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.

Whether you’re an old friend or a new acquaintance, welcome! The Whole Woman forum is a place where you can make a difference in your own life and the lives of thousands of women around the world!

Hi Allysp
You could try the Search box. I found 1 reference to primrose, but from 2004! Lots for raspberry. Maybe some for fish oil, but "oil" was too short a character string to search.
Good luck

My daughter is an Alternative Medicine practitioner who has me on an herbal supplement that is supposedly specific to pelvic prolapse--I think it is helping. But we are also working on finding the root cause that could be linked to adrenal insufficiency masking as thyroid issues that have been treated with synthetic hormones. A complicate issue, and each one is differnt. A naturopath or AMP could help. check out my daughter's webb site

Allysp,
I use fish oil, but I hear flax oil is better. I use B12, A, and a calcium/magnesium/zinc tablet. I take D in the winter. In the summer, I'm outside all the time and I don't need it. The combination allows my energy level to stay really high.
I make sure I drink green tea with raspberry during the day and three glasses of soymilk which helps with the estrogen. Lipton puts out a nice green tea with different flavors.
I was never able to take vitamins as a young person because they made me horribly sick. I started vitamins when I was about fifty - one at a time. I have always relied on diet to supply me with what I needed, and for the most part, it worked, but then I'll eat just about anything, and some people won't, so it depends on how open you are to foods and how food affects you.
Iron cookware is good for keeping iron up. An iron cup in the bathroom helps too. Low iron can cause profuse period bleeding which in turn causes lower iron and just complicates everything.
Try flax seed ground up with Parmesan cheese in one of those table shakers as a substitute for table salt.
Although I'm not allergic to any foods, I react miserably to every medication I've ever taken. I can't absorb them; they make me horribly sick, so I don't even use cough drops. Cough drops give me spasmodic asthma, so you can see I'm dependent on what's in nature and the few vitamins I can take. I read a lot about this stuff.
I think fish oil helps with digestion too. So does the soymilk and I know the green tea is almost a laxative especially if you drink it in the early morning.
I think I'd try one vitamin or supplement at a time just to see how they make you feel. You can research these over Internet. Most doctors don't know a lot about vitamins.
Make sure you get three pieces of fruit a day and, if you haven't already, change to whole wheat bread. White bread is a "plugger" on the system and can cause a lot of internal problems like constipation. So does white rice. Switch to brown rice, and for that matter whole wheat pasta. These things will help make you feel better.
I'm a participator not a spectator, so my advice is go for it. Do what you can naturally do to change your situation for the better.
