“Sit and wait until Hashimoto destroys your thyroid gland. Once the thyroid gland is destroyed, we can start you on thyroid medication.”
This is the official approach that doctors take when treating Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
Does that sound good to you? If it doesn’t sound right to you, then you aren’t alone.
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease that will eventually result in the complete destruction of the thyroid gland if the disease is not treated. And . . . did you know this auto-immune disease can also lead to a cancer diagnosis? But does this have to happen? Do the symptoms of weight gain, cold intolerance, fatigue, joint pain, and hair loss have to last forever? No. They don’t. Hashimoto’s is a treatable disease if it is managed correctly. And the correct management focuses on more than just the thyroid. Mycotoxins are one area of concern that are rarely investigated as a complicating factor to the thyroid. Targeting areas such as the gut, specific nutrient deficiencies, brain imbalances, balancing omega fatty acid levels, and improving your electron transport capabilities are essential.
Targeting THESE areas (and others) can help stop the auto destruction of the thyroid gland by the immune system and may prevent permanent damage to the thyroid gland.
The reason most patients with Hashimoto’s don’t feel better is because they don’t focus on the correct things - the root of the problem. We have to clean up the underlying conditions before we can support the thyroid the way it needs to be treated.
Hashimoto’s is first and foremost an immune problem. With this autoimmune disease the body has gone into Sympathetic overdrive . . . Vagus activity . . . that fight or flight syndrome . . . run from a tiger response that gets turned on and hasn’t shut off in the last 2-3 years because of stress or a physical or emotional trauma.
Focusing on the thyroid component may help you feel a little better temporarily, but it won’t fix the problem Fortunately, there are ways to help improve immune function and get to the root cause of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. We use the E / D Occurrence protocol to help bring your body back to life.
