Laser Ablation In Gynecology

Laser ablation is a good alternative to other types of ablation of uterus. Laser stands short for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. It has been discovered in the middle of the twentieth century and has quickly found its way to the various fields of medicine.

Lasers in Gynecology

Lasers produce a hot, precisely focused beam of light, which can remove or vaporize tissue and control bleeding. They are so focused that are somethimes called the "scalpels of light". They can cut and destroy tissues, shrink tumours or lesions, and seal (cauterize) blood vessels to prevent excessive bleeding. In gynecology, lasers are most frequently used for

Regulation of heavy bleeding (click here for general introduction to endometrial ablation)

Cancerous or non-cancerous tumors that cannot be removed or destroyed

Ectopic pregnancy (development of a fertilized egg outside the uterus)

Endometriosis

Fibroid tumors

Ovarian cysts

Reiki -- The Universal Life Energy Forever with You

Reiki is the "Universal Life Energy". It was discovered in the 1920's by Mikao Usui of Japan. Up to 1980, it was hidden, and then it started proliferating throughout the world. Today there are millions of people initiated into it and it seems nothing can stop this trend now.

Being attuned to Reiki gives you instant energy literally whenever you think about it. The energy usually manifests itself as "warm hands", since the hands of the healer usually warm up quite fast and then radiate heat. Actually, when you take the hands off of the body, this "heat" looks like a breeze of a spring wind -- fresh and mild, but definitively there.

How To Get Reiki

You get it through a process of initiation, or more precisely, through an attunement. Being attuned means that your body field, the flow of your energy, is being permanently changed so that you are in contact with this "cloud" of energy out there. Many people like to call this God, higher energy etc. but there really is no need to define it. It is quite sufficient that it exists and that you can link to it.

How Reiki Manifests Itself

Although the most common manifestation of Reiki being transmitted is warm hands, it need not always be the case. Sometimes the therapeut will not feel anything, while the recipient feels the energy as very hot, and sometimes none of the participants feels anything. It is very similar with attunements. Sometimes, the person being attuned will feel it strongly. Re-occurences of past lives may also happen. Sometimes, just nothing happens -- and all of it is OK. The fact that the energy is not being felt, does not mean it was not trasferred -- probably it was transmitted at higher levels that we can feel.

What Can You Send Reiki To

You may give Reiki to yourself or to others. With Level II, you will be able to transcend space and time, i.e. to send it to the people who are not with you. Attunements can also be done long distance. Once you are initiated, it is only your intent that matters: with Reiki, energy follows your thought. If you send it to your womb or ovaries for example, that organ will feel it and benefit from it. You can also send it to a situation, wish or an affirmation. An example of such a wish could be:

Reiki Distance Healing Can Influence Your Destiny

With Reiki distance healing we understand how Reiki is Universal Life Energy and that it really is not from this three-dimensional world. Its origins escape us but we can use it, transmit it and heal with it. In 4D, there is no space and time, just light and energy; everything is simultaneous. Therefore, Reiki can be directed through space and time, and the intention is all that is needed, once one is initiated (attuned) into Reiki.

The Three Symbols of Reiki Level II

Technically, in Second Degree od Usui Reiki (the classical Reiki that almost everyone starts out with), you get three symbols:

-- the power symbol,

-- the mental/emotional symbol, and

-- the distant healing symbol.

These symbols are also known as the first, second, and the third symbol of Reiki. It is through this third symbol that you actually get the ability to send Reiki through time and space. More Reiki means better healing, and it need not only be directed towards the patients, it is possible to send Reiki to situations and affirmations. Reiki then works it all out, towards the best possible outcome for all. The "best possible" outcome may not be exactly the one that you have imagined beforhand, so don't use Reiki in this way if you are not thoroughly prepared.

How to Send Reiki Distance Healing

Intent is the only thing that matters. You can send Reiki mentally, entirely without any "witness" or representant of the person that you send Reiki to. So, envoke the third symbol, fix the intent in your mind, and start sending Reiki. You may use the following affirmation:

I will send Reiki to avoid hysterectomy, if that is for my highest good.

Technically speaking, the third symbol is the only one needed, but it is only natural to back it up with the first symbol, then make it penetrate all the levels of reality with the fourth symbol, to finally balance all the issues with the second symbol.

Proxies for Reiki Distance Healing

Most people still need some kind of material object to represent the person to whom Reiki is directed. Here are some variations for Reiki distance healing:

Reiki Treatment in Person

Reiki Treatment in Person: "Reiki Treatment in Person
The classic Reiki treatment in person requires a meeting to be scheduled for the precise time and place. Either the patient will come to the practitioner's office, or the practitioner will come to the patient's home. The requirements for a successful session usually are:

-- eliminate all distractions such as TV, loud conversations, kids presence, phones, strong lights etc);
-- dress ligthly, preferably in leisure clothes since you will be quite relaxed during the treatment;
-- feet are usually bare or with only socks on;
-- you may cover yourself with a blanket during the session, to keep the body warm.

