WHY WE WROTE THIS BOOK

Karilee Shames, a nurse, was dating Richard Shames, MD, when she was experiencing multiple uncomfortable symptoms. Their exploration became a 25- year journey to understand the multiple gland imbalances that have similarly impacted all three of their children.

They have spent the last 25 years specializing in natural approaches (when possible) to multiple gland imbalance, which is fast becoming epidemic in proportion, due to the increasing pollution of the air, food, and water.

All too often, this crucial connection is missed by conventional medical care. This book helps readers to make this crucial connection, and to learn how to improve this situation.

BOOK SYNOPSIS

This book explores one of the most serious omissions in modern medical care - the pervasive, bothersome illnesses caused by environmentally induced gland imbalance. The authors, a doctor-nurse team for over 25 years, have an elegant and profound solution.

Feeling Fat, Fuzzy, or Frazzled is the first book written by health professionals to address the reasons for and the many uncomfortable symptoms of multiple gland imbalance. It also is unusual in offering questionnaires that help readers determine their unique gland profile. It further recommends and explains home-based diagnostic tools to more accurately define the specific hormonal deficiencies. Finally, it suggests natural remedies and other approaches to help rebalance the glandular system.

Given that our glands control EVERY aspect of our metabolism, cell reproduction, and immunity, the importance of this topic to one's general health cannot be overestimated. This book focuses mainly on the three most important
hormone-producing tissues - thyroid, adrenal, and sex glands. It provides a detailed explanation of how to determine your main gland imbalance, and immediately begin successful re-balancing efforts that is easily understood by a mass-market readership.

While focusing on the hormonal triad, it also presents a model for consumer empowerment, especially encouraging consumers in finding their own voices. In doing so, it can help to reshape modern medicine into a more responsive and egalitarian system.

Most of all, this book demystifies the current epidemic of gland imbalance that causing hundreds of uncomfortable everyday symptoms, allowing millions of health consumers to look and feel their best. It is simple, elegant and profound - the right medicine for our fast-paced ailing society. This powerful new program has the potential to change a great many lives - immediately - and forever.
