Great Resource.......2007-09-02
Dr. Bernstein's book is a very good resource.
He states he has been diabetic since age 12 and became a doctor to advocate for other diabetics. The book is very good guide for anyone facing this illness.
Newly Diagnosed Diabetic Looking For Information.......2007-08-23
This book takes all the 'pleasure' out of being a diabetic. It gives a good primer on the basics of diabetes. Then it departs from much of the convention of diabetes treatment in terms of diet. Basically, Dr. Bernstein advocates a diet devoid of almost all carbohydrates (he "hasn't had a piece of fruit in 40 years"). His advice is based on techniques he has refined over 40+ years and they have obviously worked very well for him, a Type 1 diabetic who went much of his early life improperly treated. That he is still alive today is a testament to his regimen's efficacy. However, it is a truly Draconian approach that essentially strips most food-based pleasure from your life. Also, he advocates regular, strenuous exercise to build muscles (building muscles reduces insulin resistance). He is less interested in aerobic exercise, although he acknowledges its cardiovascular benefits if practiced strenuously (not a jog, but a demanding pace that begins (on a treadmill) at a slope that exhausts you in 20 seconds, then lowering the slope and continuing, etc). As in the anerobic exercise, he warns against rest periods. The idea is only through pain do you build muscles including those of the heart. I found the book very informative, but his techniques very scary. As an almost 70-year old man, I'm not sure I'm equal to his demanding regimen. I bet it works; but I don't know how much pleasure you'll get from living all those extra years if you're constantly craving starches and rest.
Dr. Bernstein is GREAT!!!.......2007-08-23
Dr. Bernstein is a type 1 diabetic and had just about every sympton possible. He figured out the "diabetes code" and clearly explains how to control your diabetes. His cure is exactly opposite to that of the medical establishment. He was educated as an engineer, then became a medical doctor late in life. His book is designed to educate and not to impress how smart he is. Buy it.

Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution Rocks !.......2007-08-09
Dr. Bernstein has researched and developed the most sensible approach to controlling blood sugar in both Type I and Type II diabetics that I have ever encountered.
My Little Girl Needs her Daddy.......2007-07-29
Unlike the ADA advice my doctor and the diabetes educators gave me, this book works.
I have normal blood sugars, my cholesterol and triglycerides are normal again, and I am no longer spilling protein in my urine.
I have lost 70 pounds and kept it off.
My A1C results at 4.8% are very much in the non-diabetic range.
Better than all that, I can feel my feet again.
I had diabetic neuropathy that made my feet numb and I did not even realize it before.
With my blood sugars staying between 80 and 100, the feeling has been returning to my feet and the numbness is fading.
Dr. B, my little girl will thank you when she is old enough to understand that you saved her daddy's life!

Book Description
Human Osteology, Second Edition is designed for students and professionals who wish to advance their osteological skills in terms of accurately identifying human skeletal remains, however isolated and fragmentary. These remains can then be used to deduce information about the original lives of the deceased individuals. This book will continue to be an essential text for courses on the human skeleton, as well as a basic reference and field manual for professional osteologists and anatomists, forensic scientists, paleontologists, and archaeologists.
Human Osteology, Second Edition includes nearly a decade of advances in osteological research since the first edition. Each chapter has been strengthened and updated, including a new chapter on molecular osteology and four new case studies drawn from more recent research. This edition also includes a valuable guide to electronic resources in osteology.
Key Features
* Lavishly illustrated with hundreds of exceptional photographs and drawings specifically designed to show a maximum amount of anatomical information
* Based on nearly 25 years of teaching human osteology
* Skeletal parts shown life-size for ease of study and use
* Four new case studies emphasize the correct and positive identification of human bones and teeth, which is fundamental in paleontology, archaeology, and forensic science
Customer Reviews:
Human Osteology!.......2007-09-28
This book is very helpful when learning human osteology. I really like how many pictures there are. If I can't have the real object in front of me then the book is the next best thing. Although the book is kind of pricey I think it was worth the money. Over all very good text book for the subject.
Use for Siding of Hands and Feet.......2006-12-07
I've had no problems underlining in pencil with this book. either underline lightly or place a piece of cardstock between the pages. despite the fact that a lot of bone features are ignored, it is worth the price to buy it used just for the siding of the carpals, metacarpals, phalanges, tarsals, metatarsals, and pedal phalanges.
In our human skeletal analysis lab we have at least 4 texts, including this one. Each one is lacking something the other has. It seems common for these types of texts. I've had to buy this book, and another, in addition to the required text for the course just to cover all aspects about osteology (except pathology, which is covered in a book that costs 180 bucks).
That said, if you're a physical anth major, you'll probably need more than one book anyway, since we need to know every feature on each individual bone.
useful text, but not perfect.......2006-11-09
This book is a good introductory text, and I have referred to it many times, but I can't give it 5 stars...
As someone else said, the descriptions of features on the bones were sometimes lacking.
And while the photos are big, bold, and very helpful, sometimes the single-source lighting throws shadows over features on the bones. This didn't bother me too much because I was lucky enough to study in a lab with dozens of specimens I could use to familiarize myself with the landmarks, but for students who don't have access to real bones, these photos may be insufficient.
A dissenting opinion...........2004-01-10
In order to temper the unrestrained exuberance of the former reviews, I think it is appropriate to point out what I believe are a couple of major shortcomings of this book.
Yes the photography is very good. However, the paper it is printed on is not so good. Don't try underlining any of the text with a pen or pencil; the line will be transferred to the following page. The thin paper combined with the ink on the opposite side forms a tracing paper when you mark on the page. For a price that completely wrecks a hundred dollar bill, I think the customer deserves more. Mr. White is surely wagging his vestigial tail all the way to the bank.
Most importantly, the descriptive sections of the text are very brief, with many bone features ignored. The Running Press reprint of the 1901 edition of Gray's Anatomy has a much more thorough (and much much cheaper) text of bone anatomy, although many of its formerly great illustrations have been reduced to dark blots (evidently in an effort to make the text more legible). In White's book, I would have preferred that seemingly precious text space be used for description of anatomy rather than the author spinning his (and academia's) fairy tales of how fish turned into men.
Excellent.......2003-04-14
This book is an excellent source for information on learning the bones, how to side them, and many other interesting aspects of osteology.

