How well explained!!! Such a difficult topic in such simple language is a wonderful effort to anyone with little knowledge of a very common medical condition often made more confusing by practitioners. Thank you Ma'am. Really admirable.

This video is informative and I like that the terms used can easily be understood! I learned a lot

Dr. Wendi, THANK YOU SO MUCH for making these extremely clear and concise videos. I have difficulty with pure auditory memory, but your captions and illustrations are so helpful. These processes are fascinating to me! I also have Hashimoto's, so this really helps me understand the complexity behind it.

Question: When a person like me who can't eat certain food, not because of an allergy, but also not necessarily because of digestive issues either, but because of molecular mimicry since anti-thyroid antibodies attack when gluten is present - WHAT is that called please? Thank you again!

Thank you for educating us. As I have Autoimmune Hepatitis I really appreciate this explanation of what is going on. I am prescribed an immunosuppressant and Vit D and Calcium as I had to have Prednisolone to begin with. I do also have asthma and multiple allergies and food intolerance s we I actually played in the dirt but, maybe not until the age of 3. This was in the country of my birth. When I was 6 we went back to the country of my family’s origin which is where the asthma started after a bout of bronchitis. I’ve had 2 or 3 attacks of anaphylaxis. Currently allergic to 2 native grasses which is unfortunate as I love gardening. This in a way is nothing compared to the Autoimmune Hepatitis ! I have another autoimmune disease, one that I find embarrassing, it’s called Lichen Schlerosus.

[differentyetsame]

Great content and refresher, thank you

[loveandmyself]

primary environmental factor & exposure to injecting us with non organic substances is likely the trigger... in my opinion.

I was diagnosed with hashimoto in 2003 and cure-dents my self with plants in 15 montes. They are curable.

So could a reaction to massive cat dander cause a person to have worse arthritis in the back and hips?

Great video. Are there any supplements you recommend to suppress the overactive immune system naturally?

[MisSaLiMaRi]

I have psoriasis and CIU (2 diff auto immune diseases). You mentioned 2 types of “treatments” for psoriasis being prednisone (a steroid) and topical steroid creams. Yes, these are commonly used as a band aide to suppress the plaques however, prednisone long term is NOT a good treatment and anyone on this video that might have that disease and is looking for treatment should know that. I’m prescribed Methotrexate (7 of them in pill form 1x a week). There are a lot of other similar pills with different names that treat the psoriasis similarly. Look into those and do not stay dependent on steroids like prednisone that can have long term detrimental side effects to your body. Lastly, if you have CIU - Xolair injections are life changing. This is a “biologic” injection known as an immuno suppressant that suppresses the overactive production of eosinophils in the blood. Hope this helps anyone on this video looking for answers as i always was during the years of pain before my diagnosis.

Namastey doctor,
Could you please guide me if there is a relationship between high IGE and positive ANA ?
Also, any relationship between high serum covid antibody and positive ANA ?
How to go about a proper diagnosis and management after getting positive ANA?What are the immediate next steps ?
