Best book I've ever read on the thyroid AND MORE - better than JAMA or New England Journal of Med or Endo's newsletter. ANYONE can read EASILY and understand this book. Well written, well laid out and I've learned alot. Because of my respect for Mary Shomon, I've made appts. w/a Holistic MD and and Endo - and will be going with my pages filled out! Thank you Mary for making this dis-ease easier to understand and life with!

This is very good, but I found a website even better... April 9, 2008

It is sad but true that much in this book contains info your doctor probably never bothered to tell you, like how unreliable blood tests can be, how synthetic thyroid is NOT as good as natural and how soy and other goitrogens can wreck your health if you are hypothyroid. Someone who gave a negative review said you can find all this info online. Maybe so. But I wish I had had the book first, as I would have learned, a lot faster, many vital things I needed to know. I also have to recommend the [...] website called Stop The Thyroid Madness, and Source Naturals bovine thyroid glandulars. (Perhaps in addition to your prescription, just watch your temp and blood pressure.) If your blood tests say you are fine and you feel awful, don't trust them for a minute. Find out about temperature and pulse tests, experiment and read up until you feel good. You don't have to suffer! You may need (over the counter) Isocort for your adrenals. The blood tests for adrenal function aren't perfected yet, and many people with thyroid problems have adrenal problems...
Also, if you do pretty much all that is in this book, you might look for a doctor who can check your hormonal, vitamin and mineral levels. Could be life changing. Your thyroid gland pretty much runs all your glands.
You need to do all you can to get it as healthy as possible.

If You Feel your doctor's not getting the picture... February 24, 2008

If you're being treated for hypothyroidism or even trying to get tested for it...and feel like no one's listening, this is the book for you. I flailed around trying to figure my Hashimoto's situation out, and finally, I stumbled on this book and blog. With thyroid disease, you often have to push and advocate for yourself, as doctors aren't always up on the newest research. This book will show you how. EVERYONE who has a thyroid problem should read this. Empower yourself! Mary Shomon has a lot of personal experience and has the intelligence to pull all the research together.
I particularly recommend this book for anyone trying to get pregnant. The thyroid is so important for fertility AND can have consequences for the baby.
