Homeopathy

Great post!! Can you tell me the difference between a homeopath and a naturopath? You mention both in your post. Since I have very little confidence in most (not all) western medicine drs, I have been considering finding an alternative modality. Your input would be most helpful. Free2be

I agree that herbal supplements can pile up along with cost. My husband and I try things out and that's not cheap. Then we have bottles of stuff we may take just because we paid for them or have to throw them away. I've been working on narrowing down to the things that really help specific problems. I have finally found a good combo that provides most of what I want (vitamins, feminine needs, minerals) that cut out a lot of capsules and a lot of expense. I still have to add red clover, pau d'arco, aloe vera (great for inflammation). It's hard to find the right combo on the market and that's why I'm thinking a good homeopathic practitioner would be better. We have used some homeopathic preparations for specific temporary problems which have been very effective, and we started gardening several years ago hoping to protect ourselves homeopathically from local environmental pollutants.

I have to say, though, that for prolapse there is nothing better for me than the posture described here.

Are you freezing down there? Or are you a transplanted Texas angel?

What particular symptoms do you treat with homeopathy?

Thank you WTA. for that wonderful explanation of the differences between homeopathy and naturopathy. Now onto finding a homeopath that has some experience with prolapse. Will report back as this new venture unfolds.

As I have stated before and so you possibly would not have seen my earlier posts some time back now wildtexasangel, I am not at all against faith healing, just need to remember the odds on that happening.
WWposture works as a physical approach to prolapse which is a physical injury; makes sense.

Hi ladies, it is nice to know that homeopathy helps for prolapse. Does anybody know how to find one in Los Angeles area??? I'd love to try

Wildtexasangel has not yet explained in what way homeopathy helps prolapse.

Yes, please understand that homeopathy isn't part of the WW approach to prolapse in any way. Members are free to post anything they want here, but moderators have to keep confusion to a minimum between what WW is and what it isn't. - Surviving

Can you explain the mechanism by which a drop of water or a pill pulls a prolapsed organ up? Even more to the point, can you explain the mechanism by which a drop of water or a pill which when analyzed revealed not one molecule of any active ingredient, as is the case with homeopathic medicines? WWposture is based upon a researched and well argued approach to women's anatomy. WW offers a successful alternative to surgery and Christine in her book explains why and how it works. Because I find her ideas make sense, and having applied them found them to work that is why I am here on this forum. Just because this is an open forum, that does not mean I should go along with just anyone who makes a similar claim about a product (and without proof or real explanation) which has no firm basis in either medicine or anatomy. This forum exists primarily for women who wish to ask questions about WWposture and process. As surviving says this does not mean we cannot be open minded to other women's suggestions, but it is reasonable to expect some proof. And you are not providing it.

I did look up the definition of homeopathy, and became more confused by the explaintion as I read on. So you take a little of the substance that ails you, water it down until it doesn't exist anymore, and then administer this solution, and then wait for the placebo effect to kick in?
How do you even know what the substance is that is part of the original component?
I don't know, but I think this would take a tremendous amount of study or a tremendous amount of trust in a particular homeopathic doctor.
I guess I am with Fab on this one: I have read the whole woman literature, and find that it has a true source that is understandable, that I have control over my own body. I like that aspect.

I agree with fab and AG. You may be practicing the posture, but it doesn't sound like you have understood the principles of pelvic organ support. Have you read the book, do you know WHY posture works, what are the forces acting upon the organs? - Surviving

I was one of those scared and desperate women when I found this site. And, if I found it cluttered with all different kinds of remedies to fix me, I would probably have left even more confused. I like that our moderators keep us focused on what this forum main subject is, the whole woman approach.
I am sure there are other approaches out there that work for different people, but I think that then they should go to those forums for that information.

AG, I was one of those too, and you are totally correct. I feel I was one of the lucky ones because I landed quickly on this site when I began my search, and I watched Christine's overview video, and from that second on, it was a no brainer for me. I didn't even read this forum in the early days! But if I had, and found a jumble of anecdotal "solutions", I would have left more confused than I arrived. - Surviving

When Wildtexasangel claims "I am just offering something to add to the people here that are in pain and have almost no hope" she really needs to understand that if a woman is in pain with pelvic organ prolapse she should go to her doctor and be checked out that there is not something more going on. She also needs to realize that women are attracted to this site because Christine's method does offer hope. Homeopathy has no basis in science or medicine; it's a trick magic formula, like snake oil, and I truly have the impression that if Wildtexangel were genuine she would not have continued to persist in selling homeopathy to us. I too if I had seen this type of stuff accepted on this forum as a newbie would have bolted.

Or, in this case, cuttlefish ink.
Call me a whole woman snob, but I can't say enough how I like the fact that I have the control over my own body and how I can affect my own organs without putting some foreign substance in it.

Had to Google that one, but yeah, AG is right. Also sometimes referred to as the "squid remedy". - Surviving

I have had it on pasta in a seafood restaurant, not bad. But that would have been full strength, not as a mere pale shadow or memory. Now that it has been discovered how intelligent these creatures are it gets even iffier to the young and idealistic.

Poor squids!

Um, yes, I'd be another one running away very fast if homeopathy was promoted here.

I am truly sorry if anyone here came across as mean. We hope you will continue to participate if and when you have questions or comments regarding prolapse management and posture. But some of us were merely taking your suggestion to research homeopathy for ourselves. When I did, it was hard for me to take what I found very seriously. I don't think I was mean, but I plead guilty to the sarcasm part. Please don't forget, we are working hard every day to spread the truth about prolapse. - Surviving

I don't consider our discussion sarcastic. We just did not find merit in the remedy, and then discussed that. If. Wildtexasangel had some actual proof of her findings, she could have presented that instead of getting huffy because we disagreed. That is what discussing is all about, presenting and arguing a point.
Whole woman work stands for itself, it doesn't need any extra help to work. But, that's just it, you have to work at it. Taking a magic pill to cure your prolapse just doesn't make sense to me.
