      If Dr. Kharrazian hasn't filmed the brain inflammation video yet, and you are able to, would you pass this request to him please? I have Hashimoto's, and some mornings I wake up feeling like my brain is on fire, but my body is not overheated. I also have only a slight headache, most of the discomfort is from the hot feeling, and the sensation of heat in my head hangs on for the first 60-90 minutes after I wake up. Tissue inflammation causes the area around it to feel hot from the swelling, so I'm now really wondering if that's the same kind of inflammation he's talking about - the sort that can cause heat and tenderness? It might seem like a silly question, "inflammation is inflammation" but I also know much can happen in the brain (including surgery!) and it's not felt at all, and the symptoms he described were more emotional/mental instead of physical. So I hope he will address the physical aspect as well.

      ​@@siberianhusky5874 Then you must also confront the channel owner, Bob & Brad, and many other commenters who abbreviate the title. But, just so you know that we are not wrong in using the title "Dr." this way, here's the rules:
      Addressing a Doctor in Writing
      Place the title of “Dr.” before the name of a person who is a doctor of medicine or psychology, doctor of dentistry, or doctor of veterinary medicine. For example Dr. George Ross. Always write the word “doctor” in its abbreviated form when it goes before the person’s name. Never write, for example, Doctor George Ross. Do not combine the title of “Dr.” with any other title even if the person could appropriately be addressed by a different title. Never write, for example, “Dr. George Ross, Ph.D.,” even if the person is a medical doctor who has also earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree. Pick one title. Do not use the “Dr.” title when referring to someone who is solely an academic doctor.
      In this video, Dr. Kharrazian is speaking from the standpoint of a medical provider, not as a professor. From his own website profile, he is described thusly, "...world-renowned functional medicine health care provider. He develops evidence-based models to treat autoimmune, neurological, and unidentified chronic diseases " So it would be appropriate to refer to him as Dr. Kharrazian.
      I can appreciate that you must greatly admire Dr. Kharrazian and wish to show respect, so please put your mind at ease that it's certainly not disrespectful to use "Dr." when referring to him in writing, and it certainly does not belittle the title.

    I'm sitting here crying because finally someone understands my illness. I've had Hashimoto's for almost 30 years but was only treated for hypothyroidism. Struggled off and on with all of the different symptoms described. I would tell my doctor that I'm a glass half full person yet I was struggling with depression and that I felt it was physically caused. It didn't matter they just throw the same antidepressants at you which never really worked. Thirty years later my body has activated Crohn's disease and it's made me so sick for the last year and a half. The last couple of months I've been so sick that I can hardly eat and have daily fevers. The medical establishment only treats the immediate symptoms and with poison that causes others problems. Thank you for sharing this information, I hope Dr. Kharrazian has something to help me and it's not too late!

    I only briefly looked at his book reviewers but one mentioned a conflict of interest in that he makes a profit off of the supplements that his book recommends and that they’re very expensive.
    No matter how desperate you are, don’t get scammed into paying thousands for a “maybe”. Information on how to go gluten free or other exclusion diets can be found for free online in really accessible formats, from blog posts to video series on CZcams, you don’t need to pay anyone!
    The other exclusion diet that I’ve heard a lot of success stories with is the carnivore diet, while I still need to finish trying a 100% gluten-free diet, that would definitely be my next go to if I still had symptoms.
    I’ve started to greatly value patient stories where they share everything that worked for them (and don’t ask for money in return) over “experts” who have financial gains to make from you.
    As much a big pharma and mainstream medicine can be exploitative, don’t be fooled into thinking non-mainstream medical practitioners and treatments are any less exploitative! They’re still all profiting from your suffering, no nice speech about how they’re “different” changes that your suffering is what their business models are built around to profit on, they’re not a more moral/ethical person even tho they try to market themselves as that a lot of the time. This guy would be making big money just from book sales alone, so don’t mistake the creation of books like these to be good people trying to do a good thing from the kindness of their heart.
    I don’t begrudge anyone making profit, just when someone obfuscates that motivation and tries to pretend helping you is their ONLY motivation “unlike all those OTHER doctors” it’s a very dishonest approach that should be viewed as a red flag.
    In general watch out for explicitly emotional marketing methods, one’s where they try to emotionally validate you by describing your lived experience with excessive sympathy before even explaining their solution or how much it costs, they’re attempting to make you trust them more for this “understanding” they have, rather than marketing the merit of their treatment with actual statistics from studies/trials and not just anecdotes from “patients” that they don’t provide anything to even prove are real people.
    Look for real people online on third party websites (as reviewers on a person’s website can be fake) who can vouch for a treatment method, especially if it’s one that requires a lot of money to access. You’re already suffering enough from being sick, the last thing you want is to be suffering from sinking thousands into a treatment with no proof it’s made anyone better. For this guys book all the positive Amazon reviews were by people who were excited to try it out, not people who said they had tried it and their symptoms were in remission. Big difference, so please do your research first!
    I see so many people in these comment sections who are truly desperate to get better and I hate the idea of anyone getting exploited at their most vulnerable like this, many of us probably all already have stories of paying for treatments that went nowhere, but many people don’t have the spare funds to make a no-return investment of that kind, so caution is very much needed before parting with your money.
    Good luck getting well everyone, hope all of us find that perfect cure for ourselves one day! 🙏✨

