Delurking (at last) to add... Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Mimitabby. I've forwarded the Times article to a bunch of women I know who are using Fosamax, Boniva (or whatever the name of the one Sally Fields pushes), etc. Also, I am really liking the info at Women to Women.com. I know this organization was co-founded by Dr. Christiane Northrup and what I've read so far seems very much in keeping with her main philosophies for natural health.
