This was a very thorough and helpful read! Though I know Wentz also ended up writing [b:Hashimoto's Protocol|30653973|Hashimoto's Protocol A 90-Day Plan for Reversing Thyroid Symptoms and Getting Your Life Back|Izabella Wentz|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1478543096s/30653973.jpg|51198918] because some readers wanted a more detailed "plan" for recovery, I actually found this first book to be more helpful, with a more usable format.

The only criticism I have is that there were many typos, which is always distracting and frustrating. However, I'm overlooking that for this particular book because of all the positives!… (plus d'informations)

While this was an informative, helpful read, I found myself tiring of it about halfway through and had to really push myself to finish.

It became quite repetitive, and didn't seem very well organized (Wentz would begin on a topic but then say "but we'll get into that more later," and completely change topics). Because of the repetition, it was way too long, despite the fact that Wentz was constantly referring readers to her website for more complete information.

I also became frustrated with her attitude at different points throughout the book. For instance, she seemed to minimize the enormity and difficulty of the financial expense required to recover from chronic illness. She never mentions that financial stress could have been a major trigger in developing Hashimoto's in the first place (though she mentions many other stresses) and never touches on the fact that chronic illness may be keeping people from holding a job. Apparently, she managed to keep her job (and keep in mind, she's a pharmacist...) even throughout her illness and her husband also works, so it seems as if she has not struggled financially and can't understand why anyone else would. She even berates those who refuse to pay for treatments that their insurance won't cover - never acknowledging that these people may not have any cash to do so! It was such a huge oversight that I think will alienate many readers, as it did me.

(Note: There were also several references to evolution.)

I guess I talked myself into having this disease...lol. Turned out to be a pretty good read if you are looking for answers for a healthier life. There are tests you can take to rule out this disease if you suspect you have it. She provides eating protocols and supplements to adhere to if you do find out you have it. I gave this book to a friend cause I don't think I have this disease. I must have something else...lol

JFC if I didn’t think I was dying, I definitely would after reading this. It had a lot of good information but too much to actually deal with. Any symptom you can think of is likely covered in here which is overwhelming. The amount spent on supplements alone seems extreme, and it’s all way too much work to figure out. I might come back to it sometime after I look up WTF a biological dentist is.
