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.

I'm so sorry to hear about this latest new curve that has been thrown your way. You are overdue for some relief and good news in your life. I hope that you can find it somewhere.
The vast majority of us have learned posture without a private consult with Christine or a trained practitioner. There is a book, basic dvd, a yoga series, and a wealth of information on the site and YouTube channel. A consult was suggested in your case because you have such a complicated set of medical issues, and none of us here on the forum are really qualified to suggest what might help you and what might aggravate.
That being said, the posture itself is just natural and normal, the same way that children carry themselves until they reach a time in their lives when well-meaning adults tell them to start pulling their bellies in tight. If you get down on your hands and knees, does your prolapse retreat and give you relief? Assuming it does......then the idea is to stand up with your lower half still in this more or less horizontal position. It requires a relaxed belly so that the organs have room, and a pulled-up chest which naturally creates the nice curve in the lower lumbar spine. Belly breathing (not chest breathing) and gravity make this possible.
Anyone can adopt the posture, everyone should. We just don't know exactly how your particular challenges will factor into this process. Even women who have had hysterectomy and prolapse repairs are encouraged to do so. - Surviving
PS, I see that you used the word "cure" and I must remind you that even in the best of situations, there is no cure. It's maintenance for all of us.

thanks Surviving
Yes if I get on my hands and knees ( as I often do to urinate) I do find a tremendous relief. I definately want to try this, Sad to say but I feel my docs may be right in that I may not survive surgery. My breathing definately is not the best and I struggle with it ( mostly when laying down). I looked up this so called "mild CF" and all I get is that it's simply delayed onset. Who knows? there may even be some postures that help with my breathing so I can sleep. a big part of me wishes I had delayed further specialists and tests of my deteriorating health, but maybe it's a good thing I didnt wait. I simply assumed it was more nuero crude. I will pay more attention to the way my young neices and nephews. carry themselves. thanks again!
