Wishes and Concerns of a Treated Asthma Patient: Due Consideration for Asthmatic People , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 49min
Many asthma patients (for which I am one), experience ongoing struggles, with frequent changes in their lung function. In addition to dealing with ongoing symptoms of breathing distress and worsening attacks of symptoms that can be severe or even life-threatening, we also have the added fear of not knowing where our asthmatic conditions will take us in the future, as we grow older. For listeners who are not asthma patients, I hope to convey to them an understanding of how our respiratory disorders can cause us genuine concerns and place a degree of limitations on our lives. Most of us know how to put on the brave face and to say the brave words from time to time and certainly we should remain as positive as we have the ability to be but as human beings, we all have our weak moments and frailties as well. While we are not seeking pity, we do simply want a reasonable degree of understanding, from our family, our friends and especially from our treating doctors. The American Lung Association so amply states it this way, "When you can't breathe nothing else matters." It is my sincere hope that listeners will find some nuggets of inspiration in the words I offer from the chapters of this audiobook. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James M. Lowrance.

Christian Apostasy Biblical Warnings , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 66min
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”. It has caused intense debate among fundamental Christian denominations and sometimes also debate among those of same-denominations, as to whether or not apostasy can truly occur among Christians (leaving one's faith). Obviously the most popular view is that one cannot lose salvation, once they have been saved (born again), regardless of their actions, following their acceptance of Christ's blood sacrifice, by death on the cross for the forgiveness of their sins and his resurrection from the dead, to grant them eternal life. The final authority on this subject however, is God's Word, The Holy Bible. Within the chapters of this audiobook, I quote many scriptures that warn of Christian apostasy and for perspective, I also refer to many scriptures that assure Christians of ongoing forgiveness of sins during their Christian walk and of their inability to lose salvation if they remain faithful in Christ. Additionally, I give commentaries on these scriptures and I discuss the Unconditional Eternal Security subject, at considerable length. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James M. Lowrance.

When Partnering with Your Medical Doctor is Difficult: The Present Day Dilemma in Getting Proper Medical Care , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 45min
The health care - medical professional's field is among the most important callings on earth but doctors and medical workers have very difficult and very stressful jobs. There has also arisen an unmistakable doctor-shortage in many areas of America. This has increased the workload of medical staff and professionals and some of them are experiencing a condition referred to by medical research groups, as "burn out". Doctors can be seriously affected both mentally and physically by this very real and increasing problem. At the same time, medical patients can also be negatively affected, in-fact medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the US currently and the problem has potential to become even worse. Is there a solution to this problem? As a layperson, non medical professional, I certainly cannot predict either a solution or a worsening of the problem. As a patient with diagnosed medical disorders, I can however express what I believe to be essential actions from both the patient's and doctor's side, that must be taken in order to help us become better-partnered. It is my sincere hope that whether medical professionals read the chapters that follow or medical patients do, that they will consider these suggestions that are backed by medical research quotes and statistics, with an open mind. The future of our Nation's health care, depends on the actions we take now, to improve and to maintain its quality. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James M. Lowrance.

