Welcome to Foresight, the
Association for the Promotion of Preconceptual Care
Overcoming miscarriage, infertility, premature birth, still
birth, birth defects and more
Are you planning a family? Then you and your partner want to
be in the best of health. The preconceptual approach of Foresight
can help with overcoming the following issues in connection with
conception, pregnancy and birth:
- miscarriage
- infertility
- stillbirth
- birth defects
- unexplained infertility
- post-natal depression
- health problems in the child
- low sperm count
- poor resistance to infection
- low birth weight
- premature birth
- malformation
- breast feeding difficulties
- handicap
- hyperactivity
- learning problems
- asthma
- eczema
- and other problems relating to conception, pregnancy
and birth.
As part of preconceptual care, the above conditions are often
preventable by:
- Improving nutrition
- Combating pollution
- Treating allergies, Candida
- Treating malabsorption of nutrients
- Treating genitourinary infections
- Discouraging the use of common social poisons e.g. cigarettes,
alcohol and drugs
- Avoidance of geopathic stress.
The Aims of Foresight
We take all possible steps to ensure that every baby is born
in perfect health, free from physical or mental handicap and
other health problems. Foresight Pre-conceptual Care embraces
three plans of action;
- To secure optimum health and nutritional balance in both
parents before conception.
- To instigate research aimed at the identification and
removal of potential health hazards to the developing baby,
especially
with regard to the environment.
- To present the facts and know-how of Pre-conceptual
care so that prospective parents will be motivated to
choose to
actively
contribute to their family's greater health and happiness.
The Foresight Pre-Conception Programme
Foresight has put together a thoroughly researched pre-conception
programme, which identifies and addresses various areas of
concern in the health in any pair of prospective parents. The
objective is to optimise the health of both prospective parents
well before conception occurs so that a pregnancy can be started
with a normal, strong sperm and ova and the embryo can implant
and develop under optimum conditions in a healthy uterus, with
no danger of damage from nutritional deficiency, toxins or
disease. Over the years, Foresight has found that under these conditions
it is possible to have uncomplicated pregnancies resulting
in strong, healthy and perfectly formed babies, even in many
couples
who may have previously experienced problems relating to conception,
pregnancy and birth.
How Foresight operates
In order to help all people concerned with preconception:
-
We have a video, a poster and a range of literature available
covering all aspects of our work and methods (read our articles
and booklets).
- We hold study days for professional and lay people.
- We supply Foresight
members with the name of a Foresight Doctor
and an alternative practitioner for pre-conceptual consultation
tests and follow-up.
- We have a Resource
Centre which supplies nutritional supplements,
many of which are made to our own specifications using only
the key ingredients and organic vegetable powders. The centre features
a library of relevant books, papers and overhead transparencies
available to lend to members and health professionals.
- We have a first class laboratory where hair
mineral analysis is conducted by a qualified scientist with a modern instrument,
the Agilent 7500c Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometre.
We are a Charity, not a profit-making organisation,
and donations are spent on Foresight's own long-term
research
into the efficacy
of our methods and on running the organisation.
Our office is run partly by volunteers and all donations
are gratefully
received
and go towards Foresight's vital work and research.

Programme and important health related issues, drawn from many
different sources, and put together for the benefit of the
public, so please take time to look around it. Whatever your reason for seeking us out, we hope

Teraza and Geoff Adams, parents of Michael whose picture is shown
at the top of this page, experienced three miscarriages prior
to finding Foresight. By following our simple programme they
too eventually experienced the joy of bringing a child into the
world.
"If you really
want a baby, the Programme is easy to follow.
It's basically just healthy eating and living.
And if you can't make such small sacrifices
as giving up alcohol and junk food for a
while, then you can't really want a baby..." -
Geoff Adams
