| ... There are a lot of doctor's
out there with their own agenda. But that is in all areas, not just Wilson's
Thyroid Syndrome. Just be careful. Know you are in control. Be educated
about your body and the medical info surrounding treatment offered. As you
know, it is up to you whether or not you accept a doctor or his treatment.
... you need to read
through the doctor's manual first. You will learn soooooooo much you will
be amazed. The back of the manual is the nitty-gritty of treatments (resist
skipping to the back). You need to STUDY the whole manual. Also the patient's
book! The patient's book helps you understand the syndrome more fully
than not having it, and helps you solidify your symptoms, philosophy,
and stand on WTS. The manual is in-depth and absolutely necessary. Once
reading these you will have many questions of your own to ask.
As for the doctor, you
definitely want to know his philosophy on Wilson's Temperature Syndrome. Does
he follow exactly the protocol laid out by Dr. Wilson? Does he use the
T3 recommended (you will learn what kind from the book)? I don't believe
anyone can be confident of their treatment or progress if they do not
read the doctor's manual and patient's book. If you don't study the manual
you are being treated in ignorance - what good does that do you. Those
days are looooong gone. Believe me though, you will have many questions;
ask them.
I recently interviewed
a doc over the phone and decided, right away, not to see him. He did not
follow the protocol and was disappointed in the results (no wonder). He
also did not really even believe there was such a thing as WTS. You can
find out a lot over the phone and not have to hand over your hard earned
money for a disappointing appointment. And don't be intimidated. My doc
is much taller than me and has an arrogant air about him. Seems like he
doesn't have time for questions let alone being in the room with you.
Of course I saw this as a challenge. I politely melted the shell away
and he is the greatest person under there. I commented that he must have
'caught' something in medical school. He said they had given him a lobotomy.
Teehee.
He had never heard of
WTS before and is thrilled. He has written me a letter and called on Sunday
night to discuss it further. He even wrote my primary care physician to
inform him of WTS! So don't be afraid to approach a physician that does
not treat WTS. The manual is all they need to treat you, IF THEY STUDY
IT. So you have to study it to be aware of errors and/or offer 'suggestions'.
Isn't it exciting to see there is treatment out there to help us!!! Thanks
to Dr. Wilson... Sincerely, Blue
