Solely prescribing thyroid medication for autoimmune Hashimoto’s is like silencing a fire alarm in a burning house without extinguishing the fire itself.
Thyroid medication is crucial in managing the low thyroid hormone levels that result from autoimmune thyroid damage. However, it doesn’t directly address the root cause of immune system dysfunction.
In autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto’s, the immune system mistakenly attacks body tissue, leading to its destruction.
Strategies that aim to dampen the autoimmune response, modulate immune activity, and promote overall immune system health are key for effective treatment for long-term symptom relief and disease management.
By focusing solely on thyroid hormone levels and not addressing autoimmunity, healthcare providers miss the crucial aspect of health management.
