"...and depending on how this goes we may end up doing in the first two weeks I don't know but we'll definitely do it today so I'm just going to get cut right to the chase here this seems to be a stress-related group of questions so is there a link between long-term stress of about five years and hyperthyroidism / Graves disease tell you what I'll just read this and and I'll keep my stuff out of this now I think we should turn back and forth but with Graves disease the literature does state that stress can precipitate the condition some people dispute that in the literature but overall it's pretty well accepted this stress does cause Graves disease stress is not as much identified as a trigger for Hashimoto's yet but we're anticipating that that's going to change because we hear it all the time or person goes through major stressor and then they develop Hashimoto's so just realize this is an evolving situation we don't have all the answers even here in...things are changing all the time but I just read an article this morning...and they were talking about stress as it pertains to hyperthyroidism so yes without a doubt without

"...a chiropractic physician and a board-certified functional neurologist this is Dr. Randul okay you know he's the fourth certified functional neurology we're certified Chiropractic neurologist technical way to had I ever immigrants your certified functional medicine practice can you tell I was just talking about 23 different things before we just started I was just told I don't think that disgusting fish oil the truth about fish oil this is dr. Gates this topic today he chose and why are we picking on fish oil because we're kind of sort of going to pick on fish oil not really like badly if you're taking fish oil doesn't mean I've stopped taking it but we spent a lot of time developing protocols to help people within with chronic pain issues chronic syndromes...we're going to be like emptying the oceans for fish oil and we're not going to make the point that it's not because obviously it has been proven to be useful for a variety of functions of the brain function and anti-inflammatory Sarah however in our clinical World we're responsible results and we have to use certain methods to change symptomatology to get conditions to calm down and or disappear and we haven't had maybe the greatest experience with fish oils versus saying even turmeric we've used turmeric which we don't use that often anymore but we've used to work and when we used it in high dose..."

"...first question is do you ever see patients who experience inner Tremors can you address what this might be all about and I would say yes we can address what this is all about we see a lot of patients with a variety of some Tremors and inner tremors are something that have a specific medical understanding for us yeah and the internal Tremors can be a number of things you could be anxiety it could be an autoimmune response your thyroid it could be hyperthyroidism it could be something like a pheochromocytoma which is where your adrenal gland has a tumor on it and makes to me adrenal hormones so all of those are possibilities for the internal Tremors we frequently see it with autoimmune thyroid disease but we see a lot of so that so that's kind of our take on anxiety a lot of anxiety those are two things I would go to those two things first I don't know yeah okay but yes can you have fibromyalgia this is a great question because it's kind of fiber understanding of fibromyalgia...

we're going to address today is pernicious anemia autoimmune seem to me that that one could be pretty well easily fact figured out on the internet Canada cause severe pain and tummy issues you described I think pernicious anemia is autoimmune but I think it's a very interesting thing to maybe expand on a little bit I just things that might be connected to and so is it autoimmune and it caused severe pain and tummy issues through describe the tummy guy will answer that now so relative to pernicious anemia

so first one is a question about multiple sclerosis what is your thought on stress and multiple sclerosis so what I would say is that with most odd immune diseases what we find is that stress can be an exacerbating Factor when you look at the literature that holds true for many different conditions when it comes to Ms lots of times you'll read will stress may not be a major factor or Diet isn't a major factor but we would say in our clinical experience we disagree substantially any time an individual is under chronic stress just looking at the basic physiology of it you're going to decrease blood flow to the gas...hustle track is putting your body into a state of fight-or-flight ready to fight the line or run from it so to speak and in doing so we know

...in the end you have indicated through your research and response to care that you've been treating it as an autoimmune problem for quite a while now I've been three or four or five have I for at least four I'm thinking the one specific case back to back then so at least for so so share with us the data the new data on further on the fact that it's probably an autoimmune attack against the with certain aspects of your adrenal gland y

sometimes even things that will help you this is our first of the month answering questions session and the questions this month we went over them last night are pretty good they show a lot of thought so we're going to start into these I'm just going to read the questions and then we'll answer them as it hits us as to who should answer them or so the first one what can we do to calm our fight or flight in our brains I grew up with horrific childhood abuse as well as a multitude...dude abusive relationships so yes my brain has a broken brake pedal so somebody's been listening that's what that's for sure I have done meditation sound therapies and doing things that truly excite me

"...you start out with the largest has a lot of people don't realize that the dysbiosis all these things that they're hearing about are a lot of them are are in the and I made a mistake when I said microbiome that's more your that's more to the small intestines but but large intestines the symptoms would be feeling that balance do not empty completely so and within the framework of this entire category there are specifics a lower abdominal pain relief by gas passing store gas means we have a bacterial problem gas is a bacterial problem okay it's the breakdown of bad bacteria you can get a couple gases but if you get if you get a methane gas that's sibo and small that's a small intestinal bacterial overgrowth that can be gas that can be bloating that can be passing large amounts of foul smell you have sir has in large amounts of foul-smelling gas and you get distension after you eat there's a good chance that you might have something called small intestinal bacterial overgrowth that alternating constipation diarrhea and I first and we're treating a case we're looking at the gut and we're like okay 75% of the immune system is in the gut this person has Hashimoto's whatever it is if you have an autoimmune problem which seventy-five percent of the immune system is in they got most of you have mystery diseases you're struggling you can't figure out what's going on in and everything's normal and your doctor's time you have an autoimmune component to your condition okay so so another symptom alternating constipation and diarrhea this is called irritable bowel syndrome okay here will bowel syndrome is our alerts us to the fact that person is probably in a chronic stress response..."

...So today we're going to talk about an unavoidably controversial subject and that is does heavy metals cause autoimmune disease and it's it's and the reason I say that is I do all the intakes here and so I hear the patient's histories and hear what they've been through and Europe told we had a lot of patients that come in here who've been through a ton of heavy metal stuff I had time to get here and nothing happened I have heard the stories of the person's got Mercury out of their mouth and they got better and I've also seen it way more people coming in here with your logical reactions from heavy metals and and and everything in between

... So today we're going to talk about the microbiome and thyroid and so this is a subject that has been dear to our hearts for at least eight years you've been here and before then you know that was a part of where it started to go back in my mentors days dr. cross and who I believe was the first person that really got how much thyroid affected everything so anyway the point is that when we first started doing these videos years ago a lot of people complain that we talk too much about the gut so we're going to talk about the God again today and new data on the guy and the microbiome and how it's so interesting now...

"...So today we're going to talk about Alzheimer's and sleep and more or less the basic concept of what we're going to talk about is Alzheimer's cause sleep problems or do sleep problems cause Alzheimer's kind of we're going to have kind of a chicken or the egg type of a discussion here today and we just saying that dr. Gates depending on someone asked this yesterday and asked me to retrieve a lot of Alzheimer's and according to that one classification system that has like seven stages so probably 90% of our patients be classified as having some stage of Alzheimer's we treat a lot of stress and stress hormones tend to hit something called your hippocampus and you're going to find out a little bit about the hippocampus ..."

...so Alzheimer's is kind of an interesting topic I still keep hearing nobody's found the cause of it yet I'm not sure there is a the cause relative to that and and and then our observation we do a lot of chronic pain that's what we do for those of you haven't seen us we combine functional medicine and functional neurology to create a paradigm to address kind of the cornerstones of physiology that seemed to be the core of what causes chronic conditions chronic pain in general and so if a person comes in here let's say with fibromyalgia it's pretty common that they're going to have brain fog and short term memory loss and and people come in here and there in PTSD
