It is very clear to us that the standard teachings in the field are simply wrong or at best, incomplete.This book is written for the millions of hypothyroid patients who have not been diagnosed or, if diagnosed, are treated poorly. - Kenneth Blanchard, MD
New York, NY (PRWEB) January 09, 2013
Leading endocrinologist and thyroid disease specialist Kenneth Blanchard, Ph.D., M.D., provides the first comprehensive book to challenge the traditional ways to treat hypothyroidism in his newest book "The Functional Approach to Hypothyroidism: Bridging Traditional and Alternative Treatment Approaches for Total Patient Wellness". This important new publication offers insights into reducing symptoms and uncovers truths about treatments and diagnoses of hypothyroidism.
"The Functional Approach to Hypothyroidism" provides an indispensable and up-to-date overview for the tens of millions of people affected by this disorder in the United States alone.
"The Functional Approach to Hypothyroidism" also includes explanations of:
- Why hypothyroidism is often misdiagnosed
- Misguided teachings on the treatment of hypothyroidism
- Effects of hypothyroidism on pregnancy, menstrual cycle, and fertility
- The connection between fibromyalgia and hypothyroidism
- The effects of hypothyroidism on weight, sleep, and motion sickness
- More effective treatments and advice for proper diagnosis
For many years, treatment options for hypothyroidism have remained relatively unchanged and new treatments have been unexplored. Dr. Blanchard addresses this need based on innovative findings and expert authority. Patients and physicians alike will benefit greatly from the wisdom and guidance presented in "The Functional Approach to Hypothyroidism".
