Format:Paperback
This book is a giant leap ahead of the rest of the field. While other books address the symptoms of thyroid deficiency in people with hypothyroidism, or more specifically, Hashimoto's, this book addresses the actual cause of them.
With an unparalleled depth of knowledge on this subject, the author has managed to include pretty much everything you need to know. The most important being that Hashimoto's is an immune disease, NOT a thyroid disease so you have to treat it as such.
Conventional medicine says that taking thyroid hormones is the answer, it's true that it might eliminate some of the symptoms but this does nothing to halt the auto-immune attack on your thyroid gland.
I have suffered with thyroid problems for years and this book has already changed my life. I know that blood tests can be expensive but some of the recommendations written cost absolutely nothing with something as simple as a diet change can have amazing results.
The whole book is well written, in a way that never makes you feel overwhelmed but always makes you feel like you are learning something. There are a couple of points that stand out as pure genius for me: where the author identifies the 6 patterns of low thyroid function and how to find them on a blood test and the 22 patterns of low thyroid function.
This book covers such a vast array of subjects, it's hard to believe it's all crammed into 300+ pages.
For less than £10 this book is incredible value. Are you going to get another 10 years down the line with no significant improvements in your health when all it might have took was a spending a few pounds on a single book?

This book is revolutionary and if you have a good G.P. buy it for them. Although it can get complicated at times, it is easy enough to follow the recommendations and get results.
Definitely worth the money I spent. If you led an active life before your thyroid problems then you must get this book. I won't say it has cured me as I think my condition is too far gone but the results so far have been amazing. We need more people who take a non conventional approach to medical treatments in the U.K.

I bought this book after reading some raving reviews and looking forward to discover the "revolutionary" approach of this book.
I found the book rather disappointing.
Most of the time the author refers to the patient as a "she", forgetting that there are a lot of men suffering of thyroid problems too. And this small pronoun imprecision is a precursor to the shortfalls of the book.
The only interesting aspect of the book is the fact that the author rightly points to the fact that patients suffering from Hashimoto (autoimmune thyroiditis) have, above all, an immune system problem rather than a thyroid problem. But he fails to give any sensible and detailed explanation on how to address such immune system issues. That is, if we exclude a short list of antioxidant supplement that he recommends. Although it becomes soon clear that the aim is for the patients to make a private appointment with him (never mind that a lot of readers are UK-based and he is in the US) in order to buy his own supplement products.
The tests that the author recommends to determine TH1/TH2 relative strenght, are not practical to obtain under NHS nor privately. And, at the end of the day, he himself seems to imply there is no much point getting them done given he says that in his own private experience 90% of patients with thyroid problems fall into the same category (i.e. TH1 dominants).
I found the book very light on the medical side, often lacking structure (providing readers with lists is not giving the book any structures!) and a marketing exercise for the author's own practice.
By being wholly, imprecise and lacking structure, unfortunately the book fails to dissipate the usual criticism to alternative medicine. In this case, I would argue, rightly so.

Pseudoscience and marketing
This book promises new tests - which may or may not provide consistent results - basically you have to go to the website, pay a practitioner and buy the untested products. Read more

complicated but useful
If taking natural thyroid still leaves you with a number of symptoms, it is an autoimmune disease, not a primary thyroid problem, claims this book. Read more
