Download or read book Rethinking Hypothyroidism written by Antonio C. Bianco, MD and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-11-24 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this primer for patients, their families, and their doctors, a leading physician and scientist explains why the standard treatment for hypothyroidism fails many—and offers an empowering call for change. Hypothyroidism, also commonly referred to as Hashimoto’s disease, affects millions in the United States alone. It occurs when the thyroid—the butterfly-shaped gland that sits in your neck right above the front of your shirt collar—malfunctions or after thyroid surgery, causing thyroid hormone levels in circulation to drop below normal. Thus, treatment is aimed at bringing these hormone levels back to normal. This is done with daily tablets of thyroxine or T4. Because hypothyroidism is so common, we likely know someone who is on this type of medication. While most patients respond well to this standard treatment, about ten to twenty percent (some two to three million individuals in the United States) are far from living a typical life. They exhibit “foggy brain”—low energy, confusion, and poor memory. Many doctors have shrugged off their complaints, believing these symptoms to be unrelated to the thyroid disease. In Rethinking Hypothyroidism, Dr. Antonio C. Bianco, a physician and a scientist who has studied hypothyroidism and thyroid hormones for decades, offers an accessible overview of the disease’s treatment and the role of big pharma in shaping it, making the case that the current approach is failing many patients. But more than this, Bianco calls for alternatives to improve lives, and he equips patients and their families with the tools to advocate for other treatments.

Download or read book Becoming a Marihuana User written by Howard S. Becker and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OG Kush. Sour Diesel. Wax, shatter, and vapes. Marijuana has come a long way since its seedy days in the back parking lots of our culture. So has Howard S. Becker, the eminent sociologist, jazz musician, expert on “deviant” culture, and founding NORML board member. When he published Becoming a Marihuana User more than sixty years ago, hardly anyone paid attention—because few people smoked pot. Decades of Cheech and Chong films, Grateful Dead shows, and Cannabis Cups later, and it’s clear—marijuana isn’t just an established commodity, it’s an entire culture. And that’s just the thing—Becker totally called it: pot has everything to do with culture. It’s not a blight on culture, but a culture itself—in fact, you’ll see in this book the first use of the term “users,” rather than “abusers” or “addicts.” Come along on this short little study—now a famous timestamp in weed studies—and you will be astonished at how relevant it is to us today. Becker doesn’t judge, but neither does he holler for legalization, tell you how to grow it in a hollowed-out dresser, or anything else like that for which there are plenty of other books you can buy. Instead, he looks at marijuana with a clear sociological lens—as a substance that some people enjoy, and that some others have decided none of us should. From there he asks: so how do people decide to get high, and what kind of experience do they have as a result of being part of the marijuana world? What he discovers will bother some, especially those who proselytize the irrefutably stunning effects of the latest strain: chemistry isn’t everything—the important thing about pot is how we interact with it. We learn to be high. We learn to like it. And from there, we teach others, passing the pipe in a circle that begins to resemble a bona fide community, defined by shared norms, values, and definitions just like any other community. All throughout this book, you’ll see the intimate moments when this transformation takes place. You’ll see people doing it for the first time and those with considerable experience. You’ll see the early signs of the truths that have come to define the marijuana experience: that you probably won’t get high at first, that you have to hold the hit in, and that there are other people here who are going to smoke that, too.
Download or read book Functional Medicine written by Helmut W. Schimmel and published by Thieme. This book was released on 1997 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the updated English edition of the first volume of the acclaimed textbook by the leading German proponent of bioenergetic medicine who is also the founder of the VEGATEST-Method. Functional Medicine provides the foundation for understanding and using bioenergetics. It is grounded in both Oriental and Occidental medical knowledge and deals with the bioenergetic events which precede and accompany biochemical and organic pathology. Functional Medicine embraces the totality of regulatory functions of the organism and employs energy-oriented diagnostic methods to reveal the energetic events leading to an advanced diagnosis. The findings can then be utilized for the prevention of a disease, or in the face of the fully developed disease, they can provide the proper therapeutic guidance. The practice of functional medicine demands a thorough knowledge of clinical medicine, heteropathic, linked with a holistic attitude and a familiarity with the principles of acupuncture. It also requires a working understanding of stomatology, otorhinolaryngology and neurology. Necessary as well is manual dexterity and skill in the use of bioelectronic instrumentation. Although current conventional medicine saves lives in major acute infections and injuries, it offers very little to those with chronic disease. Functional Medicine offers a meaningful complement to clinical medicine and closes existing gaps in diagnosis and therapies.
