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.

Yes yes yes!
Welcome Sylvia - glad you found your way here. Absolutely order the DVD and start incorporating the posture (and other things) into your life now....before things start to bother you more. I myself am partial to the book, so get both if you can (it just fits better into my lifestyle....and it contains a TON of information that you will return to again and again).

Hi sylvia doctors know only
Hi sylvia
doctors know only what they know,, because i got mine fixed, I now have a grapefruit sized prolapse unless i wear my pessary. There are consequences of sewing flesh to flesh ....muscles can be repaired if they haven't been cut thru...Diet, exercise, posture are better- "posture before pessary, pessary before surgery"

Hi Sylvia
So glad you have found us. I am sure we can help you fine tune the management of your pelvic organ prolapses. You can search the Forums for particular topics you are interested in.
I am fascinated that you found a link on Dr Oz' website. How did you find it? I wonder if it is still there? I just had a look at the site and couldn't find any Links section. Can you help me to find it please? I did view the videos on pelvic organ prolapse, but no Links were there. His videos are certainly a lot more conservative (in the real sense) than they used to be. There is very little detail or emphasis on surgical solutions like I remember in the past. They even showed a ring with support type pessary!
Hope to hear more from you. These Wholewoman techniques really work, given time and perseverence.

Well, not sure exactly where I saw it on his site. I went thru quite a few pages of Q&A's on bladder stuff and saw this....link or ad?....clicked on it which took me to an article by Christine which had the www for her site.

ww posture
hi all, found this site a couple days ago. I am very recent to bladder prolapse. I have ordered DVD and book. I am in Australia and am eager to learn about ww posture, can someone explain what this is as I am on my feet 12 hours a day. Makes for a very tired body by the end of the day.

Posture for bailey
Here is a quick version of the posture. Someone else will chime in I'm sure. Stand with feet facing forward. Relax lower belly and allow lower spine to curve naturally (total opposite of the "stomach pulled in and butt tucked under" way that we are taught all our lives!). Pull chest up. Shoulders are down, but not pulled back. Don't stick out your chin....maybe down a little. Keep that belly relaxed and breathe through your nose, expanding the belly (not your ribcage) as you breathe. Hope I didn't forget anything. Good luck! Takes practice to remember all this, but it feels right once you get there.

Thank you for the posture reply. I can now get started while I wait for the postman to bring my book and DVD. Much appreciated.
