It took 6 years for me to get proper treatment due to the fact that my doctors in allopathic medicine were not informed about Wilson's syndrome. Whenever I went to the doctor's, my temperatures registered much lower than normal, sometimes 2 degrees below normal, and the nurse's aide just brushed it off, saying something like "Oh, temperatures can really vary a lot." My blood pressure was low normal as well, and it was dismissed as a good thing, what with so many people having problems with high blood pressure. It wasn't until I hit upon the 3 magic words of being "cold, constipated, and fatigued" at one visit that I got tested and, sure enough, my TSH was elevated. Unfortunately, though, I just got the one-size-fits-all treatment: Synthroid. It is becoming known in some circles that this treatment can actually make patients with Wilson's syndrome worse, and that was the case with me. It wasn't until I found a naturopathic doctor, Dr. Dean Neary, in Washington state, that I started proper treatment a year ago. The protocol took 6 months to do 2 cycles, but it was worth it. I really can say that I got my life back. Judy

I've had really good results with the StressCalm Px, we check the adrenal glands quite frequently. Many people in their 50's have an issue with their adrenal glands in either over producing or under producing cortisol, and the StressCalm Px has worked really well. We use it a lot and I would definitely recommend it. Dr. Dennis Godby, NMD Sacramento, CA 916-446-2591

What is the relationship between adrenals and histamine reactivity? My allergies get triggered at seemingly random circumstances. I DO have Wilson's Syndrome and am taking Adaptogen. I know this is a process; my digestion and allergies are way off. Understanding this relationship between the endocrine system and histamine reaction would be VERY helpful.

Low body temperatures can definitely contribute to worsening allergic / histamine complaints.
Many people notice their allergies improve (or completely resolve) when their body temperatures are normalized.
Thyroid and adrenal function definitely affect one another. Cortisol from the body or from shots, can contribute to the body falling into a low thyroid state, leading to low body temperatures. Conversely, when the thyroid system is not maintaining temperatures well, the adrenal system can become overworked compensating for the diminished thyroid function. Thus, low temperatures can lead to low adrenal function and increased allergy symptoms. Thus, some people feel that allergy symptoms can be due to low adrenal function.
Adrenal support probably can help allergic complaints improve in some, but I'm sure that people with adequate adrenal function can still have allergic complaints due to low body temperatures. Often, low body temperatures respond well to thyroid support and / or the WT3 protocol. Adrenal support can help people tolerate the WT3 protocol more easily.
So yes, the adrenal and thyroid systems are closely intertwined and can be important tools in helping normalize body temperatures which can have a big impact on allergic complaints.
Best of luck with that,

Could you explain if supplementary cortisol (Cortef) creates a problem for the Wilson's protocol? I have had cortisol saliva tests indicating that I am low in cortisol production, and amongst other things cortisol (10mg) is recommended for about 3 months to build the adrenal reserves. Dr Wilson says that cortisol initiates a greater conversion of T4 into RT3, and I would like to know if it would interfere with the Wilson's protocol. In the Basic Guidelines it indicates that steroids (Cortef) and asthma inhaled steroids will interfere with the program. Please can you explain why this is true, and to what degree it interferes? For example could someone that is on cortisol try the program, not get an increase in temperature and conclude that the WT3 protocol does not work, but it is because she is on the steroids? In this case would it be better to give the adrenals some support for 2-3 months and then shift to an herbal adrenal support or glandular while cycling on the T3? Thanks so much for all the information shared. Dean

Hello Dean,
10 mg of Cortef probably wouldn't be enough to interfere with the WT3 protocol in some people, but it probably would be enough to interfere with the WT3 protocol in others. There can be large variations between different people in these matters.
Small amounts of adrenal support (even Cortef) can help some people tolerate the WT3 protocol, while larger amounts might interfere with the WT3 protocol.
Sometimes, people's adrenal reserves and adrenal function improve tremendously just by correcting their body temperatures with thyroid support or the WT3 protocol. It may be that by correcting the thyroid system the adrenal system doesn't have to work as hard as backup in those cases.
On the other hand, some people with adrenal fatigue don't tolerate the WT3 protocol very well. It depends on the individual.
Some people might feel very rejuvenated and refreshed by 2-3 months of Cortef. On the other hand, some people might not...they might feel a little worse, since their temperatures are still low...and perhaps a little lower due to the Cortef.
Thus, some people could try thyroid supplementation first, and then add adrenal; some could try adrenal supplementation first and then add thyroid; some could try both at the same time.
The plan you mention of being on Cortef for 2-3 months and then shifting to an herbal adrenal support while cycling on the T3, I'm sure would be a very good plan for some patients.
Warmly,
Denis Wilson, MD

I have hypothyroidism and have been taking synthroid. However, my temperature has been subnormal. I have mentioned to my doctor so many times about the sub-normality of temperature, but he has ignored it. Now, I have developed skin problems -- skin eruptions, which have not gone away for nine months, inspite of my visiting numerous dermatologists. I wonder, if it could be WTS, and whether I would benefit from your therapy. I am 60+. Best regards, HN

Yes HN,
Your symptoms could very well be due to your low temperatures and WT3 could very well normalize your temperatures when Synthroid has not.
Best regards,
