Living Well with Hypothyroidism: What Your Doctor Doesn’t Tell You… That You Need to Know
I’ve had an underactive thyroid since I was a teen. Always had trouble with weight, dry skin, hair. However, these problems are mostly hereditary in my family, with or without a thyroid problem. Her book is wordy and forgets to get to the point. She make hypothyroidism sound like a critical illness. Bet she could have put this book into a 30 page pamphlet. I kept falling asleep trying to read it.

This book is merely a regurgitation of information presented in previous books and readily available on the internet. In fact all the pertinent information is on the author’s website. There is no need to buy the book.
The focus of the book is on diagnosing more borderline cases and unresolved symptoms and treating them with synthroid and other drugs. While drug treatment may be appropriate for some patients, others would be better served by non-drug treatment. The drug treatment focus is evident in many of the reviews extolling the author for getting them on one drug or another.

Well, I’m dissapointed. Most of the facts are available elswhere. One can feel clearly that the author is not a doctor.
As a patient, I would prefer professional opinion.
Hypothyrosis can mimic symptoms of so many other diseases. Therefore this book is aimed at an average hypochondriac readers who encounter common symptoms such as weight gain or loss, cold intolerance, yellowish or pale skin, hoarse voice etc as a tool to verify if they could be hypothyroid. Well, you have to do a thyroid hormones test then.
If you want comprehensive info from experts, I suggest you order THE THYROID SOLUTION by Ridha Arem
Easy to read and to the point.
