Supplements for Hashimoto's.  This used to be really big, when Hashimoto's first came out, we were first starting to do Hashimoto's. People would be like, "I read this book about Hashimoto's, it makes sense, it sounds like me." And, so I came here, I went to my endocrinologist and it's just not working. I mean, I'm taking the medication, I'm not feeling any better, I'm feeling worse. And so I came over here to see if you have any like herbs and botanicals that'll work for Hashimoto's. And the answer is yes and no. Mostly no. Hashimoto's is an autoimmune disease. You have to dampen the immune inflammation first. So, there's so many things that can cause that. Stress hormones can cause that, bacterial infections can cause that, toxics can cause that.

Deficiencies in vitamin D, which you all have, can actually contribute to that or cause that, deficiencies in B vitamins can cause that. Stress hormones can cause that. I think I already said that. Pretty much anything that creates an inflammatory response. And if you have leaky gut, you have food sensitivities, you have food allergies, pretty much anything that you have that causes an inflammatory response is what really needs to be treated. Now, you may use supplements to treat those things. Okay, and in that case, it's highly individualized as to what you're going to treat for the person. Now, that's the no part, that's the no, there's not specific supplements for Hashimoto's. The yes part would be this. Okay? So in auto-immunity there's like five different parts to autoimmunity. I'm not going to go into all those parts. I'm just going to tell you there's a part that causes inflammation.

There's a part of the immune system that's supposed to dampen that attack from attacking your thyroid. There's another part of the immune system that actually does the attacking. There are supplements for each of those. And so the, like the fab five for auto-immunity is probably some form of an antiinflammatory. My favorites, like turmeric and probably polyphenols. So, my favorite is Resveratrol, vitamin D, glutathione. Glutathione is always low in auto immunity, for those of you who are ... may not be aware of that. And nitric oxide, I just saw something the other day online who looked like a personal trainer or a nutritionist saying nitric oxide was overrated. So, I'm not sure what it was overrated for, but it stops the kill, it stops the actual kill, the actual damage that's being caused by the auto immune problem. However, okay, if you still got a leaky gut, if you've still got small intestinal bacteria overgrowth, if you don't have enough hydrochloric acid in your stomach, you have H. pylori, you're stressed out of your mind.

You got all kinds of, you got ... whatever. All these other things have to be gotten rid of, or dampened for those supplements to work. So when you see why I say yes and no. And I give that kind of a yes. I use those supplements on most of our auto immune problem. And I don't use all of them, on all the autoimmune problems.
