I healed my Inguinal Hernia without Surgery!
 
 
1. Part: Investigation
When I was fully recovered from Fibromyalgia, feeling strong again and full of energy, so I worked like I did before and moved also heavy things. But for more than two years not having had any exercises had weakened my body and so it happened that too much tension in my belly opened the tissue and the muscles, so that my intestines came out through this hole. That's called 'Inguinal Hernia' and was quite painful and my medical doctor told me that this must be repaired with surgery as soon as possible.
Although it is common in our days for the established medical health system to use surgery on all parts of the body to repair what doesn't function or is defect, I believe that 'repairing' has not necessarily to do with healing and often might inhibit the natural healing process. The usual expectation is to get rid of any disease as fast as possible and taking pills to take away the disturbing symptoms or to let cut off the bad body part became a normal practice. So to close a hole in the belly with some plastic mash seems to be the logical consequence.  But I don't agree with these manipulative procedures. I believe all happenings and also each disease or 'accident' has a cause which lays behind of what we are aware of. Healing should include one's whole being and during the healing process all levels should be included. Of course there are conditions where surgery is necessary as a first step of the healing. I had the feeling that with hernia there is an underlying reason which is not solved by surgery. So I searched the Internet for an alternative solution, even though I was told by the MD that the unrepaired hernia is dangerous and I could die within 5 hours if the intestines are strangulated. I searched and searched, but nothing showed up! I read many pages and the only advice all over the place: Surgery! Even when I searched for 'alternative treatments' then only Surgery came up. Thousands of pages... (1.550.000 pages on hernia!) I searched again and again, with keywords like: "Healing inguinal hernia without surgery", there were showing up 155.000 pages, - but all about Surgery!
       
It was said that 5% of all men get an hernia in their life and that would mean, if all are repaired by surgery, an income of more than a Trillion $ for the medical system only from the hernia surgery! 80.000 surgeries a year only in UK! So obviously this is part of a lucrative business, which is based on a materialistic world view and because of this one can understand why it is so hard to find any alternative solution. Probably nobody is even asking for one, being impressed by the established medical authorities! Indeed there seems to be no choice. I searched for several months and could not find any alternative information to heal my hernia and even from alternative health groups like Reiki there came only the suggestion back that surgery should be done.
.
Meanwhile I found out, that one must look for information older than eighty years. I have given some links further on... Reading the information from those old books, I can understand now why modern medicine is not interested in those 'self-healing-methods'. To heal an hernia without surgery, it needs a lot of engagement and self responsibility, apart of that it takes much longer and is not just a quick 'repair' but is a 'healing process' which goes far deeper and includes the whole being with all levels - and this is not wanted in our speedy society.
.
Sometimes I felt totally impotent in front of all those hundred thousands of impressive expressions from medical experts. How can I be right in my feelings only based on my intuition, as I have very little knowledge about diseases and healing? But then looking at the behavior of the great majority of humanity, whose life are nearly all based on a materialistic world view, who have little doubt that they might be wrong in their lifestyle and the resulting way of thinking, then I must conclude that indeed all those medical experts might be wrong...
As more I read all those medical statements as more my resistance was growing and of course also because of my disappointing experiences with the medical system I had to go through when I had Fibromyalgia; when I was told that my disease only exist in my head and wanting to prescribe anti depressives to me. One medical doctor kicked me out of his office when I insisted that I had no depressions, - of course not forgetting to charge me for his 'service'! So it it easy to understand that my position was critical about the health system and medical doctors and I could find the strength to search inspite the over welming oppinions of all who say: "Only surgery is possible to heal an inguinal hernia!"
.
So I went on investigating and I just treated my Hernia with what I thought might help: Meditation, Reiki, Sungazing, EFT, foot reflex massage, infra red massager, Crocodile exercise (I had learned 45 years ago from Swami Dev Murti), some yoga and other stretching  exercises, a strict alimentation, supplements like Aloe Vera, Propolis, Ginseng, Olive leaf tea, Granada peel tea, minerals, etc., and I'm still doing my ozone sauna, but now only once a week.
Healing my Hernia was a very slow process and very tiring as it needed a lot of my energy and probably also because I felt pretty alone with it. But I continued with the decision that even this would be the last thing in my life I would go on with it!


One thing became absolutely clear to me: It is NOT the question of treating symptoms even not with holistic means like meditation or Reiki. I have written about it many times and I will repeat it many times: Whatever dysfunction shows up, what is called 'disease', this is not the cause, it is a symptom for an underlying, mostly hidden cause and this probably will come from another level. Maybe it is from an emotionally or mental imbalance, or even beyond this, what we might call 'spiritual', (even though I try to avoid to go into 'mystical' spaces...) meaning that our connection with our origin or authentic being is disturbed or not yet done...

