I am pleased to announce the release of my newest book, Overcoming Thyroid Disorders, 3rd Edition. I have been working hard on this new edition. It contains two new chapters as well as new case histories. The entire book has been updated and expanded.
One new chapter is titled, “In Defense of the TSH Test.” This chapter will discuss why the TSH test is over-valued by conventional doctors and under-valued by alternative health care practitioners. I have found the TSH test provides valuable information but it should not be the sole determinant of how the thyroid is functioning. In this chapter, I discuss the difference between the reference range and the optimal range for TSH levels.
For over twenty years, I have been evaluating nearly every patient for their thyroid function. I have found a majority of my patients are suffering from thyroid problems. Why is this so? My experience has shown that toxic agents are responsible, in part, for the rapid rise in thyroid disorders. This book will explain why it is so important to enhance your detoxification capabilities.
One final note. I have kept the prices of my books steady since 1997 when I wrote my first book, The Miracle of Natural Hormones. Unfortunately, due to rising costs, the books are increasing to $18.00 each. This new pricing will take effect January 1, 2014. Remember, until the new year, all books will remain at $15.00.
I hope you will find my new book interesting and, more importantly, I hope it helps you find your optimal health!

P.S. A new edition of my book, Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can’t Live Without It, is at the printer. It will be here soon. I will keep you updated.
Dr. B., you mention in your books that cruciferous veggies inhibit iodine uptake. As a person of Eastern European descent, I eat a LOT of cabbage and just knowing how good the others (i.e., kale, broccoli, cauliflower, etc.) are for us, I make it a point to consume them, too. So relative to iodine interference, how much is too much? Can you give an example, please? Thank you.
Hi is your third edition thyroid book available on amazon or by ebook to download as I live in Ireland and it costs more to ship the hard copy book to Ireland than the book costs itself. I tried amazon uk but could not find it listed.
Sinead,
Unfortunately, we do not have electronic versions of this book, yet.

Thanks a lot, Dr. Brownstein,
for your priceless information.
Best of all,

I am always thrilled to read and discuss your books. Will order these, too. 🙂
Since reading your book on “Overcoming Thyroid Disorders” I have become the person I used to know. Upon receiving a referral for an alternative MD in NYC, I was given a specific test which tested my pituitary gland as well. It was found that I was extremely hypothyroid and probably was for a long time without knowing it. This is because general MD’s do not do the specific test and as it is stated in your book the numbers can show a normal or slightly elevated level. Amazing how far the numbers were off when given the specific test. I preferred to go on Armour Thyroid over synthetic Synthroid. I will be retested again on Friday. It is amazing how much better I feel. I used to have terrible brain fog, could not concentrate, hardly be able to read, was bloated when I awoke, loss of appetite and utterly exhausted.
Thank you Dr. Brownstein.
P.S. I also see a chiropracter/kinesiologist/nutritionist who went to one of your talks. At that talk he found out about the miracle of iodine. I also take that as well!
Dr. B, You are Always right on target. I have been reading your articles and commentaries for quite a long time. They are Each specific, comprehensive, useful, and most important – Informative. I, for one, am grateful for your knowledge and for your willingness to spread these vital topics to those who need them – Like me.
