-- JoCee, I read the link you supplied and it is from a reputable source. You can't argue with that. It is a shame that so many doc's have so many opinions, No wonder we are left scratching our heads when told the "fact's" about endo. I am unsure of how one can be in this research and state as "fact" something that another well established researcher has shown not to be the case. I guess we chalk it up to everyone is still learing but everything I hear about what can or can't, is or is not, could or should....I just take what I can and understand no one knows much that is a FOR SURE, so I go about my biz of learning with a grain of salt and an open enough mind about the "fact's" to change it when something shows otherwise.Your site obviosly is reputable and it clearly showed that which you stated so I guess endo can (however rarely IF rarely) show up on a barium Xray,Another "fact" that has loop holes, lol,what a journey! ; ) Health"n'Healing Loretta
