My wife has Grave's Disease. We got your book and she is trying to follow your advice. My question: why do her eyes change shape? Some days they stick out quite far, like Igor in Young Frankenstein. Today you'd hardly notice she was ill. Why is this?

That is a sign of Grave's disease. Bulging eyes.

Hi, Richard.
The edema of the periorbital tissue has long been known to occur with Graves and no one knows why.
HOWEVER, the good news is: Since her's still changes from day to day, you can expect (if she will stop "trying" to do the wellness cure actually DO it) that her eyes will at least get as good as her best days.
Let us know how she does.
Walt