A Complete Look at Hypothyroidism , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 66min
A Complete Look at Hypothyroidism includes key information I have gained from my own extensive research and experiences as a hypothyroid patient and from my experience as Editor and Moderator of a thyroid disease website. The information also comes from e-mail and forum correspondence with 1,000s of other hypothyroid patients, since year-2003. 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. In March of 2003, at age 40 I experienced the onset of autoimmune thyroid disease but was unaware for several months of what was causing my symptoms. Through blood lab testing, I was found to have hypothyroidism caused by Hashimoto's autoimmune thyroiditis. Due to the slow onset of the disease and my delay in starting treatment for it, I also developed co-morbid (co-occurring) conditions. I have since adjusted better to my treatment and have seen significant improvement in symptoms. 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. Following my searching and researching, I began writing online articles in the year 2005 for websites including BellaOnline Thyroid Health - where I also served as editor and forum moderator and Suite101 General Health, where I received editor's choice awards for health articles. I have endeavored in this resource, to share the information of most importance to readers or newly diagnosed hypothyroid patients on the subject of hypothyroidism. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Rants and Raves of a Hypothyroid Patient: Wishes, Concerns and Lessons-Learned , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 65min
As a Thyroid Patient Advocate, I have experienced many of the same struggles my fellow patients go through. In the chapters of this book I share some of the more helpful knowledge I gained as a newly diagnosed thyroid patient, beginning in year 2003, to the present. I also express a few opinions and take a look at some of the controversies that have continued between medical professionals and patient advocates in regard to symptoms, diagnosis and treatments for hypothyroidism. Along the way, you'll find that I added a few "rants and raves" in regard to these issues but hopefully nothing that might be perceived as disrespectful or offensive to either side of the debates. This book is not intended to be an extensive manual but is intended to contain information most often sought by laypersons on the subjects covered. Contents: Chapter One: Those Crazy Thyroid Antibodies: (When the Immune System Goes Haywire!) Chapter Two: What it Feels like to be Hypothyroid: (Sunk in a Pit or Run Over by a Truck) Chapter Three: Finding a Good Thyroid Doctor: (Physicians who Diagnose & Treat Hypothyroidism)Chapter Four: Thyroid Hormone Brand Controversies: (Which Hypothyroid Therapy is Best?)Chapter Five: The TSH Blood Test Debate: (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Controversies) Chapter Six: Anxiety Symptoms with Autoimmune Hypothyroidism: (Anxious and Nervous Hypothyroid Patients) Chapter Seven: Unrealistic Expectations from Hypothyroid Therapy: (Imperfections of Thyroid Hormone Replacement) Chapter Eight: The Pituitary and Thyroid Gland Balancing Act: (Things that can Change Hormone Levels in the Body) Chapter Nine: Vitamin Deficiency Neuropathies in Thyroid Patients: (Peripheral Nerve Damage and Low Nutrients) Chapter Ten: Review for: The Thyroid Diet by Mary Shomon: (Weight Loss Plans for Treated Hypothyroid Patients) Chapter Eleven: Thyroid Patient Self-Advocacy is Essential: (Bein ungekürzt.

How I Brought Good from a Bad Online Publishing Experience: Creating Positive Outcomes from Negative Writing Gigs & Avoiding Them , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 32min
This is now my third short subject audiobook regarding a negative publishing experience I have had on the World Wide Web, that I was eventually able to glean positive things from. While I have written about other similar experiences in past audiobooks, this is my first time for relating this particular one. When content contributors recognize a downward trend in treatment from the administration of websites they enter into contract with, they should seriously consider taking some degree of action to overcome it, as an obstacle to their own growth as authors. Over time, this can make a difference within the field of content websites in general, who should be willing to offer contracts/agreements that are reasonably beneficial to writers and treatment toward them that is reasonably fair for their hard work. Certainly content websites should also protect their own interests and should be recognized for having the authority to correct their contract contributors and to also reprimand them when it becomes necessary. If such a relationship becomes unreasonably imbalanced in the favor of either party, the slighted party should be prepared to seek resolution to the problem. I believe it is important for sincere writers to move forward from negative experiences they may have in regard to online publishing, which is the subject of this audiobook. It is my sincere hope that the personal experience I relate within these headings and the advice I add to my related experience, will offer a bit of positive inspiration to my fellow online publishers, who are simply seeking to enter into honest relationships with ethical e-commerce companies. ungekürzt.

Difficulties in Applying for Social Security Disability: Respectful Disagreement and Suggestions for the SSDI Application Process , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 56min
The current U.S. Social Security Disability Income system (SSDI) grants benefits for those who cannot continue to earn an income through employment, due to chronic or terminal illnesses they may develop, that disables them physically or mentally. This is certainly a wonderful thing and it has saved many of its recipients from losing their homes and reasonable quality of life for their families and even from losing their lives early, by providing opportunity for continued medical care that would otherwise be impossible for them to obtain. With this said, there are also those 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. I wish to point out some of these policies, within the chapters of this audiobook but I endeavor to do so, without appearing to be casting dispersions on the SSDI system as a whole, which is a wonderful program and a privilege for disabled citizens. 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. It is my sincere hope that the words I offer in this audiobook, contain proper perspective and that nothing contained herein, is perceived as unnecessary ranting on my part but that my thoughts will rather add some intelligent, logical perspective to this very difficult subject. ungekürzt.

