Hashimoto's versus graves' disease. And although they are seem to be two cataclysmically different conditions, they're not, in fact they have a bit of overlap. So autoimmunity is involved in both of them. So both of them are auto immune problems. Both of them are as a result of the immune system attacking an aspect of that, their thyroid physiology, but in Hashimoto's it's one aspect of integrase. It's another aspect in Hashimoto's the thyroid peroxidase enzyme is attacked and, and far less frequently the anti thyroglobulin tissue is attack. And what that means is there's an enzyme in Hashimoto's that's attacked that actually makes the thyroid hormone it's called the it's called the thyroid peroxidase enzyme, and it takes off, it takes the iodine and the tyrasine. So in T so in thyroid hormones are the main one that's made in thyroid is called [inaudible].

So it takes the T, which is tire scene. And, and the enzyme puts that T together with the four, which has four iodines. And then that makes your T for, and when you have disruption of that, when you have an attack on that inside you will, you will tend to make a lot more thyroid hormone. And when you get an attack on and as you're doing that, it damages thyroid tissue. So you start making less thyroid tissues. So between you making less thyroid tissue and for the small group that have anti thyroglobulin hormones, these are I'm sorry, enzymes being attacked. Then the, then those enzymes are actually attacking the tissue of your thyroid, the actual tissue that makes your thyroid. And so between those two things, you can get, you can get hypo thyroid, and that's hired in a hair falling out in the, in the constipation and the, and the deem around the ankles and dry skin and all these different things from everything slowing down, and then intermittently in Hashimoto's, you're going to get an attack on that enzyme that makes more thyroid hormone, and, and you're going to, and you're going to get jittery if you've got both of them at the same time.

Sometimes when you get the anti thyroglobulin antibody attack, meaning the one that's attacking the actual tissue. Sometimes when you get the destruction of that tissue, that destruction alone, vomits thyroid hormone out into the bloodstream for a little bit of time, and that causes the, the heart palpitations and the anxiety and the panic of that. So, so the uniqueness of Hashimoto's is you get mostly hypo thyroid symptoms, the fatigue, the hair, falling out, the eyebrows, going away, the skin going away, the overweight, the constipation, all that, and then intermittently, you're going to get hyperthyroid. You're usually going to be overweight. If you have Hashimoto's thyroiditis, there is a small percentage of hypo of Hashimoto's patients that actually are thin and have more of the symptoms of what we're about to talk about with graves. They're they're, they have more hyperactive symptoms and, and, and so they share that characteristic with grace as these other two distinctly different diseases.
