Hypothyroidism is one of the commonest yet worst treated conditions in Western medicine. Why? Because today's doctors only treat blood tests, not patients--even though they may have all the classic signs and symptoms. Dr Myhill, supported by Craig Robinson, shows us what those signs and symptoms are, all stemming from the metabolism running slow, and what the problems with diagnostic blood tests are, which is that they cannot be relied on in isolation. Advocating lifestyle measures, iodine and natural desiccated thyroid, where found to be necessary, the authors also show us the consequences of untreated hypothyroidism at every stage of life and why it is so important to take remedying the problem safely into your own hands if your doctor won't give you the treatment you need.
