Living Well With Graves Disease And Hyperthyroidism: What Your Doctor Do esn't Tell You That You Need To Know

As soon as I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, I got this book along with two other books. It is a very comprehensive resource both in terms of understanding the disease and knowing what to do. I read it while I waited for the endocrinologist. When I went to the appointment, I was quite informed, and we were able to arrive at a more accurate diagnosis. The nuances of the differences between toxic anemia, De Quervain's disease, Grave disease helped me differentiate between these and know that I actually had thyroiditis, which the endocrinologist agreed and confirmed with additional tests. The book was written in 2005, but it didn't seem that any information was outdated. I think that some of alternative approaches have advanced but not the medical approaches. I still think that this is a timely book. Finally, Mary Shomon is an excellent writer, which made reading the book extremely easy. She is not telling people to do one thing or another and only presenting the information. Very helpful book. Thank you, Ms. Shomon for writing this excellent resource.

Good

A well written book for anyone suffering from Hyperthyroidism or Graves disease. American references but are applicable to the disease generally. Some good information on how diet effects the condition and good case studies.

Get this Book to educate yourself on Graves Disease plus Autoimmune System

Fantastic resource for anyone who wants to learn more about this condition. The book is well laid out with sections on understanding Graves' Disease and hyperthyroidism, conventional treatment options, integrative/holistic treatment options and life after treatment. The author goes into detail about many treatment options, listing the pros and cons of each one and although she clearly leans more toward natural treatments, she admits there is a need sometimes for the conventional methods and she doesn't preach or judge if you choose to go that route. I've read a number of books on the subject and this one is way above all the others. I highly recommend it.