Then I started with some exercises, I only could do fife movements of it then I was exhausted, but later on I could do fifty and I added every day fife more. Then it happened the first time that my Hernia didn't pop out when I got up in the morning and it didn't hurt anymore, I could walk without disturbance. So it seemed that it works! But apart of the body exercises I did more: Twice a day EFT and twice a day Reiki on myself and 45 minutes been treated daily by my girl friend with Reiki. 
With the exercises one must watch out not to do too much: Once when I did the 'upside down' Yoga position, then I didn't noticed that the hernia was outside and after a few minutes I had strong pain and couldn't continue, then I had pain for several days... 
I found out that by doing too much exercises my hernia is getting worse and by doing too little it doesn't get better. So what is too much and too little depends on my situation, my energy and my emotionally state of being... What means that one has to be very aware and listen to one's body and all other parts of one's system. This is probably a good attitude and condition to find a holistic way to deal with oneself, as a being in ones specific condition and position connecting and being aware with one's source...

I couldn't believe it that there is no information available about an alternative way to treat hernia and so again I searched intensively the Internet, I went through hundreds of pages and couldn't find anything, only about surgery. I did it in English, German and Spanish, - all the same. Then I found one scientific page: Strategies for the Treatment of Indirect Hernia (M. Kux) with an article in such a professional language that I hardly could understand one word. But a few sentences (red) gave me a hint: 
"The internal inguinal ring is formed by the separation of two portions of transversalis fascia: Laterally, transversalis fascia is attached to the posterior edge of the inguinal ligament. Medial to the inferior epigastric vessels, transversalis fascia inserts into the Cooper ligament, at some distance from the inguinal ligament, and extends over the pubis into the cavity of the pelvis. The course of an indirect hernia corresponds to a tangentially acting aetiology. Intraperitoneal pressure acts at a right angle upon the oblique course of the processus vaginalis, causing compression and obliteration of the processus. Radially acting intraperitoneal pressure would have to be deviated at a right angle to cause de novo formation of an indirect hernia. 
Conclusions: The word and the historical notion of traumatic 'rupture' are misleading conceptions for groin hernia aetiology. In childhood, indirect hernia is a process of foetal development; at old age, a process of involution of the extraperitoneal fatty-fascial compartment. This involution is characterized by the formation of lipomas and, histologically, by fatty degeneration of connective tissue components. The extraperitoneal fatty-fascial compartment is contained by external oblique aponeurosis, not by transversalis fascia. This is the reason why a small prosthesis sublayed to external oblique aponeurosis is more effective than a much larger prosthesis sublayed to transversalis fascia. This concept is helpful in the strategy of using as little prosthetic material as possible".
.
The author's conclusion goes in direction of surgery but my conclusion was and is: If the hernia is caused by "fatty degeneration of connective tissue components" then this condition is not changed by surgery putting a plastic mash on top of the hole and so no wonder if after surgery another hernia appears. 
A comment from a cyber friend: "I find it interesting that once again there is connective fatty tissue involved.  I had not really ever known what caused such things, but it seems that weakening of the tissue is the base problem?   Most research I have seen regarding major diseases seems to relate to certain tissue typ, the fatty tissues are in the nervous, and brain, spine and other places. These are the places the contamination of heavy metal accumulates and allows virus/pathogens to prosper and be protected from the white cells that would normally do the cleaning job. I read this again and again. It seems what stopping the tissue degeneration one way or the other, would be the first thing to do.  As  you have pointed out, the medical establishment treats disease viruses like a protected species. I have heard of drug that will not work until after the heavy metal is removed. It seems the reason the drugs work in a lab, is because the lab samples do not have heavy metal..." 
.
If there is a degeneration of tissue, then this might be caused through circumstances like wrong alimentation, overweight, lack of exercises, accumulation of toxins and probably many more until now unknown factors. (I found a good Web site about 'Hernia causes' which is not directly about hernia, it is more general, but worthwhile to be read.) If there has happened a change in the tissue and muscles, causing the hernia, then it must be possible to reverse the process and create favorable conditions for a healing. At least this is my logical thought as a naive nonprofesional 'investigator'. The MDs say that once the tissues and muscles are damaged then it will not heal and only surgery can repair it and with this justifying their manipulation, which only eliminates the symptom but not touching the cause. Maybe they are right, maybe not. At this moment I don't trust the MDs because even I believe they are caring for their patients, - as good as they can, their own interest might be stronger, ruled by their (unconscious) personal background and limited knowledge... (Without even they know about this!)
Two brothers told me that they both had surgery twice for their inguinal hernia and they still have a lot of problems. Now the doctor wants to do the surgery the third time and he said that now he has to charge the double because they are over 50 years old, but he would serve them with great pleasure! Incredible isn't it?
So the question is: What can I do to strengthen the damaged condition of my tissue and muscles? Now I realize that I did already something in this direction apart of my exercises: When I was sick with Fibromyalgia I had not enough exercises and had gotten some overweight, not much but a few kilos and mainly around the belly. So that was the first thing I did after the hernia appeared: I did a fasting and lost some of this fat. Probably it is a good idea to do a water fasting
.
When I searched the Internet and was confronted with hundred thousands of "expert- opinions" from medical capacities then I felt sometimes like an ante who wants to climb the Himalayas. 

