Hashimoto’s Disease

Did you know that Hashimoto’s Disease, or Hypothyroidism, affects approximately 11% of the population of the United States – that’s a whopping 34 million people! And the majority of these people are female.

Sadly, many practitioners don’t consider hypothyroidism to be an autoimmune disease, which is strange because 90% of hypothyroid cases are autoimmune!

Having thyroid antibodies present in blood work is conclusive evidence for Hashimoto’s Disease. These antibodies slowly, but continually, destroy the thyroid gland, ultimately causing thyroid failure. Patients with Hashimoto’s are typically offered thyroid hormone replacement therapy, or glandular and iodine support, but unfortunately these treatments often add fuel to the fire.

The Main Causes of Hashimoto’s Disease

All autoimmune conditions, including Hashimoto’s Disease, occur when there are three criteria present in the body. These conditions include;

  • Genetic Susceptibility
  • Leaky Gut
  • A Trigger.

The Triggers

We now know of several triggers that exacerbate hypothyroidism and autoimmune conditions, and these include;

  • Gluten aversion;
  • Vitamin D Polymorphism – meaning our body’s inability to make use of natural Vitamin D;
  • Heavy Metal Toxicity;
  • Excess of Iodine;
  • Surges in Estrogen;
  • Pregnancy: particular postpartum changes;
  • Insulin surges; and
  • Gastrointestinal infections.

It appears that the critical, and most common, trigger is gluten intolerance (not only celiac disease) which about 80% of Americans have a genetic predisposition to.

What We Do

At Chronic Conditions Chiropractic based in California, we specifically focus on removal of the root cause, thus allowing your body to heal itself. Patients who have this debilitating condition are very rewarding people to work with because huge changes can be achieved very simply.

Your detailed history will be taken during your initial visit, because autoimmunity is a very complex condition. It’s during this visit that we’ll gain many clear insights into your particular case, and we’ll then be able to determine a specific treatment plan for you. It’s our belief that determining then addressing immune dominance is vitally important in the effective treatment of Hashimoto’s Disease.

To state it quite simply: is there one side of your immune system leading the antibody reaction, and over time destroying the thyroid? It’s almost impossible to control an autoimmune condition without first addressing and managing the immune system.

Leaky Gut

Let’s discuss leaky gut and then we’ll go over what you need to do testing wise to get this looked at. Think of the individual cells that make up the lining of your intestines as locked together.  It’s like your thumbs locked with your palms out and your fingers up in the air. Your fingers […]

Adrenals often wrong target with chronic stress

When stress levels go too high, the first thing many in the alternative health do is support the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands are two walnut-sized glands that sit atop each kidney and secrete stress hormones. Popular supplements include adrenal glandulars (adrenal tissue from animals), minerals, B vitamins, and a variety of herbs — all […]

If you have autoimmunity you need to look at leaky gut

One of the primary things we look for when someone has autoimmunity is leaky gut, a condition in which the intestinal wall is damaged, as it is usually a key factor. Autoimmunity is an extremely common disorder today in which the immune system attacks and destroys part of the body. Common autoimmune disorders include Hashimoto’s […]
