This audiobook is a detailed look at Adrenal Fatigue symptoms, diagnosis and treatment by a fellow sufferer, who has experienced this stress-related syndrome. I, the author, have also found treatments and lifestyle change methods that have been tremendously effective in relieving my symptoms. In the year 2003, during a time I was developing autoimmune thyroid disease and going through a prolonged and severe period of stress (chronic), I experienced this very real illness that results in mildly diminished adrenal function.

This is my personal story regarding symptoms, diagnosis and treatment for autoimmune hypothyroidism caused by Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Adrenal Fatigue and other metabolic-related conditions that developed co-morbid to my thyroid disease. I also share information regarding my symptom-struggles including emotional aspects and about my difficulties in finding a doctor experienced in treating thyroid disease with related conditions attached to it.

According to reputable medical sources, there are more than 100 identified types of Peripheral Neuropathies (PN) that are experienced by between 15 and 30 million people in the U.S. and at least 130 million people, globally (statistics vary somewhat among sources).

In this audiobook, thyroid patient advocate and veteran health writer James M. Lowrance, answers important questions thyroid patients have in regard to their hypothyroid or hyperthyroid disorders. These are compiled from select replies he has given to questions posed on thyroid patient forums, between the years 2004 and 2009.

Beginning in my teen years, I experienced intermittent panic attacks. Previous to this, I suffered prolonged episodes of free-floating anxiety (generalized worry and anxiousness). During my twenties, I found coping skills for my anxiety that were mostly self-taught, although I had seen mental health counselors for short periods of time in my late teens. These sessions were scheduled by my parents; during times I seemed to be lacking the ability to cope as I should, following major events, such as relocating to new schools.

Hyperthyroidism is a term that simply means a person has developed an overactive thyroid gland. The metabolism of a person with hyperthyroidism is sped up from too much thyroid hormone in their system, so that everything in the body is running at overdrive. When this happens, the person will experience hyperthyroid symptoms. The vast majority of people with hyperthyroidism (95%) experience Graves' disease as the cause.

I discovered through my own experience that thyroid disorders, especially hypothyroidism can include many complications. This inspired me to learn more about my disease and about thyroid diseases in general and about the conditions that are co-morbid to them. In this audiobook, I address the key subjects involving hypothyroidism including symptoms, causes, diagnosis and treatments. I also discuss the causes and types of hypothyroidism, affecting millions of people in the U.S. and worldwide.

Within the chapters of this book, I address the types of heart conditions or cardiac effects that thyroid diseases can have on those who experience them. I also discuss the treatments in general, that are administered to correct or to help control these potentially serious problems. It is my sincere hope that this resource helps to provide a worthy general educational resource for its listeners.

Hyperthyroid conditions account for about 20% of thyroid disease cases. The causes of an overactive thyroid gland can be varied but the most common cause is an autoimmune condition called Graves' disease. Complications can also occur with hyperthyroidism, including Thyroid Eye Disease, toxic diffuse goiter, hot nodules and myopathy of the muscles.

This eight section audiobook is comprehensive, as the author will say with the most humble motives, that this is one of the best, most thorough audiobooks available on thyroid disorders and health conditions that are strongly related to what we also call "The Metabolic Butterfly". The information is thoroughly researched and very high quality. Treatment methods - both medical and natural are discussed in detail.

Christians and even some non-Christians recognize we are near the very beginning of "the great tribulation". The beginning events, that lead to this seven-year time period of both God's and Satan's final wrath, is called "the beginning of sorrows" (Matthew 24:8). Several chapters of this book (containing 18 chapters) are dedicated to summations of these events in which Jesus said, "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be." (Matthew 24:21).

Both evolutionists and creationists should find this to be an interesting audiobook. There are questions posed from both sides of this ancient debate as to whether God created all that exists (creationists) or if it all evolved from nothingness in a continually forward progression for many eons (evolutionary theories). I will confess that I am creationist; however, I do give my fellow creationists much to ponder as well. At over 10,400 words in length, there's sure to be some nuggets of information that one might call "food for thought" within the words of this audiobook.

This book is, somewhat, a collage of chapters, each one being a stand-alone teaching. Lots of devotional books have varieties of short inspirational teachings from the Holy Bible and this book covers a variety of teachings as well. The book offers warnings and admonishments with warnings being to avoid some of the snares of the devil, whose deceptions can be powerfully deceiving.

This audiobook has a main theme being Thyroid. It can however, add enjoyment to hear a book with various medical subjects within it, that actually do have an interconnectedness to them. For example, thyroid patients often suffer with anxiety from hormone imbalance. Doctors can be inefficient in treating medical issues, including thyroid disorders. Heart palpitations are also common with thyroid hormone imbalances, which can also contribute to Adrenal Fatigue, etc....

While God allows temptation, he does not perpetrate it, unless it is not an evil temptation. A good temptation from God, which also means "testing and trials", might be the prompting of a Christian to help a person or persons in need. They may or may not do that thing that will help them and the Christian will lose rewards at The "Judgement Seat of Christ" (not to be confused with "The Great White Throne Judgement" for the unsaved). Part of Jesus' prayer he taught to the disciples was - "And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one."

Most non-Catholic Christians are not aware of the Protestant Reformation Movement of the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, without which, we would have no choice, even today, but to be Catholics. Does this sound strange to you if you're Protestant? That's because many Protestant pastors are not teaching their flocks about this Christian, world-changing event.

Exemplary beauty in a young lady can be an intoxicating thing to young gentlemen. This is especially true when she catches the attention and intentions of a man who is so stricken by her that he is willing to give her anything but his blood. Some women with extreme beauty use their asset of attractiveness to glean expensive gifts from men and afterward they will throw them away like ordinary blokes, so that they can move on to their next victim. These type women are often referred to as gold diggers but sometimes the tables are turned.

In this audiobook I offer tips to other indie/independent authors who are considering publishing their eBooks with sellers such as the Amazon KDP and Nook Press (Barnes and Noble) publishing platforms. I will additionally include some information regarding my personal experiences writing for content websites (sites that publish articles in exchange for ad-revenue shares) in consideration of the fact that many indie publishers begin their writing experiences with these types of venues.

These true Christian testimonies and doctrines are each presented in short chapters. They are, in many cases, summations of biblical teaching without the unnecessary filler information. A wide range of subjects are covered, and you'll hear about some subjects that are not often addressed in churches.

Stated simply, the Genesis Gap is the belief that angels rebelled against God at a time not revealed but that was obviously previous to Adam and Eve, who were given dominion of the Earth, after it was destroyed by God and recreated. This is why we see a finished heaven and Earth in Genesis 1:1, followed by an Earth that is covered by darkness and a catastrophic flood of water in verse two.
