So why didn't I give this book higher than 3 stars? Well, three reasons. First of all, it's horribly repetitive. In the section where he talks about the 22 different types of thyroid condition, he gives the same supplementation advice over and over and over... I can't count how many times I read the exact same information about Vitamin D, Milk Thistle, selenium, glutathione, etc. As a result of all this repetition, it's really hard to know where he's going as you progress through the book. Even non-fiction books need a "plot" in that they have to take you on a journey of continual discovery until you have the big picture.
The second reason is that I'm not entirely sure the author knows who his readers are. Sometimes it gets really technical and wordy, which would make you think the book is for doctors, but it's obvious the book was intended for patients. The author really should have made more of an effort to speak in a language that patients will understand. I have to admit, some pages were so wordy that I read with a bit of a glazed attention, skipping ahead to other sections that were more straight-forward.
But the last reason (and the deal breaker) as to why this book only gets 3 stars is that the author ruins the book with dozens of annoying, non-stop testimonials from other doctors who use his method, assumedly in an attempt to raise his credibility. It's really irritating because you think you're reading a proper case study, but then all of a sudden you see another doctor saying something to the effect of "Dr K's methods saved my patient's life." What's the point in that? We already BOUGHT the book so why does he feel he needs to "sell" his credibility to the reader? Had these been used in a scholarly way to provide case studies, it would have been great, but it simply comes across as a sales pitch, and you read the book anticipating he's going to slam you at some point with a pitch for high-cost supplements (as I experienced in Dr. Wilson's book on Adrenal Fatigue).
This could have been a 5-star book, but it is flawed by these issues. I think the author would find it worthwhile to go through this book with a good editor and publish a revamped 2nd edition. The information that is valuable here is VERY valuable. The presentation, however, is obscuring it, and that will not help get the message out.
I bought this book thinking that it might be a waste of money but to my surprise the info it contains is extremely useful and is way better than what you will find on the Internet.
The book describes everything that can be wrong with your thyroid and why it doesn't nesesaraly shows up on your labs. One of the things is your inmune system (hashimotos) and there is plenty of advise on this condition.
This book convinced me of leaving gluten "for a while" but to my infinite surprise my constipation was gone from day one and my mental fog is not bad now (aka I can remember my friends names and don't forget to pick up my son from school) so I really didn't plan to eat it ever again. After about a month of my new diet I had a blood test and to my delight my TSH was within normal range! I don't know if its just a cycle or the things I have done, I guess only time will tell but I pretty happy at the moment.
Other things that I am doing because of the book is taking vitamin D and controlling my blood sugar levels. There are more things recommended in the book but I guess I am taking baby steps and this has worked our for me so far.
Don't worry, it's not a waste of time and money.
The American author recommends the services of "a qualified health care practitioner" but I doubt if any NHS GP would have the time, inclination, or the resources to carry out the battery of tests required to establish the link with auto-immune disease. However, he does makes a good case for adding vitamin supplements to the diet to counteract the debilitating effects on the body although the list is a bit intimidating and also requires GP support.
The best thing about this book is that the author understands the array of symptoms and does not attempt to dismiss anecdotal evidence as so many agencies do but goes on to explain the causal links. The language can be a bit technical but there is a useful summary at the end of each chapter. Well worth a read!
