My thyroid was completely destroyed by Hashimoto but I went to church and they layed hands on me and prayed. I also began to drink aswaganda, turmeric, garlic, selenium, magnesium and vit d. And believe ut or not, my thyroid began to grow 😊❤
After developing a large left thyroid goiter which was very painful, the endocrinologist said I had thyroiditis with antibodies >600. T3, and T4 were normal. I was given a short term treatment of prednisone for the pain. The relief was temporary. After finding your video suggesting 8 weeks of blackseed oil 2 G per day, the results have been amazing. The pain started to diminish right away and after 8 weeks the goiter was 2/3 the original size. Even after stopping the blackseed oil capsules, the goiter continued to shrink and at 10 weeks has almost completely disappeared! Thank you so much for your advice.
THANK YOU! You're AMAZING! In 35 yrs hypothyroid, I've never had a doctor who actually UNDERSTOOD thyroid (or the human body!) I'm not Hashimotos- but I want to chip in 2 personal observations that everyone I share with has also benefited from- switching from Levothyroxine to Armour was a LIFE changer for me... and eating 4 BRAZIL NUTS/day - after 3 months, my 20 year dose of armour dropped from 90mcg to 65mcg. Coincidence?? You decide.
I can't thank you enough. Many times I find content in my language that I don't find in English on RUclips, surprisingly. This time it's the other way round. TPO, Hashimoto thyroiditis are unheard of in Brazil and I've only heard one integrative medicine professional mention those in her videos and what not to take or eat when you have Hashimoto and the levels. She also did mention iodine causing it. Mine is at 28, nearing the borderline.
Thank you for this informative video, Dr. Childs. I posted this same comment on one of Dr. Christianson's video and thought it would be useful to post here too. Thyroid dysregulation is such a complex disease and the traditional approach to treatment does not always yield the best results, so I appreciate the lifestyle/nutraceutical suggestions.
However, I do wish more doctors would research and address thyrotropin receptor antibodies (TRab), which are most closely associated with disease progression in Graves Disease. This antibody has three subtypes: TSab (stimulating/HyPER) TBab (blocking/HyPO) and TRab (neutral). So, it is actually possible to have Graves disease and present with HyPOthyroid symptoms that are often attributed to the presence of TPO antibodies or having both Hashimoto’s and Graves. Hashimoto’s is NOT always the culprit for for HyPOthyroid symptoms according to an artical in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, Volume 92, Issue 3, 1 March 2007, Pages 1058-1065: “TSH RECEPTOR (TSH-R) autoantibodies (TRAbs) in patients with Graves’ disease (GD) are functionally heterogeneous; they include mainly thyroid-stimulating antibodies (TSAbs) and occasionally also thyroid-blocking antibodies (TBAbs). TSAbs activate the receptor and cause hyperthyroidism, whereas receptor occupancy by nonstimulatory TBAbs inhibits TSH action and may cause hypothyroidism. Together TSAbs and TBAbs comprise the TSH binding inhibition (TBII) activity detected by TRAb assays.” Before I was diagnosed with Graves, I had a long history of random symptoms that my doctor couldn't find a cause for. Mind you, this was following an exposure to black mold for a number of years, which I believe was the initial trigger. It wasn't until my TSH completely tanked four years ago after I had covid and I was presenting with HyPER symptoms that my doctor tested me for TSI, TGab and TPO antibodies, which all came back positive. Oddly enough, she didn't test for TRab and I didn't know to request it because the docs are the experts, right?! Upon being diagnosed with Graves, my integrative doc and I decided to take a lifestyle/supplementation approach which got my number back in range; however TSI & TPO were still present although lower. My TGab (Hashi) was tested on three separate occasions and was in range on the first two and undetectable on the third. I also had a thyroid ultrasound that didn't show any enlargement or tissue damage, but there was increased vascularity--which is consistent with Graves. With Hashimoto's there is usually visible scarring due to tissue damage, which I don't have. But why was I now having HyPO symptoms instead of HyPER symptoms?? I have never been medicated, so this didn’t make any sense. I recently had an upper respiratory illness and stressful events that led me to get my numbers checked. In some rare cases such as mine, symptoms can switch back and forth from HyPER to HyPO and vice versa. According to my endo, this can be due to the presence of TPOab if they are higher than TSIab. But now I know that TRab can also block thryrotropin receptors, and symptoms can present as HyPER or HyPO depending on whether TSab (stimulating) is in the driver's seat or TBab (blocking) is at the wheel. My most recent T4/T3 were back in range and my TSH was slowly ticking up toward normal range. My TPO and TSI were also decreasing. My endo agreed with my PCP on continuing the natural approach and did not prescribe any meds. The problem is I still feel like crap! Most docs don't test for TRab because the “Gold Standard” is TSI as a definitive diagnostic due to the assumption that Graves disease can only present as HyPERthyroid. I finally got an endo to test for TRab after switching to HyPO last summer. I would be very interested to find out if there are any lifestyle strategies and nutraceutical support that can help lower TRabs.
