Summary: Best book on Thyroid function for layman
Review: A family history of thyroid imbalance had me checking thyroid from early twenties to cope with infertility, depression, et al. I've watched my thyroid values climb and plummet throughout the past 15 years. When thyroid values 'normal' by establishment I was given antidepressant (TSH value was 3.0+). It didn't change symptoms. At 40 years, my TSH value walked out of 'norm' and I was given thyroid hormone. I hadn't felt so well since I was 25!

This book includes many charts and values of tests, how to interpret results of tests, diet for optimum health, etc. His book was a great help in understanding my condition. Depression cleared, memory restored, fatigue gone since on thyroid hormone.

I'm at the airport posting this review and looking forward to my long flight now that I have this book. Halfway through I simply cannot put it down.[...]

Dr. Arem's information enabled me to become a participant in my healthcare--not a sickly compliant. Thank you Dr. Arem!

Summary: The thyroid solution
Review: I was recently diagnosed with a thyroid nodule. I then purchased the Thyroid Solution. When my thyroid was removed and found to be hurthle cell carcinoma, I was able to better understand what my Dr explained to me. This book was wonderful and extremely helpful. Now I wish I could find out more about Hurthle cell carcinoma. CMMitchell

Summary: A Must Read for Hypothyroid Patients & their Physicians
Review: I was recently diagnosed with hypothyroid disease. This is the most informative book I have read. I highly recommend this book written for patients and then to provide to their primary care physicians. I wished I had read this book years ago and would not have suffered as long as I did. Five Stars and thank you Dr. Amen.

Summary: An Essential
Review: This book was purchased on the advice of a friend. She was familiar with the symptoms of thyroid disease and recognized that I had a few. I read most of it BEFORE I met with my regular physician so that I would know exactly what tests to insist upon. To make a long story short... it was an essential part of my solution! Within about 3 weeks I was diagnosed w/hypothyroidism, then Hashimotos, then thyroid cancer! I've personally met Dr. Arem and he has a wealth of knowledge and experience as well as a keen ability to help people suffering from the effects of a less than perfect thyroid! His book is a great place to start if you suspect you may have a thyroid problem or just want to take the proper steps to rule out the possibility.

Summary: Inform Yorself
Review: This book was very informative and easy to read. If you have been looking for answers to your thyroid issues- this is it. After seeing several doctors and endocronoligist and getting no relief, I found a doctor willing to share Dr. Arem's beliefs of T3 protocal. Armed with the knowledge of this book, I was able to talk to my doctor and understand what my body was going through. You need to know that Synthroid is not the only answer and this book gives you those facts.
