I have been treating Wilson's Temperature Syndrome for almost 7 years now, and it has become an increasingly significant
part of my practice. When I first started, I used cytomel, but found that
in its usual form it gave variable results. For some time now I've used
exclusively compounded long-acting T3 with much better improvement. I
have found a significant percentage of patients with fibromyalgia and
chronic fatigue (I'd estimate at 50%) have Wilson's Temperature Syndrome and
respond dramatically to treatment.
I have also noted that the
better informed the patient is, the better the results and the easier
it is to treat them. I encourage all to read Dr. Wilson's book and many
have read the Physician's Manual as well. While not everyone who comes
to me gets treated for Wilson's Temperature Syndrome (some never took their
temperatures and when they do, their symptoms are not compatible with
thryoid deficiency), the vast majority do get treated as a component of
a program that reflects their needs.
Other concurrent deficiencies
which I measure and treat which are very common with Wilson's Temperature
Syndrome, include magnesium deficiency, estrogen and progesterone deficiency,
B-12 deficiency, chronic candidiasis, food allergy, and mercury toxicity.
I have treated hundreds and hundreds of patients who have normal thryoid
blood tests and low tempertures, and it is my impression, that without
thyroid supplementation as outlined by Dr. Wilson, most of them would
have remained ill for years.
There is no question in my
mind that Dr. Wilson has identified a significant metabolic problem (mostly
unrecognized by conventional physicians) and that by treating it, we have
alleviated a great deal of suffering.
