Review

In the latest title in the hugely successful What Your Doctor May Not Tell You series, Dr. Ken Blanchard introduces an unprecedented regimen for successfully diagnosing and treating the millions with hypothyroidism. --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

Product Description

A groundbreaking, proven approach for successfully dia--gnosing and treating the mil-lions with hypothyroidism. Depression, weight gain, fatigue, headaches, memory lapses, hair loss-these are just some of the vague, often debilitating symptoms that plaguethe more than 13 million patients with hypothyroidism. The typical blood test for diagnosis is often inaccurate, leaving many to suffer through ineffective treatment. But now, there is a solution: Dr. Blanchard's groundbreaking program draws on emerging research, medical facts, and three decades of clinical experiences as an endocrinologist. This individualized program uses questionnaires and charts to help diagnose sufferers through symptoms, not only lab results. It then treats patients of all ages with the safe but little used T3 hormone in combination with the more common T4 hormone. Also including specific nutritional advice and alternative treatments, this is the one program for sufferers of hypothyrodism that really works!

5.0 out of 5 stars If your thyriod meditcation doesn't seem to be working, read this book, October 3, 2005

By	lovetodance (Richmond, VA) - See all my reviews

I think this book shows the many complications with thyroid problems; one medicine does not fit all. I took the book to my last medical visit because my doctor is very open minded when it comes to discussing the complications of the condition and subsequent treatment, some of the scenarios in the book described my experience. I am now trying a different approach. This book may help a lot of people understand why even though they are taking medication for thyroid complications, they are still not feeling as good as they should. It made a difference for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars If You're Hypothyroid--Or Think You May Be--Buy This Book!, June 21, 2004

By A Customer

This book will change your life--for the better. Dr. Blanchard is hypothyroidism's Number One Top Doc, and if you can't get in to see him in person, the next best thing is this book. Even if you have the good fortune to see him in person, this book is a godsend.

Kenneth Blanchard, M.D. knows just how to treat hypothyroidism, and in this book presents his methods for managing medication, weight, and energy.

I've bought four copies already--one for me, and the rest for my many hypothyroid friends. I plan to buy more, and I invite you to check it out yourselves. Every hypothyroid person (and their families) can benefit from his excellent, innovative approach to a widespread problem.

Kudos, Dr. Blanchard!

By	K. Ernst (Iowa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just what to say thanks for writing the book. I learned a lot about hypothroidism. I'v had it for 10 years. I never new about T3 free. Now I have read more books on thryroid problems. This one is the best. It really tells it like it is. Great information, and what you need to do to get better. All I can say is just read it you will be surprised.
