Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 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: http://www.archive.org/details/adrenals00grol You can enjoy yourself searching other interesting stuff on the archive website: www.archive.org 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. At 21.07 13/01/2010, you wrote: So true - if we could only get all the puzzle pieces in one place!