So then sometimes I came to the point near to desperation as everything was becoming too much. So I had ask for help... I received the clear and simple answer from inside:'Help is on the way!' Well, so I trusted this and was more calm. 
Then I received several email from Dr. Bernarr, D.C., (email: DRBERNARR@aol.com) I had asked him for help with my hernia. The information he gave, even though I'm critical and don't agree with all what he writes, it confirmed very much what I had found out and so it gave me a certain security to be able to continue with my treatments and my positive attitude. http://www.healself.org

Investigating Native American healer I found an interesting Web site from a healer who is also a medical doctor, what he writes goes very much with what my intention is, (and also it confirms what Dr. Bernarr told me in his email) worth to be read, go to:
   Dr. Lewis Mehl-Madrona 
Quote: "Since medical school graduation, I have been working to integrate the thoughts and techniques of traditional Native American healing elders with more common behavioral medicine techniques and psychotherapies. I have wanted to find the most effective and most aesthetic way for me to midwife people's personal transformations and healings. To improve my approach, I interviewed a number of Native American healers to learn how they conceptualized their work and how they thought it could be translated into modern American culture." 
BeiYin: That he writes about 'personal transformation' tells me that he came to a similar conclusion like me, - even being a 'medical doctor'. For my personal healing process now with Hernia, I picked from his Web site: 
Quote: "The traditional healers told me that time is the first important ingredient in the healing journey, comparing starting this journey to beginning to push a rock up a hill. It takes a lot more effort to get the rock moving at first than to keep it moving. They wondered how seeing someone once or twice weekly could provide enough "oomph" to start the healing process. "How can you push a rock up a hill if you keep stopping and letting it roll back down?" they asked. 
In organic and biochemistry, an energy of activation is required to initiate a reaction. Once initiated that reaction may proceed irreversibly to completion without much further energetic input. Without sufficient energy of activation, the reaction never occurs. A cake without sufficient energy of heat remains mush. A minimal level of heat is needed to actually cook the cake (transforming the internal arrangements of its molecules). The healers loved these comparisons to chemistry, and reflected upon how nature is the same at every level. In systems science, we say that each layer is isomorphic to the other."
BeiYin: So this confirms what I thought before: doing a water fasting in which I don't do anything else, just laying in bed with closed eyes, etc. He writes also: Quote: "The days before modern pharmaceuticals, rest was a key ingredient of any therapy. Healing may best begin by putting the client to bed. This disturbs daily routines and breaks old habits. It allows the body's repair mechanisms to take over from the defense mechanisms; the parasympathetic nervous system to calm down the sympathetic nervous system."
BeiYin: I was doing every day my exercises, EFT, Reiki, meditation, etc. but I was also working. This was probably the reason why my hernia was not getting really better:
'The rock is just too heavy that it moves by itself and keeps moving...' With other words: to become aware of the load one is carrying since many years and which might have caused one's disease.
In consequence I did as the most important a ten days water fasting:
Report from these days: [Remark: I was editing this testimonial up to here to make an audio out of it, but I will not edit more, I think it should stay like it is as a daily report.]
I am at the 5th day of my water fasting. I'm doing my exercises three times a day and today I felt that it was more difficult. Today I will do an enema to clean up my intestines but I will wait with a liver cleans until after the fasting, it might be too much stress and disturbing the healing process of my hernia. I felt good the last few days and I had enough energy to work several hours on some translations, what I wanted to do since several months. 
I finished twelve days water fasting... and I must say that this was a pretty tough time. I wouldn't suggest to do it in winter time, it's easier in summer. At the end I was quite weak and when I wanted to eat again then there was nothing prepared and I had not enough energy so I was eating for a week just what was there and this wasn't the right way to get back my strength, instead I messed up my digestive system... Now another week has passed and slowly I am gaining back some energy. I had lost about eight kilos. My hernia is not yet healed although it is getting better. I am doing my exercises three times a day. Six series: When I started these then I could only do only five then later twenty movements in each serie. Now I am doing about one hundred up to hundred fifty... 
But I reduced the number of movements to fifty or one hundred, this feels good even when I do it three times a day. In an old book about natural healing from Dr. med. Alfred Brauchle, he wrote that after or before these exercises one should do five minutes of massage of the abdomen around the hernia, - massaging in circles. This I am doing since a few days and indeed my hernia is getting better. Also Dr. Brauchle suggest to wear a good fitting truss and to put it on in the morning when still laying in bed and also taking it off laying down. So that the hernia doesn't pop out. He writes that the hernia should be treated like a broken bone, it should be kept as calm as possible. That's not always so easy, for example when going to the toilet or taking a shower. I do it in the way that I hold one hand on the hernia so that it doesn't come out, this doesn't work always but most of the time. 

