New for the second edition:

Thyroid problems, especially thyroid underactivity, are on the increase but notoriously difficult to diagnose. Many sufferers have years of treatment for their symptoms rather than for the underlying problem.

In this fully revised and updated second edition of Dr Durrant-Peatfield’s acclaimed book you will learn how to recognize thyroid problems in yourself and how to take an active part in your own treatment.

About the author

Dr Barry Durrant-Peatfield qualified at Guy’s Hospital in 1960 and worked for two years in the Croydon Hospitals before entering general practice. Increasing disenchantment with the NHS decided him to enter private practice where he at once felt drawn to the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid problems. Much impressed by the work of Dr Broda Barnes in the USA, he visited the Barnes Foundation and returned to the UK determined to improve the lot of patients with thyroid illness.

His emphasis on the use of clinical diagnosis, both of thyroid and adrenal problems, and an holistic approach using non-synthetic treatment, enjoyed a great deal of success but brought him into conflict with establishment medicine. He finally decided to retire from active medical practice to study nutrition, write and lecture. He wrote The Great Thyroid Scandal and How to Survive it (now revised as Your Thyroid and How to Keep it Healthy) for the general reader: to give people a deeper understanding of both thyroid and adrenal illness and enable them to play a knowledgeable part in the management of their treatment.

Dr Durrant-Peatfield now lectures and holds nutritional clinics specialising in metabolic health.

TPA-UK feel the current situation, whereby hypothyroid patients are being left to self-diagnose, self-treat, and self-monitor due to a lack of understanding of the disorder by NHS doctors, is unacceptable. TPA-UK is fighting to remedy this. Our aims are to persuade the medical profession to rethink their protocol of diagnosis, management and treatment of hypothyroidism, to raise awareness of treatment options, and to provide educational and emotional support to patients and their families"
