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.

Sybille, I also enjoyed your article but there were parts that I didn't understand! What is "lumbar lordosis?" And at the risk of sounding very dumb, would or could you put that into laymans terms for some of us that don't understand all the medical terminology? Thanks, Nancy

I would translate if I could. This article was "lifted" from my internet surfing, to prove that Christine is on the right track and to disprove any others who tend to refute the fact that the body, as a whole, is able to minimize any symptoms, were it "held together" properly. I guess the best way to find out the medical terminology is to "Google" the word and research.

Sorry, Dr. Mattox, but we beat you to the punch. You can shelve your osteoporosis/HRT hypothesis too, because as you can see, it is insignificant. Prolapse begins to change soon after women begin to change their posture, something that would not occur if porous bones were the source of the problem. Prolapse is seen across the adult female lifespan, therefore it is time we discontinue viewing it as an older woman

Hi Nancy
In my medical dicionary the term "lordosis" is explained thus: "a form of spinal curvature in which there is an abnormal forward curve of the lumbar spine". I hope you are wiser now. I know I'm not, I would imagine that those with a straight spine where there is supposed to be a (woman's) forward curve would be more predisposed to prolapse? However what do I know?

Hi Brigid,
That definition is inaccurate. Lordosis is defined by orthopedic medicine as the natural curve of the lumbar spine, the presence of which is necessary for prevention of lower back disorders (and prolapse!) Hyperlordosis is too much curve.
