Do you have anxiety, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, adrenal fatigue (problems dealing with stress), PCOS\/infertility, brain fog\/dementia, osteoporosis, insomnia, insulin resistance, or asthma? Have you ever asked your doctor about hypothyroidism, tested your TSH, and been told your results were normal? Learn why it's so difficult to get a hypothyroid diagnosis today, and why patients don't feel well when a TSH lab test determines their dose (the TSH Rule). Learn what tests to ask for instead, what a normal thyroid gland secretes, and the pros and cons of popular internet protocols. Read five case studies that illustrate the flaws of using TSH as a dosing guideline. 1)Barbara Lougheed shares her story as a hyperthyroid Graves' disease patient who had radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment. When she became hypothyroid, her doctor prescribed Synthroid (levothyroxine or T4). Follow her journey as she searches for her optimal dose, trying desiccated thyroid, T3, and various combinations. 2)A hypopituitary man remains undiagnosed for decades because of his normal TSH. 3)An older woman with Hashimoto's thyroid disease has her Synthroid dose reduced because of her low TSH, even though her T3 levels were below the reference range. 4)A young man's fatigue is puzzling until lab tests identify his iron loading condition. 5)A woman successfully battles Graves' disease using alternative treatments. Even though she no longer suffers from debilitating hyperthyroid symptoms, she still has very little TSH. Learn how thyroid hormones work and why current medical treatments and patient-directed internet protocols often don't relieve all symptoms. Is the iodine protocol, T3-only protocol to clear reverse T3 (rT3), or natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) a good idea for everyone? This book reveals the facts so patients can make an educated decision.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49552999481617,"sku":"GOR006740366","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50284417220881,"sku":"CIN1495355535G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50292922941713,"sku":"CIN1495355535VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51030359343377,"sku":"NIN9781495355530","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53141105606929,"sku":"GOR014770881","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1495355535.jpg?v=1750716456"},{"product_id":"it-s-okay-to-be-different-thorina-bina-book-barbara-s-lougheed-9780996580205","title":"It's Okay to be Different Thorina-Bina","description":"\u003cp\u003eThorina-Bina feels all alone because she's so different from her mother and sisters. She's a tortoise-shell colored cat, while the rest of her family are striped tabby cats. She looks and acts differently, and her sisters make fun of her. She also has keen eyes and ears, and sees and hears better than the other cats. After she meets an old gopher tortoise, a lizard without a tail, an armadillo with poor eyesight, and two very different dogs in the forest, she learns that everyone is different in their own way.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book combines a funny story with adorable animal photos to convey its message of self-acceptance. Kids will learn about different animals, but they will also laugh out loud at the animals' adventures. Parents and teachers will treasure this book for the message it contains, and kids will love the 21 delightful animal photos. This book has five short chapters, and parents may have to read it to beginning readers. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Teachers can use the story to start discussions about being different, bullying, disabilities, self-respect, self-esteem, and most of all, tolerance for others. Kids may feel more comfortable participating in a discussion about animal differences, instead of differences in kids their own age. In the end, Thorina-Bina learns that it's okay to be different . . . she's just a different kind of cat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52816401596689,"sku":"CIN0996580204G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53390393770257,"sku":"NIN9780996580205","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780996580205.jpg?v=1764268612"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-barbara-s-lougheed.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
