Hypothyroidism: Brewers yeast contains many proteins, vitamins and minerals.  It is used to make beer.  But this is not treatment for thyroid disease.  See your doctor and have your thyroid condition monitored and treated appropriately.

Question 3

Probably not: Manna would last only one day; by the next morning, "it became infested with maggots and stank." (exodus 16:20) ... Maybe moses changed his mind about keeping it around. Thus, i doubt you can still find it.  (taken with additions from http://www.Straightdope.Com/columns/read/1402/followup-wasnt-manna-placed-in-the-ark-of-the-covenant).
