can it aid fertility?
After three years of trying for a second child, Kath and Murray Chapman had almost given up hope. Doctors had told them Mrs Chapman had a hormone problem which meant fertility treatment would be a waste of time. But the 40- year-old mother remembered she had read somewhere that reflexology could help with infertility.

She soon became pregnant and gave birth to second son Fraser five months ago. While doctors insist there is nothing to prove the alternative therapy was responsible, she is sure it worked. Mrs Chapman, who also has a four-year-old son called Jake, said: ‘I am convinced I wouldn’t have become pregnant without the reflexologist’s help. I was absolutely shocked, but obviously delighted, to find I was pregnant after being told we couldn’t have a second child. It’s a dream come true.’ Mrs Chapman, from Deepcar, Sheffiel