I have a cold. Why my hernia is getting worse? I have emotional stress. Why my hernia is getting worse? I have days with a lack of energy. Why my hernia then is worse? It seems to be pretty obvious that all is connected and so the 'healing' must include the whole system, - and of course the 'healing' can and should start also with little things like a cold. Not cutting the symptoms with some pills or in the case of hernia closing the damaged tissue with some plastic mash... So the healing must start or go down to the roots, but where are the root causes of an hernia? I never read anywhere a question about it, so probably I need to go into this direction and investigate more... (Isn't anybody out there who can give me a hint?)

Link: When searching the Internet I read about the author Patricia Ann Hellinger. Her story had an uplifting effect to my mood, as I see that I'm not the only person who wants to go into another direction. She has written an interesting book how she healed herself from Fibromyalgia and other severe diseases, but it is already worth while to read her story and her view about healing...

Link: I found an amazing book "Practice of natural therapeutics" Henry Lindlahr M.D. TREATMENT OF CHRONIC DISEASES  and I have made a copy.
There are quite a number of books, mostly out of print and several now in 'Public Domain'. 
Go to: http://www.soilandhealth.org/
I will make an extract of all what I found and what I am doing now to heal my hernia. Soon more!

I found a book published in Germany at 1933: "Handbuch der Naturheilkunde" written by Dr. med. Alfred Brauchle. I don't know if there exist an edition in English. I will search for it, because he is describing natural treatments among others also for hernia...

Mood & Energy: During the last weeks I came several times near to desperation and I guess this happens to anyone who is searching for an alternative way to heal one's hernia and then not finding anything else than surgery. So when it happened that I got this feeling of being helpless and hopeless, then I did EFT for a few minutes. (I have written more about it at: click) (At the Web site: EFT= Emotional Freedom Technique one can download the EFT manual for free.) Doing the EFT, one is tapping certain meridian points and saying or thinking an affirmation, like:
      "I am full of energy and in a good mood!"
This needs only two minutes - and it helps! So with this I could go forward and had enough energy to do first my morning exercises and then, - I get more energy out of it and I can go on to 'confront the day'...
The last days my mood was lifted up, because finally I found some alternative information and I could see, that indeed, a natural healing of an inguinal hernia is possible. Again recognizing how important it is to keep one's energy and mood high. Then also one's view is more open and new information can be received...
.
Again my hernia got worse - and my mood went down. But then reflecting about it I could realize that even my hernia was worse it was still better than when it was bad the last time and when I had recovered, then my hernia was better than ever before. Seeing this more clearly, there was no need for my mood to go down, knowing that - even though there are ups and downs - on the long run it is getting better. But of course, it is an issue in the healing process, that I am not sure about anything. I have no proof that it is possible to heal myself from hernia. I haven't met anybody and I have not read about any case. So I am walking on a very slippery ground, but now I don't care how often I fall down on my nose or bottom, I will go on...
A few days ago a physiotherapist visited me. It was not about me, he is planing to give a seminar about healing. But then I was talking about my hernia and my intention to heal it in an alternative way, he said that this would be impossible and the only way to repair the hernia would be surgery. To my arguments he responded that I obviously have little knowledge about medical conditions. That's right, I hardly know even the basic, but now after having had fibromyalgia and being recovered from it, I can say that I know more about fibromyalgia than all the medical doctors I had consulted, including several healers. Also I can say that somehow I am glad not to have a medical education, otherwise I would be stuck and limited to this knowledge, being an authority but blind for any creative solution. Even though I could look through the authoritarian attitude of this visitor, I felt half a day impressed and depressed...
By the way: The physiotherapist told me that his field are joint treatments specially the knees. 
I asked him to which one of the knees he is specialized, to the left or the right? Because I have some problems in my right knee...
.
Now my mood is high enough that it has caused a new attitude: This morning I could look at many heavy and negative happenings in a way that I had just to laugh about it and realize that it is very much more like a joke, even though it has destructive results. 
I talked to a friend yesterday, who has a big company and therefor also big problems. When we see each other we normally talk about our health situation. He told me now that his mood is often changing. I ask him why, but he didn't know. So I suggested that when this happens, that he just observes himself. Then probably he will notice that these mood ups and downs are reactions to what he is experiencing around him. So this for sure is different than what he wants and what is his expectation how it should be. When he can be aware of this, accepting it as part of reality, then he can relax about it and then also he will be more open for creative solutions to change the unwanted situation... Then even he might be able to laugh about most of what had caused him disappointment and stress before!

