Overcoming Thyroid Disorders

This book will give the reader a novel, holistic approach to diagnosing as well as treating thyroid disorders. A holistic approach treats more than just laboratory tests; it sets up a unique treatment program designed specifically for the individual patient.

“…..the average patient, especially those with hypothyroid symptoms, has less than a 50% chance of being diagnosed. This fact alone emphasizes the tremendous importance of Dr. Brownstein’s book. Read it and act upon the great information available.” C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D. President, Holos Health Institutes of Health 

My holistic treatment plan for thyroid disorders involves looking not only at laboratory tests, but also at the physical exam signs, symptoms, diet, detoxification pathways, nutritional status and other pertinent information.

‘Overcoming Thyroid Disorders’ explains how a holistic treatment program can effectively treat:

• Hypothyroidism
• Graves’ Disease
• Hashimoto’s Disease
• Fibromyalgia
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
• Arthritis
• And Much More!

Also included is information about:

• Natural Thyroid Hormone
• Bioidentical Natural Hormones
• Diet
• Vitamins and Minerals Important for Thyroid Function
• Detoxification
• And Much More!
