Tissue type!

Hi everyone,

Has anyone else been told by doctors or physiotherapist that their condition is not just to do with ...the big baby..the invasive childbirth..etc but because you have a particularly suseptable tissue type? That because of this tissue type the childbirth problems have caused more damage to the ligaments holding the pelvic organs up than would be the case otherwise. I'm not quite sure whether i was being humoured because I felt guilty that I hadn't done my pelvic floor exercises well enough to avoid this prolapse beginning. Is tissue type really a factor?

I was delighted to hear Christine on the video saying that 'nowhere in the human body does tissue pull or break away from attachment points without regenerating itself...the body always seeks to repair itself'. I truely believe this from my own experience with other minor health issues. Do you think it is true whatever type of tissues you have even if the ligaments are like lace as mine were described?

I also believe that if you are completely committed to whatever course of treatment you opt for and fully believe it will work, then it will work. To that end I have recently started visualising my ligaments mending themselves, with Christine's posture and exercises and the slow long-hold P.F. contractions recommended by the physiotherapist I think this will be a magical combination!
Here's wishing you all peace and good health.

Dear Caz,

Yes, many of us have been told our conditions have their origin in disorders of our connective tissue, a diagnosis that speaks to the heart of the very deep and extremely complex issues surrounding pelvic organ prolapse.

Connective tissue disorders are SYSTEMIC diseases involving connective tissue throughout the body including that of the heart valves, eyes, and aorta. There are no connective tissue diseases involving only the pelvic structures. Although severity can vary widely, many people with true CT disease (CTD) do not tolerate pregnancy well and have a shortened life span.

Although conventional medicine sees CTD as having a purely genetic etiology, there is also much data to substantiate the widely held belief that these conditions are the result of multi-generational dietary deficiencies.

Hello Christine and thank you for your thoughtful response,

I agree with most of what you say except that when I was told that my tissue type was significantly responsible for my prolapse (which was before I found this site) my overwhelming feeling was of relief. The blame was in the microscopic parts of my body over which I then didn't think I had any control. It wasn't my fault , it wasn't because I hadn't tried hard enough with my pelvic floor exercises! It was something that I could tell other people that absolved me of guilt, it wasn't because I was too lazy or incompetant to do the pelvic floor exercises properly. And as you say this tissue blamimg makes it much easier to become accepting of the 'need' for surgery and takes the desision making out of our hands.

Then I woke up! I am so grateful to you for showing that Pelvic floor exercises are not the only thing we can do for ourselves.

Thanks Caz

P.S.
With regard to nutrition, do you think that starting to eat a better diet can help to actually improve the health of our own 40 plus tissues? Or is the best we can hope for on this score to improve things for our children?

I would think it's never too late...they say it takes about a year for every molecule in the body to be replaced! Anyway, treating ourselves and our families well nutritionally just seems part of 'right living'...the basis of all the wisdom traditions.
