ORLANDO, Fla. -- A Local 6 News anchor credits acupuncture and a Problem Solvers report for the birth of her healthy baby girl.About five years ago, Local 6 morning anchor Jacquie Sosa and her husband started efforts to conceive a child. When a year went by and Sosa could not get pregnant, she turned to artificial insemination and the fertility drug, Clomid.The drug worked immediately, according to the report."When I was six months pregnant, I lost the baby," Sosa said.Sosa and her husband tried to have a baby naturally for another year but were not successful. She then turned to infertility specialists.
"They could not find anything wrong with me," Sosa said.Sosa then tried in vitro fertilization."It was very painful," Sosa said. "It was emotionally draining. It was physically and financially draining."Sosa lost a second pregnancy a short time later.She tried in vitro fertilization at $20,000 each time and both attempts failed."I wanted to be a mother so desperately that we sold our house so I could have a $100,000 set aside to spend just on in vitro fertilization," Sosa said. "That is how badly we wanted a child."While working at Local 6 News, Sosa noticed a Problem Solver report about the use of acupuncture to treat infertility and the acupuncture physician featured in the report, Heidi Regier.Sosa became a patient of Regier and it worked, according to the report.
"I never needed the in vitro," Sosa said. "The acupuncture is all I needed."The acupuncture Sosa went through focused on the uterine area to regulate menstrual flow, relieve tension and correct the flow of energy.Some traditional doctors are skeptical of Regier's methods."I'm hugely proud and honored to have been asked to be a part of that," Regier said."When you know in your heart that you are meant to be a mother, you don't give up," Sosa said."But that same heart, wasn't it broken after the miscarriage?" Problem Solver Steven Cooper said."It was broken and still is broken," Sosa said. "You never get over that but it is healing because I have my gift."Regier said her treatments have resulted in at least 12 pregnancies.Regier can be reached at:
