terrirene Hi, I am a 49 year old perimenopausal woman who is absolutely scared silly. About a month ago I contracted an upper respitory flu that ended up kicking in my asthma so badly that for 4 weeks I coughed and sputtered just trying to breath. To make a long story short, I coughed my uterus right out of its rightful place. Now my cervix is visable when I dare look with a mirror. The pressure from it being there is giving me moderate lower backpain, not to mention sending me to the bathroom every half hour. I don't have a family GP or a trusted Gyno to go to, and am terrified to just look one up in the phonebook. I am sure I would get one who is adamantly in favor of immediate histerectomy and I dread the "fear tactics" they use to get us to comply with their "expert" advise. I am very attached to my uterus and just like a cowboy who wants to die with his boots on I would prefer that me and my uterus could do the same. I have four sisters inlaw on my husbands side ages 36 to 50, and only one still has her uterus. None of them had cancer. What terrible odds these are. How scary that hysterectomy is so common. I have ordered Christines video and book but have not yet recieved it. I am just hoping that someone can give me good advice on how to go about finding a more holistic MD. I don't want to end up having to fight to keep my uterus. Any advice on how to find one in my area of Minneapolis Minnesota. Im so thankful for this forum and Christine's work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Terri

Hi Terri,

You might try contacting the American Board of Holistic Medicine (www.holisticboard.org) and seeing if they have a referral service. Lee Lipsenthal, M.D. the board's president in 2003 gave me a wonderful endorsement for my book. I think the video will answer many of your questions and calm your fears as well.

Terri, Have you tried the sponges? I've been away from here for awhile so I don't know if you have. They are working for me! I'm 61 y/o. I still have everything except appendix and now I think that too was an unnecessary operation! Take care, Nancy
