Will Hashimoto’s Cause a Positive ANA?

Those cause a positive AAA this is like I think one of most important topics of this this whole autoimmune as well as
00:00:13
Hashimoto's topic it's it's this this one is like this one drives me crazy so na na is a widely accepted test most
00:00:26
people who do autoimmune testing today medical doctors rheumatologists will run in a na when
00:00:36
they suspect you have a lot immunity and then a na means anti a anti-nuclear antibody so these are anti bite so what
00:00:49
antibodies are when when there's a bad guy in your system antibodies don't destroy them antibodies tag them for
00:00:56
destruction so an antibody doesn't destroy anybody don't destroyed they just tag so that the immune system knows
00:01:04
to come out and do the destruction so it's it's considered a pretty general autoimmune marker Hashimoto's is an
00:01:15
autoimmune disease so indeed if you have Hashimoto's well let me step back let me step back so anti-nuclear anti body what
00:01:28
does that mean it means that it that you are getting antibodies against the nucleus of a cell all of our cells have
00:01:40
nuclei right nucleus which so we don't know it could be against any cell in your body any cell which includes your
00:01:52
gonna have an anti-nuclear antibodies in rheumatoid arthritis your grants lupus those are the most common one certainly
00:01:58
you can have it with Hashimoto's and any one of enough there they now are up like 140 potential autoimmune responses in
00:02:07
the body that they know so but here's the killer about the a a and this may be what generate
00:02:12
question I don't know almost everybody comes into me guys they don't know whether I have a lot of nudity or not
00:02:19
and I already know what that means before they even get the words out right it means they ran an AAA and one day
00:02:28
they ran it and it was positive and they said oh it looks like you might have wanted me but it doesn't mean anything
00:02:33
because the next day we're gonna we might ride and it might mean nothing because it might not come up positive so
00:02:42
not being a an autoimmune ologist but seeing a zillion of these things it's pretty well understood that some days
00:02:52
anybody's are more available you have more of them flying around another day some days the AAA will be up some days
00:03:00
the AAA will be down confusing your doctor but it shouldn't be confusing at any given time if you have an immune
00:03:09
attack against your thyroid or against any tissue no antibodies are going to be up and and it's going to come up
00:03:20
positive you have autoimmunity autoimmunity doesn't go away and you know so I've had doctors criticized me
00:03:28
for this and I mean directly to their patients and I said well why don't you just go back to your doctor and ask him
00:03:36
why did you run the damn tests in the first place if the tests came up positive why are you telling me I don't
00:03:42
have anything you the mind-blower is this test actually means you can have antibodies against any cell in your body
00:03:52
so it's actually a very good test if you just learn how to use it so absolutely and I just wanted to like go over all
00:03:58
that because those I'm going over with you the things that I see as a longtime functional medicine practitioner
00:04:04
probably first one in the group of doctors I was in the poll for Hashimoto as years and I've got a she bought us I
00:04:11
remember like these are all things are trying to bring to you to bring more clarity to your situation so yeah
00:04:16
absolutely Hashimoto's can cause a positive na and if you have a positive a na you start
00:04:26
and you start you should and you don't know you have Hashimoto's you should start running anybody's for Asha Moto's
00:04:30
for lupus for sho brands for rheumatoid arthritis for a bunch of stuff that's the a na Hashimoto's connection
