Customer Reviews

a great resource!

True to its title, "Healing Options" brings those with thyroid disease the good news that they have many options beyond radiation, surgery, and drugs-options that can change their mindset from one of  "chronic illness" to one of  "chronic wellness."  This book was probably thought to be way out on the fringe when it first was published. Now in its second edition, at a time when alternative therapies are increasingly acknowledged and accepted, Kate Flax's book is an incredibly helpful and encouraging resource. Anyone with Graves/Hashimoto's should read this book.

Truly, a Gift of Strength and Hope

As a newly diagnosed patient, this is a book I need in my life. I am so grateful to have found it. Not only is this book informative with a terrific index, glossary, and resource section, but heartfelt and easy to read besides. Kate Flax's personal excursion to wellness is truly inspiring and gives me the strength and hope to make that path mine.

Great Book

This book is the Thyroid BibleI learned everything I needed to know about thyroid disease not just Graves' disease in this book. I learned how the thyroid works, how to be a good self-advocate, how to find my doctor, how to talk to my doctor, how to include complementary treatments into my healing, how to choose my treatments, and some very personally important information on women and pregnancy and children and thyroid disease. My husband also read the book. He too found it helpful in understanding my "off " behavior, which is currently, thank goodness, under control since adding T3 into my T4 medication and making the time to take care of myself now. Thank you Ms. Flax for your research and caring. I am a new woman.
