Book Reviews of Hypothyroidism Type 2: The Epidemic
Book Review: Short sighted
Summary: 1 Stars
The book starts out well, but the author shows his relative ignorance about alternatives to increase thyroid hormones without the use of dessicated thyroid. It is a hard pill to swallow (figuratively) that the only treatment is a lifelong regime of dessicated thyroid. Historic evidence of other societies other than Anglo-European shows a definitive lack of interest in science that may disagree with his hypothesis. This book calls to light the problems associated with hypothyroidism but does little to show how we actually arrived at this state (for example, why do we not see hypothyroidism in hunter-gatherer populations?). Read this for some useful information, but don't freak out with the doomsday conclusion(s) that the author offers.Book Review: Something to think about
Summary: 3 Stars
I have listened many times to Dr. Starr's radio response given on Coast to Coast AM and have bought and read his book. I am left wondering... how is it that Dr. Starr treats people in Az with doses so large that most MD's find to high? Especially when he claims to be treating as a homeopathic paractitioner? As most people already know if homeopathic offers something that is regarded as a prescription, they sidestep the issue by offering it in doeses so small they are not detectible. This is true with antibioticss and most people remember the market created for homeopathic growth hormone. I wish I could talk to him and see how he obtains iodine/desicagted thyroid in that volume for his patients.

Book Review: Hypothyroidism Type 2, The Epidemic.
Summary: 5 Stars
Dr. Starr has given us many of the missing pieces of the puzzle!
I knew that my doctors were "missing something" as I still had many hypothyroid symptoms, even though my bloodtests indicated that I had a more than sufficient thyroid level. . -- Dr. Starr speaks of doctors "treating the tests" and that is what mine were doing. -- They missed my actual symptoms, because the "blood work" and other tests, did not show low thyroid levels.
Thank you Dr. Starr for finally giving us many missing pieces to the puzzle! !
For more of the puzzle pieces, I suggest reading Dr. Denis Wilson's book "Wilson's Temperature Syndrome". It adds more to what Dr. Starr has written.
Book Review: Best book ever written
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so impressed with Dr. Starr's book! He shows the actual research that has already been done on thyroid issues. He proves his case with established research. It is very solid.
Obviously, he has imporved his own thyroid condition to the extent that he can think very well.
I have suffered from this condition for a number of years. The book cracked open my problem, exposing the myriad symptoms for the syndrome they are.
Dr. Starr offers a simple and safe suggestion that a patient can improve this condition with natural dessicated thyroid.
He is on it! Suffice to say, with my condition corrected, I feel he has saved my life. Please read this book.

Book Review: Hypothyroidism
Summary: 5 Stars
Now this book is appropriate for those of us who have normal blood tests and the Dr's won't listen even with a history of thyroid disorder's. Nothing is left to chance in this book which is advisable considering the thyroids function. How Dr's can rely on just a blood test to determine if something is working or not is beyond me. This book will show and tell you what you can look for yourself and then you can present it to your Dr. Do not let a blood test determine your life. Read this book and you will be armed with the knowledge that your Dr seems to be lacking. And in the long run you may be saving yourself a lot of pain, grief and your life.
