Preventing Birth Defects: Understanding the Iodine/Thyroid Hormone Connection

Iodine deficiency and thyroid dysfunction are both commonplace, and during pregnancy place Baby at great risk for a variety of birth defects and unfavorable neurological outcomes. Autism and cerebral palsy serve as examples. In this book, I will reveal the nature of the threat and outline what needs to be done to save babies from a lifetime of challenge and a lifetime of adversity. Here I will present a most compelling case for both iodine supplementation and universal screening for thyroid hormone abnormalities in ladies who make babies. This book is about health, happiness, even life itself. I wrote it just for you.
