Integrative Medicine Approach to Thyroid Disorders: Clinician's Desk Reference

This groundbreaking Clinician's Desk Reference addresses dysfunction of the thyroid gland from an Integrative Medicine perspective. It is intended as an educational tool in an effort to broaden the knowledge and perspective of the integrative and functional medicine clinician. The reader will explore the many potential contributing factors that have been implicated in thyroid dysfunction, laboratory diagnosis of thyroid disorders, and the integrative medicine approach to addressing thyroid gland dysfunction. This text is intended as a clinical reference manual. The final decision to engage in any medical treatment is solely the responsibility of the treating clinician and the patients they have the privilege to serve.On a personal note, I encourage the reader to explore the terms ‘healing’ and ‘curing’ before reading this text. These terms are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same. Understanding their meaning will not only enhance clinical skills, it will also enhance the life of the clinician. And finally, remember that the root of all medicines emerges from Nature. ~ Dr. Wayne Sodano
