I have loaned this book to my nurse practitioner. I am an R.N. myself and have been telling MDs for yrs what's wrong with me!! Too many specialists to mention. Everyone should read this book. Doctor's need to open their eyes, start LISTENING to their patients and stop throwing medications at them! Great book! ]]> Tue, 09 Nov 2010 19:54:57 +0000 2512-472 http://www.ei-resource.org/related-conditions-books/thyroid-disorders/hypothyroidism-type-2:-the-epidemic/ I heard about Dr. Mark Starr and his book on Coast to Coast, this guy really knows his stuff and Hypothyroidism. If you are small business owner or have a high demand job and over 35 yrs old, get your thyroid checked. And don't always go along what your doctor says if you have it to take the medical, read this book and give it to your doctor before going on a T4 medication, this book will make it a lot easier understanding the facts about hypothroidism. Thanks Matt for putting this review up, people need to buy this book, it can change your life for the better knowing more about your thyroid, thanks. ]]> Thu, 11 Mar 2010 20:57:31 +0000 1263-57 http://www.ei-resource.org/related-conditions-books/thyroid-disorders/your-thyroid-and-how-to-keep-it-healthy/ Low thyroid function is often suggested as a contributing factor in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and fibromyalgia. This is a controversial area however as most mainstream doctors refuse to acknowledge the role of the thyroid in these conditions. The confusion is mostly a result of the standard thyroid blood tests which a growing number of doctors feel are inadequate and don't show a problem even when the patient is showing all the symptoms of low thyroid function and may respond to a trial of treatment. Dr. Burrant-Peatfield became disenchanted with general practice in the UK as he found he was unable to help a growing number of patients by following standard practices. He went into private practice and began to specialize in diagnosing and treating thyroid and adrenal problems. This is the second edition of his comprehensive guide to these problems. This is a great book for anybody suffering from CFS or fibromyalgia, as well as those suffering from unexplained tiredness, stress and depressed mood. The book covers the thyroid in detail, discussing the various thyroid hormones, the nutrients needed for their production, and the symptoms of thyroid hormone deficiency. Dr. Durrant-Peatfield then explains the issues surrounding testing in detail, educating the reader about how to make sure they get the correct testing from their doctor. The final section looks at holistic treatment of thyroid problems. The book also looks at deficiency of adrenal hormones such as DHEA and cortisol and how adrenal dysfunction is connected to dysfunction of the thyroid. The book explains that these two glands work as a team so when things go wrong attention needs to be paid to both in order for the patient to be treated successfully. This is a fantastic book that I would highly recommend to anyone who thinks their health problems are related to the thyroid (and adrenal glands). Armed with this reference you will be able to request the appropriate testing and take effective action to improve your health. ]]> Tue, 16 Oct 2007 19:09:30 +0000
