Going to the doctor with symptoms of thyroid may be a futile and frustrating experience if you don't pass the blood test values required by many doctors in treating thyroid disorders. And it's hard to self-advocate when you're exhausted and being told it's all in your head, or a result of your age, or your blood test results don't warrant an increase in your thyroid dosage. In Dr. Durrant-Peatfield you have a friend indeed.This book is all about empowering you to take care of yourself and have confidence in listening to your body's messages and self-administer treatment. This is a perfect book for those just starting out in learning about the thyroid because of the simplicity with which the information is presented.The book discusses:* The job of the thyroid and the endocrine system* Possible way these organs malfunction and the causes* Symptoms and signs of hyper- and hypothyroid* Other diseases that can be caused by or exacerbated by a poorly functioning thyroid* The role adrenal health plays in low thyroid and its treatment* Testing and treatment options including supplemental hormones and nutrients* Associated hormonal imbalances and how to correct those* Weight loss* Dietary concernsHowever, the book's main focus is on treatment of thyroid disease, not necessarily "autoimmune" thyroid disease involving thyroid antibodies. Durrant-Peatfield writes: "In any laboratory workup for thyroid illness, antibodies are, or should be, checked for. Their presence, however, will little affect the ultimate treatment." I would say that their presence most definitely should affect the ultimate treatment.