Thought: I just watched a CD about doing EFT to heal a trauma. The therapist in this video said that to cure a trauma sometimes it needs a year or more and often it is a really difficult process, because it involves the work and responsibility of the client. So it is a 'process' and this effects and has healing results on all levels. Now, on the other hand, if a person has a chronic disease like hernia and gets surgery, then in the case of the person with the trauma it would mean to cut out the effected parts of the brain of this person, so taking away the trauma and the symptoms. Wouldn't this be ridiculous? So why it is less ridiculous doing surgery on a hernia to get rid of this symptom and the same with other diseases?
Remark: I read an article about a MD who found out that doing surgery on people with Fibromyalgia (on their tender points) eliminates all their symptoms. Oh boy!!! This MD will soon be multi multi billionaire and the world filled with many million zombies more...

A visitor of my hernia page ask me for advice about his hernia. He was operated a year ago and still has pain. The doctors are telling him that this is normal... I am sorry, but I can't give any advice, first because I'm not a health professional and then because in this case I can't tell about my own experience as I never had surgery and I am doing my best not to have one. People who had surgery with their hernia and have problems, should ask their med. doctor and if they can't give an advice then they should search for exercises they can do, change their diet, do EFT and do other things to strengthen their whole system. Probably they can do the same exercises I'm doing to avoid surgery and to heal my hernia, but really: I don't know about it! Maybe 'castor oil packs' can help, ask your doctor... I can only repeat: Whatever disease there is, with surgery the cause is not healed and another symptom will show up: Another hernia or something else, probably on a different level... So as a consequence: Heal your background and every thing else will fall in its place! 
My hernia is much better! Since one week I am working full time and also lifting heavy stuff but I have no pain. But I am wearing a truss all day and I put it on in the morning before I get up, taking it off when I lay down in the evening. With this being sure that the hernia doesn't come out. When I go to the toilet or do the sauna, then I protect the hernia with my hand. Another sign shows up telling me that my hernia is better: The last few days I haven't protected my hernia when I did the sauna and even then it didn't pop out! I see this as a real progress.

.
Two weeks later: I'm still progressing even I'm working. I find it more difficult to do my abdomen exercises, because about one hours daily for this needs some energy and I'm adding every day a few movements more, so that I am now at one hundred movements for each exercise that makes five hundred movements and then the massage and the EFT in-between. But I want to stick with it as the healing seems more and more possible. I have no doubts about this anymore... By the way: I have thrown away my old truss and I'm using a small foam rubber ball which I have cut into half. It works perfectly and hasn't cost me one centime!
.
With the half rubber ball under the truss it works pretty good, but yesterday I couldn't find the ball, - probably my cat was playing with it -, so I used a flat stone instead. This might be better, because from an old book about hernia treatments I remember the information, that the pressure from the truss cushion would cause that the tissue builds up scar tissue and so closes the hole of the hernia. So I will direct my intention to this... (Later: I stopped using the stone and instead  I'm putting a hard foam rubber cushion. That feels right at the moment, but I guess every body had to find out what seems the best...)
I am using this flat stone now for two months and it works pretty good, although the stone is too heavy and sometimes falls out... I can't suggest using a stone, probably it depends very much on one's individual condition and the state of healing. So one should be aware of it and sensibly using one's intuition for what might be the best...
Today I received an email with a link to a Yoga Web site were a MD who also is doing yoga, describes that he healed his inguinal hernia with yoga. He describes the same exercise I am doing now since three months. 
I found a post in curezone.org which points out the importance of a colon cleanse:

