Thyroid books (was: Re:Dr.Mark Starr)

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:

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

website:

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.
