D.N.

If I recall correctly, Dr. Northrup performed a Myomectomy on Oprah, so she is a bit biased (as I might be as well if I had a talk show and was interested in showing people Endometriosis....although my Endo specialist is a world reknowned expert in the field, unlike Dr. Northrup) in the medical experts she has on her show....at least in this area of medicine.

I am in total agreement with you about Dr. Northrup's opinions at least where Endo is concerned...if her views of Fibroids are the same, then I feel the same (I don't have fibroids so I don't pay attention to that).
