“Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain” Book Now Available, Offers Healing and Hope for Six Million Infertile Women
‘Miracle Moms’ is a pioneering work built on 20 years of research and includes 80 case study success stories. It has received high praise from nationally respected physicians, including Christiane Northrup, MD, Ob/Gyn, who says, “Your work is a Godsend.”
Gainesville, FL (PRWEB) September 15, 2009 – Med-Art Press announces the official publication of ‘Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain.’ In this pioneering work, research gynecologist Richard King, MD joins physical therapist Belinda Wurn and her husband Larry to help patients avoid surgery for adhesion-related conditions causing female infertility, pain, and sexual dysfunction. www.miraclemoms.net (Order Book)
With over 700 pages, ‘Miracle Moms’ is an elegant combination of more than 80 heart-felt patient narratives, and 20 years of remarkable discovery and development of a ‘hands-on’ physical therapy, backed by published scientific research.
More than 100 original illustrations provide a visual journey into the body. The book explains why adhesions cause problems for millions of patients and their 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.
Top rated experts and physicians on these subjects are raving about this novel approach to women’s health.
Christiane Northrup, MD, Ob/Gyn and ‘New York Times’ best-selling author (who wrote the Foreword) says “Your work is a Godsend… a safe, natural, and effective therapy to enhance fertility and pelvic health.”
Harvard Medical School Instructor Dr. Lisa Conboy says, “Miracle Moms reads like a novel, rich in information…useful for people with pain or dysfunction. The use of patient narratives makes the therapy more understandable for health professionals and potential patients.”
Dr. Howard T. Sharp, President of the International Pelvic Pain Society says, “Patients with chronic pelvic pain should not ignore the value of manipulation therapy. This book illustrates this point beautifully with both medical detail and emotion. Women who suffer from chronic pelvic pain will benefit greatly by reading this book, not only from the hope it exudes, but from the therapy it describes.”
Medical Directors recommend this book for patients and for healthcare professionals. Dr. Melinda Ring of the Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine, and Medical Director of Chicago’s Center for Integrative Medicine and Wellness says, “Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain will bring awareness and hope to legions of women suffering from pelvic pain and infertility disorders. With clear explanations, research studies and patient narratives this book brings a formerly ‘taboo’ topic front and center, opening the door for greater healing and quality of life. I recommend this to both patients and women’s health specialists alike.”
Others tout the emotional aspects of the 20-year journey of discovery. Julia Indichova, Director of the Fertile Heart Studio, and Author of ‘Inconceivable’ and ‘The Fertile Female’ said “The love story of Belinda and Larry Wurn, and the birth of the stunning Wurn Technique reveals beyond any doubt, that when we approach the body with reverence, intelligence and a desire to reduce suffering, we can repair what the most sophisticated technologies fail to fix. Read it and learn what a pair of skilled, listening hands can do.”

Adhesions and Surgery: New Book, “Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain,” Examines Breaking the Endless Cycle of Pain
Post-surgical adhesions can cause chronic pain and dysfunction if left untreated. In the new book ‘Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain,’ researchers examine a non-surgical therapy developed to treat adhesions.

Gainesville, FL (PRWEB ) –Surgeries save lives, but they often create glue-like adhesions as the body heals from surgery. Post-surgical adhesions can cause pain and even life-threatening problems, such as bowels that become blocked and lose their function.
In the new book, ‘Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain,’ researchers examine a non-surgical therapy (Wurn Technique) that has decreased or eliminated adhesions in many patients, including abdominal adhesions and post- surgical adhesions.
Many pelvic and abdominal surgeries require repeat surgery – to remove the adhesions that formed from the earlier surgery. Abdominal adhesions occur in over 90% of patients after major abdominal surgery and pelvic adhesions occur in 55-100% of women who undergo pelvic surgery, according to a study in the journal ‘Digestive Surgery’ (2001). In a large study published in ‘Lancet’ (1999), over a third of patients who underwent major abdominal or pelvic surgery were re-hospitalized at least twice to treat adhesion related conditions.
The Wurn Technique® was created to treat the adhesions physical therapist Belinda Wurn developed after pelvic surgery. “I had double-over pain,” she said. “I could not work or stand up straight. It hurt to sit and even to breathe; the pain was always there.”
Wurn did not want to undergo a repeat surgery, knowing that more adhesions would likely form. Her husband, Larry Wurn, joined her in a search for a ‘hands-on’ answer. “We basically searched the world for an answer,” he said. “Each new piece we learned brought us that much closer to a cure.”
The Wurns have now published several studies on the manual physical therapy in peer-reviewed medical journals.
“Our biggest surprise was the variety of conditions that responded well to the therapy,” Belinda said. “Post-surgical pain patients responded well – then, we started seeing improvements in infertile women. When the therapy opened blocked fallopian tubes, we named our clinic Clear Passage Therapies.”
Studies in ‘Medscape General Medicine’ (2004) and ‘Fertility and Sterility’ (2006) showed that the therapy improved fertility and decreased or eliminated endometriosis and intercourse pain in most participants. In a study from ‘Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine’ (2008) the therapy opened blocked fallopian tubes in women who had been diagnosed infertile. Most had natural pregnancies after their tube(s) opened, and several had second natural pregnancies – indicating that the results of therapy lasted for years for some women.
‘Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain’ by Larry and Belinda Wurn with research gynecologist, Richard King, MD, is available now at amazon.com.

longer experienced pain from my endometriosis.”

