This audiobook is also a section in The Everything Anxiety Disorders Book and is being made available in this seperate title, for those who wish to learn specifically about the distinguishing characteristics of mental and emotional disorders.

In the chapters of this audiobook, I present information regarding common emotional conditions of "neurosis" and the less-common conditions of mental illness referred to as "psychosis".

This book is not deeply scientific but rather relates the journey (mine) that a person will take generally who is seeking their ancestral history, including learning enough to understand how to interpret their DNA analysis. As I relate in my numbered posts/articles that follow, there can be satisfaction, surprises and at times, disappointments. All of this can happen when one takes a look at the results of ancestral DNA testing.

Bible study and especially deeper theology is far more vast than most people realize. People who teach from the Holy Scriptures can be very sincere but also sincerely wrong. This is error, rather than "false teaching" which always has an evil motive behind it, such as gleaning wealth from God's people, purposefully confusing them and claiming to be something they are not. This includes Prophets (some men really are Prophets), healers (this supernatural gift does operate today as God wills but some men use false chicanery), and the list goes on.

Many thyroid disease patients become aware of the fact that they are at an increased risk for developing thyroid malignancy but they are unsure how much that risk increases following diagnosis of their thyroid condition. Within the chapters of this book, I offer information regarding these increased risk factors, backed by reputable medical information sources.

Nutritional deficiencies have increased in frequency worldwide. Even the most industrialized countries in the world are seeing more cases of deficiency in vitamins, minerals, proteins, electrolytes and other essential elements in their populations. Some of these have reached near-epidemic proportions, even in the USA (i.e. Vitamin D Deficiency).

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.

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.

Most of the general population is not well informed about a common condition affecting the liver, that affects an estimated 29 million people in America alone. Up to 6.5 million of these people, will go on to experience inflammation in their livers or what is also referred to as "steatohepatitis." Many will eventually experience cirrhosis in their livers, meaning scarring/lesions that will begin to appear within the organ, which is irreversible and that can eventually lead to death or in the need for a life-saving liver transplant.

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.

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."

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.
