About the Author
PLEASE NOTE: the "used" books are NOT the 2019 newest updated revision, in spite of the use of the current revision photo! You WILL miss out on the newest updates and info. When Janie Bowthorpe was in her 20's, odd things were going on--chronic colds plus even worse, debilitating reactions to exercise. Finally she got a hypothyroid diagnosis, and like millions before and after, she was put on Synthroid, a T4-only med. But sadly, Janie spent 20 more years getting worse, and worse, and worse. She couldn't even grocery shop anymore. It was to the point that she was prepared to apply for Social Security Disability, as doctors could find nothing wrong and only proclaimed "It's not your thyroid; you are adequately treated". But they were dead wrong. After Janie found out about a totally different way to treat hypothyroidism and moved over to it, her life made a complete turnaround. And that was the impetus for her to start a patient-to-patient movement towards far better hypothyroid and Hashimoto's treatment in light of a medical community which constantly missed the boat (and still does) .What's different about the movement Stop the Thyroid Madness compared to others? Janie kept it to worldwide reported patient experiences and the wisdom gained from those experiences in getting well. It's about US, YOU, ME...not about someone's bad opinion. And today, it's the Stop the Thyroid Madness movement which is slowly changing the way doctors treat patients. But there's still a long way to go. So use the information in the Stop the Thyroid Madness books to give you power in the doctor's office. It's only by standing AGAINST the poor standards of hypothyroid treatment can you truly get well!