👍 I like the taste of powdered black seeds (Kalonji), and I take it with a tsp of blackstrap molasses (for the iron). Other than that I do not take any sugar at all. Thank you, Dr. Childs.
I take Vitamin D 2000IE/d since 5 years and I have reduced my carbohydrates < 100-80 g /day since 3 years (meaning also eliminating wheat, bread and pasta). But first after I reduced dairy products in my nutrition and added Omega 3 fishoil in my diet my Antybodies are now normalized and my Cholesterol levels are very better.
Thank you DR Childs! I started taking black seed oil in 2020 during COVID-19 for my immune system! I'm so thankful for you and your videos, I'm following your suggestions, my thyroid labs are normal range but can't lose weight and I'm very diligent about my diet and exercise, but I'm not giving up!
Get all gluten out of your diet. Go on a celiac sight to learn were they hide. All grains have there own version of gluten. My celiac friend has the most problems from rice gluten. The base of so called gluten free food. Get seed oils out of your diets. If it needs heat and chemicals to make it is not food. Limit vegetables like broccoli and cabbage. Mostly cooked. During the 80s one of the big lies was you could eat cheap and healthy on a vegan diet. Big mistake. That is even my morning body temperature went from normal to 94. Massive other health problems, obesity and malnutrition are just a few of the side effects. Then I switched to eating by the semi vegan food pyramid, a government pushed fad diet from that time. I spent decades starving myself fat and sick on 1200 low fat, high fibre calories a day. Had an active job. Went to the gym daily. Barely fit a size Canadian 18. It was 19 years ago that I was finally diagnosed as gluten intolerant. Based on symptoms that went away like chronic constipation and arthritis in my knees, I have been gluten intolerant since age 5. Also the white pimples on my arms disappeared. While going gluten free did not make me lose weight, it stopped me from gaining. It was when my husband had 3 strokes about 15 years ago that I finally got on the right track. We found out he was diabetic. He weighed 180 pounds. I put him on the Adventist influence diet they gave me at the hospital. In other words food pyramid BS. Every 3 weeks he had bloodwork. Always worse, as was he. This went on for 8 months. By then he was 210 pounds. I read Good Calories, Bad Calories. Watched The Oiling of America. Changed both of our diets to the old 1950s British diet in the prologue of Good Calories. My husband's next bloodwork improved and kept getting better. Several months later a stranger understood him. His weight returned to 180. I dropped to a size 6/8. No starvation involved. The degenerative bone disease in my right foot healed in months. My blood pressure went from 140 to 110. My triglycerides went from too high to surprisingly low for someone my age. It took 10 years but my morning body temperature went from 94 to 98.6. My eyebrows grew back in and my hair started to thicken. Been on a human based health diet for 14 years now. Would never return to low fat hell. A bit of history. The nutritionalist who did the research for the food pyramid refused to have her name on it after the senator in charge let his Adventist cult food industry buddies change it to the monstrosity that came out. She warned them if they put it out and people followed it that there would be a massive increase in obesity, diabetics, heart attacks, strokes, depression, dementia, autoimmune disease, cancer, etc, She was right. But instead of admitting their mistake they did the vegan gaslighting thing of blaming the victims of their bad advice and pointing out the few that could stay slim, if not healthy on their death diet. Add Poly Ovarian Syndrom, PMS, autism, ADHD, low testosterone, messed up thyroid and likely much more to the list of damages caused by the recommended diet. Eighty percent of obese and fat people have metabolic syndrome. Not a big surprise. Sixty percent of normal and thin people also have metabolic syndrome. That is a big red flag.
