Managing a Thyroid dump, I'm taking that the person that asked this question means I get an exacerbation. All of a sudden I got thyroid hormones running into my body, and although the question didn't expand upon the symptoms, I would assume you maybe get shaky, jittery, anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, tremors, those types of things when you get this thyroid dump, and it was relative to my medical doctor is trying different things. This is with the medication that they're already taking, and the things that I see that the medical doctors are trying, the endocrinologists, the alternative MDs are we're going to try to, of course, change your dosages.

We're going to try to do the different timing. We're going to have you take it at four o'clock in the morning. We're going to have you take it every other day. We're going to have you take that plus T3, and just all those types of things. That works for some people, but it doesn't work for a lot of people. It just doesn't, because we're talking about autoimmune thyroid disease here. The question was relative to Hashimoto's and autoimmune thyroid disease, and I still get these thyroid dumps and it drives me crazy, and so on and so forth. It's because you have to go back and understand that it's really primarily not a thyroid problem. It's really primarily an immune response, and you're getting the thyroid dumps because you have different triggers that are intermittently triggering your immune system to create what's called a little mini cytokine storm, or just a cytokine exacerbation.

All of your cells have these little cells called cytokines or inflammatory proteins. They go up and then they flare up, and then they either attack your thyroid peroxidase enzymes to cause you to make more thyroid hormone, or they attack your thyroid tissue, which may just beat you up and make you feel tired. They're two separate things, and some of you have both of those. Some of you have one. Some of you have the other. So basically what happens is you're missing the point when you say, "Well, I'm trying everything with the medications." What causes thyroid dumps? To the person who wrote this question, I hope I am translating your question properly, but what happens is there's like 40 things that could happen if you have not addressed it as a multi-systems problem that has to be corrected to dampen thyroid inflammation. Then it could be, oh my God, let me go down the list. It could be a stress response. It could be a broken down gut and you're eating a food, and you're having a sensitivity response.

It could be that you have small intestinal bacteria overgrowth and you haven't fixed that gas, bloating, distension when you're eating starches, fibers, or sugars. You eat one of those and then you blow. That could blow you up. It could be poor gallbladder function, and you're eating something that's making your gallbladder work too hard and that could flare it up. You could have blood sugar fluctuations where maybe some of you can't... You start dumping and you start not feeling good, and you eat and you feel better. That's a low blood sugar response, or you could have a response where you eat and you get fatigue after meals. That's a high blood sugar response and an insulin spike dropping. Those are inflammatory responses. The inflammation causes those cytokines to flare up. Has nothing to do with your thyroid medication. This is where the nice thing is, there's a lot more data coming out on this from the medical research communities, but they don't know what to do with it because they're not looking at it as an autoimmune problem.