You need not undress, nor will there be need for the practitioner's hands to touch your skin. In some respects, Reiki treatment is similar to a massage session, while in other respects, it is totally different.
The practitioner may and should ask you how to go about the sensitive parts of your body -- the breasts, the genitals, the throat, the nose. The session will be just as successful in case the hands hover over those parts.
You can listen to some music, perhaps one of those New Age modern instrumentals with extravagant titles such as Partner Massage Air, Reiki, Aquariues etc. If the music is distracting, shut it down.

Treatments in Your Home

If the therapist comes to your house for the treatment, try to eliminate all distractions and reserve at least one hour for the session. Ideally, you should receive Reiki in the bed, and that may pose a problem for the therapist. He or she may strain their backs if they have to reach out for too long. If the position is awkward for the practitioner, the patient may be sitting in a large and comfortable chair; the therapist then stands behind the chair and can endure the whole treatment that way.

You can fall asleep during a Reiki healing session and it is a fairly common occurence. Reiki relaxes deeply, which can also be manifested as emotional outlets, crying, sobbing, sadness because of events from long ago... It is a part of the healing and cannot be avoided: Reiki goes where it needs to go, and if the cause of the problem is in the emotional sphere, there can be a spontaneous release of emotions.

Astrology Reading, What It Is, What to Expect

Astrology reading is a meeting in which two persons are involved, the astrologer and the client. The astrologer can be a friend, a beginner in astrology, an old hand, a professional astrologer -- it all depends on the circumstances. The client is curious about the future, has his or hers wishes and projections about it, and would very much like to see how it all will unfold.

It is essential that the client seeks the astrologer out of his or her own will. The astrologer has to be active in marketing (if he wants to do it professionally), but passive when it comes to the first contact. It is a grave mistake both for the astrologer and the client if the astrologer forces the astrology reading upon the client. It never works out because the client must be open to the astrologer, must first decide to believe him or her. When they believe, they are on the same frequences as the astrolger, who then gains access to the inner workings of the clients psyche. It is a great privilege and great responsibility when one is chosen to delineate the client's chart!

What the Client Lives Through Before Calling Upon an Astrologer

In the Western world at least, astrology is still frowned upon and too many people don't take it for serious. So the potential client has his problems, lives with them, is being bugged by them, until he finally realises that he cannot solve them on his own. Then he starts searching for the answer first in the nearest circles of family, then friends, then coleagues, then mass media stars, then politicians, then the Internet... Only in the end of that process does he calls up to schedule an astrology reading, conscious that he is desperate and that any help is good, even if coming from an astrologer. (Many clients come with a certain amount of guilt, furious at the world in which no one wants to help them or even care.)

In the East, especially in India, China, and Japan, astrologers are and have always been held in high regard, and people call upon them freely and routinely.

How the Client Uses the Information Gained From the Astrology Reading

In any case, the client is ready for a change of his or her life, and the astrologer is there to make the path wider and more secure. The client is on a crossroad and the astrologer helps him to choose the right direction. In the end, it is the client who decides what will he do with his life and not the astrologer. The astrologer materialises an otherwise invisible grid of energies which will become accessible only in the future. After the astrology reading session, the client will be able to recognize the signs of change in advance, and has his own free will to accept the change, or deny it. In some cases, he will say to himself:

Ah, this what the astrologer mentioned two years ago, and I choose to wait this out.

Or, he could decide

I shall act now in order to avoid...

Whatever the client decides, it will be his or her own co-created destiny, and the role of the astrologer is to make a short report of things to come in the client's life, no more and no less. Actually, all the astrologer produces is information, but because of the special circumstances that precede an astrological reading, that information has the power to change the life of the client. All the circumstances must be exactly right if the reading is to have that life changing effect that everybody is intimately longing for when calling up for an astrologer's help.

Some Usual and Some Very Unusual Questions During an Astrology Reading

During an astrology reading session, all kinds of questions are possible. For five minutes, it is about moving to another town, for the next twenty minutes, it is about health, and so on. If the client is very ill, say, ill enough to be threatened by histerectomy or some other kind of surgery, then most of the session will be spent on matters of health, and on deciding which methods of curing and healing would work best in the immediate future. In such cases, the astrologer should reach out for the methods of medical astrology.

Here is a sample of questions that clients asked me in provate astrology readings or in my live TV show "The Night with the Astrologer", which went on from June 2002 to April 2004. Read it, it's a long list and I am sure you will find yourself in one or more of the questions posed:

I would like to take a loan for a new house. Should I do that and if yes, when?

