AIBU to ask if this fertility treatment is legit?

[OneFootintheRave]

What do people think of the treatments being offered here?
Babysteps
The website states "The initial assessment is with leading edge medical technologies that assesses every aspect of your physical health. This is important because the human organism is very complex with so many different things going on at once, we need to look at how things are in correlation with one another".

And

"The test itself only takes a couple of minutes and is completely non-invasive. You are fully clothed except for your bare feet. Electrodes are placed on your forehead but you don’t feel anything. Your hands and feet are placed on metal plates connected to the computer. The computer then analyses the data for your therapist to interpret".

They offer:
Digital Pulse Wave Analysis.
Voice analysis sound therapy.

Interested to hear thoughts. Thanks

Absolute rubbish!!!

It sounds bollocks
Spend your money on a semen analysis, scan and bloods if you want to look at your fertility

Agree with @Parkandride. I'm not anti alternative medicine but this sounds ridiculous.

Sounds like a load of bollocks to me. But they know how desperate couples wanting a baby are.

"The human organism is very complex." Er, yes. Especially the brain. And anyone with a brain in their head will know that this test will reveal precisely nothing about a person's fertility.

I would say no but you could ask them for their evidence base and assess it (if you want a laugh).

Have you undergone the established tests yet, OP?

Good luck.

Haven’t ever heard of it before but it sounds like absolute shite. How could any data gleaned from an electrode on your forehead possibly give any insight into your fertility?

I looked their website, specifically looking at the medical scan details in your link. It uses the word quantum, therefore it's a pile of shit.

Nonsense

The first technology is made up of 7 different modalities to simultaneously test many different aspects of the human body. It is a gold standard device with high sensitivity and high specificity. It connects the dots together because of the number of different modalities to pinpoint the cause using so many different parameters. This device is able to measure homeostasis.

This in particular is total medical terminology word salad. There isn’t a single sentence which actually tells you what they’re testing for and how they do it.

Sounds like a body fat monitor, not sure what they can gain from this that will help with fertility.

If it was such an amazing piece of kit, 90% of IVF clinics would be falling over themselves to offer it.

Save your money :) - I say that as a woman currently going through IVF.

Totally legit

On another note I've got some snake oil you can buy - only £250 a litre

It's also good for worms 🐛

Total bull.

This

After 10yrs ttc and 5 ivf finally got preg

Have bloods amh Fsh semen Tested as basics

Having electrodes on you wil not tell if infertile or will struggle ttc

Nope.

Good embryos are the main factor in having a baby. Unless there is a specific functional problem diagnosed then spend the money on embryos - Embryoscope/ICSI, etc.

So it's unanimous then. A steaming pile. I had thought so but wanted to ask in a neutral way.

How are they allowed to make these claims?

What a load of shit.
I've had ivf previously, and going through it again. The tests we both needed were far more invasive than a fat monitor.

Scientist here. Utter shite. They've just jumbled up a number of buzzwords to confuse people.

If it's a UK clinic it might be worth bringing it to the attention of the HFEA.

Total scam. It's quite cruel really if you're struggling to conceive.

Utter bollox. From an ex nurse here.

Looks like it’s based in Ireland -they must have a regulatory body one can report Crap like this too?

fertilitynetworkuk.org/how-we-can-help/support-groups/republic-of-ireland-groups/
maybe this organisation might know how to report this?

But... but it says quantum. That means it's got to be good, right?

At €285 per person (no discount for a couple) you'd think they could have employed a proofreader. There are some terrible mistakes on that webpage, even if you think the BS they're peddling is legit.

Yes! After the treatment they will "get a full clear picture of your health situation and can then do up a complete inhouse treatment plan".
