Thyroid Balance: Traditional and Alternative Methods for Treating Thyroid Disorders

Rating:
Summary: Searching for Answers
Review: At the end of a long search for an answer to extreme fatigue, I found Thyroid Balance by Dr. Rothfeld. The language is clear and understandable, yet indepth and a little technical. This book spoke to me about my symptoms - there they were in print! And it gave enough detailed information to help me and my doctor determine the answer I'd been searching for. Very informative, analytical, easy to understand and follow, and a great resource for me.

Summary: Beware of this book!
Review: I browsed thru this book briefly, but what I did read let me know this book is a lemon. I could mention several points of misinformation in the little that I read, but I will only mention the statement that made my Gravesian eyes pop further out of my head. The last sentence in the segment about the antithyroid medication PTU says, 'Do not take PTU if you are pregnant or nursing.' The authors clearly are not aware that the treatment of choice for pregnant and breastfeeding women is PTU! If they don't know this fact, I would doubt any other information in the book. I wouldn't waste my money on it.

Summary: Great book!! Very informative and in-depth. A must have!
Review: I was diagnosed with Hashi's in September of 2002 and didn't know much about it. I looked at several books, but didn't learn much. I found this book and there is so much information. It is written in easy to understand language, and really goes deep into everything you ever wanted to know about the thyroid, treatments, and almost every other question something with their thyroid out of balance wants to know. This book is not just for people with Hashi's, but for everyone with their thyroid out of balance. I definitely recommend it.

Summary: Excellent layout of all Thyroid disorders and treatment
Review: This is a must have for anyone who thinks they might have thyroid problems and a must for those of you who have already been diagnosed and are still suffering, or not feeling good, like me. I recently found out I have Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism, Adrenal gland failure, and an enzyme deficeincy, all covered in this book... This is a must have before you see a doc.... -Kris Brunkhorst, Waverly, Iowa
