3.0 out of 5 stars
Informative but biased,
By Esther "avid reader" (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Thyroid Sourcebook (5th Edition) (Paperback)
This book provides good information on how the thyroid works but the author is very biased against Armour types of medication. She states that if you are treated for thyroid, have a TSH in the normal range, and still have symptoms - then the symptoms are caused by something else. How arrogant and inaccurate! I'm not anti-synthroid but know many doctors out there don't properly prescribe by TSH (target .5-2.0) and T4 (target upper half of range) and many people end up under-treated for years.

Disappointed,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Thyroid Sourcebook (Paperback)
After reading this book and comparing it to Dr. Arem's book The Thyroid Solution and another book for Graves Disease called Graves Disease; A Practical Handbook; I found this book to be lacking in how it was presented, ease in understanding and resourcefullness.
