I have lost over 50 pounds
Dear Friends,

Many times, people visit our web site and they wish that there was a live person with whom they could discuss the WTSmed Supplements, the WT3 protocol, and their health.

Well now there is. His name is Khumpani O'Hara and he's a Medical Herbalist on our staff.

If you have questions that you'd like to ask a real person then you can call 800-621-7006 for a phone consultation with Khumpani (fee to cover costs is $1/min). Available hours are 9am - 5pm, EST, Monday through Thursday.

This service is intended to provide general information and education over the phone on the WTSmed Supplements, the WT3 protocol, and health and wellness, but we are not allowed to diagnose conditions or diseases over the phone, or to prescribe or treat, in any way, individual cases.

Best regards,
Denis Wilson, MD

I suffered from nearly ALL the symptoms after the birth of our 5th child in 2001. My thyroid seemed to just give up on me since I had four of our five [children] in four years! I was losing weight after the birth of our fifth child for about three months, and then suddenly gained over 40 pounds in 4 weeks! I knew something wrong was going on! Not to mention the sudden onslaught of nearly all the symptoms you have listed on this site. I thought I was going insane and three different doctors told me I was just depressed, that was why I had all these symptoms. Thank God I did not give up and found your site online while searching for an answer! I did several rounds of T3 before I got better and could function normally again. I have lost over 50 pounds, I have energy and not so many ailments. It is wonderful! Thank you for your wonderful work!! I tell everyone about it!

I took the T3 therapy to get my temperature up; I now continue to keep it up with the Thyrocare. I am very pleased. I have been sick lately and my temperature dropped a whole degree, but now that I have recovered my temp is back to 98.6. I don't think that it would stay or recover without the ThyroCare. Thank you very much for such a wonderful product.

My husband is going to be tested for Myasthenia Gravis this next week. He has always had a low body temperature and suffers from RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome), and esophageal spasms. He has lots of fatigue and tiredness when he tries to exert himself. Could Myasthenia Gravis be caused by a low body temperature? And could T3 treatment possibly help it if my husband does have it?

Dear Ramona,

I have not heard of a patient with Myasthenia Gravis being treated with T3 therefore I don't know how great a role body temperature plays in the progression of MG, if any. I have seen a lot of conditions respond that I had not known could be affected by body temperature problems (for example, migraines and panic attacks). These experiences have left me with the feeling that a lot of things are possible. I am sure of one thing, that medical problems that stress the body can throw the body into Wilson's Syndrome and low body temperatures with a worsening or compounding of symptoms. So people with symptoms consistent with low body temperatures who have low body temperatures might certainly improve with a normalization of their body temperatures through T3 therapy.

Best wishes,

Have been wondering about the effect of the environment on temperature. For example, I have been on a boat which was breezy and cold twice in the past few months when it is temperature taking time. Both times my temperature was low.

Also, with winter weather & drafty rooms, my feet will be cold and at times I have had to put a coat around my shoulders or my feet. Sometimes my temp is low and sometimes when I have cold feet and hands it is surprisingly in a "normal" range.

Your information will be most appreciated.

Dear LaRee,

People with WTS have trouble maintaining a normal body temperature when the ambient temperature (the temperature around them) is normal. It stands to reason that they would have even more trouble maintaining their temperatures when the ambient temperature is lower.

Of course, clothes work to help people stay warm.

And, constricting vessels in the hands and feet help people stay warm also. Our bodies tend to reduce the amount of blood flowing to our extremities in cold environments, trying to keep the vital organs in the core of the body warm.

Thus, if a person's in cold weather and his or her body and clothing is not doing the job then he or she could have a lower body temperature. On the other hand, a person's body could be doing the job of keeping the core warm, by letting the hands and feet get a little cold.

As you can see there are a number of factors at work.

Cheers,
Denis Wilson, MD  
 
     
 
 
I have gone through 3 cycles of WTS therapy and had maintained a 98.6 temp until recently and am back down to 98.0 or 98.2. My Nurse Practitioner said I might not have true Wilsons but may have to be on a low dose of thyroid med for life. I had not read about this in your book and wondered if I missed it and if you could direct me to chapter or page numbers on this. I have been suffering for 15 years with these symptoms. At first they were annoying and then the 2-3 months before and first 6 weeks of treatment I was bed-ridden. I have not been able to work for 3 years. I have seen much improvement but still want to feel good, not just better. I take ThyroCare, Thyroid PX, Adaptogen and a good multi-vitamin. Should I possibly start another cycle or just take low dose for life?

Thank you,
Jennifer  
 
     
 

Dear Jennifer,

When a person's temperature drops back down after successful WT3 therapy I'm led to wonder about several possibilities.

Does the person have a genetic predisposition to having a low body temperature? Do low temperatures tend to run in their family? Are they part Irish or part American Indian? Did their ancestors survive famine? Patients with a tendency toward low temperatures might be well served with a little T3 for life, as a preventative.

Does the person have some other undetected medical problem that is stressing the body such as lyme disease, or a toxic metal load? If so, detecting and correcting the underlying problem, if possible, would be great.

Is the person under the same amount of outside personal life stress that seemed to bring on the Wilson's Syndrome in the first place? The same stress that can provoke WTS is the same stress that can provoke a relapse.

Hope that helps,
Denis Wilson, MD