Hi. Dr. Child's. You're amazing. Where's your practice. Is it possible to see you. I live in Chicago. Do you know someone smart as you are to recommend. Wish I could see you. Thank you
Do you have a video specifically for hyperthyroidism and graves disease? Talking about supplements and iodine, motherwort and Bugleweed? Also, I heard that you're not supposed to take Ashwaghanda if you have hyperthyroid.
I have been taking a low dose calcium, D3, K2, Mg supplement due to my lactose intolerance Now I'll try to incorporate black seed in the diet too. Will report back in an year or so!
Hello Dr. Childs & Team, I am 60 years old, and have been taking LevoThyroxine for about 20 years now, for hypothyroidism. I believe my thyroid gland is no longer active due to Hashimoto’s. I would like to do more for myself, because the UK NHS focuses exclusively on T4 and TSH, and I do not believe this is sufficient. I have some questions for you. I would like to try T2, but your offering is 100 mcg, and I believe this is much more than produced by the human thyroid gland on a daily basis. I couldn’t cut a capsule in half, but I could take a capsule every second day, if the half-life of T2 was longer than a day. What is the half-life of T2, and could you say anything else here ? I understand the Thyroid Gland also produces T1 hormone and Calcitonin. Is there any way I can replicate the T1 and Calcitonin produced by a healthy Thyroid Gland ? Could you please advise me on these too ? Thank you very much, Gerard.
If my body has already destroyed my thyroid (no Thyroidectomy performed), can I still do what you recommend in your awesome videos? Would it help in any way?😥
I never had any issues with Thyroid until I got SIBO/IMO gastritis Pylori and ulcers. Then leaky gut. Then sensitivity to chemicals, foods, sounds, you name it. Went to endo....sky-high TPO and TG.
The gut/stomach and liver need to be functioning well as they work together with the thyroid and keep the thyroid at its optimum. That's why our diet and supplements are so important especially for woman. Gluten/grains sugar and high carbs are anti gut/stomach, liver and thyroid.
I may have Grave's disease unfortunately and it's really important to stop it since my eye also started bulging out. I'm taking selenium already but I don't know what to take exactly in fear to do some mistakes, and this video is helpfull.
Are these supplements ok to take if you take synthyroid, Crestor( very high cholesterol) , and Meteopolol ( beta blocker)? Please answer so I will know to buy these or not. Thank you …
Thank you Dr. Childs for sharing your knowledge! My blood test shows my Vitamin D level is 100%. I haven't catch not even a simple cold in the last five years, so I believe that taking Vit.D3 with K2 has made my immune system stronger. Before being tested for Covid 19, my four year old grandson coughed right on my face. Even though my grandson tested positive, and I didn't get the jab, I never caught the virus 😉.
Hi Dr Child’s I have Hashimoto’s, k have been taking Chlorella for a fair few months now and spirulina . They were helping me with weight and my nails but I’m finding them no longer working . I have a split down one of my nails permanently, and I’m getting a pot belly ! I’m 54 I stopped taking berberine back in December. Thank you
Dr. Childs I have a challenge for you. My endocrinologist has given up trying to figure out my labs. I allegedly have Graves Disease. My TSH was 0.000 with it getting up to 0.001 on 3 months of Neomercazole recently. In May of last year everything was within range. So how does this happen so suddenly. Also I showed very minor symptoms of being that hyper. And I have GAINED weight during the time before I was tested which would have been when my thyroid was storming. I should have been not sleeping. Anxious. Shaky and dropping weight....my T4 was normal as well. After being tested 3 times for TRABS they could fine none present. My reuptake scan confirmed a very overactive thyroid. So I have the diagnosis of TRAB negative Graves.......is this not actually bullshit. I would really appreciate it if you could cover the plausibility of TRAB negative Graves and how a person could gain weight pre treatment during a storming thyroid.
All my numbers are within normal limits but I feel terrible and I have nodules. Two biopsies and follicular neoplasm.. they want to remove my thyroid but won't give me anything before. I feel awful. I don't know what to do, what to take.
I had a small goider for a long time never new. I wasndiagnosed with hashimotos now hypothyroid. Have taken lowest dose of levo synthroid and now on np thyroid. I have so much anxiety and especially after i take my med. Idk what to do now my endo want to do surgery to rwmove part or all of my thyroid.
