Abdominal Myomectomy & Uterine Reconstruction Surgery

Adenomyosis (uterine endometriosis) and uterine polyps should be the first two differential diagnoses made when a client seeks a practitioner’s help for excessive uterine bleeding with clots.  Unfortunately, doctors mostly focus on conditions like fibroids, or jump to treatments like endometrial ablation before fully understanding the situation.   Fibroids are not the only cause of excessive (both in duration and amount) bleeding and clots, yet, sometimes, they are removed only to have the problem continue.  Even worse, most gynecologists don’t truly clean out the whole uterus of its problems (polyps, adenomyosis, cysts) and later, hysterectomy may be recommended, or uncontrollable bleeding may occur during a vaginal myomectomy and then the uterus has to be removed in order to save the patient’s life.

Abdominal myomectomy means that fibroids are removed from the uterus when the uterus has been pulled up out of the patient’s abdomen, to be returned after it is cleaned out.  Unlike vaginal myomectomies, there is little bleeding, perhaps a quarter of a cup at most.  In vaginal myomectomies, only one fibroid is often removed since the ultra sound usually only alerts the doctor to one fibroid.  With the abdominal myomectomy, the doctor cuts the uterus open so is able to see and remove everything that’s not supposed to be there: fibroids, adenomyosis, etc.  also, fibroids on the outside of the uterus are easily seen and removed.

The surgery for a vaginal myomectomy most likely leave fertility intact, where as with the abdominal myomectomy, the possible vertical cut of the uterus or the removal of certain adenomyosis cells will destroy pregnancy hopes.  However, those with adenomyosis in the uterine muscle layer will already have compromised fertility without knowing it.  Endometrial cells swell with blood even when they’re in the wrong place.  In the muscle layer, this means hemorrhaging drowns the muscle cells, which means that if there’s a pregnancy, the uterus will only grow so far before it ruptures, killing the woman.  Therefore, a woman with undiagnosed adenomyosis may go in for fibroid removal via vaginal myomectomy and be unaware that she should not attempt pregnancy.  Sooner or later, the bleeding and clots will be noticed and the presence of fibroids will be suspected.  (Most gynecologists don’t test for, nor mention adenomyosis as a possibility, yet they know they read it on the lab report of those women who have had hysterectomies.)  These poor women are subjected to further vaginal myomectomies until hysterectomies are recommended.  The unsuspected adenomyosis can be removed via abdominal myomectomy.  Women do not have to lose their uteruses in order to stop the dangerous bleeding.  Abdominal myomectomies can be performed by Dr. Del Junco, who is not a gynecologist.

Pelvic reconstruction surgery occurs immediately after the uterus has been cleared of all fibroids, adenomyosis, cysts, polyps, and blood clots.  It is sewn up inside and out and then replaced in the abdominal cavity, much smaller than before.  Only healthy tissue remains to take the woman into a normal menopause and to occupy the space the uterus was intended to occupy—rather than fallen intestines and such which may occur in a woman who has had a hysterectomy.

If you have been diagnosed with fibroid disease, I highly recommend you try to figure out if you have adenomyosis as well.  No matter which treatment options you feel are right for you, you want to also make sure that you are being fully diagnosed.  If your doctor is telling you that a fibroid has to come out immediately and that you may need a hysterectomy, please consult another doctor.  I had a fibroid the size of a baseball, and Dr. Del Junco rightly thought that the fibroid was not the only thing causing my  troubles: adenomyosis was.  Don't accept a doctor telling you that you don’t need your uterus.  That only shows ignorance on their part. 

7/6/2015: If I could go back two-three years, I'd start taking Dr. Theresa Dale's homeopathy as well as other things.  I'd also do anything to get out of stressful situations.

Water Birth Propaganda

I heard propaganda against water birth today, so felt I had to chime in about it.  I read ABC News’ article entitled, Report: Labor in Tub Ok but Water Births Unproven.


Not only was giving birth to my daughter in water comforting to me, my baby was in bliss herself.  My naked hands were her first real contact with the world, unlike others who have gloves touching them, as I pulled her up out of the water.   

“There’s no count of how many babies in the U.S. are delivered in water,” writes Lauran Neergaard in this ABC article.  When I registered my daughter’s birth, the paperwork asked where she was born and if it was accidental.  I could only answer “home.”  It is too bad I couldn’t say “in water.”  If the Powers That Be can’t say for certain how many babies are born into water, how can they possibly make a case against water birth?  

