A Low Body Temperature May Be Causing Many of Your Health Problems

* Do you feel so bad that you know something is wrong with your health, and you need to get it fixed so you can live a normal life?
* Have you been to doctor after doctor, only to be told it's all in your head?
* Your doctor says your blood tests look good, so you must be fine?
* Your doctor wants to give you antidepressants, because he doesn't believe your symptoms are real?
* Or maybe you're suffering from a number of disturbing and baffling symptoms, and your doctor says there's nothing wrong with you and that there's nothing that can be done to help you.
* You may even be wondering about your own sanity, or if everyone with your age and circumstances feels the way that you do.

Body temperature is the foundation of good health. A low body temperature is a strong indication that there is something wrong that can be fixed. Just like a fever (high body temperature) is a good indicator that "something's wrong" and can cause people to feel terrible, so can a low body temperature. A low body temperature is more than enough to explain many health problems, such as: Fatigue, headaches, migraines, PMS, easy weight gain, depression, irritability, fluid retention, anxiety and panic attacks, hair loss, poor memory, poor concentration, low sex drive, unhealthy nails, dry skin and hair, cold intolerance, heat intolerance, low motivation, low ambition, insomnia, allergies, acne, carpal tunnel syndrome, asthma, odd swallowing sensations, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, muscle and joint aches, slow healing, sweating abnormalities, Raynaud's Phenomenon, itchiness, irregular periods, easy bruising, ringing of the ears, flushing, bad breath, dry eyes/blurred vision, and more.

All of our bodily functions are the result of chemical reactions that are catalyzed by enzymes. Without proper enzyme function, the chemical reactions will either take place too sluggishly, or not at all. The function of every enzyme depends on its shape for its activity, and its shape depends on its temperature. That's why it is absolutely criticial to have a normal temperature for good health.

Persistently low temperatures typically come on or worsen after severe stress such as:

Childbirth (#1 cause)
Divorce
Death of a loved one
Job or family stress
Surgery or Accidents

The body slows down, and the body temperature drops in response to the stress and is supposed to recover once the stress is over, but sometimes it doesn't (a condition known as Wilson's Temperature Syndrome, or WTS).

When people's temperatures are low, they often are:

* Overwhelmed
* Feeling at the end of their ropes
* Frustrated about trying product after product to no avail
* About to give up hope
* Sad they can't function normally for their children and spouses
* Outraged that people conclude it's all in their heads
* Realizing that they can't go on the way they are

And often when their temperatures normalize:

* It's as though there was never anything wrong.
* They get their lives back.
* They begin looking forward to living a normal life.
* They're thrilled to be well.
* They're mad that they were sick for so long (and lost so much of their lives) when the problem and solution were so simple.
* They often tell everyone they know who might also be suffering needlessly.

WTS is 5 times more common in women, and it is more common in patients whose ancestors survived famine, such as Irish, American Indian, Scot, Welsh, Russian, and Polish.

It's estimated that at least 30% of Americans suffer complaints due to low temperatures. It's so common that many doctors and patients think it's normal for people to feel that way. They say, "You're just getting older," or, "You're just not getting enough sleep or exercise," or, "You're just under stress." This is compounded by the fact that thyroid blood tests are often completely normal. Doctors can't find anything wrong with you, so they say you're fine. But you KNOW you're not fine. You didn't feel this way before. By the way, Wilson's Temperature Syndrome (WTS) is when people have normal thyroid blood tests but still have symptoms of low body temperatures that improve when the body temperature is normalized. Yes, WTS is extremely common, but fortunately, it can usually be easily corrected.

If left untreated, Wilson's Temperature Syndrome can

1. Sometimes correct itself over a period of months to years
2. Often persist and worsen in stages over a period of decades

Wilson's Temperature Syndrome is often a result of people becoming physically and/or emotionally overwhelmed. Such stress can cause the body temperature to drop and symptoms to develop. The problem can be so severe that the body cannot adapt under the current circumstances and recover a normal temperature with no symptoms.

The first thing patients with WTS can try is changing their current conditions. Anything that can enhance patients' physical or emotional well-being has a chance of turning their WTS around.

Here are a few examples:

* Eliminate as much physical, and emotional stress as possible
* Moderate exercise for 12-15 minutes, 2 - 4 times/day (especially about 30 minutes after meals)
* Small frequent meals (on the order of 6/day) that are high in protein, and low in carbohydrate
* Avoid wheat and refined sugar products
* Get plenty of rest
* Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water

More severe cases of Wilson's Syndrome may require the WT3 protocol to bring the temperature up and correct the symptoms. Getting the body temperature up is the one thing that has an excellent chance of helping almost all bodily functions. The body temperature is the one factor that can affect virtually every chemical reaction in the body. Currently, the most reliable way to reset the body temperature is with the Wilson's T3 protocol.

