The Great Thyroid Scandal and How to Survive It

Regarding thyroid disease, Dr. Barry Durrant-Peatfield says: "conventional medicine has no time for it; refuses to consider the diagnosis and angrily confronts any doctor who considers the possibility." It is this patient-oriented and innovative sensibility that is evident throughout Dr. Durrant-Peatfield's new book, The Great Thyroid Scandal and How to Survive It.

A champion for patient-oriented thyroid treatment, Dr. Durrant-Peatfield came under attack by the narrow-minded British General Medical Council for his innovative treatment approaches to thyroid and adrenal problems, and retired from practice in order to focus on patient education efforts such as his new book.

In The Great Thyroid Scandal, Dr. Durrant-Peatfield breaks the book down into informative chapters, including sections on:

• The overactive thyroid gland -- hyperthyroidism
• The underactive thyroid gland -- hypothyroidism
• Symptoms of hypothyroidism
• Signs of hypothyroidism
• The Adrenal connection Hypothyroidism treatments
• Reverse T3
• Iodine, other hormones and the thyroid
• Chronic fatigue and the thyroid
• The thyroid and diabetes

A variety of other topics are also covered, and the book features charts and resources for additional help.

Throughout his career of more than four decades, Dr. Durrant-Peatfield has been highly critical of the current standards of thyroid diagnosis and treatment in both the UK and the US, and exposes the hypocrisies inherent to modern medicine's handling of thyroid disease -- and the practitioners who diagnose and treat it. An outspoken pioneer in terms of thyroid issues, he adds this highly useful book to the small but growing body of patient-oriented thyroid books.
