1.0 out of 5 stars DONT ' T BUY THIS BOOK ONLINE - you will be negatively supr, March 22, 2003

This review is from: How I Reversed My Hashimoto's Thyroiditis Hypothyroidism (Paperback)

It's a negative suprise!
Take a look in this book at a bookstore and you will see what I mean.
Part of what you pay for is an empty diary for the reader to fill in!!!???
In a way, that can be interpreted for a fraw.
If I need paper to use as a diary, I can buy that myself!
It was a negative suprise to find that as much as 60 pages of this little thin 115 pages book is just blank or empty "diary-pages for the reader to fill in!?

So what you buy is 40 pages about a man who didn't get the right diagnos, or maybee it's more correct to say; got the wrong diagnos. His doctor didn't take all test's that needs to be taken to give a diagnos as Hashimotos.

I mean, I didn't buy this book from the US, to be sent to me in Scandinavia, just to have 60 empty pages? I thougt I bought a book with a lot of new interesting information!? Suprise! There was nothing I didn't knew since before.
Most of the things he recommended I already did myself regarding nutrition and garlic, Omega oils. The discription above about this book and other peoples reviews, can give a false impression that it is a thick book or at least thick in that meaning, it contains a lot of essential information. I'm sorry I can't agree. In the end it's 2 blank pages and in the beginning it also has repeating pages with the title. Like they want to fill the book up with empty blank pages just to make it look thicker.
Another thing is that you can't give a diagnos like Hashimotos without doing biopsy. The lab needs to use a needle and take out material, cells, from the thyroid to see if it's really is a inflammation or not. He's gland was not swollen either so they couldn't see it that way. The antibodies test were maybe wrong, cause he only have antibodies once. Most of the people have a small amount even if they alright. And no one knows what the man's normal TSH is!? Maybe he is some of those that feel good in a higher level.

I have Hashimotos myself and if I wrote a book about it this diesease, I really couldn't neclect describing how I felt when I got it. He didn't seem to be affected at all! He continued with he's life and went to the gym and run marathon...forget it. That's impossible if you have untreated Hashimotos and really really have 700-something in antibodies. I don't buy this. If you really have 700 in antibodys you would feel extremly sick and just want to sleep, you loose so much enegy and you really are extremly week!
I want the money back! I feel cheeted

Almost nothing in this book. Drumroll, please, the author took...co-enzyme Q-10! The author also had nothing like the misery those of us who've had low thyroid for decades have experienced. This book hit the trash can.
