Graves' disease is one of several causes of hyperthyroidism. In this book Dr. Zaidi, a leading endocrinologist, describes how to accurately diagnose and treat Graves' disease as well as other causes of hyperthyroidism. The medical treatment of Graves' disease has not changed in over 50 years. Sad, but true! The standard, usual treatment with radioactive iodine is a superficial, myopic approach. It almost always makes you hypothyroid (underactive thyroid state). Then, you need to be on thyroid pills for the rest of your life. In addition, radioactive iodine does not treat the underlying root cause of Graves' disease - autoimmune dysfunction, which continues to smolder and easily erupts into another autoimmune disease. Anti-thyroid drugs do not treat autoimmune dysfunction either. They provide only temporary relief. Often, symptoms return once you stop these drugs. Surgery also does not treat autoimmune dysfunction. It often leads to hypothyroidism as well as many other complications. Over the last 10 years, Dr. Zaidi developed a truly breakthrough approach to get rid of Graves' disease at its roots - autoimmune dysfunction. His patients have benefited tremendously from this approach. Now, it's time for you to learn about this groundbreaking discovery. Dr. Zaidi reveals what really causes the autoimmune dysfunction that ultimately leads to Graves' disease. His revolutionary treatment strategy consists of five components:

• His unique diet for Graves' disease (including original recipes),
• The link between Vitamin D deficiency and Graves' disease,
• The connection between Graves' disease and Vitamin B12 deficiency,
• How stress causes Graves' disease (and Dr. Zaidi's unique strategy to manage stress)
• The judicious use of anti-thyroid drugs
