>Okay all you natural health/midwife-type gurus out there...a really good

>and it just happened (the prolapse) in the last two days. She can feel
>it, and if she squats over a mirror, she can see something protruding
>slightly. No bleeding at all. Everything she's read about it says a
>hysterectomy is her only option. Are there are useful herbs she can take or
>exercises, etc? Anybody had this happen and NOT had surgery? (The only 2
>people I know had complete hysterectomies.)

>Same friend also has giardia - and her dr says she HAS to take this
>medicine for 10 days and NOT to nurse while taking it. Will it
>eventually clear up by itself? There is no way she's going to stop
>nursing, so we were wondering if anyone knows anything about this? The dr
>is NO help at all! :)

>Forward to anyone at all who might be able to help. Jan's a
>really close friend and she *really* doesn't want surgery... and wants
>to know if she'll be able to have another baby ever again?
