Endocrinology requires a new paradigm--a new way of thinking about hormones and their role in human health and quality of life. A new paradigm cannot be published in any journal for many reasons (I have tried.). The journals' editors and reviewers are products of the current paradigm and will only consider articles that stay firmly within that paradigm. More importantly, one cannot "fix" any part of the current paradigm in isolation--that would only create problems. I have been writing a book on this subject and have decided to start posting the chapters rather than leave it unpublished for years to come. I am hoping to pass on what I have learned through 14 yrs of research, thinking and experience in the diagnosis and treatment of hormone deficiencies.
I have all of the chapters of the book prepared in draft form. I will post them here in order as I improve them sufficiently. I will update and improve the chapters over time. It will be a work in progress--as long as I live.