One in ten Americans suffers from thyroid dysfunction, yet most don't realize the mental and emotional components of this condition. "This is the first book to explain the hidden suffering that many patients have difficulty expressing and the first book to provide new ways of helping address and heal this suffering," promises author Ridha Arem, M.D., associate professor of medicine at Baylor College of Medicine and chief of endocrinology and metabolism at Ben Taub General Hospital, both in Houston, Texas. This book explains the link between stress and thyroid imbalance; how thyroid imbalance affects your emotions, sex life, and relationships; and how to cope with the effects of this imbalance. Because thyroid problems primarily strike women, a whole section deals with women's health issues, such as infertility, miscarriage, postpartum depression, premenstrual syndrome, and menopause. Another section provides practical tools, such as evaluating lab tests and self-diagnosis techniques, dealing with treatment problems and side effects, and preventing memory lapses and depression. The book covers lifestyle choices that affect thyroid health, such as diet, supplementation, and exercise. Frequent case studies (usually told as first-person narratives), checklists, and questionnaires help to simplify the material and make it easier to check the medical information against your own situation. Each chapter ends with "valuable points to remember," making review easy. If you suffer from thyroid imbalance, or think you might, this book could be a valuable resource. --Joan Price
Book Description
It's sometimes called a hidden epidemic: One in ten Americans--more than twenty million people, most of them women--has a thyroid disorder. At any given time, millions of people have an undiagnosed thyroid disorder and experience a chronic mental anguish that almost certainly arises from the very same source. Yet many primary-care doctors still don't recognize the importance of the thyroid in mind-body health--and its especially crucial role in women's well-being.
The Thyroid Solution is a must-read for anyone who suffers from a thyroid condition. It's the first mind-body approach to identifying and curing thyroid imbalances. Written by a medical pioneer and leading authority in the field of thyroid research, this groundbreaking book offers Dr. Ridha Arem's practical program for maintaining thyroid health through diet, exercise, and stress control--and through his revolutionary medical plan, which combines two types of hormone treatments with astounding results. Inside you'll discover
- The thyroid basics--what it is, where it is, what it does
- How thyroid hormones affect the brain and alter mood, emotions, and behavior
leading to brain fog, weight gain, loss of libido, infertility, anxiety, and depression
- What tests to ask your doctor to give you--and what they mean
- The vital connection between stress and thyroid imbalance
- The benefits of antioxidants and essential fatty-acid foods and supplements
- How to recognize and cure the deep and lingering effects of a thyroid imbalance
Filled with remarkable patient histories and interviews that document the dramatic results of Dr. Arem's bold new treatments, The Thyroid Solution now gives you and your doctor the tools you need to live a life with peace of
mind . . . and body.

