Thyroid problems don't often kill you, but they can make you wish you were dead at times!

Dear Friends:

We hope this finds you enjoying the beautiful weather, wherever you live.

As we often say, "Thyroid problems don't often kill you, but they can make you wish you were dead at times!"

As summer edges toward fall, we have been enjoying the launch of our newest book, Thyroid Mind Power (Rodale). 

This topic does seem to have touched a nerve, as readers across the SF Bay area and US are confirming that they have been struggling with "quality of life" issues more so than serious health concerns.

The good news is not only are your problems fixable, but YOU can fix them! 

Following our step-by-step guidelines, you can:

  • Get properly diagnosed (without a doctor ordering your tests!)

  • Start using nutraceutical (pharmacy grade) Health & Nutrition products to restore gland function

  • Take action that's right for your "Endo-Type" (moody, sleepy, needy, edgy, foggy)

  • Know which types of medication to ask for if you need medicine

  • Balance not only your thyroid, but adrenals & sex hormones as well

  • Finally find relief for annoying everyday symptoms

Depression, irritability, mood swings, sleep problems, addictive behaviors - many of these signal a need for greater nourishment. Yet our modern medical system is so geared toward "critical care" and life extension that it seems to have abdicated its responsibility for our quality of daily life. 

That's why we say your health is in YOUR hands. 

It is up to us -- practitioners, consumers, and lawmakers -- to put the caring back into curing, before it's too late. 

We encourage you to become a potent advocate for your own health,  and for the health of those you love. 

Health education, stress reduction, and assertive communications are the ingredients you will need to advocate passionately. Take the time to listen carefully to your own body wisdom; then act. 

Work with physicians, nurses, acupuncturists, chiropractors, health advocates, and others to ensure you have the right team to get you back on track. 

You deserve to live fully; reclaim your life. 

Take back your health, and enjoy each day!

Thanks for allowing us to educate you in full gland function; It is our passion.

We welcome your comments,questions (although we cannot answer questions of a personal nature) and suggestions.

Warmly, 

Drs. Rich & Karilee Shames
