Product Description
An astonishing book revealing the cause and successful treatment for
the plague of illnesses affecting western civilization; including
obesity, heart attacks, depression, diabetes, strokes, headaches,
chronic fatigue, and many more.
In Dr. Starr's description of
Type 2 Hypothyroidism, he presents overwhelming evidence showing a
majority of Americans suffer this illness, which is due to environmental
and hereditary factors.
Laboratory testing used to diagnose
hypothyroidism is completely inadequate, and current treatment for
hypothyroidism is ineffective.
Groundbreaking research shows how
persistent environmental toxins prevent thyroid and other hormones from
working properly.
This book will lead you to understanding more
about your health than anything you have ever read.

You will be mad as Hell (when you read this
book)!!
Dr. Starr returns to the essence of medicine: Listening to what the
patient has to say and looking at the patient and finding evidence to
make the diagnosis. He pays great homage to the early pioneers in
thyroidology, referencing their publications and insights, and provides
photographs clearly showing the physical consequences when thyroid
hormones, despite "normal" laboratory tests, are not working. At last,
someone has stepped up to the plate and decried the medical profession's
reliance, no, blind faith, in third-party medicine (blood, spit, urine
lab tests). Skepticism helped medicine leap forward centuries ago. Dr.
Staar's excellent book brings it on. After reading this book, you will
know, you, or someone dear to you, will have some expression of
hypothyroidism type 2 (thyroid hormone resistance syndrome). His book
will empower you to seek, no, insist, on getting the proper treatment.
Dr. Staar's assessment that this is an epidemic is true. This is a
must-read for all healthcare professionals.
Right on Target
I have traveled from Florida to see Dr. Starr and will continue to
do so because he is right on target with my diagnosis and treatment.
His book shows how this problem is an epidemic and is being totally
ignored. When blood tests actually do show a problem it is being
ineffectively treated, which I can attest to. Now that I understand the
issues I can better deal with my health problems that grow less and
less each day. I've sent my mother and my sister to see Dr. Starr. His
claim that this disease runs in families is true in my case as well.
I'm the fourth generation with thyroid problems. I finally feel as if I
have found a health practitioner that truly understands my problems.
If anyone has any doubt that hypothyroidism is not an epidemic, or you want to convince your doctor to listen to you, please run out and buy this book. It will make you understand the issues and the interactions with heart disease, diabetes, obesity and many others.
