The Thyroid Alternative is a revolutionary book detailing the underlying causes of thyroid disorders and how to treat them naturally. 28 million Americans suffer from thyroid disease yet 90% of them are not treated adequately by conventional medicine. Dr. Hedberg clearly explains why one patient's thyroid disorder may have a completely different underlying cause from another. This book is a must for all of those suffering from thyroid disease and for health care practitioners who are managing patients with thyroid disease. Students in any healing arts program will also greatly benefit due to this book's educational capacity. Patients no longer have to live with thyroid-related symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, depression, cold hands and feet, hair loss, constipation and sleep problems.
