I was first introduced to Wilson's
Thyroid Syndrome approximately 7-8 years ago by a patient who had a number
of problems and who reads profusely. She piqued my interest and I began
researching. I read the Doctor's Manual and have probably at this point
in time, treated well over 500 patients with amazingly good results.
I have found that there are
patients with Wilson's Temperature Syndrome everywhere. I have found them in my own
family practice that I was not previously aware of. I have known for many
years that there was a patient with all the symptoms of hypothyroidism
with normal lab tests. I could never explain it until Dr. Wilson's wonderful
discovery. It now makes so much sense to me.
I absolutely do see a strong
correlation between how well the patients follow the instructions in therapy
and how well they do. I learned a long time ago that you cannot help people
who do not want to help themselves. I'm so busy but as long as the patients
will follow my instructions I will do everything in my power to get them
well.
I have yet to find a patient
with Wilson's Temperature Syndrome who did not have significant allergies.
I have found almost no patients with Wilson's Temperature Syndrome who did
not also have chronic fatigue syndrome.
One frustration has been that
about 5 percent of patients do get symptoms of hyperthyroidism in order
to get their body temperatures normal. The symptoms include rapid pulse
and elevated body temperatures. In these people, what I've done is dropped
to just below the toxic level and stayed there for 6-8 weeks and then
tapered them off. Most of these patients will maintain their normal temperature
as you taper them off. I have had a few patients that I have left on T3
and I have combined this amount to one daily dose because they do so much
better on the sustained T3 than they do on any other method of treatment.
