Editorial Reviews for What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Hypothyroidism: A Simple Plan for Extraordinary Results
|
A groundbreaking, proven approach for successfully dia--gnosing and treating the mil-lions with hypothyroidism. Depression, weight gain, fatigue, headaches, memory lapses, hair loss-these are just some of the vague, often debilitating symptoms that plaguethe more than 13 million patients with hypothyroidism. The typical blood test for diagnosis is often inaccurate, leaving many to suffer through ineffective treatment. But now, there is a solution: Dr. Blanchard's groundbreaking program draws on emerging research, medical facts, and three decades of clinical experiences as an endocrinologist. This individualized program uses questionnaires and charts to help diagnose sufferers through symptoms, not only lab results. It then treats patients of all ages with the safe but little used T3 hormone in combination with the more common T4 hormone. Also including specific nutritional advice and alternative treatments, this is the one program for sufferers of hypothyrodism that really works!

Customer Rating:  
Summary: An OK book, wouldn't re-read
Comment: An "ok" information book. Author heavily pushes (every other page) addition of T3. Not everyone needs T3 added with their T4 meds. If you're new to the Hypothyroid world, please read an assortment of books before requesting a specific treatment.

Summary: Great Book
Comment: If you have hypothyroidism, you have to read this book! I learned more from this than I think my doctor could have ever even TRIED to tell me!

Summary: Hypothyroidism
Comment: Great book for anyone with a new diagnosis. It provides the information so you can be an informed patient and ask the right questions of usually an uninformed or under-informed medical staff.

Summary: Missing Some Important Information
Comment: Dr. Blanchard has some good ideas about how to balance T4 and T3, but the book was
lacking information I had hoped it would contain. The human thyroid actually produces
10% T3, and 90% T4 -- so I'm not quite sure why Dr. Blanchard arrived at the 2%
solution -- perhaps most of his patients still have functioning thyroids, but functioning
at a lower than normal level.
There is almost no discussion of patients who have NON-functioning
thyroid glands, thyroidectomies, or myxedema. As a patient with a non-functioning
thyroid, and also having experienced myxedema due to lack of adequate medication, I found
this book was not very useful. There was no discussion of a full physiological replacement
dosage. I am unfortunately familiar with the symptoms of myxedema, and aware than incompetent
physicians are capable of inducing myxedema in a severely hypothyroid patient by relying on the
TSH test and underdosing the patient.
Also, I would like to have seen more discussion on the MANY types of thyroid
antibodies, and how these can affect the type of medication and dosage a
patient needs to feel well. I would also like to have read a discussion on why
some people need a higher than normal dosage to feel well -- due to poor stomach
absorption, thyroid resistance, anemia, etc. For reasons not well understood, other individuals
do not adequately convert T4 to T3 in their bodies; thus they require high amounts
of T3. There was no discussion on this point, either.
Something I had expected in the book (from other reviews) was a discussion of the physical
symptoms of inadequate or excessive T4, and T3 levels. Instead, the reader was
referred to the blood test again.
So for those patients with severe hypothyroidism, or non-functioning glands, you're still
on your own to figure out the best treatment regimen. The 2% T3 plan is
just too simple, and this book offers no explanation of what a full physiological
replacement dosage should be.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Resource
Comment: Geared toward helping you get the most out of your thyroid treatment. Best for people already diagnosed.