WTS appears to be due to a bogging down of the thyroid system due to impaired T4 to T3 conversion. This bogging down of the thyroid system appears to be perpetuated by RT3 in the tissues, as well as perhaps other factors. Once the system is bogged down, it appears that backlogged raw thyroid hormone (T4) can also adversely compete with the active thyroid hormone (T3). Even though T4 is the source of T3, if it's not being converted well it can actually be a significant hindrance!

Wilson's T3 protocol is aimed at depleting RT3 levels in the tissues of the body, for a time. This is accomplished by reducing T4, its only source. T4 is reduced by reducing TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone). TSH is reduced by giving patients pure T3 directly.

When patients are given pure T3 directly, their bodies sense that they are getting enough thyroid stimulation so they reduce their own production of thyroid hormones.

The purpose of the treatment is not so much to give patients' thyroid glands a rest (although that does happen), as it is to clear RT3 (by clearing T4) out of the tissues so that their thyroid systems can get de-bogged, cleaned out, and reset. This appears to be what enables the patients' thyroid systems to function well on their own again. Wilson's T3 therapy does not need to be taken for life, rather usually only a few weeks or months.

Fortunately, if the T3 therapy is given properly, patients can often feel terrifically well even while their thyroid systems are on the way to recovery! The keys to the WT3 protocol are:

* The right kind of T3 medicine
* Given in the right way
* To provide a normal and steady body temperature during treatment so the patients can feel better with minimal side effects, if any.

"The right kind of thyroid medicine" means that T3 is best tolerated when well-prepared with a sustained release agent. The T3 is compounded (made by pharmacists) into capsules that are designed to be taken twice a day, every 12 hours, very much on time (not even a few minutes late). The T3 capsules must be prescribed by a doctor.

"Given in the right way" means that if Wilson's Temperature Treatment is not done properly patients can waste a lot of time and money (on visits and medicine) without even knowing it. The term Wilson's T3 protocol or WT3 protocol is used to distinguish it from other ways doctors give T3 medicine.

Since Dr. Wilson began emphasizing the importance of T3 medicine over T4, many doctors have started using T3 medicine. However, achieving the benefits of T3 therapy is not just a matter of taking T3, but a matter of taking T3 properly. It's like driving a car. To get where you want to go, it's not just a matter of getting in the car and driving, but you must make the correct turns, at the correct times, and under the correct circumstances.

A lot of mistakes, frustration, guess work, worrying and perhaps even severe side effects can usually be easily avoided with good information.

You can make sure that you and your doctor are doing the treatment properly by making sure it adheres to the T3 treatment principles explained in the Doctor's Manual. Education is the key. Reading the Doctor's Manual will enable you and your doctor to get the best results and quickest response at the least expense, by doing the treatment right the first time. It can't be done by guessing.

WTSmed Supplements are an assortment of treatments that are oriented toward correcting symptoms rather than just controlling them. They are made up of natural substances such as herbs, vitamins, and minerals, and many are available without a prescription.

Many compounds within a given plant can work together to help restore certain organ functions. Consequently, whole plants are put into WTSmed Supplements.

Restoring health often requires a particular combination of herbs taken in different quantities at the same time. WTSmed Supplements have been formulated in such a way that each bottle could be considered a complete herbal kit unto itself (many WTSmed Supplements contain a combination of 5 or more herbs).

Different organ systems (circulatory system, respiratory system, digestive system) carry out different body functions, and different herbs can help different organ systems. In other words, the functions of the body are organized by organ systems, and the herbs that benefit the functions of the body also seem to be organized by organ system (not just symptom).

For example, there's an herb that can correct both low heart rate and high heart rate. Another herb can help the digestive system with several different illnesses (acid reflux, Chron's disease, and Ulcerative Colitis). Another herb can help with more than one liver condition. In addition, some herbs can also help more than one organ system at a time.

Unlike drugs that are typically aimed at single symptoms (anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory, anti-diarrhea, etc.), herbs tend to restore specific organs and/or organ systems.

The healing powers are actually in the plants themselves and the secrets are knowing which plants to use together. If your body is lacking something it needs to recover then it makes sense that it would come from plants because all your food comes directly or indirectly from plants.

Herbs are ideal and specialized packages of nutrition, each of which contains a specific combination of dozens and dozens of compounds.

WTSmed Supplements are:

* Expertly formulated by a former Endocrinology Professor of Naturopathic Medicine
* Certified Organic
* Made from the most effective parts of the plants
* Environmentally grown and ethically wildcrafted (when collected from natural habitats)

Herbs can have medicinal effects on the body. Herbs have been used for centuries, and were the medicines doctors and pharmacists used before patented drugs came along. Many prescription drugs on the market today still have as their primary ingredient compounds extracted from plants.
