How the Medical Community Fails Hashimoto's Patients with Dr. Gil Kajiki

The symptoms can be different for everyone: weight gain, fatigue, anxiety, depression, heart palpitations, breathing difficulty, dry skin, dry hair, digestive difficulties, insomnia or hair loss. But the doctors keep telling you your tests are normal, or they are treating you with drugs, but you aren’t getting better. Maybe they know it is thyroid, but they are giving you thyroid meds that keep having to be adjusted upward because they are not fixing the problem, only masking it. Hashimoto’s is a disease where the immune system attacks your thyroid, but the medical community either can’t diagnose it, will tell you it’s just stress, or are treating the symptoms instead of addressing the underlying reasons your immune system is haywire! None of this is new to today's special guest, Dr. Gil Kajiki, the nation’s leading expert in non-drug management for hypothyroidism, low thyroid and Hashimoto’s disease and founder of the Valley Thyroid Institute, a worldwide center. In his new book Sick, Tired, Untreated and Abandoned: How the Medical Community Fails Hashimoto’s Patients and How You Can Get Your Life Back, he cites the thousands of patients who have come to him out of desperation because the doctors ignored them, made them think they were crazy, misdiagnosed or failed to fix what was wrong. They were miserable and suffering.  Dr. Kajiki is a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, Chiropractor (C.F.M.P., D.C.) and patient educator with clients on four continents.
