The first and only consumer book on Thyroid Eye Disease, by the author of Graves' Disease, A Practical Guide

In her meticulous, exhaustive and thoughtful book, Elaine Moore has written the definitive guide on Thyroid Eye Disease (TED), more specifically referred to as Graves Ophthalmopathy (GO). This common eye disorder is associated with the autoimmune thyroid disease, Graves' Disease, and also with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, a disorder of hypothyroidism. Thyroid Eye Disease: Understanding Graves' Ophthalmopathy will fill a void for much sought after information on this condition unique to thousands of Graves' patients worldwide. In her book, Moore also personalizes the information by sharing other patients' stories and narratives, helping to validate universal struggles people with this condition face.

Thyroid Eye Disease: Understanding Graves' Ophthalmopathy describes all facets of thyroid eye disease, including:

• genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors that contribute to GO
• signs, symptoms
• diagnostic tests
• risk factors
• conventional and complementary treatment options, with an emphasis on the role of self-care.
• complications
• psychosocial issues of living with GO

Macular degenertaion is the leading cause of blindness for those over the age of 65 and affects as many as 15 million North Americans. That number is projected to grow to an epidemic 30 million by 2010. "Getting old and going blind is not your only option! What most eye doctors are telling their patients is that there is no treatment for this disease... and that simply isn't true." These controversial words come from one of the nation's leading authorities on eye disease, Dr. Edward L. Paul, Jr.

This ground breaking book discloses the latest breakthroughs and treatments for macular degeneration. Debunking the myths that surround this blinding disease, Dr. Paul disucusses new research evolving in the field of nutrition as well as cutting edge therapies in electro medicine such as MCS™ Therapy. "MCS™ is a new safe, nonsurgical, inexpensive and painless treatment that is helping over 75% of the patients treated," says Dr. Paul.

In this book, you'll learn:

• How to dramatically improve your vision in 4 days.
• Why your eye doctor doesn't know about these new therapies.
• How inexpensive nutritional supplements may save your eyesight.
• How taking one simple action will improve your chances of recovery by 350%.

Conquering macular degeneration is finally achievable and there is now hope where previously there was none. Dr. Paul's book uncovers secrets that will truly become the medicine of the millennium.

Frances Lief Neer's work since 1981 tells of her life in the past twenty years. Since she went blind in 1981, she has written wonderful volumes that illustrate how individuals can thrive without the benefit of sight. She graces us with her wisdom; she teaches through her own example. This is the Frances Lief Neer we've all come to know and love.

At last, Ms. Neer unveils the rest of her story. Fearless throughout her long and triumphantly full life, Ms. Neer transports readers from the Long Island of her youth to her San Francisco of today. Through her still passionate point of view, her exceptional sense of humor and timing, the author reveals herself: highly motivated, never downtrodden and as vibrant and vital today as ever.

This is a complete, general cookbook to entertain your family and friends with some old and many modern scratch recipes that will save money and produce excellent baked or cooked foods.

This specially designed cookbook is a 'one of a kind' and will be especially useful for those with dry macular eye disease or very low vision. The recipes are heirlooms that are meant to be passed down through the generations.

Apart from gradually improving nearsightedness and instantly relieving eyestrain, the chimo techniques introduced in this book can particularily cure glaucom by unblocking partially blocked drainage systems and improve degenerated macula by removing drusen, which are the culprit of the disease, from the eye.
