Thyroid Imbalance has Silently Mushroomed into a Common Illnesses Affecting 1 out of Every 10 Americans
Local Drs. Unleash the Solution to this Illusive Illness
Marin, CA – A revolutionary new book explains how anxiety, depression, brain fog, rage, panic or sleep disorders can all be due to easily-treated thyroid imbalance. In the latest book from bestselling authors, Richard Shames, MD and Karilee Shames, RN, PhD they offer a breakthrough approach to treating thyroid-caused psychological issues. THYROID MIND POWER: The Proven Cure for Hormone-Related Depression, Anxiety, and Irritability (Rodale Books) is a groundbreaking expose’ of the crucial relationship between the growing thyroid epidemic and common emotional conditions.
Drs. Richard & Karilee Shames along with their daughter Georgiana Shames, are sharing information, answer questions and illuminate the truth about this highly illusive issue – what the medical profession does not want you to know/won’t bother to tell you! The public is welcome to see them Thursday September 1, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. Book Passage, 51 Tamal Vista Blvd. Corte Madera, CA.
An astounding 1 in 10 Americans has some degree of thyroid imbalance; even mild imbalance can cause severe symptoms. This husband and wife duo were first inspired to educate the public about this vital health issue, having sold over 300,000 books on the topic; creating a buzz with favorable mentions in a wide variety of publications, including O, Shape, and Elle Magazines.
Not only are thyroid imbalances frequently undiagnosed, but also most practitioners do not fully realize how completely “the brain drives the mind and thyroid drives the brain.” These authors show how millions are misdiagnosed and wrongly prescribed expensive, ineffective anti-depressants and tranquilizers. Billions of dollars from both private and public sources are being spent for costly psychological medicines to handle these problems, when inexpensive thyroid medicine would be more effective and have much fewer side effects.
.
They have seen firsthand, repeatedly in their Northern California medical practices, that by improving your thyroid balance, you can improve mood, sleep, memory, cravings, and many other emotional aspects of your life. Drs. Shames have been using this program of successful patient care for over 25 years. Now, for the first time, it is available to all.
This more appropriate and less costly treatment offers a new direction
for a currently over-burdened health care system.
Their three-step program to Thyroid health involves:
1. Uncover a hidden cause for many mental symptoms—using a carefully crafted questionnaire and the enhanced accuracy of self-ordered home lab tests.
2. Discover improved and more efficient treatments for each of the five main Thyroid Mind Types: Moody, Edgy, Foggy, Sleepy, and Needy.
3. Obtain the most effective long-term cure, with new recommendations for standard thyroid medicine, natural remedies, vitamins, and supplements.
As an added bonus, this new book features a well-written Oriental Medicine perspective in each chapter, written by the authors’ daughter Georjana Shames, L.Ac, who specializes in Acupuncture treatment of thyroid-related conditions.
This book offers hope for millions suffering from mistaken diagnosis and improper medication. Armed with THYROID MIND POWER, readers will be able to participate more actively in their health care, finding blessed relief for these unsettling and frequently occurring problems.
