Why is Hashimoto’s So Common?

That we're having with the viruses and and the question is or the topic is is why is Hashimoto's becoming so common
00:00:13
and I mean I've I've had a lot of time to think about this over the last a couple of months because in my mind it
00:00:20
plays in with a lot of things that are happening right now with people being more compromised and being more
00:00:26
vulnerable to getting the corona virus and and and some people reacting much worse continually hearing how
00:00:36
compromised those patients are it's really autoimmunity that's becoming more common when I first got in the practice
00:00:45
I was treating people who got well pretty quick whether you are I was doing chiropractic
00:00:52
whether we was doing physiotherapy on them whether we were giving and blood sugar diets whether or giving them
00:00:57
supplements I don't know you know is this like you okay you're better that's good let's see see you later and and
00:01:05
back then autoimmunity was basically and that's it was rheumatoid arthritis lupus Lou Gehrig's disease which is still very
00:01:14
rare it was these things it was the things that you know and grasped but then then mostarda to become understood
00:01:23
that and I do think it started with the thyroid it started to become understood that the thyroid was actually the most
00:01:32
hypothyroid actually autoimmune thyroid and and and the research on that is like irrefutable at this point in time even
00:01:40
Mayo Clinic says 85 to 95 percent of all hypothyroid are Hashimoto's so so but within the framework of being in
00:01:50
practice during a time and seeing those patients and watching the explosion I remember the group of doctors that I was
00:01:58
with back then we were all kind of like communicate with each other I'm bored and go does everybody have does
00:02:04
everybody have autoimmune it was autumn unit at the time and we were running out of me markers before anybody else was
00:02:08
running them they were telling us that we were crazy and and everybody was coming up the AAAS
00:02:13
were coming up on the antibodies were coming up and then and then one of my mentors my you know
00:02:20
it said let's test everybody for Hashimoto's and I was resistant to it tested him I tested the next ten
00:02:27
patients and seven of them had it and I basically almost fell off of my chair like how could that be so I think
00:02:35
Hashimoto's kind of led the way to now even in the medical community they're embracing more and more that these
00:02:43
mystery diseases things that they can't put their finger on could be autoimmune and and and and more and more automated
00:02:52
testing is being done it's in its evolution but the point is is that is that we are developing autoimmunity as a
00:03:01
common factor in our in our patient population in our society and I think you know being my age and having gone
00:03:13
through the 50s and the 60s and the 70s all the way up until today had the opportunity to watch the change in
00:03:21
society what what challenges our immune systems our immune systems are amazing it's like how do you have a system that
00:03:31
detects things that come into the body that don't belong there and either kill it or detox it without killing you think
00:03:43
about that you know your immune system will attack a bacterial virus that type of thing but it but in theory it should
00:03:49
attack you except in autoimmunity now sudden it's attacking us and it would appear based on the evolution of what we
00:03:57
understand we need to do to dampen the immune response that it's societal it's it's it is indeed more stress it is
00:04:10
indeed people not sleeping properly people going to bed late the advent of television you know like when we were
00:04:16
kids television was from like 610 was from like 6 to 11 and then there was three channels and that was it too many
00:04:22
distractions of course there's the cellphones but even long before that there was
00:04:27
kind of the 80s is when things ramped up and people started going well you know I work 40 hours if I work 50 hours I can
00:04:33
get ahead faster and in televisions creating situations and nightlife creating situations where people were
00:04:43
more likely to to stay up late and our circadian rhythms are off our sleeper thumbs are off anybody knows anything
00:04:50
that's sleep there was that screws everything up society has changed relationships aren't what they used to
00:04:55
be used to fight through them the divorce rates were low now doors rates are like I believe it's like 50% don't
00:05:01
hold me that but that's kind of what I have in my head but it's high it's high multiple
00:05:06
relationships is difficult emotional trauma is is is rampant everybody comes in here is emotional trauma flares up
00:05:14
stress hormones damages tissue sleep sores all circadian rhythm throw in the the the now pretty well-known mitigated
00:05:25
foods the the the mechanically genetically modified foods that are now foods that our gut diseases may be an
00:05:34
antigen is a foreign body that's tearing up our guts start looking into like gluten and night shades and lectins and
00:05:42
some for some and some for others but we're we're getting responses these foods now the foods are what they used
00:05:47
to be and they're harder to digest and they're and the sugar sugar sugar sugar sugar we used to eat two pounds of sugar
00:05:53
to three pounds of sugar a year fifty years ago now we two pounds to three pounds of sugar a week used to be like a
00:06:01
confectionary that was really expensive and it was a treat that you got on a certain time sugars killing us sugars or
00:06:09
sugars are killing us when we're in word for beating up our intestines so we're getting food sensitivities and we're
00:06:15
getting and how we're getting these food sensitivities because our digestive processes are breaking down because of
