Product Description

Product Description

With even more pages, a new chapter on foods and supplements, and additions throughout the entire book, this informative Second Edition of the ever-popular classic, "Stop the Thyroid Madness: A Patient Revolution Against Decades of Inferior Treatment", continues to break ground as the ONLY thyroid patient-to-patient book on the market. It addresses a 60+ year, international thyroid treatment scandal involving the use of T4-only medications like Synthroid and other T4-only meds, as well as the TSH lab test--both which have left hundreds of millions worldwide either undiagnosed or undertreated. It explains in detail: 1) what medications work far better and why; 2) which labwork is better than others, and how to read the results (i.e., it has nothing to do with just being "in range"); 3) how a huge body of thyroid patients fall into adrenal fatigue/HPA dysfunction as a result of poor treatment by doctors, plus what patients have learned in treating it; 4) a long list of causes of hypothyroidism; 5) cutting-edge treatment of Hashimotos's disease and gluten intolerance; 6) why patients need to be aware of Reverse T3, plus how to treat it; 7) how to discover and treat low levels of Vit. D, B12, ferritin and iron, iodine and more deficiencies which doctors can miss. As always, this "Bible of Thyroid Treatment", as successfully experienced by patients worldwide, strives to educate the reader in order to bring this on-going and scandal-breaking information into doctors offices worldwide, and create needed change.

Format:Paperback
This is one of the best books giving an insight into how there are other treatments for hypothyroidism if you are left feeling ill on the usual levothyroxine prescribed by your Dr. Janie explains about interpretation of the blood tests, how your symptoms of fatigue, aches and pains, athritis, and other nasty symptoms can remain under current treatment options and how many people on thyroid treatment end up on anti depressants, NSAIDs, blood pressure drugs, and many other drugs which are actually caused by the inferior treatment of their thyroid condition.
This book is a must have for anyone who is hypothyroid and feels that their health is still suffering even if they have decided that they will compromise because the Dr says 'it is not your thyroid' the common mantra by the health professionals of today. It is a book written by Janie a patient advocate with input by patients for other patients based on what they have learned during thier long journey to wellness by employing treatments which have been lost because of the lack of training Drs now recieve in clinical assessment and their being controlled by the insurance and trained in colleges funded mostly by pharmaceutical companies.
Try it you will be very surprised and it might be the new beginning you are looking for. It is for many of us.
Good luck

Believe me I have read many books about thyroid dysfunction over the last 10 years and this is the best for the lay person and anyone who is suffering from thyroid issues and wants to treat themselves rather than go through a doctor.

I am hypothyroid - confirmed by tests, but the doctor says I am normal. I decided to investigate further without them and first saw the website Stop the Thyroid madness on what to do next, I then bought the book, and I can honestly say that it was a great investment. I am now on the protocol that the book recommends - which has been devised from many patient avocates and I can honestly say that I have not felt better for years. Buy this book if you are hypothyroid and you want to feel better, by taking responsibility for your own health.

I have been battling for the last decade to get decent medical care with regards to my hypothyroidism, and was slowly sliding deeper and deeper into the murky depths that under-treated hypothyroidism can lead to. The weight gain, the constant aches and pains, not being able to walk any distance, not being able to exercise comfortably, hating being over-weight - despite every effort to eat properly, losing my hair, having swollen legs and feet - I could go on and on. Thanks to Janie, and the thousands of others who refuse to have their voices muted, there is finally light at the end of the tunnel!

Read this book, do what it takes to get yourself better, and then make your voice heard by joining me and many others online - if we shout loud enough, we CAN stop the thyroid madness!
