Hi all,
just received my copy of this book which looks like its going to be really interesting.In the introduction he talks about why research papers on hypothyroidism from a Dr Sonkin ( a medical pioneer from the last century)
weren't published and this Dr Sonkin said "Because i sat in the Ivory Tower with the Mavens"Mavens are self proclaimed experts who ,in this instance,use their influence to shape the practice of
medicine.Dr Sonkins colleauges chose not to publish his research.As it is true for the human species in general:money,power,ego,and a large dose of luck profoundly influence our lives and steer the course of medical thinking."
He looks at why blood tests don't actually measure the severity of the disease in many people,the difference between what he calls type 1 & 2 hypothyroidism,environmental toxins,magnesium
deficiencies,sex hormones,why some people do no tolerate dessicated thyroid products,adrenal insufficiency etc.
He follows the same paths as Dr S & Dr P and Dr Broda Barnes...and he is hypo himself
If any one gets a copy let me know what you think
