Editorial Reviews for Thyroid Balance: Traditional and Alternative Methods for Treating Thyroid Disorders Approximately two per cent* of the population - over 1-million people in the UK - suffer from either an underactive or overactive thyroid. After twenty-five years at the forefront of the complementary medicine movement, Dr Rothfeld provides the tools patients need to take charge of their own treatments by integrating conventional and alternative options for the recognition of, and management of thyroid problems.
Consumer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Very informative reading Comment: Was browsing a local used bookstore for another title on thyroid disorders when I ran across this book. I bought it on a whim and am so glad that I did. This book is informative and offers easy-to-understand (but not insultingly easy)explanations of the how the body, and more specifically, the thyroid works. It covers hypo- and hyperthyroidism equally and is presented in a way that makes it easy to skip over the condition that doesn't pertain to you. I was especially thankful for the presentation of alternative treatments and ideas that might be beneficial, as these are so often overlooked in traditional allopathic books. I am presently being treated for Hashimotos by an integrative practitioner who is open and willing to try new things. I can't wait until my next appointment so that I can present this newly learned information to her. After reading this book, I feel such a sense of relief that there are solutions out there to treating hypothyroidism more effectively. Customer Rating: Summary: thyroid balance review Comment: If you are looking for a book that outlines traditional and alternative methods for treating thyroid disorders, this is NOT the one to buy. In fact, it covers this topic in the last quarter of the book and only in a couple of pages. Mostly covers the endocrine system, symptoms, signs, thyroid drugs, differences between hypo and hyperthyroidism. This information is ok for those who are newly diagnosed and need more information. Does not provide any insightful methods on alternative methods for treatment. Customer Rating: Summary: Well rounded book Comment: I was recently diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease and am struggling between hypo and hyperactive symptoms concurrently. The Thyroid Balance is informative and gives a general overview of thyroid disorders and treatment options (including alternative medicine options) for all thyroid conditions. It touches on the topic of when surgery is necessary and when patients may benefit from another course of action (i.e. acupuncture or other holistic treatments, avoiding certain foods that may trigger the disorder) I think its a great book to get started with and I would defintely reccommend it to a friend. However, it was published in 2003 so I would check with a doctor to see if any of the information needs to be updated or if additional research has been done. Customer Rating: Summary: Just started and am astounded! Comment: Well I've jsut started reading this book and am already astounded at the wealth of information. I have already learned details that i haven't in the other thyroid sources I've been reading. (they were good each for their own reasons though) This is the first book I've come across that seems to address T2 (something my doctor told me didn't exist!!!) as well as how other endocrine functions can really affect the thyroid. Even though I am still in tghe beginning chapters I am already so glad I bought this book! Customer Rating: Summary: Great book Comment: Just a great book, very well written, easy to understand with great insights towards the functioning of the tiroids and how it affects the whole body.