Medically and Spiritually Treating Chronic Thyroid Disease Anxiety: Treatment Experiences and Informed Medical Advice from a Christian Perspective , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 48min
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. General statistics of belief in God are considerably high, with some polling data indicating that 9 out of 10 Americans believe in a supreme being. Some polls that have concentrated on particular groups of people have revealed similar statistics. In the year 2004 for example, a poll conducted by HCD Research, revealed that 3 out of 4 medical doctors (of the 1,100 respondents who participated); believe in divine intervention, in the form of miracles. I have personally read books by Thyroid Patient Advocates (proactive patients who help to inform fellow-patients), who include chapters in their books that encourage seeking spiritual as well as medical help for the emotional symptoms of thyroid disease. I feel this is not an improper thing to do at all and in-fact, I personally believe that faith brings more hope to those who are seeking recovery and a better quality of life, in the midst of suffering medical health conditions. Over the past few years, I have corresponded with other patients, who also expressed their Christian faith to me and I have derived much of the information within the chapters of this book, from my responses to their questions and their requests for advice regarding emotional symptoms. In addition to well-studied layperson medical advice that I offer , it is my sincere hope that the chapters of this book also help to bring spiritual comfort and encouragement to those who are suffering thyroid diseases that have presented them with difficulties in treatment or challenges with learning to cope with their hypothyroid or ungekürzt.

Bashing Authors with Negative Reviews and Feeling Fully Justified: Trashing Writers of Bad Books for Fun and Self Confidence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 24min
Trashing Writers of Bad Books for Fun and Self Confidence Sample From The Book: Some readers might think this is going to be another crackpot book, written by some bitter person who has nothing better to do, than to vent his frustrations toward people who are not actually his problem...I'm not some bitter guy, I just don't like seeing all of these so called "authors" out there publishing their trashy little books. I'm not talking about sexy novels either because those are probably the best thing going. I'm referring to books that don't meet a quality standard that we book reviewers know to be required for somebody to claim they have reached the level of being an actual author. I have reviewed lots of books that are trashy with their grammar and their punctuating and with their spelling. These do not get past me without a bash review being placed on them. I simply won't let them pass through my screening gates because they don't deserve to be recognized as books worthy of being read. I sometimes have authors respond to my bash reviews, telling me that the misspelling typos I mention being found throughout their book, shouldn't be the case because they ran their book through some word-check or error-check programs but that doesn't mean squat! Those programs can be very unreliable and if they really want their book checked for spelling mistakes, they need to get an experienced editor involved or better yet an entire publishing company staff! The Chapters: First Chapter: I'm Really Not a Bad Person, I Just Don't Like Some Books! Second Chapter: Watching the Trends by Keeping Up with Group Members Third Chapter: I Never Thought Becoming a Reviewer Would Be So Easy!

Legitimate Reasons for Nonacceptance of the Theory of Evolution: Why Evolutionary Theories Do Not Make Sense , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 53min
It is of course claimed by evolutionists and atheists who hold to evolutionary theories as explanation for all that exists, that creationists, intelligent design proponents and those who hold to biblical views, are simply “in denial” regarding scientific proofs for Darwinism, which became what is now recognized as “evolution” and that is claimed by some in the scientific community, to now be “as factual as the laws of gravity”. The problem however with the view that evolution is proven, is the fact that it is not a single theory at all but a collection of a vast number of theories. Branching off from the main theory, are what we might call “sub-theories” including the big bang, the wide range of guesses in regard to the age of things that exist and their varied guesses about which species evolved into advanced ones, going back to their earliest time of existence. The proposed answers for all of these sub-theories range greatly between scientists who study them. Within the chapters, I present some of the biggest questions that remain unanswered by the proposed Theory of Evolution. It might be said by proponents of the theory that it is “ridiculous” to question it because science has yielded all of the answers that are needed, to bring substantiation for everything that exists having come from an unguided, non-purposed, undirected impersonal process called “evolution”. We who are observing the announcements by scientists who claim to be finding evidence for evolution within cell studies and fossil finds, would disagree however and we absolutely do not see our stance of not being convinced that evolution is as factual as gravity, as being ridiculous or a view of denial, in the least. These questions we pose regarding lack of proof for the theory are absolutely legitimate. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James M. Lowrance.
