Foreword by New York Times best-selling author Christiane Northrup, MD and endorsed by physicians from Harvard, Columbia, Northwestern, and other fine professionals.

Dr. Leslie Mendoza Temple, Family Medicine Instructor, Northwestern University Medical School, and Medical Director, Integrative Medicine NorthShore University HealthSystem says, “I am excited to see that you have studied and perfected a technique to treat adhesions, with years of experience, scientific ‘backup’ and case studies to prove it. This technique makes sense: to put ‘hands on’ the problem and nurture the body’s innate desire to heal from pelvic pain, hormonal imbalance, endometriosis, infertility, and related dysfunction. Read this book if you suffer from pelvic or digestive disorders, or if you are a doctor who sees patients with these problems.” Read more reviews from top physicians, authors, and other respected professionals.

Larry Wurn, Research Director of Clear Passage Therapies, discusses manual therapy (Wurn Technique) to treat abdominal adhesions and small bowel obstruction without surgery. In the video, a patient discusses her recurring battle with adhesions and bowel obstructions and how Clear Passage Therapies saved her.

Gainesville, FL, September 11, 2009 – ‘Miracle Moms’ co-authors Larry and Belinda Wurn, recognized leaders in non-surgical treatment for female infertility and chronic adhesion pain, launch www.miraclemoms.net. This new site is geared towards news and online social connections about subjects in their upcoming book, ‘Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain: A Remarkable Journey in Hands-on Healing for Infertility, Pain, Sexual Dysfunction, and Adhesions.’

According to the National Center for Health Statistics, an estimated six million women in the US experience infertility, and that number is growing. Ovulation problems account for a big part of female infertility; warning signs include irregular or absent menstruation. Adhesions and blocked fallopian tubes are also major causes of infertility. Fallopian tubes can become blocked by adhesions after surgery, trauma, infection, or inflammation.

Adhesions can form whenever the body heals from infection, inflammation, surgery or trauma. Pelvic and abdominal surgeries such as laparoscopy, C-section or D&C are primary causes of adhesions. Traumas such as auto accident, fall, or abuse also cause adhesions. Infection and inflammation (endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, or STD) can all cause adhesions to form in the bowel or female reproductive organs. As adhesions grow, they can restrict normal body function and cause pain and dysfunction, including nearly half of all female infertility.

The 9th right of Dr. Carolyn Demarco’s A Woman’s Bill of Rights states, “I have a right to refuse any drug or surgical treatment.”

In the highly individualized and independent culture of the United States, many people do not have difficulty stating exactly what they want or don’t want. But for women who face chronic pain or infertility, their refusal of drugs or surgical treatment may mean they are out of conventional treatment options. This can be a very scary situation for any woman.

Reese, a former CPT patient, experienced this situation after multiple surgeries for bowel obstructions. Reese learned from her doctor in 2008 that abdominal adhesions had grown back for the 7th time after. She would need another surgery to remove the adhesions that were slowly blocking her intestines. Reese told us, “I did NOT want to live this way, having surgery after surgery just to stay alive.” However, Reese didn’t know what else she could do.

She had previously heard of Clear Passage Therapies (CPT) and contacted us for more information. Belinda Wurn, who founded CPT and has also experienced bowel obstructions, called Reese. After a lengthy conversation, Reese decided to attend treatment. Out therapists worked meticulously to decrease adhesions in her abdomen and free her intestines. After treatment, Reese reported, “I could barely believe how much better I felt. I was no longer near tears in pain with each breath and step I took! I had a total of five bowel movements that night and the next morning. I was beside myself!”

Reese’s full story will be featured in our upcoming book, Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain, along with the stories of other women who refused drugs or surgery for bowel obstructions, chronic pain, infertility, endometriosis, and many other conditions. Choosing to forego drugs or surgical treatment can be scary, but there are other treatment options available that work.

Our upcoming book, Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain, will discuss how manual physical therapy can address a host of problems caused by adhesions. The book is divided into three sections: fertility, sexual dysfunction, and chronic pain. One of our main topics in the chronic pain section is post-surgical pain. In fact, we have so much to say about it that we have devoted an entire chapter to it!

We care deeply about this topic because the conventional cure for post-surgical pain is more surgery! Men and women deserve to know there is a treatment that can free them from an endless cycle of surgeries.

If a patient’s surgery was completed without complications, but the patient still finds themselves in pain after six months, adhesions are the likely culprit. In the post-surgical pain chapter, we discuss how and why adhesions form after surgery. We then explain how adhesions can draw previously mobile structures together, cause inflammation, create tension, and cause pain.

In the chapter, we also share the stories of patients who have had the awful experience of cyclical surgery. One such patient is Ginny, who had a bowel obstruction removed surgically. After the surgery, adhesions quickly formed again, causing more bowel obstructions, severe abdominal pain, and neck and back pain. Ginny told us, “I needed surgery to reduce the adhesions and relieve my pain, but the surgeries would cause more adhesions to form, necessitating more surgeries.” After eight surgeries, Ginny knew she needed to find a non-invasive way to remove adhesions. When she heard about our clinic, she started attending twice a week. Ginny reported, “Before long, I stopped experiencing pain n my bowels, neck and back. Things in life that most people take for granted, but that had been denied to me for so long slowly began to return. I can still remember the first day I was finally able to have a bowel movement without pain or laxatives.”

Our treatment, which focuses on removing adhesions with manual physical therapy techniques, has helped many people like Ginny. Ginny’s full story, along with the stories of 75 former CPT patients, will be featured in our book, Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain.
