 Rating: - Good book I can no longer read!Good book as a reference! Purchased as an ebook in May 2006. Tried to access it recently and could not open it as Adobe has changed signatures. Moreover, Adobe says that it is ENTIRELY THE FAULT OF AMAZON. And, it is no longer available as an ebook even if I want to pay for it again. ..... MAKES ME WONDER WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT YEAR TO ALL THOSE BOOKS I PURCHASED ON MY NEW KINDLE. Rating:  - Big Pharma [..]This book is fairly comprehensive. For that I give it the two stars. But, it uses the conventional endocrinologist view that TSH is god and treatment with "T4 Only" is the ONLY way to go. WRONG. It does work for SOME people, but not all can convert T4 into T3. If your doctor is of the "T4 Only" school, and your free T3 and free T4 and TSH tests all come back "within normal ranges", find another doctor who will treat by symptoms. The authors feel that sub clinical hypothyroidism does not exist. ... Read More Rating: - Best I've Read on ThyroidI'll simply echo the five star reviews. I've read a lot of Thyroid books and agree that this one is the most complete, informative and also well written book I have read. Of the husband and wife team one is a long term medical writer on Thyroid; the other is a medical doctor with a Thyroid clinic in Lexington, Ky. Additionally, both author's are hypothyroid patients. This an introductory book instead of a medical text, obviously intended as basically explanatory of various thyroid problems. Where ...

When my doctor told me that she suspected that I had a thyroid problem, I went to the Borders in Montreal and sat down at the cafe with all of their thyroid books. After two hours I had read or skimmed nearly every page in most of them. It was immediately clear that The Complete Thyroid Book was head and shoulders above every other book that was there. The depth and breadth of the information covered ... Read More Rating:  - Pharmaceutical propaganda?Although there is some good technical thyroid information contained in the book, I found the usual "TSH is God" propaganda. A review of any thyroid forum on the Internet will show very quickly that TSH isn't working and that when folks switch back to the old ways, they can get well. Old ways means treating by symptoms and using desiccated thyroid extract which has been used successfully for over 100 years. Two new books written this year by Dr. Starr and Dr. Hotze finally offer real relief ... Read More
