Informative and easy to read, 2007-05-31
This book has helped me to understand the different types of thyroid diseases better. I'm very glad that it also lay out the risks of certain surgery that some doctors do not highlight. It is written in a manner that is easy to read and not heavy as compare to scientific books.

Very Informative, 2006-08-21
This is a really go book for anyone who doesn't know anything about thyroid conditions/diseases. I have had some experience with thyroid problems in the past so a lot of the information contained in the book was not new to me. The best part about the book is that you get detailed information without all the medical jargon. The author is very clear and descriptive about the different types of thyroid conditions, symptoms, common medical treatments, etc. I purchased it because I was hoping for more information on weight management and diet for tyroid patients. Although the book touches on this topic it was not as detailed as I would have liked. Otherwise, I would recommend this book as a guide to walk you through the maze of medical terms and to sort out some of the fact from fiction.

 Nothing new here, 2006-05-27
Why did McGraw-Hill publish this book? It is almost identical (verbatim) to The Complete Thyroid Book except that the latter book includes some additional information. Both books were published in 2005.
I agree with the reviewers that mention how basic this book is. If you're new to learning about thyroid conditions and their treatment, The Complete Thyroid Book is a good starting point. Otherwise check out this book or The Complete Thyroid Book from the library and maybe you'll discover a few helpful tidbits.

 Extremely Informative, 2006-03-22
I bought this book after a tough year of thyroid ups and downs. It has empowered me to understand and ask the right questions for a change. So informative but on a level that anyone can understand. After reading my copy, I bought one for my sister, who also has thyroid problems. Her mother-in-law saw it and bought two more copies for friends. Its great for family members of hyper-hypo- thyroid too. It will increase thier understaning. I bought a few books and this was the best, by far!

Thyroid Sourcebook by Rosenthal, 2004-01-22
This is an excellent book which describes classic thyroid
problems and a variety of solutions. Goitrogens are contained
in cabbage, cauliflower, turnips, almonds and fiber.
People living in North America get natural iodine
in their diets. The thyroid makes T3 and T4 cells. The
parathyroid controls calcium regulation. Hyperthyroidism
produces anxiety, diarrhea, easy bruising, increased gland
size, eye problems, exhaustion, heat intolerance and
palpitations, infertility, menstrual changes, muscle weakness,
paralysis and tremors. Hypothyroidism causes cardio changes,
cold intolerance, digestive changes, fatigue, muscle cramps, numbness and autoimmune deficiencies. The Endocrine Society
is listed at 4350 East West Hwy. -Suite 500 Bethesda MD 20814-4410 at Tel 301-941-0200Overall, this work is excellent for anyone desiring quality
information on the functioning of the thyroid gland. It should
be in every personal health library.