    I have been so frustrated with the medical establishment. After 20 years of dealing with Hashi’s and RA, I’ve tried so many diets, cleanses, supplements, etc. I do take Armour Thyroid, and I also take LDN…which doesn’t do much. The rest is through diet and hydration. But…it’s a hard battle done daily, and I want my life back. I’m tired of my body being my daily focus forever. There’s reason for depression…my world has gotten very small, and that’s not how I want to be. I am grateful for my dear friends and my love-partner…they get me through.

Keep a food diary to make sure there aren't other food allergies happening, as well. I've read that dairy and gluten sensitivity can go hand in hand. If you have depression, work with your doctor but do your due diligence in taking control of your health by changing your diet and exercise routine, a bit.

    As a guy with Hashimotos I’ve been dealing with it since I was around 10-12. The doctors thought I was depressed and I had gained and lost weight dramatically for years. 35 now and because it wasn’t helped or taken care of it has led to severe mental health disorders. I’m on 8 medications, some for hashimotos and others are for mental health. The worst part is trying to find a doctor who understands what I’m dealing with. Everything he said is true, endocrinologist states yup you got hypothyroidism here’s some synthroid.

    I’m 75 and I’ve been waiting 60 years for a doctor like you to come along. I am certain I had hashimotos disease when I was very young. Once I went away to college I developed severe anemia then Graves’ disease. (A total reversal) I had the first thyroid lobe removed before I had my children. Then as predicted by my doctor, ten years later I had the second lobe removed. I discovered by paying attention that B12 somehow was involved due to going on a plant based diet in 2014. I could not believe how much my health improved by the diet and B12 supplements but the most interesting thing is that I required less and less hormone supplements (synthroid). My doctor is now trying to find out why. I went from 150 mcg to 77 mcg in a couple of years time. He thought it might be biotene in my vitamin supplement but it isn’t in the ingredients.
    Thank you, Dr. Kharrazian. Please keep up the good work. This area of medicine has been neglected for far too long. I will tell my doctor about your books.

We move to COLORADO new doctor tested and said he didn’t have Hashimoto’s just hyperthyroidism and changed his med to 175 and ever sense he has been getting sicker and sicker 5 years now. He went to a allergy doctor for chronic itching and the test peroxidase was 289 and thyroglobulin 1000. So now we’re back to new endocrinologists so more meds maybe. But we took gluten out of his diet and as much sugar as we can find even most fruit it takes time to change and see a difference but I am hopeful.

      First step, remove all gluten.. it works against the thyroid. Also, avoid antacids and other medications that interfere with the thyroid medicine.

They have me seeing a neurologist and an audiologist, neither of whom can explain what's happening with the verigo and dizziness, by the way. In addition I have developed leaky gut (they diagnosed from food sensitivities that popped out of nowhere), anemia, and vitamin deficiencies, all within the last YEAR. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's 9 years ago and they are treating all of these things as individual health complaints. Unbelievable. So glad I stumbled across this, maybe there's some hope and relief from the weirdness that has become my body and my life the last few years.

