Interview & Chat Room Discussion with Dr. John C. Lowe

*About Mary Shomon. Mary Shomon is author of the best-selling book Living Well With Hypothyroidism. The book was published in 2000. Dr. John C. Lowe and Dr. Gina Honeyman-Lowe strongly recommend the book for all hypothyroid patients (whether or not they have fibromyalgia) and their doctors. To get a copy, see Mary Shomon’s webpage for the book.

Mary is also guide of the world's most popular thyroid disease website. According to Jackie Yellin (Director of Education, The Fibromyalgia Research Foundation): "Mary Shomon's huge website provides patients with a clearinghouse of information on thyroid diseases. She keeps visitors abreast of recent studies and other important news concerning thyroid dysfunction and related conditions. This information helps patients decide what might be best for them in their quest for health. It's no wonder Mary's is the most visited site by patients with thyroid problems!"

"The immense popularity of Mary's site," says Dr. Lowe, "is due in part to her obvious devotion to helping thyroid patients learn about their illnesses and get relief from their suffering. She courageously presents exactly what the research shows--despite the likelihood of its displeasing some in the medical establishment and their commercial backers. Mary's work is a humanitarian public education endeavor that I heartily endorse."
