  • Hashimoto's is an IMMUNE system problem, not a THYROID problem. With hashimoto's the TSH is constantly up and down and patients frequently have to have their meds adjusted. . 1) Removing the dietary triggers that burden the immune system the most: like dairy, wheat, corn, soy, (sometimes others) would normalize the immune response. . 2) Supplementing with 200 mcg of Selenium (or eating Brazil nuts) & maintaining vitamin D levels between 70-100 can lower TPO antibodies and improve thyroid & immune function. . 3) Probiotics and probiotic foods are sooo important. A large part of thyroid hormone conversion takes place in the liver and gut. . 4) Long term Epstein Barr treatment: around 80% or more of people with Hashi’s have the Epstein Barr Virus. You must be taking botanicals to strengthen immune system, eating the right kinds of foods (fruits and veggies), visualizing in your minds eye that you are healing, and remove the foods that’s feed viruses like eggs, wheat & dairy. . 5) I do not agree that levothyroxine is the way to go. Djurovic et al., 2018 found that approximately 5.5 years of levothyroxine use significantly impaired cognitive function and overall well-being. Those on levothyroxine had more depression, anxiety, attention issues, worse global and working memory and executive function. . Reference: Djurovic, M., Pereira, A. M., Smit, J. W., Vasovic, O., Damjanovic, S., Jemuovic, Z., . . . Petakov, M. (2018). Cognitive functioning and quality of life in patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis on long-term levothyroxine replacement.
