The Hypothyroid Syndrome

Meer over het boek

Hypothyroidism is more common than you think. Unfortunately, many are not diagnosed because of a reliance of a certain blood test - the TSH level. There are also many who have been correctly diagnosed with hypothyroidism, are treated in the orthodox way and the result is that their blood tests normalise but they continue to suffer from hypothyroid symptoms. Perhaps not as badly as originally but still severe enough to make life difficult for them. This book explores there issues and suggests various treatments. The hypothyroid syndrome (note a syndrome is a collection of various symptoms that has a common cause) needs to be treated wholistically. Just replacing thyroid hormone may not be enough. The thyroid is not an organ existing on its own. There is a close relationship between the thyroid and the adrenals, the gut and in women, the sex hormones. These other systems need to be treated as well. His book covers all these aspects.
