[USER=”935″]drtowfigh[/USER][USER=”2804″]pinto[/USER] Thank you for being the only surgeon on planet earth that I have seen willing to stand up and say that they have seen the benefits of exercise to help control an inguinal hernia. So many people say that it is impossible, while they sit and do nothing, looking for proof rather than giving it a try for themselves so they can be their own judge. But I guess if the majority of surgeons are telling their patients to limit their activity, especially abdominal exercises, I can see why.

Also, thanks for backing me up to being called a snake oil salesman. I have helped thousands of active people get on with their lives through writing my blog and designing the comfort-truss, and I pride myself on that fact. So when I see someone say that it’s very frustrating. I don’t have a blog to sell hernia belts, I sell hernia belts to hopefully help the people who read my blog and watch my videos in the same way that the truss has helped me. Am I an entrepreneur? Yes, I have been my whole life, but I have much better things to do with my time than to talk about hernias if I wasn’t truly in this to help people. I sold a very successful company that I owned for over 10 years because it wasn’t fulfilling to me. I would rather help people, and make A LOT less money, than to make a bunch of money doing something that means nothing to me. Like I say anytime I mention the comfort-truss in my videos: You don’t have to buy the belt I designed. It works for me, but everyone has to find one that works for them and fits their lifestyle. I couldn’t find one that fit my lifestyle, so I had to make it for myself, and now I get to help people by offering it to them.

Hey guys, sorry for the late post, but I just found this and thought I’d respond. This is George, the guy who writes the mynaturalherniacure blog that you linked above, where I chronicle my attempt to heal my hernia naturally without surgery. I can tell you that it is absolutely possible to get the lump to go away because I have done it. If the hernia is truly “healed” I don’t know, but it is no longer an issue for me like it was before, which is all I care about. There is a lot of work that went into it, so I don’t believe that I would have been able to get the lump to go away on it’s own without doing anything. With that being said, I have talked to a few different people over the years that were able to do it that way.

I believe it has a lot to do with pelvic posture, weakness is the muscles surrounding the inguinal canal (especially the transversus abdominis), poor hip mobility which causes tension, tension from stress, and a diet that causes inflammation in the intestines, or causes gas.

It seemed like the most important thing for me was to make sure that the hernia was being held in at all times and to never let it poke out, while at the same time working to fix the previously mentioned issues, especially strengthening the musculature.

Ive learned this through trial and error, and through talking to thousands of people with inguinal hernias over the years to find these common problems. I’ve worked to correct these problem areas on myself, and was able to get the lump to go away. I still get a little bit of a weird feeling in the area every once in a while when I’m in a forward sitting position, so I feel like I still have little ways to go, but I can get through my days without thinking about the hernia anymore.
