this made me think of the promom website....i think it was there that they
will send out informative packets to hcp's when you email in that you ran into
one that was not supportive of bfing. and it's anonymous and very friendly in
tone - says something like, 'we just like to send out current facts on bfing to
hcp's...' i'm sorry i don't have time to hunt around the site and pinpoint it
for you, but here's the link. <A HREF="http://www.promom.org/">ProMoM Inc.*</A> (http://www.promom.org/) and their
3 minute activist is also great, anyone can do it and feel they've
contributed to positive change w/out getting too confrontational w/ 'experts', which can
be intimidating...
