I'm going to attempt to answer the question of, what is a natural treatment for Hashimoto's? And there is no one answer for that. I can have 100 people come in here with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and have each one of them have a different flow to it. And here's the reason why. This goes back to when I first started doing Hashimoto's, before anybody even knew what it was. And people would come in and I'd tell them they have Hashimoto's and they'd go back to their endocrinologist. And the endocrinologist say, "Nobody gets that." And as you probably know by now, if you're watching this, it's rampant. It's like an epidemic. Patients used to come into us and say, "Well, I went to my doctor, he wanted to give me this medication. So I came to you because I heard you treat Hashimoto's."

So I would go through about what I'm about to tell you. And they would go, "I didn't come here for that. I just came here to see if you've got an herb for Hashimoto's." Because that's where it was at that point in time. It was highly misunderstood and it still is with a lot of patients who come in here. Here's the overall deal with Hashimoto's. It's an autoimmune problem. It's primarily first and foremost an autoimmune problem. It is secondarily a thyroid problem in fact. And that's the key. So you treat it first as an autoimmune problem. And then you have to kind of go through autoimmunity. What flares up autoimmunity? Stress flares up autoimmunity, poor sleep flares up autoimmunity, over exercising flares up autoimmunity, poor relationships flare up autoimmunity.

Food antigens, so food sensitivities, food allergies, gluten being the main one, but there can be many more. If you're sensitive to gluten, usually there's a number of other cross sensitivities that you're going to find. Chemical sensitivities, environmental toxicities. These are all the things that... And that's not all of them. I mean, there's nutrient deficiencies, there's just a number of things that will flare up your autoimmunity. Too much salt, low blood sugar, low blood pressure, all of these things are aspects of physiology that when a person comes in here with autoimmunity, this is something that we look at.

This is the way we look at it. We look at it from the full breadth of what types of things can be flaring up. An immune response against a certain tissue, and at this particular point, that tissue would be your thyroid. If a person comes in here and they've not been on thyroid medication, or they've only been on a little thyroid medication for a fairly short period of time, let's say, less than two years, you can frequently get that thyroid to calm down and start working properly if you do a good history on that person, find out within the framework of all of those things, what's actually causing them to have an inflammatory response against their immune system that then in turn attacks Hashimoto's, attacks your thyroid and creates Hashimoto's responses.
