The New Thyroid Handbook: A guide for frustrated thyroid patients and medical professionals (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798880305193)

Thyroid management in the United States has not significantly changed over the past 40 years despite reams of new research that is mostly ignored or even vilified by the medical establishment. There has become a substantial difference between what is considered the standard of care of thyroid management and what the latest research and evidence shows is most beneficial. As a result, thyroid patients are feeling worse and getting less benefit than ever before despite using the standard thyroid treatment protocols. This is an extremely frustrating situation for both the people with thyroid issues and the medical providers that are caring for them.

In The New Thyroid Handbook, Dr. Jeffery Whelchel presents a scientifically-proven plan to improve thyroid management in today's world. By thoroughly reviewing available research from around the world, he shows that by expanding laboratory testing, broadening medication and supplement options, targeting lifestyle modifications, considering environmental factors, and simply monitoring how the patients feel after treatment can have a massive impact on the quality of life of the thyroid patient as well as the job satisfaction of the medical provider.

The New Thyroid Handbook is for thyroid patients that are frustrated with their current care and want to learn what they can do to feel better. It is also written for medical providers that realize they can and should do better at helping their thyroid patients but don't know where to start.
