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.

about the posture
Thanks for submitting this, Jean. I actually have Dr. White’s book, but it’s in storage at the moment. As I recall, it was unremarkable with the exception of his thoughts on keeping the spine straight from crown of head to tailbone (and at a 45-degree angle) when squatting to lift. Telling people to stand in a “relaxed, balanced manner” gets them out of military stance, but offers no instruction on how to pull the spine into it’s natural shape. It never occured to him, of course, just what that shape might be. The wholewoman posture does become very relaxed and balanced, but not without the work of building the musculature that supports these changes.
The rest of the suggestions in the article I found pretty meaningless, except the last one about increased pressure on the spine in seated positions. This is because the full use of the horizontal part of our spine is often compromised when seated. Sitting in a straddle allows the greatest forward sacral tilt.
