Does Hashimoto's go into remission, or Hashimoto's and remission. These are questions that have come in a variety of different forms, and I'll try to cover them all. The answer to does Hashimoto's go into remission is, yes. Yes. It actually is a normal part of it. Autoimmunity in general, the goal when you treat a patient with autoimmunity, whether you're treating with medication, immunoglobulins or steroids, or whatever, or whether you're doing the superior model of functional medicine for Hashimoto's, the goal is always the same. The goal is to take that person who is an active case, and normally I don't get cases coming in here in remission, and to get that person into remission. Let's go back a step. All autoimmunity has certain touchstone characteristics. When you have a patient that comes in, they don't know what the heck is going on. You're digging, and you're trying to say, "Okay, where do we go with this? Is it inflammation? Is it autoimmunity?" You start hearing a person going, "It was triggered by this. Then I had it for a while, and then it went away. I have no idea why it went away. I just know it went away." Then a year or two, I just had one yesterday. I just had one yesterday. And five years later, it came back. Then he did some herbs and botanicals, and he worked with a nutritionist and stuff, and then it went away. In five years it's went from like 2000, it went away. 2005, it came back, and then it went away. 2010, it came back, and then it went away. 2015, it came back, went away. Then yesterday, he's calling me. That's a natural... That was not a Hashimoto's case. That was a rheumatoid arthritis case, and that's a natural characteristic of autoimmunity. There's lots of people who don't understand about autoimmunity yet, but one thing we do know is it comes and goes. If it doesn't go, that's when you end up in your doctor's office, our office, your rheumatologist office, trying to figure out how to get it to go in remission. Why does it go into remission? Yeah, it's hard to say. Just from the understanding that I have of treating this for thousands of these cases over a period of a long time, it just seems like, there's so many different things that affect it. Everybody's immune system has a different, for lack of a better term, plasticity. Some of your immune systems are stronger than others.
