Of all the problems that can affect physical or mental health, none is more common than thyroid gland disturbance. None is more readily and inexpensively corrected, and none is more often untreated, and even unsuspected.

Dr. Broda Barnes, MD and Lawrence Galton tell what the thyroid gland is, how it works, and the problems its dysfunction can induce. They detail case histories of patients, often thought hopeless, whose problems were discovered to be related to hypothyroidism and were greatly helped by Dr. Barnes's simple effective techniques. And they discuss whether you too may have hypothyroidism and be affected by a condition even a physician may not recognize. The patients in this book are treated by Dr. Barnes with prescription thyroid medication, yet the stories and information about the thyroid gland and the effects of hypothyroidism are invaluable to someone who might be suffering from hypothyroidism.
