Book Description

July 6, 2006
Inadequate thyroid function, since it decreases the metabolism, the body's energy is a major contributing factor to most health problems. Hypothyroidism is often undiagnosed since an important cellular control system exists which is not picked up by the ususal blood tests for hypothyroidism.

About the Author

Philip Young MD has an unusual background. Born in Burma of missionary parents, he grew up along the Burma-China border. As a four year old he fled the Japanese occupation of Burma, walking over the hump into India, then traveling by boat around Africa to New York in the midst of furious submarine activity. Returning to the border area, he lived in China after the Communist take over in 1949 for nine months, leaving in the midst of a local rebellion against that regime.

He graduated from the University of Nebraska College of Medicine in 1963 and spent a couple of years in the Navy off Viet Nam as that war was beginning to escalate. Following a surgery residency he helped start a small mission hospital in the Philippines on the island of Palawan.

Returning to the U.S. in 1977, he became interested in the thyroid gland due to health problems in his own family. He has been studying the thyroid gland since 1979. Now living in Eaton, Colorado, he is largely engaged in writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thyroid Guardian of Health, January 7, 2008
By 
Kailani Gerych (Cowen, WV. United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Thyroid Guardian of Health (Paperback)
I do not have a functioning thyroid gland due to radio active iodine obliterating my gland - a proceedure i needed to have - to destroy the pre-cancerous nodules which started growing. I was told back then - 30 years ago - that i needed to take synthroid for the rest of my life. however, taking that little pill daily has not always paved a smooth road for me, as often i have health issues with my thyroid and my TSH numbers are often way out of whack - anyway, having to deal with hypothyroidism for most of my adult life, i see a doctor regularly and i also appreciate reading good, informative books about the thyroid. i found this book to be just that and have added it to my library and would recommend it to others.

5.0 out of 5 stars I think I get it!, September 13, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Thyroid Guardian of Health (Paperback)
I bought this book for my daughter in New York. Too many of the health issues she is dealing with sound like low thyroidism to me, though she has never been treated for it. I wanted her to become more knowledgeable, so I sent her the book. We have to know our bodies and accept responsiblity for our health. We need to look until we find doctors willing to work with us.
