Customer Reviews

Lots of great info that is not out of date.

I think I was most afraid to get a out of date book that wasn't up with the times. But after learning about Hypothyroidism I knew that this book and the basics are really up to date and while there is alot of new information coming to light about Thyroid issues even my Drs are not as up to date on that as I would like them to be. If you want to know what your Drs know get this book.

Pretty good resource

Not as in depth as some of the other books, but had some valuable information for me. Worked really well in conjunction with other in depth books.

Great reference book

Very informative book and also had a humorous side to it. I liked it immediately.

A Welcome Addition to the Literature About Hypothyroidism

Clearly written with a touch of humor, this book is a valuable resource for anyone suffering from hypothyroidism. It provides useful information and expands on the ideas and concepts in Ms. Rosenthals's earlier book, the Thyroid Sourcebook. Ms. Rosenthal describes the symptoms of hypothyroidism and helps the reader distinguish between this ailment and others which physicians might misdiagnose. The book explains the impact on the body of hypothyroidism and offers both conventional and unconventional ideas for the hypothyroid patient to deal with this illness. There are suggestions for diet, exercise, herbal and other ways to deal with the problems this condition causes. A lengthy appendix with a wide variety of valuable resources helps make this an important book to own.
