STTM - Stop the thyroid madness webpage & books.... any good...

[joey82]

Hi,

Does anyone use STTM and has anyone read the books. I am tempted to buy them as they look like a good resource.

I have read Dr Barry Peatfields and Paul Robinson's book and looking for another read.

Many thanks in advance.

Not read it, website is a mixed bag with some bits out of date I'm thinking, last one I read was Dr Sarah Myhill but she is a keto advocate (which I can't tolerate 🙃) but it's a good read

In my view, too many inaccuracies and too much out of date and questionable information, at least on the website.

And I'm not referring to things where there could be differences of opinion but of simple, verifiable facts.

Also, very USA-oriented. Which is no surprise and not so much a criticism as an observation.

I'd stick with Dr P and PR...

but this is the TUK reading list

So many up to date books these days are focussed (openly or subtly) towards the sale of OTC supplements or functional doctor consultations etc. Older books are now frequently not relevant to current research.

When I was first diagnosed years ago, one of the most enlightning books I came across was The Thyroid Solution by Ridha Arem. It's long out of publication, but second hand copies can be found. I gave away many of the books I accumulated in those days, but this is one I kept.
