Amazon.com Review
Depressed, overworked, or just feelin' old are common enough complaints. But when disparate symptoms such as joint pain, weight gain, and foggy-headedness join the ranks, it's time to think thyroid. As the "throttle" for the body's energy hormones, the thyroid affects every organ and cell; when it's in trouble, any variety of ailments--physical and mental--can occur. Trouble is, physicians are more likely to treat each symptom independently, with pill upon pill, rather than search for a root cause. Bolstered by 25 years of treating patients with low thyroid condition, husband-and-wife team Richard L. Shames, M.D., and Karilee H. Shames, R.N., Ph.D., ably explain the physical and emotional profiles of those diagnosed with the disease, why the proverbial deck is stacked against them, and how each patient can forge an effective path of treatment. "Consider Thyroid Power a long, personal visit with a caring, prevention-oriented practitioner," state the authors. The journey begins with thyroid basics: how this little hormone-producing tissue operates, signs that things are amiss, how other illnesses compound the problem, and how to determine one's risk for hypothyroidism. Next, the Shameses discuss the labyrinth of diagnostic and treatment issues a patient must endure. Helpful and harmful supplements and environmental factors, repairing the immune system (the origin of thyroid troubles), and a rich, sensitive exploration of holistic healing nicely round out this valuable resource. A brief section titled "Show This to Your Doctor," penned by Richard, perfectly crystallizes the book and provides an effective tool for initiating a patient/physician dialogue. --Liane Thomas |

Everything You Wanted to Know About Your Thyroid But Didn't Know Who To Ask by O. Brown (Twopeas, WA) 5 Stars
February 23, 2009
*****
This is an excellent book by an MD and an RN/PhD about a controversial subject---thyroid problems and how to treat them, especially low thyroid. It covers diagnosis, testing, treatment, adrenals, natural therapies, and more--really, everything you'd want to know. Parts of this book are fairly technical, and I glossed over some of these, but read closely the parts that related to my particular problems.
I think that if you suspect you have a thyroid problem, or you know that you do, and especially if you aren't finding the support you need in the conventional medical establishment, this book will be a support for you. Hypothyroidism diagnosis and treatment is very controversial, and this book covers the controversy, including all of the various viewpoints.
I gave the book 4 stars instead of 5 because it is just a tad dated (2002) and could potentially have included more footnotes (although there were many, I'd have liked even more). Still, I do think it is probably the best book currently available, thus the 4 star rating.
Recommended.
