Get Treatment For Hashimoto's Disease From A Specialist

Most people think of Hashimoto's disease as a thyroid problem, but it's actually an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid.

Unfortunately, there is no Hashimoto's specialist, or autoimmune specialist in medicine today. The job of treating thyroid autoimmunity typically falls on the shoulders of endocrinologists.

Due to the lack of our understanding of autoimmune triggers and drivers, doctors do not currently have medications or tools to treat the cause of autoimmunity, but rather have to focus on symptom management through the use of thyroid hormone replacement therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, steroids, and Immunosuppressive drugs.

Research into the triggers and driving factors of autoimmunity is a high priority of scientists today, but we do not have a way to cure Hashimoto's naturally, or with medications.
