Shall we listen to our doctors on our health issues? Yes and No. I firmly believe that the key to our health is in our own hands. We need to take control, educate ourselves, evaluate all the options, and then make conscious decisions. We should not follow doctor’s advices blindly. I have observed countless cases to prove my point including my own experiences. 

The following is a case report about a narrowly missed bladder surgery.

Here are three emails from Sheila, a former colleague.

March 5, 2008:  “My mother (78) never told me she had stress urinary incontinence. I only found out when she told me she faced bladder surgery which would lay her up for 3 weeks and might not even work. I did research about Better WOMAN and downloaded the testimonial, FAQ and home page from your web site and mailed them to my mother. I was glad that my mother was very willing to try it and I got her 6 bottles.”

May30, 2008: “My mother is halfway through her 4th bottle. She’s not sure. She thinks there’s a subtle but not quite consistent improvement. Sometimes there seems to be less urge over a longer time but not always. She’s sticking with it. She decided definitely not to have bladder surgery no matter what. Her urologist looked at the bottle she brought and was very skeptical but said he knows nothing about herbs. She didn’t let that sway her, except away from non-essential surgery.”

June 15, 2008  “I found out today my mother already placed her second order and she’s definitely improved, she’s less panicked about making it to a bathroom and life is easier.”

What would happen if Sheila and her mother did not do their home work? We have heard from women who have gone through SEVEN bladder surgeries and are still leaking. 

The key is to take control, do your own research, make conscious decisions after evaluating all options, no matter what kind of health issues you are facing.
