Dr. Carolyn Dean Live

In a recent blog by an author of a book on Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis said the following: “Most patients with Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism will have weight gain, acid reflux, nutrient deficiencies, anemia, leaky gut, food allergies and adrenal insufficiency. Symptoms of impaired digestion, absorption, anxiety, chronic-fatigue and environmental allergies may be seen as well. While conventional medicine only looks at each body system as a separate category, and isn’t concerned with the thyroid’s ability to produce thyroid hormone, Hashimoto’s is more than just hypothyroidism.” What Dr. Dean wants to make clear is that these symptoms are not all about the thyroid at all. The underlying cause of Hashimoto’s is likely yeast overgrowth and mineral deficiency. To say it’s all about the thyroid is a huge distraction and avoids healing the underlying cause. This topic is very important and it’s why Dr. Dean is writing a booklet about it to remind people to keep digging for the root cause of their problems.
