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.

RE: Acupuncture for prolapse
Hi Kathy,
Thanks for the info on riding - I hadn't heard anything negative about it before now and will make note that it may not be a beneficial exercise for prolapsed women. I have a riding stable very near my home and have wanted to experiment with it, yet have not found the time.
Just do searches here on acupuncture and yoga - we've talked a lot about them. Women need an entirely different yoga - one that honors the true dynamics of the female body, and yes...so many of the "tucking the tailbone and lifting weights" exercises are less than helpful.

RE: Acupuncture for prolapse
Hi Kathy,
I tried acupuncture (20 sessions - one per week for 20 weeks). I did feel better after the treatments but looking back it's hard to know if it was the acupuncture that helped, or just time in general. Also while I was doing the acupuncture (maybe halfway through) I found this site and Christine's DVD and book so started the postures, too. Not a very "controlled" study at all!
Back to the acupuncture . . . the first treatment I had on my uterus I could actually feel my uterus contracting! It was really weird . . . I thought it must be doing something for me. I never felt as obvious results with my cystocele or rectocele (she inserted a needle between my butt cheeks - seemed to help my hemmoroids (sp?)).
Not sure if this is helpful but I thought I'd let you know that I have tried it.
Bye for now,
Heather
