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.

I think there are quite a few of us who arrived here thinking 'Tat could never work' And now hold such a passion for this work that we wonder why we were so worried :)
Great you are feeling so much better...

Thanks, quick question, my constipation trick
Thanks Granola mom (nak) and Sue!
Thanks for all you do for us ladies starting out on this journey. I'll be leaving on vacation tomorrow..
Swimming and some light hiking, will be curious how I "hold up" ;)
Got a quick question... about swimming. I have read in past posts it is ok to swim so not to concerned about that. I am curious if it would be best NOT to have the sea sponge in? I'm thinking it will absorb water? Or will it act more like a barrier and keep the water out?
Also how do any of you handle long car rides? Any hints?
I feel I've made so much progress I don't want to back slide!
One more thing! This might help someone with constipation. In an **emergency situation** take a mega dose of Vitamin C. I use Emergen-c powder packs. I learned this from my favorite Thyroid site. If you have a sluggish thyroid it could be a cause of constipation. It is advised to take in till "bowel tolerance". Your bodies natural way of getting rid of extra vitamin c. Works like a charm for me. I usually need 3 packs. Some need more.
For every day I drink one or two, take fish oil and flax oil. Eat tons of veggies, etc. I have not had to use the mega dose in over a year now. Between eating well and my Armour thyroid meds I am good to go! ;)
Thanks again Girls!

Car rides
Hi Linda
Oh Yeah, car rides. See my post of 29 July 2006, called "car seats". There is a lot of detail, some of which may not be relevant, but it all works well. I have come to the conclusion that one of the most important aspects of sitting in a car is not leaning back into the back of the seat, lumbar support or not. Not leaning back keeps your centre of gravity forward and gives you more lower belly space for your pelvic organs. Leaning back is aggravated when your hands are on the wheel and your arms press your shoulders back. You need bent arms when driving.
Actually i try not to lean against the back of chairs or seats at all when sitting up off the floor. You get used to it. I figure the less chances I give my pelvic contents to slide into undesirable configurations the better.
Also search the forum with the search box. Unfortunately "car" is too short to search so add another word or some driving or car synonyms. There is quite a bit on the Forum already.
Cheers
Louise
