      No, thyroid disease is NOT due to an "energy blockage." Why am I not surprised that Northrup is spewing vitalistic nonsense?https://twitter.com/DrChrisNorthrup/status/1114612775429574656 …

      Quoth @DrChrisNorthrup: "Therefore, for many women, thyroid dysfunction develops because of an energy blockage in the throat region—the result of a lifetime of 'swallowing' the words one is aching to say." How can a physician write something with such ignorance of biology?🤦‍♂️

          She once suggested Oprah had that, you know, because Oprah is so bad at expressing herself. 😆

          "swallowing" a lifetime of misogynistic, dangerous and patriarchal snake oil is what came to my mind. It took me yrs to find a doctor who would treat my thyroid issue w/ respect, and it went undiagnosed until my 40's. She should just call women hysterical & be done with it.

          My Dad had Graves' disease. I suppose it was from decades of swallowing what he wanted to say to people. Oh, wait. Dad was a real estate broker and home builder. He made his living telling people good news.

          She is one of the reasons I can’t take Oprah seriously. For all the good Oprah has done for people, she also unleashed (directly or indirectly)Northrup, Oz, Mercola and Vani Hari on a vulnerable general public, and that is unforgivable.

          She’s done more bad than good, at least in respect to health & medicine. I always have questioned her intelligence simply b/c she falls for this pseudoscience crap. And asks Qs only someone w/zero knowledge would ask.
