22 Million Hysterectomies Alive Today: You Don't Need to Be One of Them


Just because you can’t or won’t have any more children is not a reason to throw away your uterus.  Heavy bleeding isn't either. 

22 million women in the US, who are currently alive now, have had their sex organs remove.  If only they knew what you are about to read. 

Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus, a hormone-responsive reproductive sex organ with lifelong functions that are essential to a woman’s health and wel-lbeing. Oophorectomy is the surgical removal of the ovaries,the female gonads, which is performed on an average of 75% of women at
the time of hysterectomy. The medically correct term for removal of the gonads
is castration. There are 22 million women alive in this country whose
reproductive sex organs have been removed. A statistically insignificant
number of men have their sex organs removed, although the rate of cancer in
male and female organs is nearly identical. *

The number one reason women have their uterus removed, is inconvenient bleeding.  Through medical treatment consisting of acupuncture and herbal medicine, we can stop completely or reduce significantly 90% of all irregular menstrual bleeding.  A procedure that is taking the nation by storm and almost guarantees a hysterectomy within a few years is uterine ablation,  called NovaSure,  and promoted by often well respected, but misguided or under educated OBGYN’s and other healthcare providers.  

Shockingly 622,000 uteri are removed annually with the majority of those women never being referred out or educated on any level, to use acupuncture and herbal medicine to stop bleeding, reduce fibroids, eliminate endometriosis or alleviate pain.  It's imperative that women try all other options first, not just prescriptions drugs and surgeries.  Locally, we have an OBGYN  tell us one of her favorite procedures is to perform uterine ablation , NovaSure, because she said it almost guarantees her a second procedure and she loves giving hysterectomies.  Her words. Needless to say, she's not an OBGYN we send referral to for our patient care. 

Don’t be a victim. There is no going back.  You have options. 

Don’t allow your friends, sisters, aunts, mothers and daughters or God forbid, yourself, go uninformed.  A hysterectomy is forever and castration of the ovaries can be the most devastating experience of one’s life.  

We have vast knowledge and experience in stopping excessive  safely.  We can prevent  hysterectomies, we can stop bleeding.  In our medical text Chinese Herbal Medicine Materia Medica, an entire section is devoted to herbal medicine that stops bleeding.  Another section is dedicated to cooling the blood (blood that runs hot, think menopausal hot flashes), runs faster and more abundantly.  You do not have to suffer heavy bleeding and more importantly you do not need to be castrated.  You do not need to suffer from bone loss, decreased sex drive, miserable moods, declining energy that leaves many bed ridden.  Consult with a highly touted and respected Chinese Medicine Herbalist.  This is very different from a Naturopath (new herbal medicine that uses one herb or few herbs at a time).  Find the most respected Acupuncturist within an hour's drive and if they are an herbalist, expert in women's health.  You have found your match.  We offer herbal consultations to stop uterine bleeding throughout the US.  Call us (208) 938-1277.

Sadly, if you have had an ablation or a hysterectomy and are suffering terribly, we often can help reduce your symptoms and restore you life from a nightmare to a livable state.  We encourage you to call and take the steps to avoiding an ablation or a hysterectomy at all costs.