Very helpful.......2007-08-23
I have hypothyroid and have found this book to be a helpful resource to which I refer frequently.
This should be one of your reference books if you have thyroid disease.......2007-05-16
This book is really a great source of introductory information on Thyroid function, disorders, treatments, and risks and failures of some treatments. I would also recommend Elaine Moore's books on this subject, but this would be a good first read. It will prepare you for her more advanced introduction of information. One of the highlights of this book was the constant sharing of personal experience stories that you will definitely find useful. The frustration of not being diagnosed until the symptoms kick your physician in the knee is lessened somewhat when you read of all the other people who've had similar frustrating experiences. This book will also arm you with an understanding that will help you spot disorders in your friends and family, quite possibly sparing them the long term of frustation and confusion.
I would be the first to suggest that endocrinologists and doctors in general will not spend the time to help you find out the cause of your thyroid disorder. For instance, is it bad or is it under an autoimmune attack? If the latter is the case, killing the thyroid alone will not address the autoimmune attack on other organs in your body. You really want to know how to intelligently ask your doctor questions like, "What happens to the parathyroids when you irradiate my thyroid?" "Can you guarantee I will not know the difference between what my thyroid used to produce and what some synthetic drug will do on my mind and body?" etc.
I'm not saying that Radioactive Iodine is terrible or in some situations, it may even be the best solution-- it is just not the only solution to these illnesses and for some reason, in the USA, RAI is the first option they always discuss using. Once Radiated, your thyroid is gone forever.
If you want to understand your illness so you can be your own advocate, this book is a great fist step. It is also quite inexpensive, compared to most special interest books on this topic. Scotty/Sioux City
The secret of the "Thyroid solution" is T3.......2007-03-13
This is the most comprehensive book about thyroid diseases on the market. Hypo and hyperthyroidism and their treatments are covered in great details. The author pays particular attention to the mental aspects of these illnesses.
Arem Ridha is way ahead of his colleagues in his recognition of T3 as a crucial ingredient in hormone replacement. 20% of the thyroid made by a healthy thyroid gland is T3. Yet when it comes to thyroid hormone replacement T3 is not prescribed by most doctors. If you've been on Synthroid and not feeling well, talk to your doctor about either adding the missing T3 or using the natural thyroid that contains T3 and T4 in one pill. There's a reason why the T3 containing preparations work better. I admire the authors admittance of not being able to treat patients despite the normal blood tests and his willingness to search for the solution for his patients. T3 is the secret ingredient of the "Thyroid Solution" described in this book.
The only shortcomings are limited coverage of Hashimoto and adrenal insufficiency (which often goes hand in hand with the thyroid disease). The thyroid resistance (Hypothyroidism Type II) isn't covered either. The author seems to be on the fence with the TSH. Some parts of the book question whether TSH is the golden standard and whether its wide 'normal' range can be trusted; other parts of the book advise to go by TSH. Will see where the author stands with his next edition.
All in all, this is a wonderful and much needed book!
This book contains far more thyroid hormone information than most physicians know........2007-02-05
The Thyroid Solution is the best single book I have read discussing thyroid hormone replacement. Dr. Arem Ridha provides a thorough explanation of the various thyroid hormone tests, including T4, T3, TRH, TSH, TPO, Antithyroglobulin, Antimicrosomal Antibody and TSab. Numerous case histories make the book more readable and understandable.
I was very impressed with the discussion of pins and needles pain and carpal tunnel syndrome correlations with hypothyroidism.
I especially enjoyed his discussion of the historical impact of hypothyroidism, upon Napoleon, Boris Yeltsin and the Bush family.
This book contains far more thyroid hormone information than most physicians know. This is a controversial statement, but it is based upon listening to the stories of many patients, testing them and observing them rapidly improve, after they received effective thyroid hormone replacement. Sadly, one of our fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue patients reported a seven year quest, involving 36 different health care providers, who finally treated her with thyroxine. Although she finally received a hypothyroidism diagnosis, she only had energy for two hours after awakening, before needing to return to bed. After Florida Detox correctly treated her with T3, Cytomel, she had energy for 12 hours daily.
Another patient reported he had to consult five health care providers, before finding one who would prescribe desiccated Armour Thyroid extract for his aging mother. He thanked me profusely, explaining her depression and brain fog lifted 48 hours, after receiving a mixture of T4 and T3 thyroid hormone. He reported she began feeding herself and smiling again.
Almost without exception, our Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients regain energy for eight to twelve hours daily, when treated with liothyronine, T3.
If you are weary of physician after physician telling you your hypothyroid symptoms are "all in your head" and you need to see a psychiatrist, read this book and find a physician willing to prescribe a trial of T3 thyroid hormone. ZRT Laboratory, in Beaverton, Oregon has a blood spot finger prick test available to the public, which can measure T3, T4 and TPO. If you can not convince your doctor to order thyroid testing, you can call ZRT Lab (866 600 1636)and ask them to send the test kit to you. Perhaps, when you have the actual test results, you can find a physician knowlegeable enough to prescribe the hormones you need.
Many patients are placed on antidepressant medications which accelerate weight gain and obliterate libido, when they actually need thyroid hormone. Many others are placed on expensive statins, to lower cholesterol, when thyroid hormone would work better, with fewer side effects and many additional benefits.
Undiagnosed and inadequately treated hypothyroidism is epidemic, in the United States and contributes heavily to our obesity epidemic and spiraling health care costs. Many environmental factors contribute to obesity, including pesticide, hormone and plastic residues, in addition to overuse of antibiotics. Polychlorinated Biphenyls can interfere with thyroid hormone receptors.
If you are attempting to avoid pharmaceuticals and other non natural treatments, please realize thyroid hormones are natural to our bodies.
You no longer live in a natural world, unless you grow your own food on an organic farm, in New Zealand, Switzerland or some other remote location. You are probably drinking chlorinated, fluorinated water or bottled water contaminated with bis phenol or other estrogenic plastic residues.
Steven Sponaugle
Research Director, Florida Detox
I think this book has helped me alot........2007-02-01

