EARLY REVIEWS

"A brilliant book...Mary Shomon, as always, gives proven and practical advice and is over 20 years ahead of most doctors in understanding these problems."
~
Jacob Teitelbaum, MD, Medical Director of The Fibromyalgia & Fatigue Center, Author of Pain Free 1-2-3 and From Fatigued to Fantastic

"Another tour de force from one of the premier thyroid educators in the U.S. -- a must read!"
~ Stephen Langer, MD, Private Practice Thyroid Medicine, Berkeley, CA, Author of Solved: The Riddle of Illness

"For over a decade, Mary Shomon has been on a quest for the answers to thyroid-related illness and on a crusade to help others by sharing her information. In her The Thyroid Hormone Breakthrough, she has organized the best collection of information about the thyroid, thyroid-related issues, and solutions to date. Her work is very readable and imparts encouragement and empowerment to those needing answers to questions about thyroid hormone conditions and symptoms. This is a book for every age and must-reading by every person affected with thyroid hormonal problems."
~ Steven Gurgevich, PhD, Mind-Body Medicine expert and author of The Self-Hypnosis Home Study Course, The Self-Hypnosis Diet (co-authored with Joy Gurgevich), Heal Yourself with Medical Hypnosis (co-authored with Andrew Weil, MD), The Self-Hypnosis Diet audio set, and over seventy medical hypnosis titles in his Healing with Hypnosis series

"Mary has really done her homework! This is a very readable guide for lay people on a wide variety of hormonal issues."
~ Dr. Ken Blanchard, PhD, MD, author of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Hypothyroidism

"Crucial information that every woman should know; comprehensive and clear as only Mary Shomon can make it. A superlative resource for women's health!"
~ Richard Shames MD and Karilee Shames PhD, RN, A-HNC, Authors of the books Feeling Fat, Fuzzy and Frazzled? and Thyroid Power

"Once more, Mary gives us a much-needed new book, one this time that's certain to console both men and women with thyroid-related sexual and reproductive problems. As always, Mary covers the subject expertly, clearly, and comprehensively, providing understanding and solutions. I strongly endorse the book and will recommend it to all my thyroid patients."
~ Dr. John C. Lowe, Director of Research: Fibromyalgia Research Foundation

"In her usual caring style, Mary Shomon deciphers the complex interrelationship between thyroid hormone and the other endocrine hormones. Thyroid patients will be empowered by Mary's insightful explanations and well-founded advice. The Thyroid Hormone Breakthrough offers thyroid patients the chance at optimal health they've been looking for."
~ Elaine Moore, MT (ASCP), CLS, author of Graves' Disease, A Practical Guide

"As a writer myself, I would like to say that Mary Shomon is unique in that she manages to present complex information so clearly, succinctly and intelligently. I only wish that more health and medical writers would emulate her. On a more personal note, for years, I have suspected that "something" was "off" with me hormonally, but no doctors thought to do all the right tests. Mary Shomon's Thyroid Hormone Breakthrough was a revelation to me, and confirmed my gut hunches about the interrelatedness of all the hormones. It has put me on the right path -- finally!"
~ Julia Schopick, Public Relations Consultant and Medical Advocate, Honestmedicine.com
