This doesn't make sense. How could she be under producing and overproducing
(engorgement) at the same time? Would it be worth a try in my situation?>>

Lynn,
I was responding to Kate, who had copied this from Dr. Mercola's site. My
point was to respond in general to the idea of the usefullness of EFA's, in
my experience, not any particular comment by Dr. Mercola. Since he is not an
LC,  I might guess, though, that he might have used inaccurate terminology.
