    Having Hypothyroidism and being a massive book nerd, this tome seemed like the perfect go-to reference guide, chock-full of useful information that I'd use over and over again. Sadly, it is not. While it's certainly well-written and has a lot of information, being a massage therapist and using CAM as my main source of healthcare for most of my life, there didn't seem to be much here that was new or exciting for me to read about. (Years ago I had given up trying to "fight" my doctor to give my a thyroid test, and after FIVE YEARS of doing so finally did, or of her giving me something else beside telling me to take a pill and that even though my bloodwork tested in the "normal" range it brought me no relief - perhaps I just had a "bad" doctor, but I'm sure I'm not the only one with this experience - there was no sympathetic or understanding ear to be found, and no further help offered.) I suspect I'm in the minority here with this book, but there you have it. If you suspect you might have this condition, or if you have no information readily available to you on the topic, this would be the perfect book. As for me, since I have a fairly large group of intelligent alternative healthcare professionals in my address book, I'll keep looking for that perfect hypothyroid reference guide.

    A definite must read if you have hypothyroidism. I personally was diagnosed long before I read this book, but frankly it opened my eyes to what was really happening to my body. This disease reaches more areas of your body and your life than you can ever really fathom. And I KNOW you will find something in it that your doctor has conveniently left out of his consultations with you. I now recommend all my friends get their thyroid checked first if they find themselves tired all the time, or depressed, or if they are just always cold. These are GIANT warning signs. This book changed the way I interact with my doctor.
