About this item

"More than thirty-five million Americans currently suffer from Hashimoto's--the country's fastest-growing autoimmune disease, which affects the thyroid gland and causes the body to attack its own cells. Conservative estimates state that one in five women will be affected by Hashimoto's or another thyroid disorder at some point in their lives. And many individuals who suffer the daily symptoms--including chronic cough, acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, allergies, persistent pain, hair loss, brain fog, and forgetfulness--of this debilitating disease may not even be aware that they have it. Even with a proper diagnosis, conventional medicine tends to treat Hashimoto's with an ineffective prescription for a synthetic hormone, ignoring the autoimmune implications of the condition.
