Review: The Thyroid Cure by Michelle Corey

9/30/2015

The Thyroid Cure provides an incredibly comprehensive under-standing of autoimmune thyroid disease. While user-friendly for patients, the depth of research that clearly went into creating the text makes this a must read for any healthcare provider dealing with thyroid issues as well as autoimmune diseases in general. David Perl-mutter, MD #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of Grain Brain

In The Thyroid Cure, Michelle Corey outlines the exact steps that anyone can take to reverse ANY kind of chronic, inflammatory autoimmune condition. You will learn how to become empowered in health, navigate the broken medical system and get the right care, so that you can undercover the roots of your illness and heal for good. You will discover what you can do on your own to restore your and health, and how to find and work with a practitioner if necessary.

The book comes with online companions such as: A letter to your doctor explaining the rationale; a test request so you can have a baseline for where you stand at the beginning of the program; mind-body assessments so that you and your doctor can get closer to identifying the roots of your condition; a 14-day detox program to kick start your recovery and help you become aware of any foods that might be triggering your condition.

Chronic inflammatory conditions such as autoimmunity can be successfully and quantifiably reversed when the underlying splinters are uncovered and removed, and the core systems of the body are restored to balance.

The Thyroid Cure is based on cutting-edge science and combines ancient healing principals with the current advances in functional and integrative medicine.

I was first interested in this book because a dear, immediate family member has been diagnosed with thyroid problems, and I wanted to learn more about the thyroid in general and holistic ways in which to help maintain a healthy thyroid in particular. I wasn't disappointed. Corey's 500 plus page book presents extensive information about the thyroid and researched strategies for dealing with thyroid conditions.

She shares her own personal journey and extensive research that she has done over many years. . The book is also underwritten by various medical practitioners. At present, the author is a counsellor in her own clinic, helping clients gain knowledge about their own condition, so that they can experience better health.

I particularly liked the index so that I could look up areas relevant to my family member's condition. Also useful were the guides to understanding how food, medicine, and stress reduction work together when trying to find an effective approach to wellness.

The author has developed what she calls a Thyroid Emergency Repair Kit to help both her clients and readership. Corey offers herself as proof that her recommendations work. She received a six-year treatment. Then she opened her clinic in 2008 and by 2010 she was well.

Anyone concerned with the health of their thyroid and overall autoimmune systems will benefit from this book.

Book Bling gives this 5 stars!
