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.

Remember, the forum is here for two reasons. First, to get your questions answered by other women who have knowledge and experience to share. Second, it is the place to share your results and successes. Your stories will help other women learn that Whole Woman is what they need.
Whether you’re an old friend or a new acquaintance, welcome! The Whole Woman forum is a place where you can make a difference in your own life and the lives of thousands of women around the world!
Best wishes,

What now?
Hi Christine. Well done. The video enhances the letter well. Now what happens? How will the American PT Association receive this letter? How will they know to read it?

open letter
WoW! I read the letter and watched the video. The letter was full of big words about body parts I know I have, but I don't refer to them in medical terms. The video, on the other hand, was very helpful, because it showed me what I could not grasp from the medical words. I can always use help with the posture because I am still 'falling out.' That being said, I am feeling my muscles being a little less wimpy. Thanks Christine for more education!

Different ways of learning
Valid point Meribelle
We all learn in different ways, either by demonstration, by verbal description and by doing it and learning as we go. There are probably other ways as well.

Glad you found it helpful. I will put a link to the letter in our FAQs. We will also float it out in cyber-space like the kegels article. APTA would probably not care to receive the information, although I would’ve contacted them directly if they had an email address. A slow-moving bureaucracy, I suspect.

Not sending them a copy?
Christine, I am not sure what 'open letter ' means, but I would have thought it would mean that you would be expecting them to respond.
I think they have a right to be sent a copy direct; otherwise it could be seen as going behind their back to criticise them, which could be construed as a cowardly attack.
*And* they could legitimately ignore it if they have not been sent a personal copy. If they choose to ignore a personal copy, then that is not very good manners, and it does leave them open to criticism by others who can see the sense in the open letter, and are waiting to see their response.
I would think that sending them a copy would be an upfront challenge to them to respond, as well as a gesture of goodwill. How about burning itt onto a DVD and posting it to their address, listed on their website at http://www.apta.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Contact_Us ?
Then we will see what they are made of.