My own sister is suing me over the apartment that we inherited from our father. I am broken, physically and mentally, should I try to make an agreement with her or not?

I've noticed this small lump on my breast and went straight to the doctor. She gave me something, told me to come back within ten days, I did, and now it really seems OK. Is it really so?

My doctor told me I need hysterectomy for my fibroids. What else can I do?

Should I go for another radiology session or not?

I have just lost my job. When can I expect to get another job again?

I am a pharmacist and my doughter would like to study it too. Should I let her?

When shall I get married? And to whom?

When shall I get divorced? Will I get his money after divorce?

Where should my son go to study piano?

I am 33 and I have never had sex in my life. Why is that so? (This question was posed during my "Night with the Astrologer" live TV show. Imagine this question in front of several hundred thousand live spectators!)

My only daughter went away with a men much older then herself to India. I have received one letter in 1991 from her, saying how everything was good for her, then nothing up to now. What happened to her? (This was a question also in the TV show, live, in 2003. The answer was: she died while passing a high mountain passage, from snow and cold.)

I'm a nurse, retired, and I see that in Italy they are now searching for help in senior citizens homes. Should I apply and if I do, how will it turn out?

You've told us to make love only when we feel like it, and really, I got pregnant in the first month of our marriage. Now my husband has started a new business, but nothing has happened as yet. Can we see you as soon as possible?

We are married for eight years by now and no children. We tried everything, but nothing worked for us. What can astrology say for our case?

My first husband was 24 years older than me, we lived fine but he died. Now I am interested in this single man who is only 18 years older than me. Shall I succeed in marrying him?

We have no children and we would like to try IVF. When would be the earliest convenient date?

The doctor insists that I have a total hysterectomy. Should I do it?

Can Endometrial Ablation Replace Hysterectomy in Cases of Heavy Menorrhagia?

Endometrial ablation (sometimes misspelled as "oblation") is the technique to stop heavy bleeding during the period. Normal loss of blood during the period is around 25 ml, and anything above 80 ml is too large. Besides anemia and the problems it can bring you, losing so much blood may make your life unbearable. Many women describe this not as having a period but as downright hemorrhaging. It is difficult to live when you cannot sleep, cannot move because of blood, cannot go to work for several days or even for a whole week.

Nature expects you to get pregnant every month. Your body gets ready for that and if the pregnancy does not happen, as is usually the case, the overgrowing endometrium is torn away and goes out. Often it will be painful as well, but that may not be such a big problem. At least, there are ways to fake or relieve pain, but if the abnormal bleeding persists, what is the woman to do? Up to 10 or 15 years ago, hysterectomy was the only solution. Today, there are many means to execute ablation, for instance:

-- Laser ablation
-- Thermal ablation
-- Novasure endometrial ablation
-- Hydrothermal ablation
-- Electrosurgical Technique (Roller Ball or Barrel)
-- Endometrial Resection
-- Radio frequency ablation
-- Baloon ablation
-- Microwave endometrial ablation
-- Cryo ablation

Endometrium is the innermost layer of uterus and if it can be removed, most of the mestrual bleeding should stop. That is the idea behind endometrial ablation -- remove the endometrium, leave the rest of the uterus intact and let the life merrily roll on!

In the beginning, in the 1990's, the ginecologists expected to end all the excessive bleeding in this way, actually, to introduce the patient into the state of amenorrhea. In practice, after ablation, you still get periods, but light or almost non-existant (that would be the best case scenario). The worst case scenario is when you have adenomyosis in the uterus, meaning the lining grows deeply into the muscle of the uterus. Ablation cannot go that deeply, so even after endometrial ablation, some of the lining is still there. That may cause the problems to continue, all up to the full hysterectomy. In some cases, women opt for a repetead ablation.

Cryo Ablation

http://www.how-to-avoid-hysterectomy.com/cryo-ablation.html

Ablation is the process of getting rid of a part of surface, and cryo ablation is using low temperatures for the ablation. Cryo ablation for avoiding hysterectomy (sometimes misspelled as: cryo oblation, cryoablation, cryo-ablation) is the procedure of exterminating the endometrium of the uterus by means of a cryo procedure -- by inducing coldness in the womb.

The idea in itself is not new: dermatologists and primary care doctors have used cryogenic devices since the beginning of the 20th century to treat warts, pre-cancerous and malignant lesions.

The Main Advantages of Cryo Ablation

It is minimally invasive with minimal post-operative discomfort.

Very rapid recovery.

Minimal complication rate.

Is as effective as either modalities.

Can be repeated if the conditions warrant it...

The cryogenic corruption probe is officialy approved by the FDA.
