Crystal Healing

Crystal Healing With Real Crystals

If you have crystals, you can apply them as healing tools. It would more than suffice to have only quartz crystals, because you can "tell" them that they can act as if crystals of any other color. But, if you have any other crystal, from amethyst to charoit to agate to rodonite to amber to... all of that can be very useful.

The most obvious way of using crystals is to put them on certain parts of the body. If the color of the crystal matches the color of the nearby chakra, so much the better. Crystals are known to balance the chakras of their own color, and once the chakras are balanced, any other healing will be more successful.

You can also put the crystals near you. There are different patterns -- the star of David, the double star of David, the circle etc. and you should experiment to see what is best in your situation. In certain cases, this means you should have 12 crystals around the body. Again, quartz is the cheapest and most readily available; and for some crystal healers, it is not the best but the only kind of crystals needed for healing.

After you put the crystals around you, lie down and be still. You should clearly feel the energies of the crystals working and after 15 or more minutes, the shift in your energies should be noticeable.

For problems of uro-genital system, the main chakras responsible would be the first and the second chakras, although it pays to have all the chakras balanced -- it really is the minimum for health, you know.

Endometriosis in the Natal Chart

How does one see endometriosis in the natal chart? It always is a combination of factors, we have to look at the position of the Moon, and if it is weak, say in Capricorn or in Scorpio, and in houses of illness (Nos. 6, 8, and 12) and in bad aspects, then we can talk about problematic reproductive health. If the 4th house is somehow involved, then the endometriosis will be genetical in nature, and you will probably need a thorough homeopathic treatment to stop the endo from coming back.

Anyhow, on this page about Endometriosis in the Natal Chart, you will see how a professional medical astrologer Dusko Savic goes on about his work, how every little detail is explored and put up as a piece of a larger puzzle.

Alternatives To Hysterectomy

There are many alternatives to hysterectomy, and it all boils down to selecting some other surgical procedure, or to finding out some other way of healing.

Surgical Alternatives To Hysterectomy

If you want to preserve fertility and you have a case of uterine fibroids (myoma), go for myomectomy.

If childbearing is not important any more, you can opt for endometrial ablation, which destroys endometrium, the inner layer of the uterus, but preserves the rest of the uterus intact.

A relatively new method of avoiding hysterectomy is uterine artery embolization, often shorthened as UAE. Tiny particles are injected into the uterine arteries and fibroids connected to that artery lose food. The result is that the fibroids shrink and the symptoms disappear.

One way to avoid hysterectomy is to use uterine balloon therapy, in which a balloon is inserted into the uterus and the endometrium, the inner lining of the uterus is destroyed. The entire method belongs to a family of methods called endometrial ablation so it pays to study them and see whether you are a candidate for one of these surgical alternatives to hysterectomy.

Adhesiolysis is cutting adhesions, tissue that binds otherwise separated pelvic organs. About 20% of women have problems because of such adhesions, which arise from an injury such as previous pelvic or abdominal surgery, infections, endometriosis, cancer or radiation therapy, intra-abdominal trauma, say from ectopic pregnancy, appendicitis etc.

Laparoscopic Supracervical Hysterectomy Video

This laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy video shows a successful outcome for Melanie Parker, who was "up and running" only two weeks after the laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy. She had fibroids in an enlarged uterus, lots of cramping, heavy bleeding, always had to to be near the bathroom... a severly diminished lifestyle!

The surgeons made a tiny incision and entered laparoscopic instruments to be able to see the inside organs. The surgeons very delicately worked around surrounding organs, separating the bladder, lifting up the uterus, separating the ovaries and the Fallopian tubes, and the cervix. Having cut out the blood supply, the only thing that remained to be done is to take the uterus out. In the very end, they used an instrument called the morcellator to take out the uterus (the procedure itself is called morcellation).

The morcellator is a hollow tube with blades in the end. It cuts the uterus into long, thin stripes, and that is how the uterus, even when it is five times bigger than its normal size, can be taken out through a 1.5 cm excision.

One of the advantages of laparoscopic surgery is that incisions are smaller, and are closed with a glue; in contrast to that, classical open stomach hysterectomy is centimeres larger and closed with staples. Also, the cervix is preserved ("supracervical" can be roughly translated as "above the cervix", since only those parts of the uterus are cut away), which will later prevent the vagina from prolapsing and will enable better sex, or no pain during penetration throughout the intercourse.

Laparoscopic hysterectomy is fast becoming the de facto standard way of performing a hysterectomy, unles the woman has a bigger problem, such as cancer.

The surgeons in this laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy video were David Kmak M.D. and Paul Makela M.D. of WSU School of Medicine, filmed at Hutzel's Woman Hospital.

Second Vaginal Hysterectomy Video

This second vaginal hysterectomy video (second on this site, that is) shows various phases of removing the uterus from the body of an old lady. If anybody out there thought hysterectomy were picnic, let them watch this short but bloody video and see what this is all about.

Vaginal hysterectomy requires that vagina be stretched and kept open by special instruments. The advantage is that no external incisions are made. There is one internal incision at the top of the vagina around the cervix. As the result, the vagina may be shorthened, which can have repercussions on the sex life later.

As this short video shows, the uterus and cervix are cut from their supporting ligaments and surrounding tissue, and then the connecting blood vessels are tied off. The next phase would be removing the uterus and cervix through the vagina (not shown on this video), which is then closed to prevent infection and to keep the intestines from dropping downward.

The video is 1:15 minutes long.

You can see a list of about two dozen hysterectomy videos, here.

Personal Healing Plan for Endometriosis

Personal healing plan for endometriosis is just that, a personal plan made for one specific woman who battles endo her entire life.

The woman in question has backache practically all her life, with each and every menstruation. 18 years ago she had laser ablation of the uterus. The pain subsided for two years, then gradually began to return, and now is debilitaiting. For pain, she was given Percocet, why she was still young, and sometimes it worked, sometimes it did not. In her mid-thirthies, she was given injections of Lupron, because the doctor was hoping to bring her into an early menopause. There was no pain during those six months, but as soon as the injections stopped, all the problems came back.

For years after that she was taking the pill in order to sedate the pain, and it was working to an extent. A few months ago, the doctor took her off the pill, and ever since then the back pain is making her miserable. For instance, she cannot sleep for two days and nights in a row, that's how the pain is acute.

In conjunction to all that, she works at home but leads a very stressful life, with no letup for the past three years.

Based on her natal chart, I have createa therapy that is bound to help her, read more about it on this page:

http://www.how-to-avoid-hysterectomy.com/personal-healing-plan-for-endometriosis.html

I have also made an Amazon.com store to make it easy for her to buy the remedies needed:

Finally, I have sent her to this page

to get free Reiki distance healing session. (You can get it too, if you go there.)

If you want a specially tailored endometriosis treatment for yourself, ask me about it.
