What Doctors Fail to Tell You About Iodine and Your Thyroid Kindle Edition

Excellent book, a quick read but very informative. This book has eight short chapters with good information in each, not one or two points repeated through the entire book. Chapters cover what iodine is and the forms of iodine the human body uses, levels of iodine Americans got and were recommended to get 100 years ago vs today, and vs what the Japanese and Okinawans get. He talks about bromine(blocks iodine receptors) being added to foods and how this is not labeled. Chapter 1 also discusses different ways to test for iodine levels in the body and talks about radioactive iodine. He also mentions studies that measured soil deficiency, the need for supplementation, and the need for 3 forms of iodine in supplements. The book contains good information on all diseases related to low iodine levels, including thyroid disorders, obesity and breast cancer. Chapter 8 talks about getting started: testing levels of iodine, supplementation and food sources of iodine in a list format. there are resources, websites and scientific references listed.

This is an absolutely essential health book for anyone graced with a mind for radical objectivity and not the usual livestock thinking. This book, along with the book on vitamin K2 by Dr. Kate Rheaume-Bleue and pretty much ALL the health books by Dr. Hannah Yoseph, are what you need to stay in optimal health. You should definitely get them all and read them like your life depended on it -- because it actually does.

WOW. I learned a LOT in this book. I've had trouble with false positives on mammograms, and VERY dense breast tissue. I took Dr. Thompson's advice on adding some iodine to my supplements, but I felt a little cold. So I cut the iodine pill down to about 1/4 of the dosage, and my breast tissue IMMEDIATELY changed. First normal mammogram in several years, wow.

Dr. Thompson has written a clear, concise book on the importance of iodine, not only for the thyroid, but for every cell in the body. He describes its important role in detoxifying halogens, especially bromine, and in the prevention of many "women's" issues related to breast, uterine, and ovarian health.There is also reference to his own rigorously developed transmucosal bioidentical hormone replacement therapy that promises to revolutionize HRT for women of all ages, even pre-menopause.This is a quick and easy read, and a great deal considering the value of the information presented.Once again, a print copy would probably be perferable as there is a graphic that is apparently not expandable and a chart that is unreadable in the kindle format.

This book shines. It is most certainly one of the best books written on the subject of the absolute necessity of the importance of Iodine to the function of the Thyroid and the rest of the body as well. What sets this book apart is it's written for everyone to read.

Read this book in 2015. Have been recommending it ever since & have bought some to give away! Will continue to do so as it's SO helpful. Am taking a nascent iodine supplement from Global Healing Center called, Detoxadine. It has vastly improved my health, hair, fatigue & the information within this book backs that up & it's a short read, but a book I aim to refer to again. Our thyroids NEED an iodine supplement!!!

This is one of many books I've recently read on the iodine crisis. The book is very informative and I've started the iodine protocol, which I'm hoping will help with my underactive thyroid. Definitely worth a read!

A must read for anyone. We are in a health crisis and iodine is a big factor.

Small and thin book but with wealth of information not readily available elsewhere. Feeling better after following guidance.Much recommended and worthwhile.

very helpful for health

Excellent and delivered promptly

Good information from an experienced integrative medical doctor but I would have appreciated a comparison of different forms of iodine. There are different iodine products on the market. How do they compare? I have nascent iodine and advocates say its better absorbed. There’s also Lugol solution and kelp tablets. Dr Thompson recommends Terry’s Tri-Iodine which is produced as capsules making it very convenient. Certainly worth trying.

Great book filled with great medical information that we all should have
