Book Reviews of Your Thyroid and How to Keep It Healthy
Book Review: An essential book in my thyroid health library
Summary: 5 Stars
Although I was diagnosed with thyroid disease almost 20 years ago, it was only a year ago that I began learning about the effects of thyroid on so many other systems in the body, and what other things affect the disease as well as treatment.
Dr. Peatfield has been vilified by the medical community in his own country but thankfully has the courage to speak out. I thought the book was extremely well written, and broken down into concise chapters (I've abbreviated the titles):
1. Intro
2. How it Works
3. Over-active thyroid gland and treatment
4. Under-active thyroid gland
5. Hypothyroidism -Symptoms
6. Hypothyroidism - Signs
7. Iodine, Other Hormones and the Thyroid
8. The Adrenal Connection
9. Hypothyroidism - the Treatment
10. The Full Treatment Protocol
11. Reverse T3 and Wilson's Syndrome
12. The Parathyroid Glands
13. Chronic Fatigue and the Thyroid Factor
14. Thyroid and Diabetes
15. Thyroid and Cholesterol
16. Thyroid and Depression
17. Growth Hormone Saga
18. For Doctors
19. Helping Yourself
20. Losing Weight
Then there 5 appendices:
A. Dental Amalgam
B. Lists of Symptoms and Signs
C. Assessment Charts
D. Resources and Further Reading
E. References
As to the comment that there was not much information regarding dosing (I think the reviewer meant about for adrenal fatigue) since this is primarily a book about thyroid, I feel Dr. Peatfield gives a good background to BEGIN researching adrenal fatigue treatment. I didn't agree with every single thing in the book but I learned a great deal and use it for reference time and again. I learned about the interrelationship with other hormones. It also better prepared me to discuss my treatment with my doctor.
I think the following are other essential books for learning about thyroid disease:
- "Stop the Thyroid Madness" by Janie Bowthorpe
- "Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms" by Datis Kharrazian
- "Hypothyroidism Type 2: The Epidemic" by Mark Starr
and although I don't have it I'll probably next purchase Broda Barnes book, "Hypothyroidism: The Unsuspected Illness" as it probably is considered the groundbreaking authority on the subject.
I highly recommend Dr. Durrant-Peatfield's book.
