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.

Within the chapters of this book, I wish to point out some of the central beliefs and historical characteristics of both the Catholic and Evangelical Christian churches. I will keep my discussion centered on major doctrines of each, due to the fact that both churches have a number of variations within their denominations and it would take literally volumes to go through each of these. It is my hope that none of my discussions that follow are perceived as an attack on either Catholics or Protestants because that is certainly not my intention.

In this eBook (approximately 4,121 words in length), I have endeavored to inform the reader with all of the basics regarding hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, including causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatments for each.

Presented within the chapters of this audiobook, are some of the most intriguing scriptural studies from the Old and New Testaments, with some of them also being considered controversial doctrines. This resource is written from a Christian perspective for consideration by others who believe the Holy Bible to be inspired, revealed knowledge, given to man by God himself, through those he inspired to write, by the power of the Holy Spirit.

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.

As the title of this audiobook denotes, Old Earth Creationism, which is the view held by creationists who believe that the earth may be extremely old, is being attacked not only by atheists and evolutionists, but also by those of the Young Earth Creationism view. Within the chapters of this book, I discuss reasons for seeing biblical substantiation and confirmation for an ancient earth, that has possibly existed for many eons of ages and that predates the creation of Adam and his domain (the current dispensation), by possibly millions or even billions of years.

I sincerely believe it is extremely important for legitimately disabled Americans to be cared for in a country that takes pride in helping those who are less-fortunate - not those who are looking for a free ride or for a chance to scam the system but who are truly and sincerely in need. There are policies practiced or enforced by the social security disability program for example that cause deserving applicants to be denied (the main subject of this audiobook) and in some cases, less-deserving or undeserving applicants to be accepted by the same benefits program.

Over 100 types of PN have been identified, according to medical research organizations. This demonstrates the fact that each person will experience the physical results of damaged or diseased nerves, differently than do their fellow patients. Some people feel more of the burning sensation while others may feel very strong tingling that literally feels as if a colony of ants are stinging them simultaneously on their feet and/or legs. Some PN patients are affected exclusively within their feet and they may experience not only tingling and burning sensations within them but they may also feel stabbing pains as well.

Prophecy is one of the most interesting and intriguing subjects in the Holy Bible. Jesus Christ fulfilled 100s of specific and detailed prophecies at his first coming and during his ministry on earth. The scriptures also give 100s of other detailed prophecies concerning the future second coming of Christ. The future of Christians and the future destiny of the world in-general are covered in these prophecies in amazing detail as well.

Some sources who express disagreement with the Genesis Gap doctrine of Old Earth Creationism, including those that are online, have implied that the teaching is based on only a few scant scriptures within the Holy Bible however; this is far from being the case. While they would likely never admit to it, they have not in-actuality, heard a complete representation of the teaching presented in full.

Thyroid disease patients can experience a number of different complications as a result of their hypothyroid (underactive thyroid) or hyperthyroid (overactive thyroid) conditions. Two of these complications are nerve pain and dysfunction, referred to as "peripheral neuropathy" and muscle weakness with possible atrophy (shrinkage of muscles), referred to as "thyroid myopathy".

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.

This audiobook is designed to provide the reader with an education on the extremely interesting subject of a pre-Adamic creation (before Adam), as revealed in the Holy Bible. I have published several other resources on the Genesis Gap Bible subject, ranging from about 7,000 to 27,200 words in length each. In this resource, I am providing a complete rundown of the teaching in only about 2,700 words.

Within the chapters of this audiobook, I address this emotional symptom of an underactive thyroid gland, including descriptions of how it manifests and how hypothyroid patients can deal with it and have it treated successfully to regain an improved quality of life. I will also include medical research study quotes, found on the U.S. National Insitutes of Health medical research information website (PubMed), which allows reprints for public education purposes.

How much does thyroid disease affect the quality of life of those who suffer them? Is this really an important or worthwhile aspect to consider and address? In my belief as a Thyroid Patient Advocate being treated for autoimmune hypothyroidism and having corresponded with 1,000s of other patients with both hypothyroid and hyperthyroid conditions since 2003, I absolutely believe this to be an important aspect.

The content of this book is the story about a personal struggle experienced by a man who has for obvious reasons requested to remain anonymous, but who suffered a very serious obsessive compulsive disorder for many years of his life, involving the area of sexual exhibitionism and addiction to pornography. I highly commend this man of Christian faith, for allowing others to understand and to learn from his experience, in spite of the anguish and guilt it caused him for many years of his life.

The debate over whether or not a person who has received salvation through Jesus Christ, can become lost again, has been around probably since the beginning of Christianity. It is a very difficult subject and one that contains some very unpleasant aspects and many pastors and preachers choose to bypass the subject for this very reason. The term that refers to someone who forsakes his faith is “an apostate”.

While it might seem unusual to see a book title on the subject of offering Christian encouragement to thyroid patients, it really shouldn't be considered unusual at all. Statistics by reputable polling organizations have shown that 75% of the U.S. population claims to be of the Christian faith and some medical estimates have revealed that over 30-million Americans are experiencing thyroid diseases.

Having written a number of Christian book titles and most relating only a small portion of my personal testimony and experiences regarding my personal relationship with God, I decided to write a new title including more of these aspects. With the fact that a lifetime as a Christian can include many unique experiences, as is the case with me and with the blessings being virtually innumerable, I include only a few select experiences and viewpoints of most significance to me.

This audiobook is for listeners interested in natural and prescribed treatments for Adrenal Fatigue, specifically. This audiobook is compiled from articles I wrote on the subject of adrenal fatigue between the years 2005 and 2009 that contain information on conditions commonly related to the syndrome, with emphasis on treatments that are available, of both the prescribed and natural types. Included in the information is discussion on the most suspected causes for diminished adrenal gland function, resulting in symptoms.