The report which ABC is reporting on supposedly says the “potential risks of underwater delivery include infection, difficulty regulating the baby’s body temperature and respiratory distress if the baby inhales water.”  Firstly, hospital births in general pose a higher risk to a newborn and mother than water births do.  My home, for example, had only the germs and such with which I, the mother, was already familiar.  The water and tub were clean.  Mothers-to-be who plan to birth at home, whether or not in water, educate themselves on the matter and are prepared for many scenarios.  Both partners are empowered, which empowers the child, but unlike a hospital birth, these parents can control bacterial and viral risks better than a simple patient in a hospital can. 

Secondly, midwives monitor the temperature of the water.  Believe me, it is way too hot for the mother due to the workout she is getting, but it is maintained at a temperature to keep the baby safe.   I have only visited people in hospitals, so am unable to report on a delivery room itself, but can say the air conditioning was uncomfortable for me.  I highly doubt the air temperature in the room is as hot as the water in my tub was.   Just who is it who cannot regulate the temperature of the baby, especially as it first comes out of the mother?

 Lastly, babies are attached to the placenta, which is attached to the mother, and the babies are not breathing, yet.  My baby had such a gentle birth, on some level she must have believed she was still at the stage where no-one expected her to breath.  I rubbed her feet and spoke to her.  She was happily gazing at me and at others when they came closer to her.  These babies are not as a kid in a pool who might panic and inhale water.  They move from a confined environment of water to a bigger area.  Air has not been introduced to them.  They do not know to inhale water.  Also, whatever babies do within the womb is what they would instinctively do just outside; although, they are busy getting squished and having their organs strongly massaged.  Surely, when they gulp in the water when inutero, they are at rest.  Gulping water would most likely not be done when something is clearly going on.  I know plenty of youngsters who were born in respiratory distress and all of them were air births in a hospital. 

The Academy of Pediatrics should gather numbers, perhaps from midwives, publish the percentage of respiratory distress from water babies and next to it, reveal the percentage of dry birth babies with respiratory distress.  This report seems to be very lacking in hard core facts and blatantly ignores the dangers of medically managing births in general.

The ABC article even quotes a nurse, Cathy Emeis, of Caughey, a hospital in Oregon, if anything, stating the case for water births.  She said that although the numbers are low, “several dozen” per year, water births “don’t show increased risks.”  Several dozen can equal thirty-six.   For all we know, thirty-six over an unspecified time period may be 360 plus.  If none of these births had any complications, why are the Powers That Be using such lousy evidence to scare women away from birthing in this manner?  Are they testing how asleep we really are?  Are water birth babies too independent and do not fit in with the Agenda 21 mold?

 

 

Thoughts on Western Medicine

In Oakland, California a thirteen-year-old girl will be taken off life support if the doctors have their way.  She was undergoing a procedure for apnea which included removing her tonsils and ended with her becoming brain dead.  The parents never dreamed that their child would be harmed during this procedure, or they wouldn’t have consented to it.  The hospital should have to pay for her life support until the parents are ready to end her life.  At the time the plug is pulled, does it go down as iatrogenic, death by doctor, or death by plug pulling?  Esoteric Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Herbs will not kill you, along with many other balancing treatments that are available to you out there.  The treatments don’t mask symptoms, nor do they create new ones, yet, my insurance doesn’t cover me being able to choose my out of network acupuncturist and I have a costly PPO plan!   Perhaps her parents had their hands tied by their insurance company.  You to to who we say and do what they tell you!  Diet and lifestyle changes would have most definitely been addressed.  But, here too, responsibility falls on the patient.  Was it easier for these parents to allow a little snip snip here and there and a pill for x amount of days compared to starting to eat organic, whole, GMO-free foods, prepared with time and not by simply opening a package or going through Drive-thru?  This thirteen-year-old’s brain death stands as a wake-up call to us all.  Do you really want to trust the money-making machine with your life?
 