I had thyroid cancer and it was removed over 20 years. Now, I have a very elevated thyroglobulin antibody and the doctor doesn’t know what is causing it to be high. I have severe fatigue and can’t do simple activities without having to sit and rest after 3-5 mins. I wish I knew what test could be done to figure out what is wrong because i know something is wrong, despite what the doctor says.
Do the strict carnivore diet for 2 months, it will starve out all the SIBO bacteria and get you back on track. Take vitamin C and L-glutamine as well as support and gut lining repair.
Why do Dr’s only speak about TPO antibodies? My TPO is low (20) but my Tg is high (99>). My TSH varies (depending on my diet) somethings healthy range, sometimes not. My Free Thyroxine is always low end of normal. Not on meds. My GP was concerned for me, but the consultant said Tg is irrelevant, they only look at this antibody in post cancer patients. Please can you help us understand this? I’m sure I’m not the only one with this confusion.
I had thyroid cancer surgery had have it taken out.i never felt the same .i stay tired sweating short breath if walk far.my thyroid levels never been normal. Im getting me a new endoncologist
Sugar is the main cause. All sugar included fruit sugar. They use to tell people to limit fruit to 2 servings a day. So if you have problems get rid of fruit, all sugar, grains that turn to sugar in you mouth. And of course alcohol. There are things you can buy that help the liver.
Dr Child’s, I just purchased your EssentialT2 and your T3 conversion Booster…..hoping this will bring my Low thyroid levels up to a normal and healthy range. Everyday since you have more and more videos that are totally confusing!!!! Just show the success that people are having with your products….I’m not a Dr, not a scientist and your videos are confusing!🥴
I have no thyroid because I had Graves’ disease. They killed off my thyroid with radiative iodine!! I have been out of my level thyroxine now for almost 2 months and my works insurance changed and honestly that’s been a nightmare. Nobody wants to do their job.. is there anything I can do since I don’t have level thyroxine or thyroid?
Levothyroxine is a fairly inexpensive medication. $60 a month. Dr. Child’s has supplements specific to the thyroid but more expensive than the actual medication. Check with your pharmacy about finding you a substantial discount. Good luck! 💜
Also GoodRX which is free and you get a coupon that you can use at any pharmacy. I use it for two RXs that cost a lot through my insurance. Both are under $30 for a three month supply.
Find an INTEGRATED or also known as a FUNCTIONAL MD. They are MD's that also value nutrition and supplements over drugs and prescription drugs. I am now looking for one too. When I had Grave's disease I went through Endos like cheap shoes. Then I had an Endo that was HONEST with me. She told me she will give me all the PTU, I needed for Grave's disease and eventually my thyroid would level off and I'd probably get Hashimoto's and twenty years later I now have Hashimoto's and now on Armour thyroid. I refused Synthroid. My mother went through hell on that and Armour worked for her. Now I am looking to stop my antibodies from attacking my thyroid and my myelin sheath (MS). I have controlled the MS through diet and still not in a wheel chair as I was promised by an allopathic MD.. There was no way in hell I was going to inject myself everyday with Rebif , that was popular at the time, to mask symptoms and not stop the disease and I am glad I rejected it. The side effects are not something I wanted either. Who needs more problems? I have one location of cancer in remission and then breast cancer popped up this January. I had a lumpectomy, then 20 rounds of targeted proton radiation where I had very little side effects - just a sunburn and took the summer off thinking about their next recommended step - taxol chemo. Taxol destroys your immune system too. I read that there is a treatment for MS patients in a wheel chair that will HALT, or for some roll back the disease. It's available in some countries in Europe, Russia, the UK and Mexico with an 80% success rate. While I don't need that, it intrigued me. They use stem cells, chemo (forget which kind), four sessions of that and then stem cells. This is all done in a week. Of course the FDA still will not allow it and insurance will not cover it so doctors in the U.S. will not do it. What this MS TREATMENT does is reset your immune system by destroying it. I decided to go for it. I went seven rounds (6 1/2 hours each session) out of twelve rounds they recommended. I stopped when neuropathy started to set in (two fingers in each hand and only my left foot). I iced up for 2 1/2 hours out of the 6 1/2 hours for treatment and used a Paxman cold cap (saves hair by freezing the hair follicle) and