Hashimoto's Autoimmune Reactivity to T3 and T4 - Dr. Martin Rutherford

This is a pretty cool one because no one ever talks about it. It's Hashimoto's autoimmune reactivity to the thyroid hormones, T3 and T4. For those of you who may not have ever seen any of my things before that we've put online, any of my presentations, then I'll do just a little quick, here's what the thyroid hormone is. Your thyroid puts out two hormones. One is T4, it's inactive. The other one is T3. It puts out like 93%, I've seen 93 and 97%. It puts out let's say 90% T4 and it puts out 3% T3. So the T4 has to be turned into T3 because T3 is the active form of the thyroid hormone that goes into the trillions of cells in your body to make you actually work, give you energy, control your temperature and that type of stuff.

If you have not enough T3, you're like, you have no energy. Energy is down, your cold, you got cold feet, you know, you're putting on weight because everything slows down, hair starts falling out, all the classic hypothyroid symptoms. If you have too much T3, you're like this. You're like, you're losing weight, you have more energy than 15 people put together, your heart's pounding like crazy, may have anxiety, night sweats, panic attacks, can't sleep, that type of stuff. The second one of those examples, the too much T3 is what you feel like if you get an auto immune attack against your T3 and against your T4, and it happens and it's very disturbing. Sometimes people will have a low thyroid function and they'll take T4.

Synthetic hormones, like Leibowthyroxin, Synthroid, these have binders in them. They have a lot of things in them that can flare you up, but they're basically the only the T4 inactive hormone. You're supposed to take it and then your body is supposed to turn that into T3, if your body's able to do that. Sometimes you'll take that. Maybe you'll feel a little jittery, doctor won't be able to figure why. Maybe you'll take that and you'll feel good for a while, and then you'll get jittery. Your doctors are like, I just gave you T4, it's not supposed to do anything. It shouldn't, and it doesn't have a direct effect relative to your immune system attacking your enzymes that make it, but it will have a direct effect if it's being attacked by your immune system.

But if you take another thyroid hormone that has T3 in it, and these are the bioidenticals, these are the pig thyroids, the cow stuff, this is the nature-Throid which everybody says, "Oh, it's wonderful, It's bio identical, It's like, it's wonderful." You take it and you start feeling like I said when you have hyper, you feel like your head's going to blow off, your heart starts pounding, you start getting irritable and jittery. It's because in there, you also have T3. You have a good chunk of T3 in those. If you have autoimmunity actually attacking the T4 into T3 hormone, you're going to find out if you take one of those bioidenticals, and that's not the only reason bioidentical will make you go into hyperthyroid symptoms and functions but, there's not that many reasons that that happens either.