"I actually asked him how to cure inguinal hernia with herbs for my dad who suffers from this. He told me that an inguinal hernia means that the colon is full of crap, and this impacted colon is pushing on a weak muscle which bulges out. Dr. Christopher's student cured his inguinal hernia within 6 weeks, but it can take 6 weeks to 6 months. Basically, one takes Dr. Christopher's lower bowel formula (to empty the colon out, as many capsules as can be tolerated). Also, apply Dr. Christopher's complete tissue formula ointment on the area, and also this formula can be taken internally. But taking these supplements is not enough, diet is key. The purpose of this treatment is to eliminate all of the fecal matter from the colon that is pressing on the weak muscle. So if one wants to get rid of this problem, one should go on a mucusless diet-absolutely no ingestion of foods that cause constipation: no dairy, meat, or preserved foods. One should eat fruits and vegetables, and juices. And Dr. Christopher also said that if one wants accelerate the healing process, a juice fast would be necessary-preferrably a watermelon juice fast, or a prune juice fast.
Surgery for an inguinal hernia merely masks the symptoms. The body is telling the patient the colon needs to be cleaned out, it is full of too much crap. Surgery definitely does not clean out the colon, and if this is not cleaned out, new diseases can appear. As we all know good health starts with colon health."


Yesterday I called an old friend in Germany telling her about my hernia, she gave me the advice to go to the Web site of Dr. xyz, who investigated about 'micro cells' and he has developed a series of 'formulas' which helps and stimulates the growing and recovering of tissue. That's exactly what I need at this moment for my hernia. I feel pretty good and I can work nearly whole day and pretty hard. I have seldom pain, but the hernia is not healing, what means the rupture is not closing, although I am doing EFT especially for the cells of the tissue and muscles that they can recover, so obviously they need another stimuli. OK, so I went to this doctors Web site and spend all night on reading it. Indeed very convincing and I wrote an email to Dr. xyz asking about a 'formula' for my hernia. I am pretty critical about offered 'formulas' because I have made a lot of negative experiences in the Internet with those magic bullets. I wish nothing more than to find something to help to heal myself. This could really have a great impact to all people suffering from hernia. The 'formula' alone will probably not do it, but with the exercises, the right diet, massage, EFT, meditation, etc. then the stimulation of the cells might do the decisive healing impulse. 
Update:
I tried for several months the 'formulas' of several sellers and came to the conclusion that these seem to be part of the big health business. For sure it is good to take some supplements like vitamins and minerals, but all the other stuff... I have serious doubts, but there should be done some intense investigation... I came to the conclusion that those 'formula sellers' are mostly using the need of people, who of course want to be healed, to make money. It is likely so, because there is missing a more subtle aspect, as their view still is based on a pure materialistic aspect, even there might be an aspect of selfless intention behind. 
Could it be that this Hernia thing is an exercise in being patient? I believe that I'm a pretty patient person, but my Hernia let me come to my limit. You as the reader of this writings are probably very patient, not having received any concrete result about my healing. But wait! Don't give up. I am still convinced that healing from hernia is possible. It's not just a believe. Indeed I am feeling much better than one year ago, my physical condition has improved a lot, due to my daily exercises as described before. I am working now full time, as I did before I got sick with Fibromyalgia, although my energy some times goes down. But yes, this might have to do with 'patience'. So I can understand that you are waiting for a result, but please be patient!

Several weeks have past and I'm still waiting. I'm desperately waiting for the parcel with the miracle formula. A few weeks later: I gave up waiting for the parcel and started to investigate, searching for similar substances. There are a number of other places where one can buy those supplements. What I can see now is that the prices for those 'formulas' are far too high and I will look for an other way to get these substances, which are: Proline, Lysine, protein and vitamin C. I am taking now 50 gr pure protein daily, which is sold for body builder. The Lysine and Proline, which are important for the cell stimulation, but I haven't found yet. Then I should take 5-6 gr vitamin C. (over the day) But I couldn't take the high quantity of vitamin C, because it gives too much acid to the body system. I will look for another kind of vitamin C...