I didn't even ask for a hashimotos test and my regular doctors one day said "hey we're gonna test you cuz your blood levels are weird" and lo and behold I had it. An endocrinologist said I needed meds, but when I was on levothyroxine it just made all my symptoms 1000 times worse so I haven't been on those meds in years. I've been gluten and dairy free for over a year and that has done wonders for my weight and ability to function normally, and aside from that stress is the number 1 thing that will make everything come back and my immune system unable to regulate me not getting colds. Sleep, making sure I enjoy each day, hobbies, I have to do it or I'll get sick asap. this year however has been hard since due to certain circumstances my schedule doesn't allow me to get enough sleep 4 days out of the week and it's slowly making me sicker and sicker.

    My endocrinologist did test me for the thyroid antibodies. My test came back positive. So she diagnosed me with Hashimotos.
    The biggest challenges for me are the brain fog, the extreme fatigue and joint pain. I get frustrated with not feeling well.
    Unfortunately for me, on top of the Hashimotos, I also have central hypothyroidism due to a macroadenoma
    that pretty much left my pituitary non functional. (Due to the pituitary tumor, I also have secondary adrenal insufficiency and very negligible HGH).
    ALOT of my frustration comes from not feeling well. But, because so many things are wrong with my health, I don't know what causes all my miserable symptoms...is it the Hashimotos?
    Is it the central hypothyroidism?
    Is it the secondary adrenal insufficiency or the HGH depletion?
    Or what combination of all the above is making me feel so "off" and unwell?
    I try to tell my endocrinologist that I don't feel well. Something doesn't feel right inside. I just don't feel right inside.
    But, all she says is "well, all your monitored hormone test numbers are within normal range."
    It is very discouraging to hear that, when I know that I don't feel right inside.
    I just come to the conclusion that I will never feel right inside ever again. I feel so unwell inside that I know something isn't right. But, I don't know how to ever pinpoint what it is so that it could possibly be treated and corrected.
    This may sound melodramatic, but it is the truth, that this overall unwell sensation that I feel inside sometimes makes me feel like I am halfway between life and death. That's the feeling that this overall unwellness gives me. It's not constant. Sometimes I feel better than at other times. But, when this feeling of unwellness inside comes over me it really makes me feel halfway between life and death. It's miserable!
    Maybe someday I can find some answers.
    But, this video was very interesting to listen to.
    And maybe, anyone else with any of my issues can give me some feedback on on how they feel and how they cope with their illnesses, including Hashimotos.

      I've had that not sick but not well, neither alive nor dead feeling most of the last 40+ years. I tried different things (found on my own-no help from doctors) and finally found a combination that lets me feel good much of the time. I eat a DASH - Mediterranean (sort of) diet, little to no dairy and gluten; drink lots - almost a half gallon - of water a day; go to bed very early; do some deliberate exercise every day; and work with a personal trainer once a week. I also convinced my doc to prescribe natural thyroid instead of levothyroxin. I actually have some pain-free days now!

      When treating the thyroid with meds good doctors try to keep hypothyroid patients numbers LOWER than normal. Not in the normal range BUT LOWER than normal. A lot of hypothyroid patients do not feel well until this occurs. You also have many layers of hypothyroid. So of course it’s possible for it to take more attention and tweaking in all areas to be addressed for you to feel even close to normal. You’re also not making proper responsive cortisol to respond to stress and situations that can stress your body/mind. THAT will also make you feel unwell. So it’s totally understandable. Also, thyroid symptoms, function can wax and wane so that also can explain why you may feel almost normal for a touch and then go back to feeling unwell, not normal. I hope your Docs are addressing ALL your endocrine health issues in tandem. If not try to get better ones.

    When my doctor finally got frustrated enough with my complaints, she referred me to an endocrinologist. After 3 months of waiting for an appointment, I was hopeful. He asked me some questions, did a quick exam and said he was sorry but nothing was wrong with my thyroid. He had looked at the blood work (TSH and T4) my Dr had done 3 months earlier and it was within range. I asked about other tests…T3, rev T3. He said if I wanted to do the T3, he would go along but there is nothing there. I asked about an antibody test and he said since I had Graves’ disease 20 yrs ago, I would test with antibodies and that would be meaningless. So I said, well, don’t bother. I went home and ordered my own comprehensive panel and sure enough, my antibodies are at 330. While all other tests are in range, I’m learning that most are not even borderline optimal. So I’m trying to find a dr who can help me. I’ve been keto for 18 months and I think that’s the only thing that is helping since I’ve had no gluten whatsoever and I’m eating 100% whole food. I even make my own mayo in order to avoid all soy.
