Can Hashimoto's go into remission? So a lot of people come to me and they come to me with Hashimoto's, maybe they come to me with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, maybe they come to me with bowel issues that and we find out that Hashimoto's is involved. And some obviously come to me with Hashimoto's. I have an intake form cause I want to see what that person's realistic expectations are. And most people are like, "I want to feel better, I want to get better, I want to start living a normal life again. I want to lose the weight, I want my hair to come back." But some people put down, "I want to be cured." And so I have to explain that Hashimoto's is an autoimmune problem. And to this date I don't think that there is anybody who knows how to cure an autoimmune problem. If there is, I don't know who they are and I would love to know who they are so I can figure out what they're doing.
So the goal for all auto-immunity, let's say somebody comes in with Hashimoto's, let's say somebody comes in with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Sjogren's, any of these things, celiac, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, any of these auto immune problems, the goal of the functional medicine practitioner, and I will say this, if you have a functional medicine practitioner who tells you, you can clear their Hashimoto's, hold onto your wallet and walk out the door because that is not going to happen. And those people tend to do a lot of crazy things to try to cure your Hashimoto's. But autoimmune can't be cured. So the whole goal, the whole goal is to put the person in remission.
The whole goal is to figure out what aspects of that person's physiology are creating inflammatory responses that are in turn creating immune inflammation, causing your immune system to flare up, and get overactive, and attack. In this particular case, we're talking about Hashimoto's. So the whole goal is to figure out every aspect of that person's lifestyle, whether it's sleep, whether it's sleep, whether it's stress, whether they're not exercising, whether exercising too much, but also bacterias, viruses, food sensitivities, food allergies, toxicities, toxins. Does the person have oral mucosal intolerance problems? That's the person who can't eat any foods because they're so reactive to everything. You have to look at all this, and then you figure out which of these things are relevant to that person's case. And then you start chipping away at it. And there's usually in order what you want to chip away at it. But that's another story.