Not pleased.......2007-09-09
I am not happy to report that we never received the book we ordered. We ordered the book on August 4, 2007 and told shipment would arrive by August 24th. On August 24th, we wrote in that we had not received the book. We never received a response from Amazon. On August 26th a duplicate of the book had to be purchased from the University Bookstore as the school term had begun and we were still without the needed book. The only positive thing I can say is that after submitting a claim on the purchased book, our money was promptly returned.

Reliable.......2007-04-23
I have shopped on Amazon before but this time I bought from another vendor through Amazon. I was skeptical at forst and wasnt sure when and how I will receive the book. I wasnt sure of the condition of it either. It arrived 7 days after my purchase in excellent condition.
The best handbook of dialysis.......2007-02-25
This is the best handbook of dialysis. This is equally true for the forth edition as for the first edition. You don't need to look for another concise book. No one sentence or word is redundant, every information is up-to-date. No doubt you can find there every practical information you are looking for.
Where have you been?.......2004-11-14
I am a 48 year old male who has been on hemodialysis for nearly 29 years. I pride myself in the fact that I have always been very much involved in my treatment. Over the years, I have made it a priority in my life to stay abreast of directions the dialysis industry has taken, some good, some not so good.When my docter suggested this book at first I was skeptical. I felt it was going to be another simplisticapproach to being a "good" patient as oppossed to being a knowledgable, proactive patient.
Although there is a lot of terminology which must learned. If the patient can persist,he/she WILL improve his/her standard of living. A must have for all in the field, Pt., RN, or MD.

The Bible for Any Dialysis Patient.......2004-01-21
"The Handbook of Dialysis" is a must have for anyone who is a patient on dialysis or who is the caretaker of someone on dialysis. This book is written with a Nephrologist or Nephrology nurse in mind, but patients and caretakers can learn a great deal as well. It explains the whole dialysis process including reuse, vascular accesses, anticoagulation, nutrition, infections, sleep disorder, etc. The dialysis process affects one's whole system.
A must for any nephrologist in training.......2003-06-11
This is about the best handbook there is in the field of dialysis. It somehow manages to marry the conciseness and practicality of a handbook that can be carried around in your whitecoat and at the sametime, contains enough information that is usually only found in huge reference texts. Not only does it contain management guidelines in easy to read tables and point form, but also contains a lot more information regarding the basic physiology and scientific evidence if you care to read the appropriate sections. The downside to this is that it appears less readable when you compare it to its main "competitor", the oxford handbook series, but there again, they serve very different needs. For the non-specialist who needs a three second reference, especially someone who works in Britain, I would get the oxford handbook. If you are a nephrologist/dialysis nurse in training, you will inevitably go back to the handbook of dialysis, sooner or later.

