What books on thyroid disease (hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, other) have
you read and found useful? We put together a short list of books at
http://altsupportthyroid.org/rr.php#books a few years ago, and it may be
time to revisit this list.

We aren't aiming to list every book that's been useful to thyroid patients,
just a few top choices, maybe more than the 3 currently listed.

If you were making a list of the top 3-5 books for thyroid patients to read,
what books would be on that list?

Thanks for your help,
Lois

I like Dr. Arem's "The Thyroid Solution" ( an MD who was on the Baylor
medical school staff at the time, and is now in private practice in Houston)
Also,
Dr. Ken Blanchard's "What your Doctor May Not Tell You about HYPOTHYROIDISM"
(He is an MD endocronologist and has private practice in Lower Newton Falls
near Boston)
Hope this helps,
Fran M.
