I'll apologize in advance for replying because I am not a doc. I read her first book "Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom." And I got alot out of it. It was quitei nformative and gave me some new insights on pain that I had not considered before. The book actually inspired me to make some changes in my lifestyle. As for selling supplements goes...I have another doctor that does that. He sells them at cost as a courtesy to his patients. I guess he feels its a good way to encourage them to take supplements because they can get them cheaply. And Northrop was talking about soy long before it became trendy to do so.
