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.

Good article Louise, thanks.
Good article Louise, thanks. Keep your eye out for the writer's upcoming story about the link between the overuse of nitrogen fertilizers, and the epidemic of insulin-resistant disease. "If you’re an 85-year-old US citizen, you’re 150 per cent more likely to contract Alzheimers than an 85 year old was in 1968." Scary stuff - Surviving

Dear Louised
Dear Louised
People have had allergies to grain (not necessarily the terrible Celiac disease) since forever, well, at least my generation (pre boomers) and some before. Note, there are types 1 starting with allergies and then 2, 3 before Celiac at 4. Since the fifties there have been modifications to wheat made by geneticists in the 1970’s in commendable efforts to increase yields.
According to Dr Davies (an American cardiologist) this involved, just a few shifts in amino acids and gliadin in modern high-yield, semi dwarf wheat, making the wheat addictive and a potent appetite stimulant. I do not know how widespread the use of this wheat is. I suspect it is world-wide. I am assuming it is widespread in America for him to be speaking out. He also mentions intestinal disruption and leakiness generated by wheat lectins, and the highblood sugars and insulin of the amylopectin A of wheat and the new allergies being generated by the new alpha amylases of modern wheat.
What I do know from personal experience is that the incidence of asthma amongst children in Australia has had a dramatic rise in recent years, and continues to rise and is increasing in incident and not proportionate to population increase. I also know that my eldest son born in 1969 experienced asthma at age 3-4 when the at that time current research data said that did not happen. Only years later did researchers discover a new phenomena in that 4-year-olds were developing asthma. Since then we have had increases in Autism, Attention Deficit Syndrome, Diabetes 1 and 2,even an increase in nut allergies in societies that formerly thrived on peanut butter. I can only assume trends change for a reason and not necessarily just because research had finally caught up.
What I am interested in at this point in my life is that young women and men be provided with correct information as to the nutritional value of foods. That they understand just because Joe Bloggs can eat a certain diet and seemingly thrive, it does not necessarily follow that they can too. That diet is an individual thing depending upon background, genetic make-up, allergy susceptibility and the actual quality of food available to them. That if they declare for what they see as compelling ethical reasons (in the endearing altruism of young people) that they will be vegetarian, they be aware of the necessity of looking at what proportions of vitamins, protein, minerals, trace elements etc that their body needs to sustain itself in a healthy way, and that a true knowledge of the types and quantities of food which will achieve that is available to them. I would like that correct information out there and not just the nutritionist dogma sponsored by government health authorities (in good faith) that may or may not prove misleading. Surely in our modern western democracies this should be an individual right?
