DOCTOR REVEALS How She Cured Her Autoimmune DISEASE! | Cynthia Li & Mark Hyman

Get my top tips for optimal health and vitality: bit.ly/MarksPicks
Think about how different our medical system would be if all doctors were required to have an extreme health crisis before practicing medicine. It’s through those toughest times with our own health that many of us turn to Functional Medicine, as we realize conventional care isn’t getting us what we need. But sometimes, being so involved in treating others’ diseases makes it difficult for doctors to even see our own symptoms for what they really are. This week’s guest on The Doctor’s Farmacy, Dr. Cynthia Li, is here to share her personal journey through autoimmunity and realizing her symptoms had deeper meaning.
Dr. Li received her medical degree from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. She’s practiced as an internist in many settings, including Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, San Francisco General Hospital, and St. Anthony Medical Clinic serving the homeless. She currently has a private practice in Berkeley, CA and recently published her first book which I highly recommend, Brave New Medicine: A Doctor's Unconventional Path to Healing Her Autoimmune Illness.
This episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy is brought to you by Thrive Market and by SomniFix.
Thrive Market has made it so easy for me to stay healthy, even with my intense travel schedule. I never let myself get into a food emergency. Instead, I always carry enough food with me when I’m on the go, for at least a full day. I order real, whole foods online from Thrive Market. Right now, Thrive is offering all Doctor’s Farmacy listeners a great deal: you will receive an extra 25% off your first purchase plus a free 30-day membership to Thrive.

Most of us aren’t getting our best rest. But there is actually a proven solution I’ve found for getting high-quality rest, simply by helping you breathe through your nose instead of your mouth. They’re called SomniFix Strips.

okay to save time, she tried to get more sleep, changed her diet by studying her ancestral diet, which led her to cut out most gluten, and that made a major impact. she did detoxes which removed toxins from air pollution, . she slowly weaned off thyroid meds over 14 years, and she studied her estrogen and progesterone levels , then slowly weaned off those hormone replacement drugs as the sleep and diet improvements made a positive impact. also she had a witchdoctor or some clairvoyant come into her house to burn smudge sticks of Southwestern US Native Indian sage and herbs around her home to rid the house of negative energy from the previous home owner. she didnt see that one coming,. she didnt in believe any of it but it opened her mind to think positively and to work on a positive healthy mindset. went to some functional medicine conferences and gradually over a decade , everything worked out and healed her.

I am 67 and was insulted so many times by regular medicine. I found out I had autoimmune disease by my own research and 30 years down the road I have a great functional doctor. I rely on intuition all the time, my “gut feeling”. I use my community for local organic food and have a garden. I process my own flour, nut milks and on and on. I still have bouts where my body is attacked with debilitating symptoms but I believe it is from the vaccines I had to take to be in the medical field. Being awake to the times gives you great insight and knowing companies have poisoned us for years. Good food, sleep, exercise, supplements, digestive enzymes, no stress and faith in God is a good start to recovery. Our world is changing and we need to open our eyes to the possibilities set before us. I woke up years ago and believe we have knowledge that will be revealed to us soon.

Let food be your medicine! Do yourself a big favor and read up on medicinal mushrooms and first milking colostrum. They help immensely to heal and regenerate your entire body and all it's organs if taken on a daily basis in sufficient, therapeutic amounts. I've been on these for years and they have worked wonders for me. Do your best to avoid all forms of corn and corn starch, soy, wheat, vegetable oil (corn, safflower, canola, soybean, sunflower, etc.), red meat/dairy (except for grass fed) and of course refined sugar/junk/fast food. It's all about prevention of disease rather than treating or masking symptoms with modern drugs. Best of luck and health to you.

True! Going to doctors for chronic illness is same as inviting more severe disease. They don’t have common sense or the ability to apply the medical knowledge.

We are difficult patients, or lots of us are. The problem is that the doctors are the reason we become difficult patients. When doctors contradict each other and say things that are completely incoherant or irrelevant we can do nothing other than say "hang on doctor that doesn't make sense". They are incapable of accepting the validity of our remarks and they don't like us questioning their opinion. For many of us our lives are falling appart around us and doctors refusing facts because they don't understand them is very frustrating. Our frustration is legitimate and doctors should take this into consideration and not presume that the frustration is just because we are weak minded hense all are problems are psychological. When you've seen enough docrors who are all too happy to accept that it's all in your head your friends and familly find it very difficult to not believe them. After all they are doctors and they are supposed to know what is going on. It most certainly is tragic, and i hope you find the answers that you are in so much need of.

This is my story. After more than 15 years of trying to figure out what was wrong with my body, I ended up with a Psychiatrist telling me that I had Clinical Depression. I explained to him that if I had Clinical Depression why do I still have goals? People with depression lose hope. That was not me. I just wanted my body to help me achieve, and my body was tired and in pain, so that was frustrating me. I explained that my body is making me get frustrated, and that leads to depression. He wouldn't listen to me. A couple of times he even dozed off in front of me...like sorry for boring you sir. He waived me off and just handed me the slip for the next appointment. I have found my own remedies, and today, I own my own wellness clinic specializing in massage. I see many people who are this same position, and I am happy to fast track them to wellness.

