Does anyone know of a book on the effect of  environmental toxins on male reproduction?

I work in the Semicoductor Industry and we got issued with a booklet on this subject but it was mainly for females as there are a lot of dangerous chemicals and gasses about

If you are really interested in this topic, I recommend reading "The Plutonium Files," a recently published book. It reports on the negative health effects of uranium and plutonium, specifically the results of secret tests performed on civilian citizens and members of the military, by our government. (Almost all of whom were unaware they had unwittingly become guinea pigs.) Very interesting and informative.

I know that the production of testosterone and sperm go hand in hand.  Raise both by taking a zinc supplement.  Be careful with the zinc though, as it can be toxic in high doses.

There is now a great deal of scientific knowledge about the use of nutritional supplements and their beneficial effects on both male and female fertility. These supplements can be very effective in re-balancing hormones, as well as improving overall health, which is so vital for successful conception.  Supplements are necessary because even the best diet in the world will not contain all the nutrients you need to give you the best chance of conceiving.\n\n\nFolic Acid\n\nResearch has shown that giving B6 to women who have trouble conceiving increases fertility and vitamin B12 has been found to improve low sperm counts\n\n\nZinc\n\nZinc is found in high concentrations in the sperm. Zinc is needed to make the outer layer and tail of the sperm and is, therefore, essential for the health of your sperm and, subsequently, your baby. Interestingly, several studies have also shown that reducing zinc in a man's diet will also reduce his sperm count.\n\n\nSelenium\n\nGood levels of selenium are essential to maximise sperm formation. Blood selenium levels have been found to be lower in men with low sperm counts.\n\n\nEssential Fatty Acids (EFAs)\n\nThese essential fats have a profound effect on every system of the body, including the reproductive system and they are crucial for healthy hormone functioning. For men essential fatty acid supplementation is crucial because the semen is rich in prostaglandins which are produced from these fats. Men with poor sperm quality, abnormal sperm, poor motility or low count, have inadequate levels of these beneficial prostaglandins.\n\n\n\nVitamin E\n\n\nVitamin E is another powerful antioxidant and has been shown to increase fertility when given to both men and women. Men going for IVF treatment with their partners have been given vitamin E, and fertilisation rates have, as a result, increased from 19 to 29 percent. It has been suggested that the antioxidant activity of vitamin E might make the sperm more fertile.\n\n\nVitamin C\n\nVitamin C is also an antioxidant, and studies show that vitamin C enhances sperm quality. Some research has indicated that certain types of DNA damage in the sperm can make it difficult to conceive in the first place. Vitamin C also appears to keep the sperm from clumping together, making them more motile.\n\nL-Arginine\n\nThis is an amino acid found in many foods and the head of the sperm contains an exceptional amount of this nutrient, which is essential for sperm production. Supplementing with L-arginine can help to increase both the sperm count and quality.\n\n\nL-Carnitine\n\nThis amino acid is essential for normal functioning of sperm cells. According to research, it appears that the higher the levels of L-Carnitine in the sperm cells, the better the sperm count and motility.

Here is an article on the Environmental Health Prospectives webpage regarding the proximity to pollution sources and the risk of amphibian limb malformation:\n\nhttp://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?pubmedid=16263502\n\nThe references listed with that article should give you a lot of potential information.\n\nHere's another article looking at the effect of trematode infection on amphibian limb development:\n\nhttp://condor.wesleyan.edu/soconnell/wescourses/2004s/ees199/01/powerpoint/frogLimbDeformities-SciencePaper.doc\n\nAnd here's one on the combination of trematode infection and pesticide exposure:\n\nhttp://www.pnas.org/cgi/reprint/99/15/9900\n\nGood luck!

I would like to suggest an excellent book (with a gruesome but relevant name) by Sherry Rogers, M.D.  The book is called: "Detoxify or Die".  She will teach you why you need to detoxify, what you need to detoxify, how the body actually does or doesn't detoxify and the best approaches to 'getting the job done'.\n\nThe book is available from Amazon.com or the publisher at 1-800-846-6687.  I highly recommend this book.\n\nBest wishes.
