Dr. Jacques Moritz, Director of Endoscopy Section and Division of Gynecology, St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center says, “As a gynecological surgeon I have seen first hand what happens after I operate on patients. As much as I try to prevent adhesions I know that most patients after surgery are going to develop some form of adhesive disease. In the past treatment for adhesions has been even more surgery which caused even more adhesions. Now with the amazing “Clear Passage” technique patients have a safe and effective alternative to surgery. ”

“Miracle Moms” Authors Launch Social Media and News Website – Offers Hope to Six Million Women Suffering from Infertility

September 11, 2009 Amy Parker 2 comments

The authors of ‘Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain’ prepare for their September 15 book publication and announce the launch of their social media and news site on adhesions, infertility, sexual dysfunction, and pain.

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.

Catch the Women’s Health Revolution of the 21st Century

Gainesville, FL (PRWEB) September 2, 2009 — Adhesions are a leading cause of female infertility, pain, and sexual dysfunction. Many women have avoided surgery for these conditions by using a ‘hands-on’ physical therapy, with proven scientific results.

In the upcoming book ‘Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain,’ research gynecologist Richard King, MD joins Belinda and Larry Wurn to share a 20-year medical journey examining a physical therapy treatment to help patients achieve goals of pregnancy, better sex, and a pain-free life. Born from Belinda’s debilitating adhesion pain after cancer surgery, ‘Miracle Moms’ is a pioneering work.

Endorsed by Christiane Northrup, MD, ‘New York Times’ best-selling author (who wrote the Foreword) and physicians from Harvard, Columbia, Northwestern, and other fine medical schools, this book promises to usher in a women’s health revolution for the 21st century.

“A heartfelt thank you for providing women all over the world with such a safe, natural, and effective therapy to enhance fertility and pelvic health. Your work is a Godsend,” says Dr. Northrup.

With over 700 pages, ‘Miracle Moms’ is an elegant combination of more than 80 heart-felt patient narratives, and 20 years of theory, development, treatment, and published scientific research. More than 100 original illustrations provide a visual journey into the body and help explain how adhesions cause problems for so many patients and doctors, and why the unique manual therapy (Wurn Technique) was successful for so many women who were diagnosed “beyond help” by their physicians – until this therapy fulfilled their dreams.

The authors have published studies in some of the most respected peer-reviewed medical journals in the US. Studies in ‘Medscape General Medicine’ (2004) and ‘Fertility and Sterility’ (2006) showed that the therapy improved female fertility and decreased or eliminated endometriosis pain and intercourse pain in most participants. A major study in ‘Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine’ (2008) showed that the therapy opened totally blocked fallopian tubes in women who had been diagnosed infertile – a feat previously thought impossible. Most had natural pregnancies after their tube(s) opened. The therapy also provides hope for people with post-surgical pain and life-threatening bowel obstructions – common occurrences after surgery.

‘Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain’ will be published September 15, 2009 and available in bookstores for $29.95. www.miraclemoms.net

Providing Hope for Women with Unexplained Infertility

February 22, 2009 Jackie No comments

“The mystery of unexplained infertility is truly no mystery. There is always a cause; discovering the cause is the challenge.” – Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain

The new book, Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain, seeks to demystify health conditions considered “unexplained” or “untreatable.” Authors Belinda and Larry Wurn devote an entire chapter of the book to unexplained infertility. They believe that when no known cause for infertility can be found, adhesions are the likely culprit.

Adhesions are composed of tiny strands of collagen. If the body is injured, collagen rushes to the area to help contain and repair the site. As the strands of collagen continue to build, they form adhesions. While helpful, these adhesions can also attach to neighboring structures, constrict organs and structures, and impair proper function in many ways.