“We got pregnant naturally the next month with our first redheaded miracle.” Jen’s Story

Hormonal Menopause, Only Remaining Tube Blocked with Hydrosalpinx
- Jen’s Story
I’ve always been a healthy, positive person with big dreams. I knew some day I would meet that special someone and start a family.
From an early age, I always knew I wanted children. I come from a long line of fertility. My grandmother gave birth to 15 children, my mother 4, and my brothers and sister have 7 more kids among them, who I love dearly and who are a big part of my life. My love of children even drew me to my occupation as an early learning Spanish teacher working with the cutest little students ages three to eight.
When I was 26, a misdiagnosed appendicitis left me hospitalized for a week with an infection. I recovered from the ruptured appendix, but 15 months later I was hospitalized again and had another major abdominal surgery. It almost took my life and left me trying to figure out if I would ever have children.
I lost my right ovary, fallopian tube, and parts of my intestine to surgery. My remaining left tube was damaged. The medical diagnosis was that it was blocked and filled with fluid, a hydrosalpinx.
The doctors said that I had so much infection and disease that my ovary and tube weren’t even recognizable. It was mush. They said I was going to have a lot of scar tissue and adhesions, leaving my insides “like concrete.”
I was confused and afraid and while I was thankful to be alive, I had to ask the doctors a simple question. “Will I ever be able to have kids?” His answer was, “Not naturally. It would have to be through IVF. You’re young and healthy and you have your left ovary.”
Now flash forward, I’ve met the man of my dreams, we’re in a financial position to afford IVF and excited to start our family. Everyone advised me to get started with IVF early, since there can always be complications and it takes longer than you think. My biological clock was ticking and I wanted to have several shots at this before I turned 35.
While IVF wasn’t exactly what I had planned when I dreamed of getting pregnant, with all the shots, hormones, and invasive procedures, I was thankful for all the progress in the field because for me, it was the only way for me to get pregnant.
At our first consultation the doctor told me I would be a good candidate as long as I had high quality eggs. She also recommended that before we do IVF, we should remove my remaining unhealthy tube because it had a hydrosalpinx — it was blocked with fluid that could be toxic to the embryo. I thought sure, whatever it takes because this is my only chance and every single doctor I asked said the same thing — that there was no way to repair my damaged tube. So according to all medical sources I checked, IVF would be my only chance, and I had to remove my only tube, which was beyond repair.
First I had to do blood work, and then we could get on with it. Another devastating blow came when our nurse called and said my hormone levels of FSH (which helps the egg mature) was abnormal. The normal and acceptable range is between 2 to 10. Mine was 26.2, indicating that my body wasn’t producing quality eggs. In fact, I was officially diagnosed as menopausal. I was newly married and ready to start a family and our doctor was telling my husband and me that if we wanted to have children we would need a donor egg, or to adopt.
We were crushed. I took the news hard. This wasn’t supposed to be happening to me. I was young and felt healthy other than the fact that I was “infertile.” I felt so bad; it was my fault we couldn’t have kids. I was mad at the doctors who first misdiagnosed my appendicitis, and I was heartbroken as I watched many friends and family around me get pregnant so easily. “So now what?” I asked myself.
I was open to new possibilities and I wasn’t ready to give up on my hope of conceiving naturally, so I did a lot of research and I found Clear Passage Therapies (CPT). While I had my doubts, it seemed like the best fit for me since they said they had shown success opening blocked fallopian tubes. The therapy didn’t involve surgery; it seemed therapeutic and nurturing and that made sense to me. I was following through on my instinct to find some alternative to surgery. Basically, I was following my heart.
With the love and support of my husband, we made plans to drive six hours to their clinic in Florida. We felt we had nothing to lose and we looked forward to the trip as a chance to get away for the week where we could be together, and I could concentrate on healing my body.
I had so much to be thankful for — a loving husband, a supportive family, a great job, and wonderful friends. I wrote in my journal, “I feel empowered because I am doing everything possible to better my chances. If it doesn’t happen, I will know I tried. I’m a believer. I’m also feeling a little vulnerable because tomorrow starts the beginning of a new journey. Whether pregnancy is a result or not, I know Eddie and I will be able to deal with it.”
Once I got there, any doubts I had disappeared. I felt good about the staff, their ability, and their professionalism and care. I knew I was being treated by experienced professionals who actually listened to me and what I had to say about my body. I received 20 hours of therapy. Eddie and I left there believing it worked, but the moment of truth would come a month later when I did the HSG dye test, to see if my tube had opened.
The day it was scheduled was an emotional day for me. I was nervous and anxious. Just a few years ago when I had the same test done, I fell apart in my mother’s arms watching the dye collect in my tube, marking the beginning of infertility. Now I was holding my husband’s hand watching the dye spill out of my tube — which was now open! We hugged and cried and immediately went home to try to get pregnant, the old-fashioned way!
We got pregnant naturally the next month with our first redheaded miracle, Maria Rose. When Maria was seven months old we drove down to CPT again to thank everyone and have everyone meet Maria. I also received four more hours of therapy to address some pain issues from the vaginal delivery I had at Maria’s birth. I have to say that once again, the positive changes from just those few hours were extraordinary!
Five months later I found out we were pregnant again naturally, this time with twins! I gave birth to two healthy babies, Edward and Katherine, in May, 2006.
We now have three beautiful redheads completing this miraculous journey!

“This book will bring new hope to many women now suffering.” – Dr. Mary Lou Ballweg
“Adhesions are a major problem for women with endometriosis, causing pain which can continue for decades, sexual and bowel function problems, difficulty with exercise and other movement. Previously, only surgery was available, which in itself could lead to more adhesions. This book will bring new hope to many women now suffering.”