I was recently speaking with a perimenopausal female who is still menstruating and was placed on estrogen without progesterone.  Her heavy bleeding seems to me to be caused by estrogen dominance, yet her doctor is combating the problem with more estrogen!  This woman’s future will include the option of having an hysterectomy or endometrial ablation, two favorites of doctors who don’t have a clue about women’s health.  If you are a woman, do yourself a favor and read What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause by Dr. Lee and find yourself a gynecologist who understands about saliva testing and progesterone cream.  Know yourself and know facts so you can force your doctor into an intelligent conversation.  If you feel they are not for you, move on.  I haven’t met a doctor yet who is comfortable with me being in charge of my health, who wants to take time with me, who will support a drug-free lifestyle with organic, whole foods as medicine, so I’m still looking.  I certainly wouldn’t allow any doctor I’ve met so far to place me on estrogen, nor to take my child’s tonsils out for apnea.  I haven’t met a doctor yet whose number one concern in that moment is me.

I heard that a pregnant nurse refused the flu shot and was subsequently fired.  It should be her whatever-is-left-of-the-Constitutional right to decline something that she deems harmful to her child.  This is a nurse I would love to have tending me in an hour of need.  Thinkers such as she is have no place in the money-making machine known as Western Medicine, though.  I recommend she contact the NVIC and ask for a list of doctors and researchers who would decline the flu shot.  I heard a researcher of the flu shot talking at one of their symposiums back in 2003 in Virginia and he said that he’d never take it nor give it to his family members when he’d allow other kinds of shots.  He would be a terrific witness to call to the stand in her fight against the injustice of her being fired.  Perhaps, though, she should find a more loving profession.  One that supports life and health and doesn’t make people wrong, belittling values, and destroying health.

My Thoughts on The Hunger Games Series and Our Reality

I have not read any of The Hunger Games series, so I do not know for certain that my guesses are accurate, but have had people well versed in the subject think I have read the series.   I just feel that books and movies serve to inform the public about what is happening under their noses, but also to teach what the desired reaction should be from the masses.  My prediction may be way wrong, but I reckon the whole Hunger Games series has to end with the people revolting violently against the establishment, being victorious and free in the end.  In this so called real life situation, (that the system has worked very tirelessly to set up for eons) reading about or seeing a successful revolution can put us into a frame of mind where we will do the same.  Thus we will end up in so called “districts” with stiffer regulations imposed, because we actually believed fighting was the way out.  Then after years, we can revolt again, because the books and movies told us that we would be successful eventually. 
In order to get out of the so called Agenda 21, we need to do it in another way other than to revolt.  The books/movies out these days set us up for failure if we think we can bring down the system with the violence that the system workers started.  One step to succeed away from our “districts” is to see the illusion of our powerlessness and do little empowering things.  Examples: Research so you can say no to doctors and their drug pushing.  Stop getting information about products from their advertisements and/or doctors.  Do your best to eat organic, homegrown, nonGMOed foods.  Do your best to not “eat out” and to eat foods with as little ingredients as possible on the label.  Recognize that the education system was designed to destroy the family unit and to create hoodlums.   If you work in a school system, research the educational system including books by Gatto and on the Sudbury School.  Recognize if you are being the robot teacher they want you to be, stopping a child’s free thinking and revolt against that by listening to the child and supporting him or her.  Do high-vibrational healing work in order to become less dense and gunked up.  Especially if you are a police officer, military personal, or someone who is placed with the job of removing people from their homes, or depriving them of their natural rights, say no and stop supporting the system.  Open your heart chakras.  Integrate your pain.  In a nutshell, if there is an injustice occurring, stand up against it.  Just simply do not participate in it, like in not answering your phone if some part of the system is trying to force personal information out of you for their “survey.” 
I wonder why no-one has questioned how a story about children killing children became so popular.  How did a publishing house just know that this was a story line that the public would gobble up now at this time?  They knew.   Through video games purchased, through the drama that the media spills out to its gullible audience, by the way it seems that GMO labeling was voted down in California and President Obama was voted in, and probably many other mechanisms by which we are being gauged and rated, they knew.   
Governments all around the world since the dawning of governments have bullied the masses into slavery.  This is nothing new.  On their road to accomplishing this end, they have moved people out of their territories and murdered them.  Both Australia and America come to mind in recent history for getting to where they are today by destruction and displacement.   The idea of Reservations has been around since at least 1608.  If we’re not careful, the new word will be Cities.

Another Alphabet Gang Murder

I am not familiar with the 911 author who was killed last February along with his children and dog.  Did anyone think to check for evidence in the dog's mouth or under it's nails?  I reckon not.  Alphabet Gang members are protected by their governments worldwide-even when they kill their own as with JFK.  Anyway, this is just to bring your awareness to this situation.
