You sent in a goldmine. Thank you!

I was accessing through google books, this is better.

You are a genius and I'm voting you get the nobel.

Talking about thyroid books, I found Dr.Starr's book very good because it

goes in great details mainly about symptoms with nice pics from old books.

Old doctors, before labs exams came in, knew a lot more than us about

hypothyroid conditions.

If you love or are interested in reading what old doctors knew and wrote

about thyroid, go at this page of the internet archives:

http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=thyroid%20AND%20mediatype%3Atexts

You will find dozens of old medical books about thyroid from late 1800 and

early 1900 that you can freely download as pdf or other formats and read on

your computer.

And this is an old book about adrenals, from the same internet archives:

You can enjoy yourself searching other interesting stuff on the archive

Also Durrant-Peatfield's " Your Thyroid and How to Keep it Healthy " is a very

explicative and well done book.

But from the practical/tutorial point of view the absolute best in my

opinion is Janie Bowthorpe's " Stop the Thyroid Madness " . I think every

thyroid doctor or patient absolutely should read this book. It's a great

" how-to " book with a lot of practical infos. If a thyroid patient could have

only one book it should be this one according to mine opinion.

So true - if we could only get all the puzzle pieces in one place! JB>> jenny,> Interesting thing about books. No matter who the writer.

Thanks Bruce,

but I'm only an humble physician loving his work and loving to learn from

those that know (and knew) more than me.

I am an homeopath but I read ' book about 20 years ago, and it

started my interest in natural hormone balancing.

I wrote a book about magnesium chloride that was published in 1994 here

in Italy (who knew about magnesium chloride at that time in USA?)

By the way, now I am writing a book about hypothyroidism that will be

published this year, because here in Italy patients (and doctors) don't

know anything about thyroid, adrenals, iodine, etc and I think it's time

to set also italian patients free.

The biggest problem is that here we don't have dessiccated thyroid

anymore.

I too have to chime in and say thank you Dr Vergini! I'm going to have lots of

fun looking these over. As a dental hygienist I am constantly frustrated at the

arrogance and lack of further seeking knowledge that is perpetuated in dental

and medical schools. I actually had an MD tell me last year that the thyroid was

easy to fix since medicine knew everything about the thyroid. I said nothing but

I never went back ofcourse! I'm so glad the Italians will be getting help from a

good Dr.
