Hashimoto’s With No Thyroid?

00:00:00
Thyroid and hashimoto's in other words we're going to be talking thyroidectomy the doctor has taken my
00:00:08
thyroid out and i'm still getting symptoms i'm assuming
00:00:13
that's what the inference was in this topic that was requested and we did kind of did something like
00:00:18
this uh previously in which we talked about hashimoto's um and radiation therapy
00:00:25
and uh and and so but there's similarities again we talked about it um relative to
00:00:32
radiation therapy versus thyroidectomy but and thyroid acne basically what happens is
00:00:37
you've gotten hashimoto's the immune you're getting hypothyroid symptoms from your immune system attacking your
00:00:44
thyroid for so long you're getting tired fatigue hair falling out your guts don't slowing up
00:00:50
your stomach's giving you acid indigestion your constipation just skin is drying out a number of
00:00:58
things and uh and so then after the attack is taking place
00:01:05
for a while then you start getting hyper symptoms you start getting anxiety panic attacks maybe even
00:01:11
a big one is heart palpitations for no reason at all arrhythmias
00:01:18
insomnia night sweats inward tremors these are all hyper symptoms from the thyroid getting attacked
00:01:26
tissue being damaged vomiting out a bunch of stress arm or not stress hormones
00:01:30
vomiting out a bunch of thyroid hormone t4 and t3 and and enough skinning jittery so
00:01:37
so the the person who's wanting to know about thyroidectomy or my thyroids out probably went through
00:01:44
this probably got medication and the medication didn't work
00:01:48
maybe maybe it worked you know for a few weeks maybe didn't work at all maybe it made the person worse maybe
00:01:53
they kept switching one medication from synthetic to natural and and and the whole you know deal and and
00:02:02
nothing's work your tsh is perfectly normal now the the the gold standard uh tsht3t4 but you
00:02:10
still have all these symptoms and you don't have a thyroid and and they told you it's no big deal we're
00:02:15
gonna take your thyroid out you're gonna be hypothyroid and we're gonna manage it according to
00:02:20
to your uh to your uh to your hormone levels here's a problem they're managing
00:02:26
this they're managing the thyroid they're not managing this the immune system so
00:02:34
so the immune system's still there they take your thyroid out um you might have antibodies these are
00:02:40
antibodies that are causing the immune system to attack your thyroid and create inflammation in your thyroid
00:02:46
okay these antibodies maybe they're 500 maybe maybe maybe the reading on them when
00:02:52
they take your thyroid peroxidase enzyme test maybe it's like 500 normal zero to nine
00:02:59
and they take your thyroid out and it has less to attack maybe the antibodies clean up a little bit but they still
00:03:04
stay there they don't go away they maybe they go down to you know 200 maybe they go down to
00:03:11
50 but they're still there they still have orders to attack but there's no thyroid there
00:03:17
to attack correct and i you know and i've through the years i've read things and i've heard
00:03:22
things that they don't always get the thyroid out i can believe that
00:03:27
um i've never read that in in particularly in in medical literature medical literature
00:03:32
makes it sound very clean we take your thyroid out we give you the medication life is good
00:03:37
um so that could be one reason that you still have thyroid tissue in there and the attack is still hitting
00:03:43
but i think the biggest reason is that you have other cross talking tissues to the thyroid
00:03:53
what that means is it's called it's called molecular mimicry so there are enzymes in the thyroid
00:04:00
that look exactly like enzymes on your cerebellum that look exactly upside i said enzymes there are
00:04:09
metabolites there are metabolites on your thyroid that look exactly
00:04:14
like metabolites on your on your cerebellum which is the part of your brain that controls dizziness vertigo
00:04:22
balance stiff neck blurred vision a lot of that okay and there are metabolites on certain foods
00:04:29
that also look exactly like metabolic iron type weird right foods endocrine tissue nerve tissue
00:04:36
but they have these metabolites that look like so it's called a molecular mimicry and when one thing gets attacked
00:04:42
like the thyroid the other two can get attacked so the next thing you know you have a
00:04:45
food sensitivity you eat that it creates all kinds of symptoms of thyroid symptoms cerebellar symptoms
00:04:51
gut symptoms or you are or you get stressed or or you have some infection or something and
00:04:57
it flares up inflammation and it attacks your thyroid your cerebellum and and and and the maybe this food that
00:05:04
you're sensitive to and then it causes all the symptoms again well when you take the thyroid out
00:05:09
and those antibodies are still there these two guys are still going to get attacked
00:05:13
and it goes beyond that because that they don't even know all the things that i was just reading about antibodies just
00:05:18
this past weekend and they don't even know all the things that it is
00:05:23
that the antibodies are related to they think it's related to rheumatoid arthritis they
00:05:29
they know it's related to polycystic ovarian syndrome and things that are going on your ovaries they know it's
00:05:34
that it's uh can it's it's related to parietal cell antibodies which are antibodies in your stomach
00:05:40
that gives you autoimmune gastritis they know it's related to autoimmune hepatitis there's more that it's it's
00:05:46
it's related to syria they know it's related to celiac and there's more
00:05:51
but that's enough so the point is is that you take the thyroid out but you do something that flares up your
00:05:59
immune response and all of those things that are still there are still going to get
00:06:03
tagged because these antibodies that now have crosstalk with almost are still there
00:06:08
so the solution is not to take out your thyroid if at all possible the first solution is is to calm down your immune
00:06:14
system and um and and by you know a variety of different things
00:06:20
those of you been watching you know we've got a thousand hours online telling you how we do that
00:06:25
or how that should or that how that should be done so so that's the one thing and one probably
00:06:30
one other thing is is a lot of people want to know is thyroid surgery better than thyroid
00:06:37
radiation i'm not a big radiation fan i'm not a big fan of swallowing radioactive pills and putting them in my
00:06:44
body and having them kill my however there are studies that show that long-term effects of
00:06:52
um of of thyroid radiation is not as good as long-term effects of of um having your thyroid out so
00:07:04
if you're if if that was anywhere in the interest of the person who asked this question or gave us this topic
00:07:10
um i mean overall it's really that person's call you know thyroid surgeries come with can
00:07:17
come with side effects and uh as as can the other but the the thyroid surgery
00:07:23
has been shown to have a little bit more a little bit more uh better outcomes uh longitudinally
00:07:30
and if you can get if you do thyroid medication it works that's better than those two
00:07:34
and if you get rid of your immune responses it's better than all three of those so
00:07:40
so that is um hashimoto's thyroiditis and a thyroidectomy