00:06:21
stress and and and so we're getting and we don't even know we have food sensitivities but when the digestive
00:06:29
process breaks down and you're not in you're not digesting in your stomach and you're not and you and your
00:06:35
gallbladder is not working and your pancreas isn't working or they took your gallbladder or they put a sleeve on your
00:06:39
stomach these things interfere with the ability to digest you now have a food particle
00:06:45
that goes into your intestines and looks like a foreign body so your immune system attacks it now everybody your
00:06:52
grandmother has food sensitivities and or food allergies yes oh we have all of that we have crazy we have blood sugar
00:07:01
all over the place who isn't diabetic today people are overweight you know so you have insulin surges they go up they
00:07:07
go down these are things that our bodies did not have to deal with and once you start having that occur once you start
00:07:13
having that breakdown occur now viruses bacterias molds these types of things that didn't bother us before because you
00:07:22
know we're your kids you heard it you're out there you're playing around you're eating the dirt you know and you're from
00:07:26
mouth I'm somebody playing and and you're getting into the into the air and and that's and that's and that's was
00:07:34
creating a good immune response good good immunity what we're talking today that herd immunity to different
00:07:42
things all of that is is more it's more difficult for our immune system you
00:07:50
systems are like now they're just like you know they're like going down they're like going down and they can't they
00:07:57
can't handle killing these things we're not there your hydrochloric acid in your stomach is supposed to kill these things
00:08:02
before they ever get into your gut these bacteria in fact well half people come here don't have hydrochloric acid or
00:08:07
stomach because they're stressed hours mind and they got a thyroid problem and they got SIBO and all these other
00:08:12
different things that they would never got before at least very very really then they get these things before all
00:08:18
that breaks down our barrier systems all that breaks down our gut everybody's heard of leaky gut but those of you who
00:08:24
have bronchitis asthma stones break them down the barrier systems here athletic asthma people those types of things
00:08:31
people who have had concussions concussions I'm sure have always been around but with with
00:08:37
with it with with what I'm talking about the immune system in the brain is this is so much more difficult for the immune
00:08:45
system in the brain to be able to dampen the inflammation there and you know just that lifestyle changes diet those types
00:08:53
of things need to occur for us to dampen is why Hashimoto's Hashimoto's is probably more common than all of the
00:09:04
other autoimmune cases put together all the other main conditions put together if you have Hashimoto's you have you can
00:09:12
have try to sell any bison you're gonna have Ottoman gastritis you're gonna have autoimmune hepatitis you're gonna
00:09:17
polycystic ovarian syndrome you're gonna have celiac you can have Ottoman antibodies against against your
00:09:22
cerebellum you can have all sort of climene usually you don't just have Hashimoto's rheumatoid arthritis it's
00:09:28
very closely related to our shows so I think it's just because Hashimoto's is a thyroid and the thyroid is what controls
00:09:36
your metabolism and it so and and and and so you're so it's it has receptor sites in every single cell in your body
00:09:45
every single cell so no matter what happens in your physiology no matter which of the other systems go off
00:09:52
they're going to affect your thyroid if you get a little information it's going to affect your thyroid if you get bad
00:09:58
gut bacteria it's going to flare up your immune system and it's going to affect your thyroid so I've never really
00:10:04
thought that directly about about it until I was presented that that question but that's how you think about it when
00:10:14
when a patient comes in or that's how your doctor should be thinking about it when you come in and the Koch motor is a
00:10:20
very complex thing that's why it's so difficult to get the labs right because the labs can be all over the place
00:10:25
because so many things can affect your thyroid blood sugar affects your thyroid not even with even if you didn't have
00:10:30
Hashimoto's that's even possible stress affects your thyroid so there's so many vicious cycles but they all touch your
00:10:37
thyroid or they all touch your thyroid hormone in some way shape or form so I'm pretty sure that that's a competent
00:10:46
answer as to why Hashimoto's is exciting I'll tell you another thing if we're if you're if you're
00:10:51
female and you have a mother and you have a sister and you have a daughter there's a good chance two of them have
00:10:58
Hashimoto and you have Hashimoto's there's a good chance – of man Hashimoto's so it's creating genetic
00:11:02
modifications that are being passed on and so we're starting to see third generation Hashimoto's I've seen it now
00:11:10
– in the last year and a half three two years I've seen – and I'll treat a lot of kids that's putting it mildly
00:11:20
okay I treated even fewer three-year-olds but I but I've seen two three year olds in the last two years
00:11:27
that have Hashimoto's the test that positive frosh – oh that's pretty mind-blowing so I think it's the answer
00:11:32
I hope you've enjoyed this series I'm enjoyed doing it and we'll see what we get on to for next month alright so some
00:11:43
of your questions so many any questions you have or anything I got if we can answer them we will we have time the
00:11:49
answer and we will be don't sign the answer and we won't but something to me anyway so I'll see you again
