Background: Hashimoto 's thyroiditis (HT), which causes hypothyroidism, is the most common pathology among autoimmune thyroid disorders (AITDs). In about 20% of patients, AITDs are associated with other organ specific/systemic autoimmune disorders. Currently, the treatment of hypothyroidism is daily intake of synthetic levothyroxine as a replacement therapy. The Remember/Regeneration Therapy Method (RTM) is a novel holistic medicine approach that targets physiopathological changes in quadruplet body structures, and includes various complementary methods such as acupuncture, ozone theapy and phytotherapy, etc. in different combinations which are determined depending on affected diseases.
Case Report: We present a Hashimotos disease case which was serologically diagnosed and successfully healed with the RTM therapy without a significant side effects.
Conclusion: RTM may provide consistent results for HT and similar many diseases by using combinations of various holistic medicine methods in different doses, durations and sessions. The identification of epigenetically regulated genes related with HT may be promising in order to develop epigenetic drugs for disease management. For that purpose, further scientific studies are needed.
