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.

Weston A Price Foundation
I have also visited this site on occasions and been impressed with the quality of the information. Can't remember what took me there, but it stuck in my head.

racial evolution
I've heard the suggestion that we have evolved as individual races to tolerate different foods -which is the basis of macrobiotic thinking. Soy is said to be a stresser to anyone who isn't Asian. I think it makes sense. I am mostly German and do really well with potatoes and grain, but I don't tolerate corn well. What the website said was something about soy-milk being a by-product of oil, and like so many by-products the industry finds a way to promote it for profit. The politics of food often have little interest in the welfare of the people. Peanut butter, corn-syrup, white flour, hydrogenated fats, baby food, ad nauseum.
This is the mission of the Weston A. Price foundation to really reveal the value of whole foods and get people back to nutritious food that supports health. He was a Dentist in the early part of the 1900's and was seeing changes in the jaw with less room for teeth and saw the connections to nutrition, and felt that all forms of illness stem from malnutrition. Radical thinking, eh ?
I'm doing pretty well, my POP has been the worst ever here this past week, so I've been fighting tremendous anxiety. But I have been working on a business plan which has me pretty excited. I have this lovely 2 acres of land between the river and a very arterial high-way on the outskirts of a decent sized town (50,000) and have 90,000 cars a week drive right past the shop space we have rented out off and on. I've decided to do a local food store/country store and am busy finding all the wonderful producers in this great state of Montana - as well as continue the gardening I love to do. I'm thinking a berry farm - I love to grow currants.
I believe in this new economy we MUST think local, use the power of our money to support our own communities as much as possible. I no longer shop at any store that isn't locally owned - period. I want to give everyone another convenient alternative to the Farmers' Market. I'm in love with my idea but wonder at my physical ability to really carry it out. This pop really depresses me still at times but I usually end up feeling defiant and think things like what the hell is it going to do ? Fall out and hit the ground ? I just can't live a life of sheltered resignation. I'm thinking of getting fitted for a real pessary for when I physically work - that little 'ol sponge gets a little lost.
We are doing chickens again and I'm so excited about this heirloom breed I've found called "Dominiques". Known for their hardiness, good mothering and docile temperment. Roosters that like their bellies rubbed ! Have you ever heard of such a thing ? I'll just be happy if they aren't chasing the kids..
I have such great affection for this community, all these very diverse wise women have been a rock of sanity for me. Nothing has ever been so difficult as living with this and I really feel like you all made such a difference.
Love and gratitude,
Zelda
