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.

Medical Stats
Very interesting indeed. I experienced this kind of statistical manipulation first hand when my doctor was pressuring me to induce labour for my overdue baby. He said that the mortality rate would increase by 33% if I let the baby go 2 weeks overdue. The real risk of mortality DID increase by that amount: It went from a little over 1 in 1000 for babies at 40 weeks, to closer to 2 in 1000 for babies at 42 weeks. So relative risk increase was about 33%, but absolute risk increase was about 0.1%.
So, one way you can get straighter numbers out of a doctor is asking if the percents refer to relative risk or absolute risk.
