Editorial Review:

Dr. Starr has written a clear and understandable explanation of why so many people today are suffering from hypothyroidism, despite 'normal' blood tests that throw their doctors off the track. This book is a compilation of the overwhelming evidence that not only is the modern laboratory testing used to diagnose hypothyroidism completely inadequate, but also the current treatment for the illness is equally lacking efficacy.

for anyone with chronic health problems!:

I have seen well over a dozen books on thyroid. Too many contain mostly regurgitated conventional beliefs, a few were written mainly to sell the author's own nutrition products. Most insist thyroid medical tests are reliable. (How do they know this, anyway?)

Thank you, Dr. Starr, for you are a doctor who "gets it" and who makes complete sense!

The mother lode of information:

It helped me figure out why my doctors cannot seem to diagnose or treat my problems effectively. It is not easy reading, requires quiet concentration. Could have been more simply organized, but the valuable and potentially life-saving information within is well worth the effort. Have your highlighter and page markers ready!

If you are like me....:

If you are like me, never feeling "right" on your synthetic Thyroid hormone (mine was Synthroid) but your doctor insisting that your "levels are in the normal range" you MUST read this book. YOU ARE NOT CRAZY! Your blood tests can be normal, yet you are gaining weight, your hair is falling out by the handfuls and you are tired all the time. Get some help from an MD who will LISTEN to you and take you seriously instead of sounding like a broken record (your levels are in the normal range, your levels are in... more info