I wanted to briefly share how I got my Hashimoto's thyroiditis in remission. 3 years ago I got a infection in pancreas which cause me to be nauseous so I didn't eat for 9 days (basically fasting, however definitely not planned) but tried to keep up my fluid intake. It just happened that when I recovered I needed to have my labs drawn and my doctor was so surprised because my labs reflected 90% remission of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Asked all kinds of questions and once found out I hadn't eaten for 9 days, only had fluids asked if would wait 6 months and do another long fast (5-9 days) and see if we would get it in complete remission. That is exactly what happened after the second fast and now 3 years later, I am still in remission from Hashimoto's thyroiditis. :)

[@petvuk]

wow, very impressive :) Did you have only antibodies for Hashimoto or also low t3/t4, and had to take hormones? and now dont?

[@karmareadingz]

Did you have to take in special foods after the fasting?

[@shannijones4587]

that's amazing! congratulations!

[@beardseiibeard2812]

Sometimes the T3 T4 was out of balance and sometimes spot on. Antibodies were for Hashimoto was always high until I did the 9 day fast and by the 2nd time (6 month later) no more. I had my immune system chinking away at my thyroid for 35 years, so it will take some time to have it recover/regenerate and we are working on that. After the fast, to break the fast (especially since this was a longer fast) I would break it with bone broth and after an hour or so, depending on how I felt, I would have half of an avocado and wait and see how my gut was doing and slowly introduce different food again. Also before the bone broth I would take ion biome on empty stomach to restore gut balance. Dr. Mindy Pelz is a wealth of information on fasting, especially for women (find her on youtube)

From my experience: if you have a chronic condition, read as much as possible about it in legitimate scientifically validated sites. Observe your symptoms and keep a notebooks and record everything you do, eat and frequency of your symptoms. NO doctor however skilled can replace your observations. However for urgent need go to UC or ER. Above all follow a healthy lifestyle including proper diet, exercise, meditation and take things easy. After all we are all rushing towards death- so what’s the hurry? Why waste your hard earned money on a ignorant doctors and a shockingly crappy health care system?

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for sharing your journeys with us. ❤ To simply get validated is a gift in itself! I've been through some very LOW lows with a multitude of symptoms that isolated me in my house, exhausted and confused. I feel I'm now in the phase of DETOX while being on a whole food, organic where possible, dairy free, gluten free diet, eating all my food within an 8-hr period. I wish i knew what was in Dr. Hyman's "gut shake," but I think i can guess from the things he shared. My cupboards are nearly bare! I used to think that was a sign of poverty. Now i see it as a sign of knowing its best to get things as fresh as possible from the store rather than keeping preservative-laden things on the shelf. I now don't buy anything with a long list of ingredients. And nothing with "added sugars." The one thing i didn't hear about was the use of epsom salt baths to help with detox. I've found them to be soothing. I wish they'd discussed about how to get rid of heavy metals or where to go to get tested for that. In any case, I wish you all much good health very soon!!! ❤

As she saw me getting better and better she started learning natural medicine. She was wonderful, supportive and life changing in my healing. I’ve got a great doctor ❤️. The doctor prior to her, when I was noticing little symptoms here and there but didn’t know it was autoimmune, she told me “you’re young, you’re thin, you’re fine. It’s all in your mind”.

After 17 days hospitalized and receiving the strongest antibiotics ever, he did not improved. I recommend the drainage because it was clear that his system was clogged and was just transporting garbage up and down all day long without having the capacity to clear itself and the body from harming crap. And of course, could not transport the antibiotic to the needed places. He did and a little later he was running like a kid and he is big man! How could he forgot what lymphatic system is about?

It was finally a homeopathic doctor that was able to educate me of the cascade effect of the food I was eating and stressful lifestyle I was living (Lean Cuisine was a "healty meal" and running 8-10 miles per day on the treadmill followed by an hour of heavy weight lifting FOR YEARS). I thought I was "so on top of things" and boy was I wrong. After years of coming to terms with my food sensitivities and hormone imbalances, I'm finally starting to recover. After gaining 85 pounds due to exercise intolerance and overall fatigue (and depression) I'm about 75% back to a healthy body.

And, I do believe that doctors perpetuating chronic illness by telling patients that they will be taking their meds for the rest of their lives and not giving them the hope that they could possibly heal themselves by other means.

I get this 100%. I had "chronic fatigue." Went to UofWashington, Virginia Mason, Centur Wellness Clinic. It wasn't until I went to Dr. Jacob Titelbaum in Maryland (I'm from Montana) and he educated me in so many supplements and told me when I return home find a good naturopath (I found the best) because no regular doctor will have a clue what you're going through. He finally allowed me to have Armour thyroid which cleared me out of a fog. He made sure I was up on D3/K2. He got my iron up to speed. It's been a lifelong journey. But I know when to go to an allopath (and very rarely go) vs. a naturopath. This was very interesting.

