Hashimoto's & EBV Protocols
If possible, find medical providers who are willing to work in tandem with each other (i.e. western medicine doctor & naturopathic doctor).
Utilize all available resources - don’t try to recreate the wheel. Talk to people who have these diagnoses and are effectively managing them.
Believe that you can and will and must heal! Use positive thinking!
Medications:
Levothyroxine & Liothyronine - excellent duo to help get thyroid hormone levels into optimum range if you are hypothyroid.
Low-Dose Naltrexone - Modulates your immune system to suppress chronic inflammation which leads to improved immune function and reduced pain and fatigue.
Bloodwork and labs- every 2-3 months when trying new medications. A tweak here or there can make a huge difference!
Supplements:
Selenium 200mcg 1x daily
Lysine!
Zinc
Methylated B12
Vitamin D3/K2 - better absorption
Magnesium
Quercetin for breathing issues
NAC
Vitamin C - high dose
Glutathione (better absorption through IV)
Naturopathic:
IV infusions - Myer’s cocktail
Glutathione
High dose vitamin C
Hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy - high oxygenated environment helps heal damaged tissue
Food:

Daily smoothie: Organic wild blueberries, banana, dark tart cherries, almond milk, plant based whey protein powder
Reduce soda consumption
Try AIP diet if curious about food sensitivities
