amazing! by Healthy One  5 Stars
June 22, 2009
This book is amazing--only I would get the second edition which is more up to date (google it to get more details). It offers an amazing understanding of the body, and advice which is enabling countless women to live well with prolapse-and often even see vast improvements. This is a great companion to the DVD.

A seriously good alternative to pelvic surgery by Jackie (Alabama) 5 Stars
June 22, 2009
An excellent book with serious explanations why routine pelvic floor surgeries don't work. Most women learn the hard way that prolapse surgeries generally fail; it's only a matter of time. The secondary effects are often worse than the reason for the surgery: incontinence, further prolapse, further surgeries etc.
Please read this book and you may be pleased to find an alternative to life-changing surgery. Most surgeons are totally dependent on an understanding of female anatomy which simply is wrong. You owe it to yourself to learn about your body and how it is supposed to work.

This book helped me reverse my prolapse. My doctor could not believe that I had done this with just some simple exercises and posture recommendations. I truly recommend this book over surgery!!

holistic approach for organ prolapse by S. Merrill (Nevada) 5 Stars
November 29, 2008
The book was very good and shows you how to live with your condition and achieve improvements slowly by following dietary and exercise instructions.
Obviously, whatever your decision, surgical repair or holistic, will depend on the severity of your codition and is very personal. I decided on surgical repair for organ prolapse and have changed my diet and lifestyle to eating healthy, vegtables, fruits, no cheese, VERY little if any dairy products (an occasional whip cream on a "very" small slice of pumpkin pie, you get the picture, moderation!)eliminating the foods that MY body wouldn't eliminate properly to prevent rectocyle recurrance, etc.
My lifestyle change is not only physical but spiritual and taking better care of myself. I am very thankful, am empowered by my decision and moving forward.
My conditions: cystocyle, rectocyle, uterine prolapse and vaginal vault prolapse after three large babies. I had tried a Kegalmaster and other exercises for years to correct with very little result. Remember, that some of these conditions are hereditary, as mine was, and progression can be slowed, as the book suggests, but I felt I was beyond that point.
Sometimes the condition will show up early in life or later in life as mine did. I can tell you it is a very personal decision so please PRAY on it do your RESEARCH (google/yahoo)and INTERVIEW the BEST Gyno/Urological doctors in your area then weigh your options before deciding.
I had repair surgery late November (saving my uterus, nothing is wrong with it and I didn't by into that it should come out for future prevention) and am recoving nicely feeling very energetic and I know better than I should!
Please remember to love yourself and treat yourself kindly it is a "healing" process no matter what your decision holistic or surgical approach. If you decide on Holistic, give yourself TIME for results before taking the Surgical approach it may work for you!
God and my husband have been my "rock" of support and have been there every step! My recommendation, no matter what your decision holistic or surgical is to read the "Saving the Whole Woman" book, because you will need to include the lifestyle changes daily to heal and remain healthy.
Personally I believe Western and Holistic medicines have their place and we are RESPONSIBLE for our own health this is what I mean when I say to EMPOWER yourself by doing your own Research for your symptons!
GOD BLESS you on your decision, holistic or surgical, and may He give you strenght and courage and the support to choose what is best for YOU! :)

Saved from surgery by Spetzdod 5 Stars
November 10, 2008
I bought this book 2 years ago when I was told I needed surgery for my pelvic prolapse. I've followed many of the suggestions found in this excellent book and am completely comfortable with my body as it is now. The prolapse has improved so that it is now easy to live with. The posture changes helped the most.
