Hashimoto's disease and brain autoimmunity part 2 In this video, I discuss a complex case of a patient with Hashimoto's disease and the expansion of their autoimmune condition to the brain. When dealing with autoimmune conditions, I always ask the critical question: 'Where is the rest of it?' Autoimmune diseases rarely exist in isolation. Most patients with one autoimmune disorder often have others that may not have been diagnosed yet. Understanding the broader autoimmune picture is crucial for

Question: How to Find the Root Cause of Autoimmunity? Short Answer: Autoimmune conditions are likely driven by deficiencies of vitamins A and D, which contribute to post-infectious autoimmunity by compromising the rhythmic rise and fall of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), and to autoimmunity regardless of infections through impaired suppression of Th17 helper T cells. More broadly, infections and tissue damage are the most likely drivers of autoimmunity onset. However, energy metabolism
