Customer Reviews

Book in a chatty style that covers most o fthe points
This book covers most of the areas of interests for anyone interested in the subject. However most of the sections are light in information when compared to other books. For example the section on treatment just covers taking 'thyroid hormone' rather than exploring what options exist and who they might benefit. Depression and mental conditions are barely covered. Choose 'The Thyroid Solution' by Ridha Arem if you want a thorough explanation of the subject

extremly informative
This book opened up a world of information to understanding and solving the mystery associated with hypothroidism. As the book states it can be a difficult disease to diagnois, but hopefully this book will help those afflicted get the medical attention they need.

the books you MUST read instead:
The MUST-READ book on low thyroid is "Stop the Thyroid Madness", passionate and comprehensive. I also recommend the book "Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can't Live Without It" by Brownstein via Amazon.com

Now also recommending the even newer "Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms?" which explains that if taking natural thyroid still leaves you with a number of symptoms, it is an autoimmune disease, not a primary thyroid problem. Based thoroughly on scientific research, this new book gives the low down on what your doctor never hears at his/her pharmaceutical sponsored education events.

However, the latest miracle cure worth investigating is claimed to be high-dose Vitamin D3 which apparently can cure cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, bone density issues, arthritis, flu, muscle pain, chronic pain, fatigue, seasonal (and other) depression and various autoimmune disorders. Anyone living above the 35th parallel (England runs from the 50th upwards) is highly likely to have a sunshine/vit D deficiency that can also lead to many common symptoms. Those who react badly to Vitamin D and/or sunshine may need the Marshall Protocol.
