Naperville Thyroid Doctors Shares Thyroid Treatment Success Secret #1:

Auto Immune Thyroid or Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis is the #1 Cause of Hypothyroid in the U.S.!

The #1 cause of low thyroid or hypothyroid in the United States is something called Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or autoimmune thyroid. It’s an autoimmune condition and it means that your immune system is attacking your thyroid.

An autoimmune condition is where your immune system is attacking a part of your body, and in your case, it is most likely, attacking your thyroid gland.

Remember, your thyroid controls your body’s metabolism.

ALL OF IT!

Why do I still have thyroid symptoms? | Dr. Hagmeyer Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (aka. Autoimmune thyroid) is the #1 cause of low thyroid in the U.S. Your immune system is attacking your thyroid, and it is killing it. You just don’t have a “thyroid” problem, you have an “immune” problem! Unfortunately, thyroid hormones do nothing for this autoimmune attack. You will continue to lose more and more of your thyroid taking the medications. It is a slow, progressive, downward slide.

So the problem isn’t just your thyroid: it is your immune system. You have an immune system problem, and you need to heal your immune system. Thyroid hormones are NOT going to help you heal your immune system.

Lets talk about the immune system;

There’s two parts to your immune system, TH1 and TH2 and they should be in balance, kind of like a teeter-totter effect. One should not be higher than the other.

If your immune system goes out of balance because of stress (physical, chemical or emotional), one system (TH1 or TH2) will become dominant and this will cause your immune system to attack your body. There are specific blood tests that need to be run to determine if you are autoimmune and if one part of your immune system is dominant.

Now, the problem with autoimmune conditions is it just doesn’t attack one area of your body…your thyroid. It can and eventually will attack other areas of your body.

It can attack your pancreas, causing diabetes or it can attack your gut, your stomach lining, causing IBS or it can attack your joints, rheumatoid arthritis, it can attack your RBC causing pernicious Anemia.It can attack your entire body. You need to be tested to see if you are having an autoimmune condition, and if that’s what’s causing your thyroid condition.
