Binding: PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 616.444 EAN: 9780446690614 ISBN: 0446690619 Label: Grand Central Publishing Manufacturer: Grand Central Publishing Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 352 Publication Date: January 01, 2004 Publisher: Grand Central Publishing Studio: Grand Central Publishing Editorial Review: Product Description: 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! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - An OK book, wouldn't re-read 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. Rating:  - Great BookIf 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! Rating: - HypothyroidismGreat 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. Rating: - Missing Some Important InformationDr. 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, ...
