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.

RE: prolapse and exercise machines
Welcome, IAW,
I need to familiarize myself with Curves. I suggest you begin the posture. It's the every day, every hour shape of the body we need to concern ourselves with. The only exercise I believe to be harmful are ones that place us in the "boat" or crunch position where we are on our back and both our head/shoulders and legs are lifted off the floor. This sends tremendous energy to an area that is compromised for many of us.
Wishing you well,
Christine
