Im so please after 5 years of battling with fatigue that this is the answer. since reading this book, I found a doctor who knows about this in UK and i am planning a visit to him. Im so excited and intrigued to see how the medication will react. Will post a message again and will let you know. In the meantime I have high hopes I can cure myself. My poor mother was gobsmacked when i told her. She suffered from this syndrome for all of her adult life, and nobody could help her. Now I will make sure she gets cured to experience some good quality life in her remaining years. My message is never stop at your doctors words. always seek for the truth. They told me to go home and rest as there is nothing wrong with me. Rating: - Excellant ResourceThis book is an excellant source of information on hypothyroidism. It was suggested to me by Doctor. The book provides information not readily available and is a good source for those concerned with this health problem. Rating: - A Sequel to Broda Barnes and a Tribute to Thyroid Medical Pioneers Hypothyroidism, Type Two by Mark Starr MD is a tribute to many of the great pioneers of thyroid medicine, Broda Barnes MD, Eugene Hertoge, and Lawrence Sonkin MD. The book is a sequel to the Broda Barnes classic on low thyroid and a compilation of evidence that modern lab testing is unreliable for the diagnosis of low thyroid, and the current treatment equally lacking. Partly to seek treatment for his own musculoskeletal pain, Starr went to New York to study pain medicine with Hans Krauss at Cornell Medical Center. Starr later opened his own pain clinic and quickly realized that the majority of his patients responded to thyroid medication with pain relief. If you have read the Broda Barnes book, Hypothyroidism, the Unsuspected Illness, you will find many of the same ideas explained and elaborated by Mark Starr's tribute to the earlier work. For example, the definition of Type Two Hypothyroidism is defined as cellular resistance to the action of thyroid hormone. While thyroid hormone's main action is to increase the size and number of mitochondria, the mitochondrial DNA is highly susceptible to genetic mutations because of maternal transmission. An unforeseen outcome of the medical victory over infectious diseases with modern antibiotics is the creation of new generations of low thyroid children who in earlier times would have succumbed to childhood infectious diseases. They now survive to adulthood thanks to antibiotics, and according to both Starr and Barnes, later develop heart disease as undiagnosed low thyroid adults. The book contains fascinating reprints of old medical book photos of patients with low thyroid before and after treatment, and adds a valuable chapter on clinical signs and symptoms of low thyroid. Another chapter covers Starr's area of expertise which is musculoskelatal pain syndromes and their relation to the low thyroid condition. Another useful chapter explains in detail why dessicated thyroid is more effective than the synthetic T4 commonly used by the medical system. Unlike the Broda Barnes book which was written at the end of a long medical career, Starr's book appears at the relative beginning of his, and one can only wonder what future additional insights he will share after 30 years of medical practice.