Exiting news: I just called somebody in the USA who had written an email to me telling that he healed himself from an inguinal hernia. In his email he hesitated to tell me details because he wasn't absolutely sure that he was really healed. But now when we talk about it at the phone there was no doubt about it: He healed himself from his inguinal hernia and there is nothing left which disturbs anymore. He can do anything without problem, included weight lifting and heavy work. He had an inguinal hernia for about three years and he refused surgery at the last moment when he had already the appointment with the surgeon. Now he is very happy that he did so. He also makes me happy as I have the confirmation that healing without surgery is possible, until now I wasn't sure about it and felt pretty alone. So now my hope has a concrete base and I look forward to my own healing. This gentleman wants to share what he did to heal his hernia. (Go to: email exchange) It is nearly the same what I'm doing, with very little variation, but of course sometimes something little makes a big difference! He told me that he takes 6 gr of vitamin C daily and 50 gr protein and that he has done similar exercises as I do, but he said it is more important to do a few movements but very strong than many and light. Also he said that it is important to relax enough, - indeed this I would like to do, but at the moment there is too much work and the heat is unbearable... So I will stop writing now and relax... 
Somebody had ask me about the exercises I'm doing. It is difficult to describe them so I have made a video about it. (In case this link doesn't work, search in YouTube for BeiYin or Inguinal Hernia healed without surgery.) In any case one should carefully listen at one's body and only do what feels right... I still believe it wouldn't be a fault to ask a health professional... (But be aware of their established rigid attitude!)
Update: Again a few months passed by. I'm still doing my daily exercises. It hasn't changed much, but looking back I can observe that doing the exercises now, it is much easier than before and I'm not getting exhausted so much. This early morning when I went out to make a pee, I forgot to put the truss, then I noticed that the hernia didn't come out, as it normally did. But I will not sing hallelujah yet and go on wearing the truss, although putting in just a small rubber plate, after the stone I had used fell down and broke into pieces, what gave me the sign to change something about the protection. And it works, I have no pain anymore and no problems even lifting heavy things... Again I will try to get the vitamin C as Calcium Ascorbate with Bioflavoids here in the pharmacy. I had bought it from the US but it never made it through the customs. Later: This kind of vitamin C  exist here in Spain only without Bioflavoids, but this is ten times more expensive than in the US! 
Since a few days I have some pain in my abdomen, although I'm not working at the moment.  I don't work because I'm not feeling well and have a heart problem which are getting worse even doing little things. I even had to reduce my daily exercises. Looking back to the last weeks, I can see what might have caused it. The last two months I felt pretty much alone, then my cat, I have been living with for the last ten years, died. This was a very special cat and we were very connected. So this was an emotionally shock... Then living in a kind of community is a permanent emotionally stress. Last week we had a meeting and there were only complains from the people here about the daily circumstances and not even one positive comment... I know this behavior and attitude from people since thirty years and I can take it, having reduced my expectations to the utmost minimum, but after this I felt sick and didn't want to see anybody... So I'm not that much surprised that also my hernia hurts beside the heart pain. What makes it again clear, that the emotions have an important significance and influence on health and healing. Again, like several times before, I came to the point when I felt that I wanted to give up with the intention of a community. These thoughts didn't make me feel better. There are arriving every day email from people who want to come, but the last days I haven't answered them. Now just a moment ago there called someone who had written and we were talking for a while and he convinced me, so I told him they (a couple) can come. This has happened now several times that when I came near to the point of giving up, then promising people showed up. OK, now I feel much better and I will relax. Tomorrow is another day...
...? 
Update:
So you might ask what all this has to do with 'healing my hernia'. It turned out the last days, that indeed it has to do with it. The last two weeks I had serious heart problems, not because of an organic failure but caused of stress. Before the heart problems were showing up, my hernia was doing pretty well, it hasn't come out for several days and there hasn't shown any pain, so I came near to the thought that my Hernia might be healed. But then with my heart problems also the Hernia got worse, so obviously all is influenced and connected with my emotional condition triggered by outside happening and situations. Dealing with this in a different way and with another attitude will bring the release... So you might want to go to my new heart page and read about it. Then you will understand that 'stress' also is influencing the healing of one's hernia and that it is essential to do something to release one's stress... Even you are used to the daily stress and it looks like this is normal. But even it doesn't' bother you too much, it is still damaging your system and is causing the failure in the long run and I suspect that stress is a hindrance for any healing . Don't give up! Take self responsibility and do something about your emotional situation, which is influencing your stress level! It's a challenge! 
Update: My heart trouble is getting better and also my hernia. Since more than a week it didn't popped out and I have no pain. It is possible that one reason is, because the last time I haven't been working so much like before. What seems to be important is, that now I'm much more aware of my stress level and when I notice that I'm tense, then it needs only a little effort to relax. For example driving in heavy traffic or doing a job fast. Obviously it is easier to observe myself, when I'm not emotionally engaged, but then I am mostly aware of it later, when I'm alone and let pass the happening again. So it seems that to release one's stress  it is essential to be aware of the stress and now it becomes very clear, why the 'Stress Release Exercise' works and is so effective.


