Title: Not at all helpful for the non-textbook patient
Review: This is a fine book if you happen to be in the minority of hypothyroid patients who are at their best with just thyroxine (T4) supplementation. Most hypothyroid patients are not truly healthy without T3 (liothyronine), however, and continue to suffer with brain fog, cold sensitivity, fatigue, etc. unless they are treated with both T3 and T4. (See, for example, the New England Journal of Medicine, 1999, volume 340, pp 424-429.) Furthermore, Dr. Rubenfeld provides no information for those who have "normal" TSH test results but are still hypothyroid, as evidenced by the results of rarer tests such as the TRH Stimulation test. The book is clear and well-written, but unfortunately not at all helpful if you are not a perfect textbook patient.
