What happened to Chistiane Northrup, M.D., to make her think she had to cut herself, dye and straighten her hair, and tart herself up to try to look 20 years younger? Wasn't this the smart doctor who wrote in her first book about the "toxic" nature of western medicine and all those nasty
toxic messages we receive as American women? Yet by the time she wrote
The Wisdom of Menopause, she can say with a straight [heh] face:
It seems to me that it is almost impossible to go through the normal process of facial aging in this culture and not wish that something could be done about certain parts of your face, especially the eyelids and jawline. If you're one of the lucky ones who really aren't at all bothered by sagging eyelids or jowls, bless you [you dumb shit]. If, however, you want an appearance-enhancing face-lift, eyelid surgery, skin peel, liposuction, laser surgery, or other cosmetic polishing of your exterior, then bless you, too. Through the years I've referred many patients for various plastic surgery or dermatological procedures. Just about 100 percent of them have been thrilled with the results.
And there you have it. I guess she thought nobody would buy her products (
Team Northrup, anyone?) if she looked old. That's real wisdom.
