Thyroid problems affect an estimated one in three of the adult population, yet they are difficult to diagnose on the basis of blood tests and often go undiagnosed for many year. This is the second, greatly updated and revised, edition of Dr Durrant-Peatfield's practical guide to recognizing the signs and symptoms of thyroid disease and to treating the problem with diet and natural supplements, in conjunction with modern western drugs and surgery when really necessary.

I bought this book on the recommendation of a friend. I've felt for a long time I've got all the symptoms of hypothyroidism but blood tests came back 'normal'. Dr Peatfield explains clearly & precisely why the standard tests are inadequate and tells you how to scientifically diagnose hypothyroidism yourself and possible alternatives with regards to treatment.
I would recommend anyone who suspects they have a thyroid related condition to read this book.It takes you step by step through the physiology (even I could follow this), why things go wrong, signs and symptoms and treatment. It gave me the confidence to go back to my doctor armed with tests I had done myself. I have felt more enpowered about my situation since reading the book as I feel informed (probably better informed than many GP's on this particualr issue)and confident that even if I cannot get treatment via my GP (who insists I go back for more blood tests even though I've had more sensitive tests done myself) I know where I can go to get the treatment I need to ensure my condition does not get any worse.

This book is excellent in the way it is written and the life saving content. After reading the book I also consulted with Dr. Peatfield, who is an exceptional, insightful and very kindly gentleman. Like many others I have suffered at the hands of the NHS for over 30 years (was put on thyroxin 20 years ago with no benefit) and now feel very hopeful as I embark on the adrenal support followed by the Armour thyroid. It is tragic and shocking that the General Medical Council so restricts G.P's today and I hope and pray that individuals will one day receive the treatment they rightly deserve and so badly need via their NHS G.P's. For years I have tried to tell G.P.'s the problem was my thyroid but as related by Dr. Peatfield in this book, if blood tests look normal they do not see the possibility of the synthetic thyroxin not actually working for the patient despite ongoing symptoms, which eventually leads to adrenal fatigue. The reasons are all very clearly explained in this book. If only more doctors would have the courage, knowledge and strength of character that Dr. Peatfield has to challenge 'the system', many more people would regain their health and maybe the General Medical Council would finally see sense. My offer to lend my G.P this excellent book was declined!

This book probably does save lives. It's very easy to read - just as though Dr Peatfield is talking to you - and it gives you all the information you need about thyroid and related problems. It's quite brilliant.