ice in my mouth to prevent chemo mouth sores. Ladies still ICE UP. It normally stops neuropathy and that is often permanent. I had no other issues but the neuropathy. Also raw ginger and fresh lemon (3:1) with a sweetner of your choice prevents any nausea, before, during or after but the fatigue was awful and so was the chemo brain fog. I always felt drunk after I left each session due to the anti nausea garbage they infused. Your body violently rejected the taxol and why they pre load you with anti nausea drugs but ginger saved the day for me once I got out of there and while there. I continue to make it and drink it. I am hoping a reset of my immune system happened but the idiot Endo I go to now won't test for T3 which is the ACTIVE HORMONE that circulates in your body and won't test for the antibodies. T4 doesn't matter. T4 is just a converter. I will try what is recommended here because the end result for me will be no thyroid and allopathic doctors love that because it is more repeat visits and prescriptions. They never get the dosage right either. MDs DO get a kick back from pharms. It's sad but the medical profession only wants to treat SYMPTOMS and isn't interested in CURES and with getting less reimbursement, it is all about patient volume and money. So my best advice to you is find an INTEGRATED or FUNCTIONAL DOCTOR that is also an MD that values nutrition and vitamin and mineral levels that your body uses. These doctors take the same course and have the same degree as an allopathic doctor but their focus is on eliminating the problem rather than just giving you more drugs and sometimes side effects. I am hopeful that my immune system did a RESET and stops attacking me. Best wishes for you.

@Tangdaibing8355 did you take it after meal or in empty stomach?
@@Blkrain77 Fasting Helps soooo Much to lower antibodies. Getting down to your ideal body weight & eating Gluten Free.
Don’t forget to take Vitamin K2 with D…
You also need to be aiming for about 2,000mg of DHA daily to lower inflammation
Great info Dr C ;
I started taking 5000 Vit D3 w K2 a few years ago. My antibodies went from 556 to 222.
That’s amazing! Happy for you. 5,000 daily? Was your thyroid level off? Any improvement with that, if so?
My TPO was 1300. I have been taking all of the supplements, hesaid,went on a gluten-free,soy free diet and started yoga.My TPO went to 1260😢

Get all gluten out of your diet. Go on a celiac sight to learn were they hide. All grains have there own version of gluten. My celiac friend has the most problems from rice gluten. The base of so called gluten free food.
Get seed oils out of your diets. If it needs heat and chemicals to make it is not food.
Limit vegetables like broccoli and cabbage. Mostly cooked.
During the 80s one of the big lies was you could eat cheap and healthy on a vegan diet. Big mistake. That is even my morning body temperature went from normal to 94. Massive other health problems, obesity and malnutrition are just a few of the side effects.
Then I switched to eating by the semi vegan food pyramid, a government pushed fad diet from that time. I spent decades starving myself fat and sick on 1200 low fat, high fibre calories a day. Had an active job. Went to the gym daily. Barely fit a size Canadian 18.
It was 19 years ago that I was finally diagnosed as gluten intolerant. Based on symptoms that went away like chronic constipation and arthritis in my knees, I have been gluten intolerant since age 5. Also the white pimples on my arms disappeared.
While going gluten free did not make me lose weight, it stopped me from gaining.
It was when my husband had 3 strokes about 15 years ago that I finally got on the right track. We found out he was diabetic. He weighed 180 pounds. I put him on the Adventist influence diet they gave me at the hospital. In other words food pyramid BS.

My husband's next bloodwork improved and kept getting better. Several months later a stranger understood him. His weight returned to 180.
I dropped to a size 6/8. No starvation involved.
The degenerative bone disease in my right foot healed in months. My blood pressure went from 140 to 110. My triglycerides went from too high to surprisingly low for someone my age.
It took 10 years but my morning body temperature went from 94 to 98.6. My eyebrows grew back in and my hair started to thicken.
Been on a human based health diet for 14 years now. Would never return to low fat hell.
A bit of history. The nutritionalist who did the research for the food pyramid refused to have her name on it after the senator in charge let his Adventist cult food industry buddies change it to the monstrosity that came out. She warned them if they put it out and people followed it that there would be a massive increase in obesity, diabetics, heart attacks, strokes, depression, dementia, autoimmune disease, cancer, etc, She was right.
