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

The most read book in my personal library! January 30, 2010
W. Swanson (Elgin, IL USA)
I am just buying the hardcover version today, as I have read, written in, highlighted, and just used the paperback version to death! The pages are falling out, and it's just not a complete book anymore! I love this book so much, because not only is it written by doctors I respect, but one of them, Karilee, is ALSO a thyroid PATIENT! She not only has a great education and knows a lot from that point of view, but she knows about this because she LIVES IT! This book is very thorough, yet easy as can be to understand. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT IT BEING TO HARD TO FOLLOW. NO PROBLEMS THERE! You will come away from it feeling like there is something you can do, and there are people you can contact if necessary. They even give you different foods that are good and bad, so all aspects are covered! I like several thyroid books out in the stores right now, but I would absolutely start here! You won't be sorry!
