Pam:  Just an added thought about this mother's situation.  Her physician
is threatening her with visions of masses of tumors growing wild if she
doesn't wean.  As I already noted in my previous post, the physiology of
lactation suggests probable decrease in endometriosis rather than the
opposite.  To repeat the old refrain, have the mother ask this physician
for his/her references demonstrating that breastfeeding causes growth of
endometriosis lesions.  Perhaps he/she has read some very convincing
literature which disproves all I've said - NOT!! ;)
