Autoimmunology is the new profession in medicine so one day we may really get support from the medical profession.
Dr. O'Bryan explained the science behind antibodies. When cells get old the body sends antibodies to get rid of those old cells. You are killing off only as many old cells as you are making new cells. Your antibody test will be in the normal range. But when the number of antibody cells go up you are then killing more cells than you are making. If you are killing off more thyroid cells than you are making every day, you may have high counts for a long time and not realize it. One day you have now killed enough cells so now you are feeling more fatigue and cold and your symptoms may cause you to seek a doctor and EVENTUALLY after a dreadful length of time you may be diagnosed. But even after takin
thyroid hormone, this does not stop the activity. You have to find the trigger to the autoimmune attacks!
Dr. O'Bryan did not suffer from hypothyroidism but rather had myelin antibodies which would be leading to a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. He obviously overcame this form of autoimmunity and explains that if a toxin binds to an intestinal cell (or a brain cell, or a kidney cell), the body will attack not only the toxin but the cell to which it is attached. After the cell is damaged then more antibodies have to remove that along with the toxin.
Our ancestors did not have to deal with lets say red dye #3 for instance, so modern day additives are bringing about this new attack which is now so serious that Dr. Mark Hyman, a functional medicine pioneer, now heads the department at the Cleveland Clinic which is a major portion of that hospital.
Dr. O'Bryan had a series called Betrayal. I don't know if it's available but this excerpt makes me feel it would be worth locating. It also seems to me that antibody tests of all kinds may be very helpful and possibly the first tests to take in making a diagnosis.

Thank YOU very much, researcher! I'm hoping he has some recommendations about testing and treatment. We really have to see the big picture about autoimmune disease.
Dr O'Bryan's aim was to help and to make a difference to those who have been suffering on a daily basis and have been called hypochondriac and/or have been given anti-depressants and other unnecessary drugs without any success. He has released it all the series online and for free. Discussions revolve around the root cause to auto-immunity and he has provided lots of information, advice, and real stories, to include his, to learn from.
I watched when first aired but always good to be able to re visit. I love Dr Tom O'Bryan, he set me on my path of learning years ago when he first appeared on Sean Croxton's Underground Wellness radio broadcast.
Sean Croxton interviewed so many cutting edge scientists/doctors/ researchers/ nutritionists. There will still be lots of you tube videos.
Dr Datis Kharrazian author of the amazing books 'Why do I still have Thyroid Symptoms' 'Why is my Brain not Working' appeared on the Thyroid Summit. Known as the Thyroid Sessions Sean Croxton (UW) put together a few years ago. There will be you tube videos of that summit and others he put together.
The Underground Wellness Show, there will still be access to listen to the interviews online.
Partial or whole interviews of the summits on you tube.
Also a few info lectures
Anyone not know the difference between A1 and A2 milk (A2 which has now after all this time started appearing in our supermarkets!) ? Well there is a brilliant 2 part you tube video of Sean Croxton explaining. Don't be put off by his enthusiastic opening to his broadcasts - he is very seriously well informed
Thanks, LynneG, these summits have been so eye-opening with lots of suggestions. It proves that the research is there. I wish there were more doctors available. D. Kharrazian has a waiting list of 1500 and now that he's on a Fellowship at Harvard, it will be long wait. It's difficult to get the testing from conventional doctors. If you have any suggestions along those lines, please post them.
A2 milk has been in the news recently and may be so helpful for children but nut milks are a good alternative as well.

They can wipe out antibodies and cure chronic fatigue, so why not Hashimoto's?