Worth buying.......2007-09-24
I bought this book through Amazon and quite happy with this service and book too.It is recommended for my masters course in Reproductive medicine.Thanks Amzone.
Excellent reference!.......2002-12-13
This text offers a straight-forward reference to assist in the management of gyn problems I commonly encounter as a Family Doctor. It goes into great detail about anatomy and physiology of gynecologic problems yet is well-organized for use as a "quick reference". For example, it took less than a minute to find the section on hirsuitism to refresh my memory as to what the initial work-up should consist of.
A must have for anyone involved in basic infertility.......2002-01-09
This is an incredible book. Speroff is still the king when it comes to infertility. In our OB/Gyn setting we refer to it many times in our treatment of basic infertiltiy and have had great success following the guidelines given by Speroff. It should be on the bookshelf of anyone who treats basic infertility!!
DEFINITELY A MUST HAVE.......2000-04-03
This is one of the bibles of the OB/GYN resident. Excellent reference for the in-service exams. Simple diagrams & tables make this text readable and easy to understand.
Book Description
The state-of-the-art, tenth edition of endocrinology's classic text bridges the gap between basic science and endocrinology clinical practice.

Book Description
From patient advocate Mary Shomon, author of Living Well With Hypothyroidism, here is the first book to tackle the weight factors specific to thyroid patients and detail a conventional and alternative plan for lasting weight loss.
An estimated 10 million Americans have been diagnosed with thyroid disease––most of them women––and for the majority of them, losing weight is mentioned time and time again as a primary concern and chief frustration––a challenge made more difficult due to the metabolic slowdown of a malfunctioning thyroid gland. For these thyroid patients, treatment alone doesn't seem to resolve weight problems. Further, they may struggle with raising basic metabolism, resolving underlying nutritional deficiencies, treating depression and correcting brain chemistry imbalances, reducing stress, and combating insulin resistance.
o The Thyroid Diet will identify these factors that inhibit a thyroid patient's ability to lose weight, and offer solutions––both conventional and alternative––to help. It will discuss optimal dietary changes, including how a thyroid sufferer should focus on a low–glycemic, high–fibre, low–calorie diet, eaten as smaller, more frequent meals to balance blood sugar. The Thyroid Diet addresses the use of various herbs, nutritional supplements, and prescription weight loss drugs, outlining the necessity of exercise, and drawing together all information into an integrated diet and exercise plan. It contains several different eating plans, food lists, and a set of delicious and healthy gourmet recipes. With handy worksheets to use in weight loss tracking, and a special resource section featuring websites, books, and support groups, here is vital help for the millions of thyroid patients dealing with weight problems.
o Mary Shomon has been praised by doctors around the country for her medical knowledge and sensitivity to patients' needs. She will be receiving similar blurbs for this new book. There are no other books on controlling your weight problems if you have a thyroid condition, yet over 40% of overweight people have evidence of a thyroid condition, and the weight loss problems facing them are unique and need a specific approach.

The Thyroid Diet: Manage your Metabolism.......2007-10-05
What a disappointment. Expecting something new here, but didn't get it. Basically this is the GI diet - and if that doesn't work for you then there are a whole host of other well known diets suggested. Though the book begins by giving numerous examples of people who seem to eat little but get/stay fat, it goes on to trot out the usual 'eat less and exercise more' advice.

Eye Opening.......2007-08-23
Although I am reading this book in stages, it has already given me so much information. I have started a new regime of supplements that has been approved by my doctor and I think I'm begining to see results. It is nice to know that I am not the only person having problems losing weight with a thyroid problem. I started to feel that it was only happening to me.
Thank you Mary J. Shomon
Not a diet.......2007-07-07
This is not a diet, it is an overview of all the other stuff Shomon has out. It is a recommendation of how to manage your thyroid, if you haven't read anything or are just finding out about a thyroid problem, it has lots of information, but if you have had thyroid problems and know about them, it is the same stuff you've always heard. I didn't learn anything new, and it really isn't a diet............is was disappointed. No new answers for those of us who are being treated with medication. If weight is a problem, as I have with thyroid problems, this is not the answer..........
Outstanding & such a relief.......2007-06-12
I literally cried as I read this book on hypothyroidism. I had radioactive iodine treatment in 1994 to treat Graves Disease. I guess the disease has been in 'remission' all these years. A few years ago I started feeling lousy. I was gaining weight no matter how active I was plus I was eating way healthy. I was losing energy almost daily, no matter what I did to try to energize myself. I had leg cramps; my cholesterol (the bad stuff) went up; blood sugar levels went up; I became iron deficient. All in a matter of a few months. My medical doctor harped on my weight and lack of physical activity. Mary Shomon's book liberated me, made me feel sane again, helped me realize that I am OK, I will survive, and that what I am experiencing is not all in my head. Thank you, thank you, thank you SO very much.
