Society is sick period. Boys and girls are taught by peers, media etc that girls /women are just sexual objects. Teens role model people like ( Christina Aguilera dressed up like naughty school girl) instead of people who have more altruistic virtues. So sad. All of this dumbing down of society has become the "in" thing. <br />I live in an area that is dominated very much by hunters most of which are "trophy" hunters. No one seems to think its inhumane to torture ( I say torture because many are not one shot kills) and kill innocent animals for something to hang on "their" wall. They also have an issue neutering their pets, but "their women" will end up with tubel ligation ( major surgery) before a man will have a vasectomy ! You would think that women by now would have put an end to horrible things done to them and their children but no ....it seems that women are now joining in on cruelties and protecting men who do it. If you read the comments under the video of (btw what appears to be a healthy living uterus being branded) his ex nurse defends him. Now maybe its a male nurse I doubt it though. We need strong women role models in society desperately to mentor and speaks up for those who cant. Strong does not mean becoming like men such as this doc and trying to be "one of the guys". <br />I know that there are many men out there that find this behavior gruesome also and I'm not talking about you, you too have a responsibility to stand up for and protect women. - brendabrendanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326528465005359200.post-89838063047628897312011-06-18T18:48:14.994-04:002011-06-18T18:48:14.994-04:00Oh Honey, no one responded.

The experts said that gyns make their money by doing surgery and that hysterectomy generates the most money. The attendees were encouraged to cultivate their patients carefully. Initial care would include advice on contraception, then it would move to pregnancy and delivery. Once the family was completed, the gyn should start planting the idea that his/her patient would one day need a hysterectomy. <br /><br />This is precisely why 22 million women in the U.S. have had a hysterectomy and why there's been no reduction in the hysterectomy rate. This is a culture that starts in medical school and being as lucrative as it is will be hard to change absent legislation.Mad as Hellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326528465005359200.post-45462687037198629992011-02-09T15:51:23.244-05:002011-02-09T15:51:23.244-05:00Forgot to mention -

She said that when she was the chief resident at Tufts, the saying was "There's no room in the tomb for the womb!" That should really be no surprise to any of us here. We know all too well how gyns will go to great lengths to rob us of our sex organs!<br /><br />Northrup also mentioned the Mayo study that showed increased risk of Parkinsonism in castrated women and said women should "hold on to their ovaries." At least she gave that word of warning BUT said NOTHING about hysterectomy or about all the other risks of sex organ removal. And, as we know, the medical mafia seems to have gotten to Dr. Oz because he was mum too except to joke that he'd be sure to hold on to his ovaries! <br /><br />Northrup also said that 1 in 3 women has their ovaries removed to prevent ovarian cancer and "she gets that." She "gets that?" I'm sure she's well aware that a woman's lifetime risk of OC is less than 2%. But of course she failed to inform the viewers of this important fact!Mad as Hellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326528465005359200.post-28625122648233329732011-01-08T17:41:19.653-05:002011-01-08T17:41:19.653-05:00To Anonymous Dated 1/4/2011:

I read the books listed above as well as other books and sought out a better doctor and learned I did not need surgery. I found an easy fix for my problem and it never returned thanks to the help of a reputable doctor. <br /><br />Please ask Nora for a trustworthy doctor referral. Please read the books listed above and educate yourself. Don't just follow the advise of someone with M.D. by their name. If I had followed the advise of a GYN, I too would have received a hysterectomy when I did not need one. It's sad to say, but for many GYN's, it's all about money.<br /><br />JacquelineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326528465005359200.post-62258336923799786162011-01-06T20:20:41.896-05:002011-01-06T20:20:41.896-05:00If you needed one for several years now and chose ...If you needed one for several years now and chose not to get one, why isn't your health suffering now after several years?

Educate yourself! I was almost fooled by one doctor's acting, but after I did my own research and got it confirmed by an ethical doctor, I spared my organs. Women need to start taking thier health into their own hands and not just go with the along with whatever a doctor says "because he is a doctor".<br /><br />The medical industry has become quite a money making business.

I spoke out at the end of the presentation about the adverse effects of hysterectomy and oophorectomy (castration) and that I doubted he (or the other two presenting doctors) would have their testicles removed. <br /><br />In order to warn other women, I posted a rating of Dr. Philpott on www.ratemds.com. Several days later, he flagged it for review and Ratemds removed it. <br /><br />It's troubling that those who have "inside" information about doctors can't post on these doctor rating websites if they aren't patients. A doctor's punctuality and friendliness of staff are trivial matters compared to the fact that he defies evidence based medicine by removing healthy organs thereby greatly increasing risk of all-cause mortality and destroying quality of life.Sh-t Disturbernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326528465005359200.post-3019318975075906932010-12-22T19:36:06.040-05:002010-12-22T19:36:06.040-05:00Have you done any resarch about fibroids and myome...Have you done any resarch about fibroids and myomectomies/hysterectomies in Copenhagen, Denmark?<br /><br />I am in my mid 40s, regularly ovulating and have regular 28-day menstrual periods and am veyr fertile, BUT have a large fibroid (25cmX18cmX12cm) because of all the estrogen I produce. I want ot have a baby and have not had the opportunity before now, in life. This fibroid has made me look pregnant BUT I do not want a hysterectomy. I keep saying that and writing that to the hospital but I fel no one is hearing me. I am terrified of being butchered, of waking up and being benignly told the lie that there was "no alternative" except to remove my uterus. I come from a family with women who have gotten pregnant in their 50s! I still hope to have a child and I do not want oto be robbed of the ability because I am considered by a male surgeon to be "old". I am afraid my right to have a child will be stolen.<br /><br />I know they have the ability to take the time to remove only the fibroid and suture my uterus. But I am afraid my desire for only an abdominal myomectomy is being dismissed as "stupid, unreasonable woman chatter"<br /><br />Have you heard anything about Denmark and how they handle women with large fibroids? I know in Bangalore, India (in 2010!) they are removing 8kg and 6kg fibroids from older women and leaving their uteruses intact. I am so afraid I will be robbed of my child-bearing ability in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is supposed to be a modern, advanced place for medicine. I am so afraid.

We need many more like you. Greed in the gynecology specialty is rampant and is rapidly spreading to other specialties. <br /><br />My gynecologist used the commonly used cancer scare tactics (ovarian) to get my "consent" for a hysterectomy and oophorectomy. After removing my one ovary with a cystadenoma and getting the results of the frozen section (benign), he then proceeded to remove my other (healthy) ovary and my healthy uterus with the help of two medical students.<br /><br />This was done by Dr. Richard Muckerman at St. John's Mercy Medical Center in St. Louis, MO. Dr. Muckerman is the son of a former St. John's Chief of OB/Gyn.<br /><br />Dr. Muckerman referred me to an oncologist and then failed to follow his recommendation to only remove the one ovary.
