my question is; after fungal issues for many years, are mushrooms the answer for ppl like me!? The Root of most cancers are fungal. i deal with c as well. I'v followed Dr.A & Jorden since early 2000, The sweet Lord brought them to me. Blessings to you. Dr. Caroline Leaf is another person The Holy Spirit brought to me back then. ALL of 'them' were a great tag-team. {most things start in Childhood} i grew up in the Farmland... So.Central Cali.

My daughter lost her baby At 18 weeks utero from CMV virus she had to deliver Ava who had passed three weeks inside of her. We had a funeral and buried her on a January 10th. I was so surprised when you mentioned CMV disease because we have never heard of this virus before. My daughter just had an appointment with the mid wife yesterday and they discussed her blood work taken on the day she birthed Ava and she thinks my daughter has Hashimoto disease I was so surprised you mentioned all this. I’m so glad I came across this video.

@@debbieclark4056I have CMV also known as HCMV (Human Cytomegalovirus). My hospital asked if they could test me for it, while I was pregnant to see if they could put me in a study for women who contact it while pregnant. It can cause deafness. I already had it. The majority of people already do, so I don't think your daughter's doctor is correct. It might be some other medication they recommended.

The problem with probiotics postbiotics and prebiotics is your digestion. Oftentimes we don't consider the pH balance in our gut when digesting our food especially when the gallbladder has been removed. An incorrect balance of digestive enzymes, bile salts, and HCL has a tendency to throw off your guts ability to keep probiotics alive. Too alkaline or too acidic and the probiotics will not thrive. Cancer loves acid. Much of the time the liver is the contributing factor. The reason you lost the gallbladder in the first place was a liver issue. So to heal the gut it takes far more than just probiotics. Probiotics are the seeds but you have to make sure your soil will nourish them.

This is what I’m trying to figure out. Probiotics make my stomach worse. I have no gallbladder & I’m hypothyroid so all this makes sense. Gotta fix the gut.
I'm so grateful for doctors like you. This is such helpful information. I will listen again! Blessings!
Yes, my hair is thiner, i am weaker, tired, hot and cold, slight swelling in my neck, sore throat that comes and goes, pain in my back on my right side up to my neck, swelling in my right leg, constipation then diareah
Thank you for the in depth video, Dr. Axe. Great work, as usual! Much appreciated.
Yes, this is exactly what I experienced. First my guts were ruined at 14 years old age by appendix removal with infection and antibiotics. Malabsorption started. But also Sibo signs. Next I got all these foodallergies and hayfever. Now my thyroid is deteriorating.
Thank you, doctor! You gave me a lot of hope. What you said hit close to home. I know what I have to do now.
Thank you.
Dr. Axe, thx for all your expertise and mission to be faithful to your calling of our LORD in your life! Would you host a podcast on mast cell activation, including food and environmental allergens and sensitivities. I have read some on this, but would like your take on the subject. Thank you, and be encouraged cuz you are helping older folks like me navigate health concerns into wellness🎉 I am one who wants to continue thru life, taking no prescription drugs.
Thank you for getting so much info out in such a concise way! How do we educate our NDs to help us repair and heal our thyroid? I have normal blood levels but still have the symptoms you mentioned.

Dr. Axe, I have had type 1diabetes and hashimotos for over 40 years. I have been on synthroid and levothyroxine the whole time. What tests do I need to get my internal medicine doctor to order for me.
Thank you for this great video
Thank you Dr. Axe...
hi dr, i’ve been subscribed for awhile, but haven’t been watching lately. i just started back, i can’t believe you haven’t been on my radar, you have wonderful information. i have 4 children, 2 have type 1 diabetes.. the oldest and the youngest. ( 28 yr & 16) the two middle don’t have it. my oldest and youngest have different fathers, so i assume this is my defective gene passed on… i’m conflicted bc i was always told ( back in 2000) when my daughter was diagnosed at 3 , that it took the mother and father both to have the recessive gene… i have grief over this .. and worry.. i think i have developed a auto immune over multiple reasons. do you have any info on this? thanks
Thank you dr Axe
I never developed COVID, but I had several vaccinations. I was wondering if the vaccinations might have triggered my recent Hashimoto's diagnosis. I still have a weird rash going on that developed shortly after Vaccination #2 (or 3 or 4?) from about two years ago. I haven't had a vaccination since then.

I was just diagnosed with recurrent melanoma. A year ago I rejected immunotherapy and only had surgery. Now I am considering it with this new recurrence. 😢 I know it can really harm my thyroid and I already have Hashi's. Can you feature a video on hashimoto's and immunotherapy?
When you say reverse hashimotos, do you mean become stable on the amount of thyroid medication you need, or no longer have any antibodies, or no longer have symptoms? Or do you mean completely reverse it to the point you no longer have hypothyroidism? I have chronic Lyme disease ebv and cmv and even after years of treatment my levels have not budged. I will say my symptoms have improved but not completely and I still have a lot of limitations in what I can do and eat.
Would Methylene Blue help?
I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Years ago, I developed a nodule in my thyroid gland. Years later, it grew in size, and it was discovered to be papillary carcinoma. Long story short, both lobes were removed and a lymph gland that had cancer. Then, I got RAI Treatment. My question is.. I no longer have a thyroid gland. Do I still have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, or just Hashimoto's, or is it some other autoimmune problem now?
Thank you so much gives us hope it can be reversed
I have been getting tested for years at my doctors for hypothyroidism. She never found anything! Now, i have been tested by a naturopath and blood testing shows i have hashimotos!
The endocrinologist has tried very hard to get the cells to take the thyroid hormone. Unfortunately she has no knowledge of the issue I face. Even Liothyronine will not get into the cells. I’m stuck on a medication that is blocked by my body. I have taken thyroid medication for 20 years but remain hypothyroid , thyroid gland is swollen and the fatigue is just unbearable

Yes , I heard a doctor say he could reverse a lot of illnesses but if a woman went back to her abusive partner / parent etc the treatment wouldn’t last . Stress manifests as a physical ailment in the body. When yiur under constant threat your body stops digesting food and when your not getting the nutrients illness follows. Gut mind connection .

Just like you said doc only checks my levels and sends me home and even though i have asked many diff docs they all wont say anything about diet changes except for one i found lazt year how specialises in hashi. Even thougj its been 12 years and there is quite a big amount of damage to my thyroids, do i still have a chance of remission?

you can take it in pills or extracts, even some of Dr. Axes supplements include mushroom extracts in them. But also be conscious about your body because if you don't like them it could be you don't need them. doing things to strengthen the mind body connection like conscious breathwork helped me to strengthen that connection for myself, so not I am drawn to things like foods or supplements I need intuitively . Its different for everyone, you have to find what works for you
can you recommend a soil based organism probiotic?
Eggs? They are often included. I only eat pasture raised but now I’ve seen them included in food sensitivities. Thoughts?

I don't understand this... let me explain.. my mother my grandmother my aunt my other grandmother all had thyroid problems and high blood pressure. I don't have thyroid problem and I have low blood pressure.
Hi dr josh axe what if you have a thyroid problem Issue from a child Due to an accident And have been on medication ever since Can it be fixed The same way as you are discussing it today in your thyroid 5 Steps You repeat
This info is great, but how do you go about finding the exacts of what to do to fix it. We live in a small town and none of the Dr. here have a clue beyond pills. Seems like unless you're one of the lucky few to have Dr. Are near them, you are left to figure it out all on your own. Sure you can do some changes with this video, but like you said you can't completely heal until you have all the key components. Just feeling a little lost, with no one to really help guide.
