I WISH big papers would describe reflexology properly - not 'With nothing to lose, she had three months of foot massage'! Can you see something seriously wrong in the picture too?!
Just wanted to get that off my chest!

RE: Bad Press!
hi janet,
thanks for posting the article and ye, it does make me cross when media word things like that.
i lifted this from the article:
To become pregnant, a woman needs a hormone rating of ten or below but Mrs Chapman's was above 25. Following reflexology, however, it dropped to below eight.
' I told the doctors about the reflexology but they dismissed it and just said it was possible that hormone levels can drop when you become more relaxed and less anxious.
well duh!!! so, ok... even if the best reflex can do is make someone less stressedand relax, which by the doctors own admission can cause the hormones to rebalance... isnt that a good thing and worth accepting :eek:? grr!! [:@]
and yeah, tights off please! 😉
RE: Bad Press!
I've heard that taking off your tights can boost your chances of getting pregnant 🙂 Oh dear, reminds me of a joke someone once told me.