Let food be your medicine! Read up on medicinal mushrooms and first milking colostrum. They help immensely to heal and regenerate the entire body and all it's organs if taken on a daily basis in sufficient, therapeutic amounts. Colostrum is especially important for anyone with a weakened or compromised immune system. Do your best to avoid all forms of corn and corn starch, soy, wheat, vegetable oil (corn, safflower, canola, soybean, sunflower, etc.), red meat/dairy (except for grass fed) and of course refined sugar and junk/fast food. It's all about prevention of disease rather than treating or masking symptoms with modern drugs. Best of luck and health to you.

[@latinaalma1947]

I wonder if I will ever encounter a physician who says this to me? They know I am an academic, clinical, and research psychologist with 20 plus years experience, they wouldn't dare! I was just diagnosed with hypothyroidism due to low TSH levels. The diagnosis is always confirmed in lab work, not just symptoms in traditional medicine. This is for insurance coding and billing purposes. We have the same paradigm in clinical psychological practice. Am on thyroid meds. I think this started with a meal in a Houston Chinese restaurant in the late 1980s. Dont remember what I ate. I was 40, dizzy, so dizzy I was throwing up. After a month, I had a MRI to check for brain tumor. I have have had balance issues ever since 30 yrs. FInally after four mos wearing scopalomine patches my vertigo eased up. I had had chicken pox in my childhood. Later in my 60s, Shingles appeared, treating with aycyclovir. I had dental issues took two courses of antibiotics killed all my gold gut bacteria, got systemic candida. Treating that with Fluconazol. Some functional medicine pratitioners have studied thousands of medical studies and found that three common factors were in most thyroid patients a viral infection, followed later, sometimes years later by vertigo, tiredness etc.,. Then high stress becomes a trigger. Finally gluten and sometimes dairy sensitivity. That fits my path. I am certain I have had chronic low level hypothyroidism. The causes were multiple. THe management is multiple.....I have inflammation of nerves with numb feet, cold hands and feet, muscle tiredness and weakness, it is believed the cerebellum in the lower back of the brain is inflammed infectiong balance etc. I have periodic brain fog...my intellect when not exhausted and inflammed, is not affected, not my long term memory. My short term memory IS affected when I am inflammed but not,when I am not inflamed. I am not depressed , I was mystified and curious, not,happy about symptoms but otherwise happy in my life. I know everything has a cause. I was eating a very healthy high plant medium protein diet, low sugar, low gluten diet. Now I know that isnt enough for ME at THIS stage I must have NO sugar, substitutes, or gluten. SO this is a journey for me now my body needs more protein, red meats as I was anemic . More spinach, folic acid supplementation. Zero gluten. Zero sugar.

I was diagnosed wit fibromyalgia after 2 decades of fatigue, pain, brain fog, IBS, insomnia etc. Anyway, one year I removed gluten and all the symptoms lifted. Then removed dairy, processed foods or junk. Today I'm plant based. Of course- no 'doctor' to this point helped. Anyway, the results to date have been fabulous. Adding 'grounding' daily with outdoor movement such as walking or mountain biking and letting in sunlight has also helped remarkably. I chose to not get the recent medicine too due to knowing my body and not trusting modern medicine. Dodged a bullet there for sure ;) Inflammation and autoimmune issues is a modern disease and now sadly more common now post C&&ID medicine. Thanks for sharing your journeys.

[@skatulle]

I went through the same experience as Dr. Li. after the birth of my child , i got thyroid disease and it couldnt be diagnosed for many months in traditional medicine. It wasnt until my neck had protruded and swollen , and i started getting these heat attacks, that i was taken seriously. As is the trend here in Kenya, after delivery, one is put on birth control because it is claimed that when a woman is breast feeding, that is when she is most fertile. That worked against me and literally messed up my whole hormonal system. I am lucky to have finally diagnosed Graves Disease, but a close friend of mine died after she gave birth to her baby, because her hyperthyroidism could not be detected. I then founded the Thyroid Disease Awareness Kenya Foundation just to help people learn exactly what is being discussed here. We hope to demistify this myth and empower people to take charge of their own health, by arming them with the right information. So happy right now to hear these two traditional doctors accept the fact that traditional medicine and what they are taught is not always the truth. The body is a very complex combination of systems that so delicately depend on one another, and when one system is off, then the rest of the systems cannot work properly. The endocrine system is the most under emphasized system in the medical world, and yet the most important systems in the body. Like people here will tell you of the digestive system, the reproductive system, but the endocrine system is so foreign. We are working to demistify that.

​@@ralsharp6013 Yes, it's best to avoid the consumption of this oil or any food with sunflower oil due to the fact it is too high in polyunsaturated omega-6 fat and is highly refined and oxidized which greatly contributes to chronic inflammation plus the formation of damaging free radicals in the body. You are much better off eating a small amount of sunflower seed. Avocado, extra virgin olive & coconut oil are much safer and healthier. Grass-fed ghee/butter is also a healthy choice. As for colostrum, it can be taken either directly into the mouth with some water or mixed in food or beverage.
