Book Reviews of Hypothyroidism: The Unsuspected Illness

Book Review: The real way to evaluate hypothyroidism.
Summary: 5 Stars

I read this book 2 years ago. I suspected I had hypothyroidism for years but the tests were negative. For the 4th time I talked a doctor into testing them again when I told them about this book and my low body temperature. The T3 and T4 were normal but the TSH was slightly elevated. I started on 1/2 grain of Armour thyroid and increased it incrementally over a year to 4 grains. My temperature is a little low, BUT:
1) my horrible life long constipation problem is gone in 3 days.
2) my sinus infection of 30 years duration cleared in 3 months.
3) my migraine headaches that were severe for many years disappeared.
4) my sleep apnea went away, and I dream for the first time in 20 years without a C-PAP
5) my hypertension of 150/105 on 3 strong hypertensive drugs X2 daily, now 105/65 without anything, but thyroid.
6) my anxiety and depression is gone
7) I have type II diabetes, thyroid does not help this but Dr. Barnes points out that the complications of hypothyroidism are the same as those of diabetes. In about 2000 hypothyroid patients, his diabetics had none of the complications of diabetes. This is incredible. Controlling hypothyroidism eliminates the complications of diabetes.

I am a lasik surgeon and I think it is sad that our doctors are addicted to lab tests and have forgotten how to be a clinician. To find a doctor who has read this book is amazingly rare. This is the most important book I have read in my lifetime.

Summary of Hypothyroidism: The Unsuspected Illness

Of all the problems that can affect physical or mental health, none is more common than thyroid gland disturbance. None is more readily and inexpensively corrected. And none is more often untreated, and even unsuspected.

Hypothyroidism -- low thyroid function -- is one of the gland disturbances that many people suffer from without even realizing it. It can be the cause of low energy or constant fatigue that is one of the most common complaints brought to doctors. It may be responsible for chronic headaches, repeated infections, unyielding skin problems, or circulatory difficulties. Even more frightening, it can be a major factor in heart disease, lung cancer, and emphysema. And it is responsible for many emotional and mental disturbances. Hypothyroidism: The Unsuspected Illness explains low thyroid function in easy, understandable language. It tells how it may be affecting your health and your life.

Dr. Broda Barnes and Lawrence Galton tell what the thyroid gland is, how it works, the problems its dysfunction can induce. They detail case histories of patients, often thought hopeless, whose problems were discovered to be related to hypothyroidism and were cured by Dr. Barnes's simple effective techniques. And they discuss whether you too may be hypothyroid, affected by a condition even a physician may not recognize.

Included is a simple test you can make at home to discover if hypothyroidism may be the real, previously unsuspected cause of your ill health.

If you know you are hypothyroid, Hypothyroidism: The Unsuspected Illness will answer your questions about your condition. If you suspect you maybe, if you are unsure what may be causing those chronic headaches, infections, fatigue and low energy, it may help you find the answer.