Update:As I told at my heart page: I'm laying in bed since three weeks with a broken leg, not being able to move much. Two weeks before I had the accident, I noticed, that my hernia was not coming out when occasionally I was not wearing the truss, like when I took a shower or did the sauna. It didn't hurt anymore and I reduced the protection to just a small belt. Now being in bed for six weeks for sure this is favorable for the complete healing. Meanwhile I will continue with the exercises I am doing since more than half a year. Not completely, due to my broken leg, but as good as I can. So then in another three weeks I will dare not to use any protection and will just hope that my hernia will be completely healed.
I am aware of the fact that the overpowering authority from the established health system, by stating that the only way to deal with a hernia is surgery, has still an influence on me, but I'm stubborn enough to be convinced that healing without surgery is possible, although all those capacities are telling something different. Something similar happened to me now: When I went to the hospital with my broken leg, the med. doctors said that this must be operated and they reacted pretty strange when I refused surgery after I saw the x- ray and listened to their unclear arguments. To make the story short: They finally put my leg in plaster and let me go, again reacting strange when I refused the medication they wanted to give me, against the pain, the swelling, to prevent thrombosis, etc. I admit, it was quite painful the first three weeks, but I'm glad not to have enriched my system with those chemicals... So lets see... (By the way: Later on I had a good, spontaneous and human contact with another med. doctor and there might come something else out of it. He was interested to know about my healing from Fibromyalgia and that is the first time that a doctor was interested and reacted positive!) 
Update: Now I'm pretty sure that my Hernia is healed. I was laying in bed with a broken leg for four weeks. (I had continued with my exercises almost the whole time). I went twice to the hospital in this time and I didn't wear any protection for the hernia and I had forgotten totally about it as no problem was showing up. The last few days I walked around with crutches and I didn't think about my hernia. I haven't yet started weight lifting, so I'm not yet absolutely sure... 
Update: But now I'm almost sure that my hernia is healed. When walking around with crutches it makes quite some pressure on the belly, but the hernia still doesn't come out and also when I sneeze strongly or cough. I have nearly forgotten about the hernia. I still haven't done weight lifting, with this I will wait a few days more... No, I didn't want to wait more so I went out and lifted a big stone, but this stone seemed not to be big enough so I took a big pallet and standing on one leg I lifted this pallet several times. No hernia symptoms, no pain. So I can resume: 
My hernia is healed!!! 
Epilog
Not just my hernia is healed. During this healing process I went through a transformation which included my whole system. I had to develop strength and patience to be able to continue. Often I felt totally alone, but having still some trust left that the right thing would appear in the right moment, so then it could happen and it happened!
I always felt that I had to go on, listening to my intuition. Now I can see that this was right and knowing that out there are millions of people with hernia and hundred thousands not having the possibility to be repaired by surgery, but not knowing that they might be able to heal themselves, so they are hopeless and just suffering. It is possible to state now that one can heal oneself from inguinal hernia without surgery. It is not easy and one will need a lot of patience and inner strength to do so, but better to intent then to suffer without hope. If somebody with hernia read all what I wrote, that shows that this person has patience and so as well might take the initiative and self responsibility to do something about ones situation and condition. 
The established and untouchable statement: "Only surgery can repair an inguinal hernia" is not solid anymore. If I could do it, then others also can do it and if you are younger than sixty than it will be probably much easier. Now you must not feel as a victim anymore. The hernia is a challenge, if you go through the healing process the benefit is greater than you can imagine now...
...Walking on, I'm reflecting: How is it possible that millions of humans are suffering from an inguinal hernia and the only solution offered by the medical system is surgery? There are hundred thousands of untreated hernias because there are people who can't afford surgery, just suffering and feeling as hopeless victims. Isn't there any doctor who might be motivated to investigate and then offer clear information about an alternative way to heal the hernia? If this information would exist, then one doesn't need to go through all this investigations oneself like I did and then the healing could happen much faster, not having all the doubts. 
Well, one thing now is absolutely clear: 
The healing from an inguinal hernia without surgery is possible!
And the good thing is, that not only the symptoms disappear. During the healing process also the cause is healed, because the whole being is included. Indeed, this makes it much more difficult, but it is worth the effort!

Half a year later: I'm still symptoms free and working full time. I am doing my exercises every morning for about twenty minutes and once a week a sauna. In all this time there have been three responses from people who also rejected surgery and were looking for an alternative way and so they came to my Web page...
