Summary: Great book for getting your
Comment: Dr. Brownstein offers an easy to understand book about how to overcome one of the most common health issues - thyroid problems. He addresses hypothyroid, hyperthyroid and Chronic Fatigue / Fibromyalgia. I was thrilled to see that he addressed the issue of poor converters of T4 to T3, importance of good thyroid supporting nutrients, diet and detoxification. Most doctors will just throw Synthroid at you and call it good without treating the underlying cause. He refers to the importance of iodine and that is covered in his other book "Iodine: Why you need it, Why you can't live without it." That is also an excellent book. All therapies mentioned can be performed by a Holistic Doctor, Alternative Medicine Doctor or Naturopathic Medical doctor. [...]

Summary: He wants you to buy his other books
Comment: I am very disappointed. He keeps referring you to his other book on Iodine, which really makes me mad.
This book is also doublespaced, so as to make it bigger than what it actually is, a pamphlet.
This book is mainly about hypothyroid, which I am not.
He talks alot about CFS, Fibro more than he talks about anything else, and most of this info is on the internet already.
A waste of money because he's a scam artist trying to sell his other books. He is not trying to help anyone.
He must've paid the other people to write such glowing reviews.
Also, you would need a naturopathic doctor or regular physician to follow some of his suggestions.

Summary: Overcoming Thyroid Disorders
Comment: This book can be purchased directly from Doctor Brownstein's web site www.centerforholisticmedicine.com for $15.00. I was appalled to see the markup on these books. When people have serious health concerns I think it is a crime to take advantage of them for the mighty dollar.

Summary: A MUST for Thyroid Patients!
Comment: As a practicing physician and someone new to the "alternative" world of medicine, Dr. Brownstein's book was indeed helpful. My wife has Hashimoto's and the detail and references in this book have helped me to guide her therapy. Easy to read but detailed, this book supplements Richard Shames' "Thyroid Power: 10 Steps to Total Health" as an excellent addition to any thyroid patient's reference library!

Summary: Dr. Brownstein has done it again
Comment: Once again Dr. Brownstein has put together a great book. This book provides an easy to read way to learn about a number of disorders that can be very difficult to treat. Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in particular have baffled M.D.'s for years and Dr. Brownstein provides a fresh and helpful view.I recommend this to patients and physicians alike.
