Is it possible to have a nodule along with the WTS?
Yes, is is possible to have WTS along with a nodule.

Could the nodule cause some of the same symptoms?
In my mind, the symptoms result from low body temperatures. Can nodules cause low body temperatures? Can nodules result in decreased thyroid hormone production? I guess that's possible. Though I would tend to think more that the same processes that can disrupt normal thyroid health such that nodules form, might also disrupt the health to the point that temperatures drop. Some thyroid nodules are known to increase thyroid hormone production but they are usually thought of as decreasing thyroid hormone production.

And can the Certified WTS Physicians also treat the thyroid nodules?
There are natural supplements that Certified WTS Physicians can use to promote thyroid health. Thyroid nodules sometimes go away on their own, and they can also improve when people are taking thyroid health promoting supplements (though sometimes they don't). I know if I had a thyroid nodule I would certainly take the thyroid health promoting supplements and hope for improvement. However, Certified WTS Physicians normally focus on correcting low temperatures and symptoms more than the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of nodules. As you know, a very small percentage of thyroid nodules are cancerous and it is sometimes difficult to determine which ones are and which ones aren't. Some patients and doctors don't worry very much about thyroid nodules because the chances of malignancy are so small. On the other hand, some do worry because there is always that chance and sometimes the only way to find out is to surgically remove the nodule and have it analyzed. Certified WTS Physicians aren't normally involved in that pursuit.

Yes, I'd say there is a possibility.

Trigeminal neuralgia is a diagnosis given to people who have intense facial shooting pain in the distribution of the facial nerve.

I have seen pain (like carpal tunnel syndrome), that appears to be involving nerves, disappear when the body temperature was normalized.

I believe the improvement was due to decreased fluid retention of the tissues near the tight bony passages through which the nerves are passing.

Hope that helps,

Hi Lynn,

There is a lot about the human body that is not known. Maybe the function of the parathyroid gland is more related to the function of the thyroid gland than we know. Nevertheless, the parathyroid gland is not thought to have a lot to do with thyroid function. The parathyroid gland is critical in maintaining calcium levels in the blood. The proper regulation of calcium is important with regard to the maintenance of bones as well as the function of muscles and nerves.

Normally, the parathyroid gland becomes overactive due to a tumor which must be removed surgically.

Warmly,
Denis Wilson, MD
