Summary: I'm not Crazy, I really do have a thyroid problem!!!!!!
Review: Excellent source for the lay person on diagnosing your hypothyroidism and understanding why standard thyroid test are not always "right". Easy to follow instruction and a lot of common sense application. Not for the purest as it is not scientific enough. This book helped to improve my quality of life and got me and my doctor on the right track to treating my disease. Have recommended this book to many friends and gave a copy to my doctor.

Summary: This book changed my life
Review: I am SO glad I got this book; I was sick with unknown things and problems from chronic fatigue to being overweight for all my life. A hospital doctor told me about this book particularly; He has hypothyroidism himself and when I was in the ER with something else (Turned out to be urinary tract infection) he told me I had all the symptoms of it, and he gave me the title of this book. It's such a relief to know that the doctors calling me a hypochondriac for all these years were full of BS and were just sadly uneducated about this illness. This is just a great book and really thuroughly explains hypothyroidism, causes, effects, symptoms, treatments, etc etc, I could go on and on. Great book. Get it!

Summary: Excellent! for everyone suffering hypothyroid problems!
Review: I found answers in this book that confirmed my suspicions of just how important the thyroid is & that just because your Dr. tells you your blood tests are 'in the normal range', it doesn't mean you fit into that range. I will recommend this book to people suffering other ailments as well. Why aren't our Dr.'s giving us this info?! Are you having trouble losing weight? Read this book immediately!

Summary: Sage Advice for Today's Illnesses
Review: I have bought this book for myself and my daughter and her family. It supports everything I have been learning about the "well" functioning body without going "California". Dr. Barnes is not advocating that we need to live on another planet or eat seeds and twigs, to begin to heal. He even gives us a simple home test to provide us with the amo, when dealing with reluctant doctors. He includes the entire family, small children, teenager, adults, males and females. No one is exempt from his studies and results. I recommend it highly. It's good old fashion, sage advice for today.

Summary: A firm believer of Dr. Barnes' theory
Review: I have successfully used Dr. Barnes' method for over thirty years. During that time, for a brief period, a new Doctor changed my medication to Synthroid and only followed thyroid blood test results. This change was disasterous and caused me serious health problems. I am now working with a Doctor who believes in his theory and I am back to following Dr. Barnes' method and will not change. It is sad that modern medicine does not learn from the past.

Summary: A Personal Testimonial (With Many Thanks)
Review: I highly recommend Dr. Broda Barnes' book based on my family's personal experience with its author and his groundbreaking work. I first heard of Dr. Barnes and his theories on the importance of hypothyroid diagnosis and treatment back in the 1970's, when he was semi-retired and living in Fort Collins, Colorado. My mother, then in her late 50's, asked him to see her when her doctor was unable to diagnose or treat her numerous symptoms adequately. I went with her. After thoroughly examining her, her history, her blood work and the basal body temperature chart she'd kept beforehand at his request, Dr. Barnes prescribed hypothyroid medication and also made dietary suggestions that were decades ahead of their current popularity. He also gave her a copy of his then just-published book, which he inscribed to her. Within weeks, my mother's health and body shape were back to normal. We both stayed in touch with Dr. Barnes until his death. Today (2004), my 86-year-old mom is healthy, slim, active and still taking that same medication. She plays 18 holes of golf twice a week and walks the entire course. She still has Dr. Barnes' signed book; in fact, she takes it with her to appointments whenever a doctor mentions changing her prescription from natural to synthetic compounds. I am now the same age my mother was when Dr. Barnes attended her and showing the same symptoms she had then. I'm so glad to find his book still in print. I've just ordered my own copy so I can help my doctor recognize the most probable cause quickly and easily. With luck, I'll be playing golf with my mother again soon. Dr. Barnes, you and your work live on in your excellent and highly readable book. Thank you for all you have done for my mother and for many, many others.

Summary: A useful, though incomplete sourcebook.
Review: I imagine this book was ground-breaking in it's time. Broda is clearly an perserverant and impassioned researcher. I appreciated the validating narratives describing various individuals dealing with thyroid dyfuntion. While the book deals extensively with the various symptoms less commomly associated with thyroid dyfunction, it failed to adequately cover the various kinds and causes of dyfunction.