But instead of admitting their mistake they did the vegan gaslighting thing of blaming the victims of their bad advice and pointing out the few that could stay slim, if not healthy on their death diet.
Add Poly Ovarian Syndrom, PMS, autism, ADHD, low testosterone, messed up thyroid and likely much more to the list of damages caused by the recommended diet.
Eighty percent of obese and fat people have metabolic syndrome. Not a big surprise. Sixty percent of normal and thin people also have metabolic syndrome. That is a big red flag.

I have been taking a low dose calcium, D3, K2, Mg supplement due to my lactose intolerance
Now I'll try to incorporate black seed in the diet too. Will report back in an year or so!
How many teaspoons of black seed oil
I am post thyroidectomy due to cancer (also had hashimotos) I still have antibodies. Hopeful some of this info can help :)
I doubt if all these are for people without thyroid.He needs to differentiate instead of generalizing.
@@myraharryson3499 I'm pretty sure he knows more than you do.
I have no thyroids had cancer had take it out and never been same .I'm getting me a new endoncologist this been going on over a year
For how long would it be safe to have these supplements?
Hello Dr. Childs & Team,
I am 60 years old, and have been taking LevoThyroxine for about 20 years now, for hypothyroidism. I believe my thyroid gland is no longer active due to Hashimoto’s. I would like to do more for myself, because the UK NHS focuses exclusively on T4 and TSH, and I do not believe this is sufficient. I have some questions for you.
I would like to try T2, but your offering is 100 mcg, and I believe this is much more than produced by the human thyroid gland on a daily basis. I couldn’t cut a capsule in half, but I could take a capsule every second day, if the half-life of T2 was longer than a day. What is the half-life of T2, and could you say anything else here ?
I understand the Thyroid Gland also produces T1 hormone and Calcitonin. Is there any way I can replicate the T1 and Calcitonin produced by a healthy Thyroid Gland ? Could you please advise me on these too ?
Thank you very much,
Gerard.
If my body has already destroyed my thyroid (no Thyroidectomy performed), can I still do what you recommend in your awesome videos? Would it help in any way?😥
Thanx dr ur gorgeous ❤❤
Leaky gut is the primary root cause of excessive thyroid antibodies
Any studies on this?
I never had any issues with Thyroid until I got SIBO/IMO gastritis Pylori and ulcers. Then leaky gut. Then sensitivity to chemicals, foods, sounds, you name it. Went to endo....sky-high TPO and TG.
Yep agree
The gut/stomach and liver need to be functioning well as they work together with the thyroid and keep the thyroid at its optimum. That's why our diet and supplements are so important especially for woman. Gluten/grains sugar and high carbs are anti gut/stomach, liver and thyroid.
@amodb5. Dr. Childs has a video on the eight causes of Autoimmune Thyroiditis. The gut was just one.
I may have Grave's disease unfortunately and it's really important to stop it since my eye also started bulging out. I'm taking selenium already but I don't know what to take exactly in fear to do some mistakes, and this video is helpfull.
Are these supplements ok to take if you take synthyroid, Crestor( very high cholesterol) , and Meteopolol ( beta blocker)? Please answer so I will know to buy these or not. Thank you …
Thank you Dr. Childs for sharing your knowledge! My blood test shows my Vitamin D level is 100%. I haven't catch not even a simple cold in the last five years, so I believe that taking Vit.D3 with K2 has made my immune system stronger. Before being tested for Covid 19, my four year old grandson coughed right on my face. Even though my grandson tested positive, and I didn't get the jab, I never caught the virus 😉.
Vitamin D is incredible. I’ve been taking D3 well over six years and it just works!!!
I’ve been taking vit D and K2 since the start of covid and I haven’t caught covid yet
How many IU’s do you take?
@@danielagentile8049 I take 50mg Vit D . (I think that’s 2000 IU) and 180mg vit K2 daily
Hi Dr Child’s
I have Hashimoto’s, k have been taking Chlorella for a fair few months now and spirulina . They were helping me with weight and my nails but I’m finding them no longer working . I have a split down one of my nails permanently, and I’m getting a pot belly ! I’m 54 I stopped taking berberine back in December. Thank you
I have heart thumping and frequent palpitations symptoms. Diagnosed as graves disease Is it safe to consume black seed oil?
