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.

Many of us, myself included, discovered for ourselves that you cannot simply dabble in the WW work for awhile if you expect results. I have a feeling you already know this, since you've described the exact problem. It's extremely hard to break old posture habits, but until you do, and until you can make this posture your own, your results will be very limited. Many women never manage to get there, but I think you have a good chance of making it simply because you recognize the situation for what it is.
As for firebreathing, it's a useful tool when done correctly, whenever your symptoms are bad and the opportunity presents itself. Before and/or after toileting are good times. When you do it, try to increase your time up to several minutes when you can. But even a minute or two of firebreathing well-timed, can be a real boon. - Surviving

Hi Mamula, I am sure u r on
Hi Mamula, I am sure u r on the right track and we all have good days and bad days re prolapse. I certainly find if I am engrossed in something I actually forget I have prolapse . However I know Ihave to live with it and like u will never have an op. I do think that if u can walk for 30 mins 3 times a day in posture it will make a big difference. I have a large dog so that is my minimum walking each day! I did however dislocate my shoulder two years ago and was unable to risk walking for many winter weeks. My prolapse def got worse and still I work to get back to where I was . Like u I am nearly 70 but still very active and fit providing I can control my day ,my food,my sitting,my walking and my exercising! I had my posture checked by lovely UK WWoman tutor but was lucky as it was correct .I based it on learning from book and First Aid for Prolapse lessons and exercises.
The main thing I find with posture is to stand tall but then relax a little. Open the chest area is useful tip given above and then relax the lower tummy area,very tricky that! I notice that if I am anxious,worried or up tight at all the stomach contracts and prolapse worse. The exercises def make a difference too. Also I learnt here that lying down is neutral,sitting and slouching usually make things worse and self true for me. I am retired and if I am reading or watching TV or using iPad I lay down! It helps for me .
I also use the raw honey every day as suggested here,a small dab high in the vagina keeps the flora good! I use organic coconut oil too to stop chaffing especially on a long walk. The walk in posture is so important,certainly worth getting it right although strangely it is very straight forward once u have mastered it. Good luck!

Thank you.
Thank you so much for responding. It is so hard for me to take time for myself but it has come to the point that I have no choice anymore. I just must "do it".
