 The Thyroid Bible January 19, 2000
35 out of 39 found this review helpful
I was diagnosed with thyroid disease early 1999. Trying to deal with the daily medications is one thing, but changing my lifestyle to adjust to the disease is another hassle. A friend gave me this book to read hoping that I could educate myself further on what the doctors always seem to fail to inform you. Wow, the things one learns... such as how to eat and how much to eat, the risks involved with thyroid disorders, and how to work to overcome any future troubles. I will continue to pass it on to others who also have been diagnosed with this strange, yet more common disorder. This is The Tyroid Bible.
Great for newly diagnosed **or** long-term thyroid patients March 30, 2000

This book -- and the newly printed "Living Well with Hypothyroidism" -- have been pivotal in my experiences as a hypothyroid patient. Perhaps the most important thing I've learned is that newer research shows that many thyroid patients feel better with a medicine that contains two types of thyroid hormones (T4 and T3). Currently many of us are still on pills like levothyroxine or Synthroid, which only have one type of hormone. Although I haven't yet convinced my HMO doctor to change my medicine from the traditional Synthroid, she did increase my dose and I already feel better. This gives me hope that I can feel even *better* on a medicine with both T4 and T3.

M. Sara Rosenthal's book offers a good overview of thyroid disease, and is an excellent source of easy-to- understand information on most aspects of thyroid disease. This second edition has the latest information on smoking and thyroid eye disease; osteoporosis and thyroid hormone; post-partum thyroid disease; nutrition and diet; the continuing problem of iodine deficiency around the world; as well as an expanded discussion of symptoms in sections she calls "Hyperalphabet Soup" and "Hypoalphabet Soup."

I immediately bought this book after I was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer. After reading the Thyroid Sourcebook I more fully understand my doctor and can be proactive in my treatment. Thank you for writing a book for the common person facing a tough situation, and including such complete and positive information about treatment. Your book, above all others, has given me confidence and knowledge.
