Hashimoto’s and Botox

About Hashimoto's and Botox and I think this is a very very very important topic and it's it's it it's something that has
00:00:15
become more understood in the world of Hashimoto's just recently okay I have a paper in front of me and it's it's a
00:00:26
picture of a Time magazine article okay not fairly recent and the article is about how Botox is becoming used for
00:00:37
depression heart trouble it says forget wrinkles Botox is now being used to treat migraines depression heart
00:00:44
conditions twitching eyes overactive bladder sweaty pumps and more for some of you who may not be familiar with
00:00:53
Botox it's a neurotoxin it's called Clostridium botulinum it's a neurotoxin it paralyzes nerves when you
00:01:02
inject it in that area the article goes on to say some call it a marvel of Medicine others caution that the risks
00:01:11
are still unknown so I'm about to share one of the unknown risks with you that is now it's known the the researchers
00:01:23
who are researching this are kind of tiptoeing into it because there's a lot of players in the Botox field if you
00:01:32
will there was over two hundred and fifty two point five million shots of Botox given
00:01:41
last year for these issues but also for cosmetic issues and what they're now showing is that Botox is a bacteria so
00:01:53
it's a bacteria that paralyzes the nerves so you can put a shot into an area where you have wrinkles it will
00:02:01
paralyze that area the whole muscle will relax and the wrinkles will go away you can put a shot into an area where a
00:02:09
nerve is over firing and and so you put that in there and the next thing you know you that nerve stops
00:02:17
over firing frequently in here from migraine headache okay so it's certainly tempting because it's quick it's easy
00:02:27
it's a shot and it works an awful lot of the time for what they're using it for however this bacterium is Clostridium
00:02:38
bacterium happens to mimic it's called molecular mimicry and it's involved in mote and in most thought of immunities
00:02:49
in in in Hashimoto's there's a classic molecular mimicry pattern where there's molecules and metabolites on a gluten
00:03:01
protein that look exactly like molecules on the thyroid tissue which look exactly like molecules on your cerebellum and
00:03:12
it's called the molecular mimicry and what that means in English is you get an attack on one of those things you get an
00:03:19
attack on that gluten protein and and the tissue here on your thyroid and the tissue on your cerebellum look exactly
00:03:28
like the tissue that's being attacked on that gluten if you have that then you eat the gluten and you get all the cyber
00:03:37
symptoms you get all the cerebellar symptoms these vertigo balance migraines blurred vision muscles that won't turn
00:03:43
on and off and you walk in your doctor you put that together with all your heart motor symptoms your doctor
00:03:48
standing there glassy-eyed going like what the hell is going on here right that's what they're finding out that
00:03:55
Botox does and it's not small one of the studies that I saw was that relative to people they did study on a I was several
00:04:05
hundred people who had Hashimoto's some of them had no symptoms they saw that if they took a shot that the antibodies
00:04:14
would skyrocket the the that the immune attack on the thyroid would actually skyrocket but with this molecular
00:04:24
mimicry what can occur is is you may have silent autoimmunity so you might have
00:04:31
Hashimoto's and not know it it's called silent autoimmunity you have the propensity to have an attack on your
00:04:38
thyroid and you're not getting any symptoms nobody's looking for it so nobody knows it's there and but then as
00:04:46
time goes on and and and you do all of the things that can have caused this immune attack to start attacking your
00:04:53
thyroid more you get you know high blood sugar low blood sugar got problems bad bacterial infections in your gut food
00:05:03
sensitivities toxicities nutrient deficiencies all of these things they can cause inflammation every one of
00:05:09
those can make you can make this start to do more it can make the immune system start to do more and so I mean not
00:05:19
enough not enough sleep no exercise poor relationships I mean all these things but if you're if you're a person that's
00:05:25
pretty healthy and you're and you're exercising and you're eating right and you're doing a lot of things this immune
00:05:32
attack may never get to the point where it really becomes serious enough for you to even know you got it but a shot of
00:05:38
Botox will but a shot of Botox not all the time according to studies but a shot of Botox a significant percentage at a
00:05:49
time will will set the immune system off because that person already has an autoimmune attack against or thyroid
00:05:56
that they don't know they have now they take the Botox and all of a sudden there you have this molecular mimicry where
00:06:02
the immune system starts attacking the Botox then it starts attacking the thyroid more and the next thing you know
00:06:07
you have now set off a Hashimoto's response and you're off to the doctor and your fly lab tests are normal and
00:06:14
you're irritable and you've got short temper and you're and you're putting on weight and your hair is falling out and
00:06:20
you have anxiety and heart palpitations and and now all that type of stuff and your TS your thyroid stimulating hormone
00:06:26
is normal and you're going like what happened why didn't do anything well how did it happen just came out of nowhere
00:06:31
what did you do I didn't do anything because you're not going to say oh I got a Botox shot II think that was it it's a
00:06:37
big deal this is gonna be interesting to see how this plays with it being used in so many
00:06:43
different areas but as this magazine points out investigations are going forward on what these unknown medical
00:06:52
risks are and this study was a part of that so we may find out that you know sometimes it's like when things are too
00:06:59
easy there's just not always the right thing to do so yeah if you're doing boy Botox for migraines I get it I get it
00:07:11
there are other ways but that's an easy way okay if it works for you but if you're doing it for cosmetic purposes I
00:07:19
don't know if the trade-off is really worth it but you have to decide on that so so as a big one Botox and Hashimoto's
00:07:27
it's for real and you're probably gonna hear about more about it on a future I just really just came across it a couple
00:07:34
of weeks ago and I was like like sitting there stunned with my mouth wide open so so that's it
00:07:43
Botox and Hashimoto's whoever thought those two would go together alright see you next time
