When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

accupuncture
Hi Dhamma-K,
I can't comment on if the fall would cause a prolapse, though as Christine's work centres around posture, I would wonder if a fall might alter your posture causing the organs to shift? just a thought...
but, i would definately say that accupuncture can help. there are points for prolapses to do with the spleen and lifting. i found it really useful for the symptoms, in my case irritable bladder and backache.
i would also imagine it could help with your wrist.
i'm sure others will have thoughts on the rest, but do take care of yourself and look after all of you! if excercises are hurting your wrist i'd imagine they can wait...there is so much else to do to support your body and its healing on all levels.
take care

center of gravity
Hello Dhamma-K,
I actually see this in the opposite context. If the uterus in its normal position is located at the exact center of the female body, perhaps your prolapsed uterus set you off balance and caused the fall! My daughter played the rough-n-tumble game of rugby in college and I am reminded of those girls hitting the ground hard – sometimes several times in a single game. I suppose it’s possible a bad jar could cause uterine displacement, but generally speaking the body’s connections are very strong.
As for the dvd exercises…do only the ones that don’t place stress on your wrist. Hope you are feeling better by now!

fallling on the sidewalk
Dear Christine,
thank you so much for your concern. I am feeling more confident that I will be able to recover,cope, tolerate my discomfort and be able to continue my active happy life. I am much better emotionally and mentally, and am feeling this is also an oportunity to tune in spiritually . Maybe my bad fall was a needed wake-up call to return to a less rushed and healthier life style.
I am a self -employed artist ,and raised two born at home and home-schooled kids till high school and college, I am just at a point in my life where my being home wasn't necesary for someone else's needs. .. Now I get to recover at home, and take care of myself!
i have a lot to be grateful for, a nice home, a good neighborhood for walking up hill sideways, ans a loving husband. who will be happy to learn of how he can help me recover! I am also very grateful for your courage and wisdom in sharing this alternative. I have faced a few of my unresolved issues about my sexuality and self esteem by considering other women's posts and reading your book. i notice myself having to push through my insecurity to ask questions and to not feel I am "Taking up too much " of other people's time to read and respond to my questions on this website..
Once i feel a little less vulnerable and more 'on the mend" I am planning a reunion with my woman's circle from my nursing babies' days, and host a POP party with my soul sisters and teenage daughters!
till then I plan on scheduling an apointment with the acupuncturist who has helped me with TMJ and herbal treatments for menapause, and continuing following your advice regarding exercice, posture and diet changes.. i will tell him about your site, as he is very open to self- healing,
thankfully,
Dhamma-K

exercise question
I am trying to get a routine with the exercises ,walking and diet changes. I have not gotten very comfortable with the ballet exercises in the book, and am more able to follow the directions on the DVD. The verbal instructions are easier for me to follow than to look at the illustrations. I noticed a post about a tutorial online with the ballet exercises?
Is this possible? Also ,which exercises are more important or should I plan on doing both the exercises demonstrated on the DVD and the ballet exercises in the book daily ?
Thanks!
Dhamma-k

exercise
Hi D,
The whole idea is to get the body used to holding itself in this new way. The exercises are there to reinforce this framework of pushing the organs forward and keeping them there with the posture throughout the day. I would say make up your own routine with the exercises you like from both the book and dvd. It's helpful to write them on a large sheet of paper and post on a nearby wall so you can memorize them.
Yes, part of our vision for the new whole woman site is to bring women into my studio via video. We are hoping to "open the doors" by March.
:-) Christine

acupcunture
Hi Dhammak
I've finished training as an acupcunturist this year and remember treating a chef who had wrist problems (from all the lifiting pot's and pains, that kind of overuse) during school. Acupcunture was very sucessfull for her. I would suggest you also make sure to keep you're wrist warm as it's prone to be exacerbated by wind, cold, damp condition;s what tcm call's "entering" the body. (You know like the cold stiff feeling people often get in their bones in the change of season/ or particualrily damp day).
Best wishes
