Hashimoto's treatment after thyroidectomy. Like anything else with the human body, nothing is as straightforward as you'd like it to be. So the theory is, and again, it depends on why you had your thyroid taken out. Did you have your thyroid taken out because you have Graves' disease? Did you have your thyroid taken out because you have Hashimoto's? Did you have it completely taken out or partially taken out? I'm assuming this question refers to completely taken out. And did you have it out because you had cancer? Okay.

So basically let's go to Hashimoto's and Graves', and Graves' is a very small part of the population, so I'm going to talk mostly about Hashimoto's. So when you have your thyroid out, and I've watched some thyroid surgeries years ago and asked some questions, and it seems like a lot of times they just take out maybe part of the thyroid in cancer. But in Hashimoto's and in Graves', they're usually going to take the whole thing out.

And so the theory is because of where the medical model is at this point in time in 2022, okay, they're still not addressing Hashimoto's as an autoimmune problem. They're still addressing it as a thyroid problem, which leads to the theory of I'm going to take it out and I'm going to be able to control your thyroid hormone levels by giving you the right thyroid medication. And that alone is a crapshoot, figuring out what is the right thyroid medication for that particular person. That's a whole other subject that I have a presentation on online.

And so it gets a little complex because of their model. All right? So two things. One thing is they don't always get all the thyroid tissue out, and it's attached to certain structures where it can alter things if you mess up. And the other thing is they're treating it as though it's a thyroid problem and not an autoimmune problem. So if you're still not aware that there's 40 triggers or more now, and I know I've got one online that says 39, but there's more since then. So if you're not aware of that and you're not removing those triggers, those triggers are still there. Very seldom does a Hashimoto's patient have one autoimmune problem. They usually have Hashimoto's and autoimmune gastritis or Hashimoto's and arthritis or they have Hashimoto's and cerebellar antibodies and on and on and on and on and on.

So in several different ways, the immune response is still a problem. And if you have thyroid tissue that is still remaining, you will have thyroid tissue that is still getting attacked. And have I had these patients come in? Oh, my God, probably a couple hundred over the period of time I've been doing this. And so, I mean, it's something I've seen a lot. And they respond well to treatment, because when you have an autoimmune problem
