IVF Treatment in Israel – High Success Rates at Considerably Lower Costs

Most people assume that they will conceive and raise children one day; however, an increasing number of couples are struggling with fertility issues. For infertile couples, the stresses of not being able to conceive can be a devastating obstacle which can oftentimes threaten an otherwise stable and loving relationship.

For many couples that have been coping with infertility, in vitro fertilization or IVF treatment (the process by which eggs cells are removed from the ovaries, fertilized with male sperm outside the body, and then placed in the uterus) may be their only chance of conceiving and carrying their own biological child.

The world’s first IVF “test tube baby” was born in 1978, and the practice has since then brought joy into the lives of thousands of childless couples during the thirty years since it has been applied by the British researchers Steptoe & Edwards.

The Natural Remedy of the Dead Sea

For thousands of years, the Dead Sea has attracted visitors due to its natural elements which are unique only to the region. Situated at the lowest point on Earth (417 meters below sea level), the Dead Sea which attracts tourists due to its natural phenomena, also draws in visitors because of the effectiveness that the region’s unique climate has in treating various ailments and conditions.

Over 40 years of research indicates that the Dead Sea’s unparalleled combination of natural resources and climatic factors have had long term favorable effects on a variety of rheumatic, dermatological, and joint diseases.

Amongst many other dermatological diseases, the Dead Sea is particularly renowned for its effective treatment of Psoriasis. Sufferers of the condition respond particularly well to the treatments available at the Dead Sea, both in terms of disappearance of lesions and the duration of remission. The region’s low elevation and minimal depletion in the above ozone layer allows patients to benefit from extended safe exposure to sunlight at low risk, due to the richness of therapeutic UVA rays and rarity of harmful UVB rays.

In additional to the restorative effects of the sunlight, the several other factors contributing to the positive health effects stimulated by the climate of the Dead Sea include: the mineral content of the sea water, the very low content of pollens and other allergens in the atmosphere, and the relatively high atmospheric pressure.
Patients suffering from rheumatic diseases undergo a treatment process which involves careful observation, intensive physiotherapy and rehabilitative treatment, including Dead Sea baths and sun exposure. However, patients suffering from lung disease do not undergo complex procedures but rather benefit from the Natural Health Spa atmosphere in day and night therapy. A recent study showed that this treatment significantly increases levels of arterial oxygenation (SaO2), sleep oximetry and improved exercise performance.

The Dead Sea contains a unique reservoir of salts that provides special potential for outdoor Balneotherapy. Patients suffering from any kind of arthritis undergo treatments including bathing in the Dead Sea and pools containing Dead Sea water or thermal sulfur spring water, self-application of black mud at the Seashore, envelopment of warm mud packs to the joints and medical massages.

In addition to these active therapies, the ambient environmental conditions, with uniformly warm temperatures and a low level of relative humidity, high barometric pressure, oxygen-rich air, bromide-rich atmosphere, and floating in the Dead Sea water, aid to the improvement and the well-being of the patients and their joints.
Today, the Dead Sea has become a leading international destination for health and wellness treatments, as well as a recreational vacation spot. Tens of thousands of visitors flock to the region’s world-class health and therapeutic centers each year to take advantage of the unique natural therapies coupled with the tranquil ambience.

Israel’s Shemer Medical Center is at the forefront of the arranging optimal medical retreats for patients at the Dead Sea. After arranging a comprehensive check-up medical examination performed by a specialist at the institute’s medical center in Haifa, an individually tailored treatment plan is recommended and implemented for the patient at the Dead Sea medical facility.
