As your question implies, exophthalmos is usually considered irreversible. However, I have heard of a case of exophthalmos improving in a patient taking ThyroCalm Px. I would not suggest anyone getting their hopes up but I would recommend that doctors and patients consider ThyroCalm Px. Doctors can call 800-420-5801 to make appointments to discuss patient cases with a physician.

It appears that exophthalmos due to thyroid disease is due to autoimmune inflammation and swelling of the tissues (fat and muscle) behind the eye, inside the orbit. The enlarging tissues cause the eye to bulge out of its socket.++

That's a good question. I believe that the human body is a very complex and adaptive system that can function with almost infinite combinations of parameters. For example, we can drive a car with many different combinations of parameters. For example, the passenger window can be down, the radio on, the speaker balance to the left, in 2nd gear, traveling at 45 miles per hour, with the seat reclined and a cup in the cupholder. It might not be good for the car to drive 45 miles an hour in 2nd gear, but maybe it can't get into 3rd gear, or perhaps the driver isn't putting it into 3rd gear for some reason. It might not be a problem for the window to be down unless it starts raining or unless someone in the back seat isn't appreciating all the wind. When is it a real problem? When the window is down and it starts raining, or when the window's broken and we can't roll it up?

My point is, what constitutes a disease? Is it when there is a certain unfavorable combination of functional parameters? Or is it when that combination of parameters can't be corrected? Or is it when it can be corrected by only one approach?

As I mentioned before, I believe there is an almost infinite combination of functional parameters in the human body. I also believe that there is a lot of inertia in the human body and that once the body is functioning in a certain pattern of functional parameters it tends to stay in that pattern. I believe there is a lot of overlap between various combinations of parameters. I also believe that unfavorable combinations of parameters can potentially respond to more than one approach because the systems (or parameters if you will) of the body are interdependent.

So I believe that there are a lot of combinations of parameters that overlap to some degree and that could be called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, or Wilson's Temperature Syndrome. I do know that many people that have been told that they have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia have responded beautifully when their low body temperatures have been normalized with the WT3 protocol and / or WTS Supplements. Does that mean they really didn't have CFS or Fibromyalgia? Does that mean that CFS and Fibromyalgia are really WTS? Does that mean they were misdiagnosed?

I don't think everyone that has been diagnosed with CFS or Fibromyalgia has a low temperature, and even the ones that do might not all respond well to the WT3 protocol and/or WTS Supplements. Some of the patients that do respond well to normalization of body temperatures with the WT3 protocol might also respond well to other treatment approaches as well.

I hope that begins to answer your question. I think the answer really depends on how we define disease which can be a little difficult considering how complex the body is. I think it's hard for a 7 letter word like "disease" to adequately cover the actual complexity of the situation, especially to everyone's satisfaction or agreement. To me, we use words out of practicality to help people recover.

From that standpoint, perhaps the best answer is that people diagnosed with CFS and Fibromyalgia can often recover when their temperatures are raised to normal, but not all people diagnosed with CFS and Fibromyalgia will respond well to the WT3 protocol and/or WTS supplements.

Dear Marty,

Many patients who have been treated for Graves' disease with radiation continue to feel poorly even though they are on thyroid medicine and their thyroid tests are normal. Their tests might be normal but their temperatures might be low. They can continue feeling bad for years even though they felt well before the Graves'. Many of those patients will respond well to the WT3 protocol. Granted, they may need to stay on some thyroid medicine for the rest of their lives but after being recalibrated with the WT3 protocol (for a time) they might be able to maintain normal temperatures on regular thyroid medicine and that can make all the difference. Or for that matter, T3 can continue being a part of their thyroid regimen either continuously or intermittently.

Best wishes,
