The Case of the Month is an actual patient of The Turek Clinic He hailed from Phoenix with 4 years of infertility.

I know, it’s an improbable and largely rhetorical title for a lecture. But it was Nerd Nite SF, and they asked me to talk about something provocative and daring in medicine. Fertility as a tool to measure health. Smacked and Smashed The bar was packed with hundreds of San Francisco tech titans, gamers, developers and […]
Without getting too personal here, we now have reason to believe that the semen analysis can <a href="http://www.theturekclinic.com/nih-biomarkers-for-mens-health-infertility-cancer/ Semen is Sneaky But, like tarot cards, the semen analysis may also be the furthest thing from reproductive reality.
