Product Description

Thyroid hormones are important to the functioning of a healthy body; but when the thyroid gland supplies too much, too little, or stops producing these vital hormones, many problems can occur. Women make up almost 80 percent of thyroid disorder patients; and when the thyroid gland starts to malfunction the repercussions for women are particularly serious.

M. Sara Rosenthal, the acclaimed author of The Thyroid Sourcebook, focuses on the thyroid's effect on the body, what treatments are available, and how to cope effectively with a chronic thyroid condition.

About the Author

M. Sara Rosenthal is the author of several women's health books including The Thyroid Sourcebook, The Gynecological Sourcebook, and The Breast Sourcebook.

3.0 out of 5 stars For newly diagnosed thyroid patients, Aug 28 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Thyroid Sourcebook for Women (Paperback)

This book is a good read for those newly diagnosed to thyroid disease. It offers the basic information on thyroid disease (Are you hyper or hypo, symptoms, medication, etc.) without overwhelming the reader. The author is very precise in her explanations also. For those of you looking for answers to more challenging and complex thyroid problems, this would NOT be the book to buy. It doesn't challenge any of the current practices and assumes that you have a simple problem that one pill will cure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thyroid Sourcebook by Rosenthal, Jan 22 2004

Joseph S. Maresca "Dr. Joseph S. Maresca CPA,... (Bronxville, New York USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Thyroid Sourcebook for Women (Paperback)

This is an excellent book which describes classic thyroid
problems and a variety of solutions. Goitrogens are contained
in cabbage, cauliflower, turnips, almonds and fiber.
People living in North America get natural iodine
in their diets. The thyroid makes T3 and T4 cells. The
parathyroid controls calcium regulation. Hyperthyroidism
produces anxiety, diarrhea, easy bruising, increased gland
size, eye problems, exhaustion, heat intolerance and
palpitations, infertility, menstrual changes, muscle weakness,
paralysis and tremors. Hypothyroidism causes cardio changes,
cold intolerance, digestive changes, fatigue, muscle cramps, numbness and autoimmune deficiencies. The Endocrine Society
is listed at 4350 East West Hwy. -Suite 500 Bethesda MD 20814-4410 at Tel 301-941-0200

Overall, this work is excellent for anyone desiring quality
information on the functioning of the thyroid gland. It should
be in every personal health library.

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Thyroid Sourcebook for Women (Paperback)

Very nice easy to read book about Thyroid and practical explanations, symptoms and questions about related issues once the illness is is established, such as selecting doctors, understanding what they say, etc. It is not
written for Medical Students although it helps to any student in the way how to communicate with patients.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too Basic
This book is far too basic, with information easily found by a quick internet search. Scarce on facts and high on opinion, this book was clearly written with someone unfamiliar... Read more
