Is Oprah's Women's Health Advisor A Misogynist?  According to
PalMD, Oprah advisor Dr. Christiane Northrup's alternative ideas
about women's health are actually misogynist.  Northrup says
that uterine fibroids may "result when we are flowing life
energy into dead end jobs or relationships we have outgrown."
She also says that for breast health, women should imagine their
chests "bathed in the golden white light of healing" and
"express all emotions fully." PalMD writes,  There is something
fundamentally misogynist about Northrup's approach. In addition
to being complete fantasy, it is part of the punitive culture of
so-called alternative medicine. According to people like her, if
a woman is just happy enough, satisfied enough, spiritual
enough, then she won't be unhealthy. So what happens if you get
sick? Well, you must not have been good enough. It's not like
that's a new message for women.  Who Does Oprah Go To For
