Food sensitivities and Hashimoto's. Food sensitivities are... I think they're becoming much, much, much more appreciated. I have patients coming in, going, "I want my food sensitivities done. I want my food sensitivities done." So, years of a lot of us talking about food sensitivities is paying off because it's very, very, very important to an autoimmune thyroid case. In fact, I can't remember the last time I had... I don't think I've ever had anybody come in here who didn't have any food sensitivities, and I rarely have somebody comes in here who has less than 20 food sensitivities, believe it or not. So, food sensitivities are really, really important.

Here's the thing about Hashimoto's. It is a very complex condition. Clinical entity, it is just... I have pages. I have five pages that I review on literally every Hashimoto's patient that comes in and make sure that I've evaluated every single aspect of their case that could be flaring immune responses up against their thyroid, and one of them, of course, is the gut, and within the framework of the gut is food sensitivities, even though the gut is not where food sensitivities are actually made.

The bottom line is, people come in, and there's 42 different triggers for autoimmune thyroid disease. If you've heard me say 39 in the past, that's because there's three more that have come to light since then. Okay? And so, food sensitivities are a big one. Food sensitivities are a big one. They're a big one for Hashimoto's. They're a big one for setting off thyroids. They're a big one for those of you who are suffering from chronic fatigue. They're just huge, and they're way up there on the list of those 42, because there's an order in which you have to attack these autoimmune cases. I get doing all the testing, and doing the GI test, and doing the adrenal stress test, and I get you can do the pathology, test the pathogens, and you can do the chemical tests and all that type of stuff. All those things can be valuable, and I can get into the testing, and when you need to take it and when you don't need to take it on a later video.

But for now, then there's the food sensitivity testing, and for years, you've heard me say the food sensitivity testing out there is unreliable, and that's being generous, and then there's urine testing, and then there's hair testing and there's all this type of stuff, and food sensitivity testing, I'll just leave it at this, this is not the whole subject, but it should be antibody testing. You should be testing. You should be testing IGG, and you should be testing IGA, particularly, without getting into all that, but the IGA is really, really, really, really a big one to test because any food that comes up as an IGA is really screwing you up because it's affecting the inside of your intestines where 75% of your immune system are, and if you have Hashimoto's, you don't want anything irritating the 75% of your immune system, and food is something you're putting in there all day, two, three, four, six, for some of you, all the time. For some of you, lots of food. Okay? So, the potential there for exacerbation to your retire is huge.
