Clearly written with a touch of humor, this book is a valuable resource for anyone suffering from hypothyroidism. It provides useful information and expands on the ideas and concepts in Ms. Rosenthals's earlier book, the Thyroid Sourcebook. Ms. Rosenthal describes the symptoms of hypothyroidism and helps the reader distinguish between this ailment and others which physicians might misdiagnose. The book explains the impact on the body of hypothyroidism and offers both conventional and unconventional ideas for the hypothyroid patient to deal with this illness. There are suggestions for diet, exercise, herbal and other ways to deal with the problems this condition causes. A lengthy appendix with a wide variety of valuable resources helps make this an important book to own.

Not as in depth as some of the other books, but had some valuable information for me. Worked really well in conjunction with other in depth books.

I think I was most afraid to get a out of date book that wasn't up with the times. But after learning about Hypothyroidism I knew that this book and the basics are really up to date and while there is alot of new information coming to light about Thyroid issues even my Drs are not as up to date on that as I would like them to be. If you want to know what your Drs know get this book.

The Hypothyroid Sourcebook is excellent and offers quick, but pertinent, information to the reader to determine if she/he needs to seek further knowledge or consult medical help. I found it to be very helpful in affirming my belief that I indeed did have a problem that needed to be checked out with a health practitioner. I recommend this book highly.

Very informative book and also had a humorous side to it. I liked it immediately.
