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.

Lymph Systems
I haven't heard it in those words but walking is good for helping the lymph system drainage (Search Google for Leg Circulation and you should find lots of information)
But - In the same instance sitting on a chair pointing toes outttttttt hold.... Maybe ten fifteen secs then bend backkkkkkkkkkkk you will feel the stretch on the calf - That also helps with lymph drainage - The lower drainage system they call the seond heart so you could find info by searching that also

these boots were made for walking
Literally -- I am convinced that walking is one of the biggest keys to good health, and I wouldn't be surprised if "massaging the lymphatic system" is one of the many benefits. The human body was designed to walk, and many of us do far too little of it. Articles keep popping up about the impact of walking on wellness. Sorry, I don't have the time to pull any up just now. I look at some of my patients who are not ambulatory, and sometimes it is hard to tell what is causing their bodies more harm -- the pathology itself, or the way in which the pathology keeps them immobile. The difference in wellness can be staggering between those who cannot walk at all and those who can walk even a little bit.

I just went through several
I just went through several weeks of lymphedema therapy and yes, walking was a formal part of the treatment. Treadmill until the optimal heart rate for lymph drainage; don't tell me how they figure out what that is but that's what they said. As for the intraabdominal pressure, they also gave me exercises that do exactly that, in a certain order to move the lymph from the lower extremity to the "dump" point in the upper chest. A series of leg, abdominal and neck exercises.
