New book explores thyroid disorders from a new perspective to create a paradigm shift in how doctors and patients understand and approach thyroid physiology

AVONDALE, Pa.,  August 10, 2022  /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dr. Eric Balcavage and Dr. Kelly Halderman have both personally struggled with hypothyroidism and found that the allopathic medical model did little to help them or their patients. They want to help people understand the challenges with the current medical model of thyroid care and why it fails to help so many people.

In "The Thyroid Debacle" (published by Balboa Press), Balcavage and Halderman explore thyroid disorders from a new perspective, looking to create a paradigm shift in how doctors and patients understand and approach thyroid physiology. They argue that hypothyroidism is more commonly an issue with the functioning of cells, not a problem with the thyroid gland itself, and that the key is to look at root causes rather than attempt to mask symptoms with pills.

"Most books on thyroid physiology suggest that your body is broken, your thyroid gland is malfunctioning, and your immune system is inadvertently attacking itself. But that's a depressing message, and it's not what we believe. Your body isn't broken – it's protecting itself for a reason. This book explains why your body is doing what it's supposed to do; it's adapting to excessive cellular stress. We walk readers through how to pinpoint the cause of that stress and reduce or eliminate it so that their body can revert to balance and their symptoms can resolve," the authors say.

When asked what they want readers to take away from the book, the authors answer, "We want readers to know that they are not crazy or lazy. We want them to know that what they are experiencing is real. When medicine relies on one test (TSH) to evaluate something as complex as thyroid physiology, and one solution (thyroid hormone replacement) for a disorder with many facets, that system is doomed to failure at your expense. The problem is not you, the problem is that the medical thyroid system is a debacle."
