Overcoming Thyroid Problems
More than 13 million people in the United States are known to suffer from some form of thyroid disease, and that number is expected to rise precipitously as the baby boomer generation approaches its sixties.
The Harvard Medical School Guide to Overcoming Thyroid Problems is an up-to-the minute, authoritative source of practical information for thyroid patients and those who think they may have a thyroid problem. The guide is written by Harvard Vanguard’s Chief of Endocrinology, Dr. Jeffrey R. Garber, an internationally respected authority on thyroid disease.

- Explains how the thyroid works, what can go wrong and why, and how to work with a doctor to feel better and stay healthy.
- Dispels common myths and misconceptions about thyroid disease and describes the best diagnostic tests and treatment approaches.
- Covers the most common forms of thyroid disease in detail, including Graves' disease, Hashimoto's disease, and thyroid cancer.
