I thought I was dying young, and couldn't get help from the regular doctors.

Now I'm happy that I'm living my life, instead of just surviving it. "

I can't tell you what a difference your work (Coaching Sessions) has made in my life!

Pamela Ogborn

Both your book and the coaching session I had with Dr. Rich were positively invaluable to me in my search for the correct treatment of Hashimotos. I have recommended Thyroid Power to numerous people, including several of my own patients (I'm a psychologist), whom I believe to be either undertreated or misdiagnosed. I simply cannot thank you enough! 

Dr. Sam Von Reiche

Until I consulted with Dr. Shames I felt I had exhausted all means of dealing with my illness. Upon reviewing my medical records Dr. Shames offered me encouragement and new insights as to what might be contributing to my continuing symptoms. My only regret is not having known about Dr. Shames earlier. I highly recommend, to anyone who still does not feel their best with autoimmune thyroid disease, a coaching session with Dr. Shames. It has greatly benefited me and I cannot say enough positive things about my experience in dealing with him. If anyone has any questions and would like to contact me please feel free to do so.

Sincerely,
Kim Cox

Hi Dr. Shames...
     About a month ago, we spoke on the telephone, and had a follow-up thyroid coaching session. I wanted to send you this email message to Iet  you know that I found out about a week and a half ago that I'm going to have a baby! :) My husband and I had tried for quite awhile. with no luck, but I've been taking Armour Thyroid since May this year, and I have felt better in the past few months than I have ever felt before. AND, we were able to conceive! :) This is my first pregnancy, and I know that I had horrible symptoms when my thyroid was undertreated (including the inability to conceive), and my phone consultation session (my first one in April with you) was my first major step to seek proper treatment, and I just wanted to say thanks very much for  being there and being available to mentor and educate. and for being open-minded about different methods of treatment.! :) 

     I cannot possibly put into words the tremendous amount of joy that I feel. This is the greatest blessing of all. I just wanted to share the news. :) Regards. C.J.

Dear Dr. Shames and Karilee,
     Thank you for your help and support. As you can see I am running a little behind on my things to do list. After being diagnosed with Hashimoto thyroiditis, I read several books on the subject and then found Thyroid Power by Dr. Shames. I was so engrossed in the book, I read it cover to cover in a couple of days. Armed with this information, I tried working with my existing doctor. After more futile effort I decided to have a conference call with Dr. Shames. I spent over an hour talking with Dr. Shames. He was very helpful and he listened to me, he gave me specific suggestions and I took those recommendations to a doctor I found on his physician referral. 

    Dr. Shames gave me very specific recommendations and several ideas for improving my immune system, even beyond those covered in his book. I am doing dramatically better and expect that to continue. 

    I highly recommend coaching sessions with Dr. Shames. Start by reading his book, then write up your medical profile and send copies of your lab work. I plan to use Dr. Shames in future coaching sessions it was so helpful.

M.M.

The changes are many and diverse; I have been given another engine for my motor! From exhaustion to brimming with activities; from depression to joy of living; from sedentary to active; from poor diabetes control to improved; from being unable to stretch muscles to targeting and moving them with increasing endurance. General energy, improved state of mind. Yippeee-I can't wait to continue...

Thank you Dr. Shames. All of my troublesome symptoms are now gone. This has made a world of difference to me, and changed the way I live my life.

Prior to finding Dr. Shames, I had many bad experiences with primary care physicians who either had little understanding of thyroid functions or couldn't believe anyone needed the amount of thyroid medication that I needed  per day.

My doctors at my HMO lowered my dose of thyroid medication  per day over an 8 month period until I was down to 1 grain per day. By that time, I had had a 90+ day period, my face was noticeably swollen, and I could barely add and subtract! I thought I was losing my faculties and felt helpless.

Then I found a good thyroid website where I ordered Dr. Shames book THYROID POWER, and read it cover to cover. I started seeing Dr. Shames approximately 6-7 months ago and am finally feeling as good as I did 30 years ago! For me, I needed 2 types of thyroid medicine and adrenal support. I finally feel like a whole person.

Thank you Dr. Shames!

Dr. Shames has helped me bring my health back into balance. Having been hypothyroid for a number of years, I grew accustomed to feeling under the weather. After a few months of working with him, I feel vibrant and alive, with greater equilibrium.

I had a serious eating disorder about 22 years ago. I was given Armour thyroid at that time, which did alleviate my depression
somewhat. I was able to work, however, I was unable to exercise at all. To do so created fatigue that kept me in bed for one to two days. I went on like this for years.

The thyroid treatment I have conducted with you has changed my life. I feel like someone has given me back my life.
I exercise and feel great. I am getting stronger, physically and mentally.

Sincerely,

It is my good fortune to have been treated by Dr. Shames for a thyroid deficiency. My symptoms muscle spasms, headache, extreme fatigue and lack of mental concentration. Dr. Shames worked with me over a period of a year, my symptoms have disappeared. I am thrilled to say I'm highly improved, and I know I would not have had this success without Dr. Shames.

Thank you so much for your care. I feel like you've given me my life back. I feel like I am 25 years old again. I wish i had done this 5 years ago. Thank you.

The difference between how I feel now as opposed to prior to my start of treatment with thyroid medication is like night and day. I have significantly more energy, my moods are much more positive and I am far less irritable. It's as if a cloud has lifted from my life. In addition, I am no longer cold all the time and my food cravings have decreased. I truly appreciate Dr. Shames' approach of treating the patient and not the test results. I am significantly happier with his treatment and approach of listening to the patient and how the patient feels, and responding to the patient as a whole person.

This has been a miracle! I had been doing terribly. Several doctors and a "million dollar" work-up, could not find out what was wrong. You listened carefully, when no one else would. You figured it out, and have given me my life back. You asked me in one sentence how I feel.......

I FEEL WELL AND I FEEL ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!

I just saw Dr. Shames for my thyroid health problems. I was overwhelmed by the warm response I received from him, as a doctor and as a person in general. He diagnosed me clinically hypothyroid. I had my thyroid removed when I was 11 years old in 1989 because of medullar cancer... Since my thyroid removal I have experienced numerous symptoms of hypothyroid but never knew the cause, nor that it was something to be alarmed about... Today, I am relieved ...because what I was feeling was not just in my head, but a real clinical problem.