Dr. Childs I have a challenge for you. My endocrinologist has given up trying to figure out my labs. I allegedly have Graves Disease. My TSH was 0.000 with it getting up to 0.001 on 3 months of Neomercazole recently. In May of last year everything was within range. So how does this happen so suddenly. Also I showed very minor symptoms of being that hyper. And I have GAINED weight during the time before I was tested which would have been when my thyroid was storming. I should have been not sleeping. Anxious. Shaky and dropping weight....my T4 was normal as well. After being tested 3 times for TRABS they could fine none present. My reuptake scan confirmed a very overactive thyroid. So I have the diagnosis of TRAB negative Graves.......is this not actually bullshit.
I would really appreciate it if you could cover the plausibility of TRAB negative Graves and how a person could gain weight pre treatment during a storming thyroid.
My daughter has low tsh and normal t3t4
All my numbers are within normal limits but I feel terrible and I have nodules. Two biopsies and follicular neoplasm.. they want to remove my thyroid but won't give me anything before. I feel awful. I don't know what to do, what to take.
I had a small goider for a long time never new. I wasndiagnosed with hashimotos now hypothyroid. Have taken lowest dose of levo synthroid and now on np thyroid. I have so much anxiety and especially after i take my med. Idk what to do now my endo want to do surgery to rwmove part or all of my thyroid.
Might want get you another endoncologist
Find a functional medicine doctor
I had have my thyroids taken out I had cancer
I had thyroid cancer and it was removed over 20 years. Now, I have a very elevated thyroglobulin antibody and the doctor doesn’t know what is causing it to be high. I have severe fatigue and can’t do simple activities without having to sit and rest after 3-5 mins. I wish I knew what test could be done to figure out what is wrong because i know something is wrong, despite what the doctor says.
I've been taking Inositol powder for years for my Hemochromatosis and liver.
Inositol lowers iron?
Can someone tell me which ones he suggests for Hashimoto's? I am dealing with immense brain fog from SIBO and IMO etc and cannot concentrate.
Do the strict carnivore diet for 2 months, it will starve out all the SIBO bacteria and get you back on track. Take vitamin C and L-glutamine as well as support and gut lining repair.
@Zepherhills Maybe u just got cognitive decline kinna "brain fog!" Lol
Is cod liver oil a good replacement for fish oil or is it the same?
It’s a great one and pretty equivalent, if not better than normal fish oil. 👍🏼
the two are different. cod liver is for vitD and A generally.., fish oil is for omega3
Hi Doctor, what kind of fish oil do you recommend?
Most off the shelf fish oil is rancid. Seven seas liquid cod liver oil is pretty good and high strength.
@@ConnieWobbles thanks 👍
Why do Dr’s only speak about TPO antibodies? My TPO is low (20) but my Tg is high (99>).
My TSH varies (depending on my diet) somethings healthy range, sometimes not.
My Free Thyroxine is always low end of normal. Not on meds.
My GP was concerned for me, but the consultant said Tg is irrelevant, they only look at this antibody in post cancer patients.
Please can you help us understand this? I’m sure I’m not the only one with this confusion.

Can Hashimoto and Hypothyroidism cause cirrhosis of the liver?
Sugar is the main cause. All sugar included fruit sugar. They use to tell people to limit fruit to 2 servings a day. So if you have problems get rid of fruit, all sugar, grains that turn to sugar in you mouth. And of course alcohol.
There are things you can buy that help the liver.
Alcohol
Fructose
The fractured flicker video style is very annoying.
Dr Child’s, I just purchased your EssentialT2 and your T3 conversion Booster…..hoping this will bring my Low thyroid levels up to a normal and healthy range.
Everyday since you have more and more videos that are totally confusing!!!!
Just show the success that people are having with your products….I’m not a Dr, not a scientist and your videos are confusing!🥴
I was told to use Thytrophin PMG from Dr. Eric Berg.
I looked over at his store but didn't see it. Does it go by another name?
@@BubbleBurster-nv1vlStandard Process is the brand name for Thytrophin pmg
It’s a supplement from Standard Process it’s what we integrative holistic healthcare providers sell to our clients.
Also, take at night before bed...
