Who says Hashimoto's isn't treatable/reversible?

For those who are unfamiliar, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition where your immune system attacks your thyroid gland and creates a hypothyroid state in most cases. Traditionally, this condition is treated by addressing the low thyroid hormone levels, usually with a T4 medication (as most docs don't test Free and Total T3 levels). However, nothing is done to address the high anti-thyroid antibodies because "there is no treatment for autoimmunity" outside of total immune suppression.

Nay nay we say.
Replacing the hormones alone is like taking Advil when you have a nail in your foot. Pain might be reduced but the problem will fester. Eventually the immune attack will kill the thyroid completely.
Patient case: In October 2016 a 55 y/o female presented with chronic fatigue, lifelong history of IBS and weight gain. Labs revealed a Free T3 level of 2.1 (normal range is 2.0-4.7), Total T3 of 71 (normal range 72 - 180) and Anti-TPO antibodies at 312 (normal is less than 35)! She had been taking Synthroid for 15 years.
We started an intensive functional program to address the GI issues, light environment and inflammation and had her switch from Synthroid to Armor thyroid (which is T4 and T3).
She has lost 25 pounds, the IBS is gone, energy levels restored 100% BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, her anti-TPO antibodies went from 312 to 202. Her immune system is regulating and the attack is slowing.
This is how it's done. If you have or know someone with Hashimoto's, reach out to me by calling The CIIT Center at 516-243-8660 and let's get started. If you are in the NY Tri State area, come to the Thyroid Lecture I am doing at The CIIT Center on March 28th.