Adhesions in the pelvic cavity

Adhesions can form after a variety of common life events – so common that many women would never consider them as a probable cause for their infertility. Common events include bladder infections, yeast infections, inflammation of any kind, car accidents, falls, surgery, etc. When these events occur in or near the reproductive tract, pelvis, or abdomen, adhesions can constrict the area and prevent proper function. The sensitive structures of the reproductive system can easily become restrained, pulled, or adhered – leading to infertility.

The Wurns and other Clear Passage Therapies (CPT) therapists treat unexplained infertility by addressing adhesions. When a woman attends CPT for treatment of unexplained infertility, the therapists design an individualized treatment plan based on the patient’s medical history and a thorough physical evaluation. During the evaluation, therapists examine the patient’s body for signs of adhesion formation, including areas of pain, tension, immobility, imbalance, and malfunction.

Once the therapists have identified areas of adhesion formation, they use manual physical therapy techniques (collectively known as the Wurn Technique ®) to detach, deform, and disfigure these adhesions. The Wurn Technique ® enables proper mobility and function to be restored, thus decreasing pain, increasing function, and improving fertility.

In Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain, over nine women with unexplained infertility share their journeys through infertility and how they eventually became pregnant with manual physical therapy. To learn more about manual physical therapy and fertility, please visit our female infertility or unexplained infertility pages.

Miracle Moms Highlight: Medical Illustrator Joanna Culley

February 4, 2009 Jackie No comments

By Jackie

Belinda and Larry Wurn’s upcoming book Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain contains over 700 pages of educational text about numerous medical conditions including blocked fallopian tubes, chronic headaches, hormonal infertility, pelvic pain, and sexual dysfunction. The Wurns knew from the start they would need a medical illustrator to help visualize and explain the important role of adhesions in these conditions. But they were struck with one question: How could they find an illustrator with multi-faceted talent to create images in multiple mediums, medical expertise in multiple areas of the body, a genuine spirit of teamwork, and sensitivity to draw the female reproductive system in an accurate, yet feminine way?

Thankfully, the Wurns found medical illustrator Joanna Culley. Joanna, an honors graduate of Middlesex University in London, already had extensive experience with male and female anatomy. With a degree in Scientific and Medical illustration, Joanna’s portfolio of work showcased the delicate nature, attention to detail, and medical accuracy that the Wurns were seeking.

Joanna became an addition to the Clear Passage Team in April of 2008. Because the Wurns’ treatment is completely unique and relies on adhesions that are largely overlooked by physicians, there are very few medical photographs, images, or texts to reference. Joanna had to take the conceptual and written explanations provided by the Wurns and translate them into beautiful and enlightening images. Joanna used her numerous skills to capture the difficult images the Wurns requested. Joanna explains, “Creating interesting and clear drawings in just black and white was very difficult, which is why eventually I used a mixture of traditional ink and digital work.”

As the editor of the book, I was intimately familiar with the text of the book. It was incredible to see Joanna bring the words to life through her images. I was also a part of the image review and revisions process. As we edited the text and cut, moved, and added entire paragraphs and chapters, our need and specification for images would change. Many times, we had to ask Joanna to change or adapt an image based on our new needs. Every time, she promptly and beautifully made the changes we requested. We believe her stunning work is directly tied to her evident passion for medical anatomy. She told us, “I love the subject of anatomy, I have regular anatomy lessons and although it is a lifetime of learning, the subject never ceases the amaze me.”

Thanks to Joanna’s diligent work, passion, and talents, the book now contains over 100 didactic images. The Wurns, Clear Passage Team, and I are indebted to Joanna for her wonderful work that truly brings Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain to a whole new level. New images and some variations of images in the book will be showcased on the female infertility, sexual dysfunction, and chronic pain pages of our website in upcoming months.

Joanna remains committed to enhancing her skills and will become a Registered Medical Illustration Practitioner after completion of her post graduate degree in April of 2009. Joanna also recently won the Ronal Raven Bequest Award, which allows her to travel from the UK to the US to study one-on-one with a medical legal artist. To see more of Joanna’s work, please visit her website at www.medical-artist.com.