Be careful of Dr, Berg. He makes things up as he goes along. His son has come out on YT exposing him. He always seemed off to me.
I have no thyroid because I had Graves’ disease. They killed off my thyroid with radiative iodine!!
I have been out of my level thyroxine now for almost 2 months and my works insurance changed and honestly that’s been a nightmare. Nobody wants to do their job.. is there anything I can do since I don’t have level thyroxine or thyroid?
Any suggestions would be great
Levothyroxine is a fairly inexpensive medication. $60 a month. Dr. Child’s has supplements specific to the thyroid but more expensive than the actual medication.
Check with your pharmacy about finding you a substantial discount.
Good luck!
💜
The generics are cheap. If u belong to costco the cash price is very low
Also GoodRX which is free and you get a coupon that you can use at any pharmacy. I use it for two RXs that cost a lot through my insurance. Both are under $30 for a three month supply.
Find an INTEGRATED or also known as a FUNCTIONAL MD. They are MD's that also value nutrition and supplements over drugs and prescription drugs. I am now looking for one too.
When I had Grave's disease I went through Endos like cheap shoes. Then I had an Endo that was HONEST with me. She told me she will give me all the PTU, I needed for Grave's disease and eventually my thyroid would level off and I'd probably get Hashimoto's and twenty years later I now have Hashimoto's and now on Armour thyroid. I refused Synthroid. My mother went through hell on that and Armour worked for her. Now I am looking to stop my antibodies from attacking my thyroid and my myelin sheath (MS). I have controlled the MS through diet and still not in a wheel chair as I was promised by an allopathic MD.. There was no way in hell I was going to inject myself everyday with Rebif , that was popular at the time, to mask symptoms and not stop the disease and I am glad I rejected it. The side effects are not something I wanted either. Who needs more problems?
I have one location of cancer in remission and then breast cancer popped up this January. I had a lumpectomy, then 20 rounds of targeted proton radiation where I had very little side effects - just a sunburn and took the summer off thinking about their next recommended step - taxol chemo. Taxol destroys your immune system too. I read that there is a treatment for MS patients in a wheel chair that will HALT, or for some roll back the disease. It's available in some countries in Europe, Russia, the UK and Mexico with an 80% success rate. While I don't need that, it intrigued me. They use stem cells, chemo (forget which kind), four sessions of that and then stem cells. This is all done in a week. Of course the FDA still will not allow it and insurance will not cover it so doctors in the U.S. will not do it.
What this MS TREATMENT does is reset your immune system by destroying it. I decided to go for it. I went seven rounds (6 1/2 hours each session) out of twelve rounds they recommended. I stopped when neuropathy started to set in (two fingers in each hand and only my left foot). I iced up for 2 1/2 hours out of the 6 1/2 hours for treatment and used a Paxman cold cap (saves hair by freezing the hair follicle) and ice in my mouth to prevent chemo mouth sores. Ladies still ICE UP. It normally stops neuropathy and that is often permanent. I had no other issues but the neuropathy. Also raw ginger and fresh lemon (3:1) with a sweetner of your choice prevents any nausea, before, during or after but the fatigue was awful and so was the chemo brain fog. I always felt drunk after I left each session due to the anti nausea garbage they infused. Your body violently rejected the taxol and why they pre load you with anti nausea drugs but ginger saved the day for me once I got out of there and while there. I continue to make it and drink it.
I am hoping a reset of my immune system happened but the idiot Endo I go to now won't test for T3 which is the ACTIVE HORMONE that circulates in your body and won't test for the antibodies. T4 doesn't matter. T4 is just a converter.
I will try what is recommended here because the end result for me will be no thyroid and allopathic doctors love that because it is more repeat visits and prescriptions. They never get the dosage right either. MDs DO get a kick back from pharms. It's sad but the medical profession only wants to treat SYMPTOMS and isn't interested in CURES and with getting less reimbursement, it is all about patient volume and money.
So my best advice to you is find an INTEGRATED or FUNCTIONAL DOCTOR that is also an MD that values nutrition and vitamin and mineral levels that your body uses. These doctors take the same course and have the same degree as an allopathic doctor but their focus is on eliminating the problem rather than just giving you more drugs and sometimes side effects. I am hopeful that my immune system did a RESET and stops attacking me.
Best wishes for you.
