Watch the video below to see our approach to Hashimoto's & Thyroid.
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (also called Hashimoto's disease or chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis) is the most common thyroid disease in the United States. It is an inherited condition that affects over 10 million Americans. It is about seven times more common in women. Hashimoto’s disease involves the production of immune cells and autoantibodies by the body’s immune system that can damage thyroid cells and compromise their ability to make thyroid hormones. Hypothyroidism occurs if the amount of thyroid hormone produced is not enough for the body’s needs. The thyroid gland may also enlarge, forming a goiter. Hashimoto’s disease results from a problem with the immune system. When working properly, the immune system is designed to protect the body against invaders such as bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substances. The immune system of someone with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis mistakenly recognizes normal thyroid cells as foreign tissue and produces antibodies that may destroy these cells.
Hashimoto’s is the most commonly diagnosed autoimmune disease but the problem is that the person looks fine from the outside, even though they are exhausted and don’t feel fine on the inside. Most of our patients come into our office, even if they already have a diagnosis of Hashimoto's, on medications- but they are still experiencing most of the typical symptoms. <br> The problem with traditional thyroid care is 2 fold: One is that the thyroid typically is only superficially evaluated on lab work- out of 10 markers needed to fully understand what is going on with the thyroid, typically only 1 or 2 are run. This is typically why Hashimoto’s autoimmune thyroid is commonly missed. Secondly, regardless of what is found wrong- even if it is Hashimoto's - the only treatment that is typically offered is hormone replacement therapy in the form of Synthroid or levothyroxine. So picture the problem: the immune system has begun attacking and destroying your thyroid gland.. and the only treatment offered is to give you the thyroid hormone that you are missing because of it. None of that does anything to deal with the autoimmune component- which is why you still experience so many of the same symptoms. If it advances to the point where you have an ultrasound and they see something that they “need to watch”- what are they watching it for? They are watching it till it gets bad enough or becomes cancer- then they are going to move to take the thyroid out. This is why so many people end up feeling lost because they have all the symptoms, but are told it isn’t their thyroid. Or that their numbers look good- even though they don’t feel very good. Or do they have to deal with the worry every time of year when they go back in for follow-up ultrasounds- is this the one they find something bad on. So obviously the elephant in the room is the autoimmune component of Hashimotos. f the immune system component of Hashimoto's isn’t dealt with, the problem itself will degenerate and never go away.
o our approach has to focus on running the right testing markers, all 10, to make sure that we know exactly where the problem is happening with your thyroid issue. Now if you already have a diagnosis of Hashimoto's, that means we can jump right in but we have to do different testing. This testing has to be around WHY your immune system is attacking your thyroid. It needs to be evaluated in the framework of “Energetic Debt” which is our explanation on why autoimmune diseases happen to begin with.
But if we can apply the right framework around Hashimoto's and autoimmune disease, and test around those concepts, now we can find out why that is actually happening to you. Finally, using technology in the space of Bioelectronics, a technology designed in the healthcare space to target the specific problems that are caused by an autoimmune disease that notoriously have not been able to be helped.
Superior Health Solutions is a facility designed to care for chronic & complicated health challenges using all natural, non-invasive methods.
We do this by combining the most up to date research on the most difficult to solve problems, combined with multiple different advanced biotechnologies literally designed to increase the healing process.
While we do work with you on how to make simple, but impactful lifestyle changes like diet and vitamins that is not all that we do.
You won’t be leaving out of here with a shopping bag full of vitamins and the world’s most strict diet plan and told to come back in a few months to see how you did with it.
If you have one of the one of the conditions listed on the site, and you are ready to make a change to regain your health and do what it takes to have that happen, then a conversation to see what is possible is in order.
This needs to be a collaborative approach between both sides. This is right for someone who is willing to invest in their health to take back control of what you have lost. We are typically not the first office that people come to, we are typically the doctors of last resort.
I have sat with so many people, some with incredibly significant problems, but the people that start working with us are usually moved at being at rock bottom. Now I hope you are not there.
But people who usually enter our world are tired, frustrated, tried almost everything and motivated to do something different.
If you need a big sales pitch or convincing that this health problem is important enough to deal with, then I’m not the guy for you.
I’m here to give you the information that you need in order to make a good decision.
This is right for the person, who is tired of conventional medicine and not getting the results that they want and are looking for more innovative approaches to get results.
In order to accept you as a patient into care, we have to willingly not accept someone else. So you will have our 100% commitment to you and figuring this out, so we ask you for the same commitment.
We go through a multi-step process of evaluating your specific health challenge.
First, we will go through a detailed conversation with you to get all the information on what you are experiencing and where you want to go with your health.
We will also review any test results that have been run on you in the past, so please be sure to bring those with you.
Next, we are going to run tests on you that you have probably never seen before, Don’t worry, they aren’t painful.
But they are tests that most doctors miss that gives us the advantage to be able to pinpoint exactly what is going on with your body.
We don’t want to operate with only a fraction of the information, we want to operate with all the right data.
From there we will get you scheduled for a follow-up visit typically within a day or 2 and we are going to cover everything that we found.
Finally, based off all that information, we will develop and design a unique care plan for you. Finances will be discussed at this time, so please bring anyone involved in the decision making process.
To be fair, while I would love to give you a specific number, without knowing your specific health details I could either give you a number that is too high, or too low.
Since we custom our care based on what conditions and specific findings a patient presents with, we need to have that data first before we can give you an accurate answer.
But all of that will be discussed at length before a care plan is presented.
To give you an example, in traditional medicine care, for Multiple Sclerosis patients spend about 4 million dollars in care over their lifetime - which is astronomical - and they still end up being sick and progressing.
Our program for MS is a tiny fraction of that.
With that being said, we want you to be able to get the type of care that you deserve and the results that you want.
If we determine it’s a good fit, all costs of care will be spoken about before we move forward.
Because of the level of care, amount of care and time dedicated to each case that we spend, we will prepare a custom care plan and resolve the finances before any care begins.
We also have financing programs that work with a very high acceptance rate.
We would love it if insurance companies and all kinds of healthcare put their differences aside and focused on what really matters - you the patient and all worked together to help you get better.
Unfortunately that is not the case.
Any kind of care that is designed to prevent or improve your health is not considered medically necessary.
I know, I know that sounds crazy - but all traditional care follows medicare guidelines - which is why they only cover prescriptions and surgery.
If there was a treatment out there right now that was covered by your insurance companies, that your doctors could get paid for - They would have offered it you already.
The covered treatment that you most likely have already received isn’t going to get you different results than you are currently getting.
We had a very real choice:
Either offer what everyone else offered and get the same results that someone else pays for, or step outside of the insurance box and get the patients the results that they deserve even if they are responsible for the cost.
The patients that we work with are tired of what their insurance is willing to pay for because it keeps them stuck, frustrated and sick.
If what we offered was more of the same, what would be the point of us working together?
You would get the same outcome as you got before.
As an example, the thyroid patients that we see are still being treated the way it was designed originally in 1964- and there is nothing new coming for them.
You deserve better.
