WTSmed Supplements Success Stories

Success Story:

Hi: Been taking Thyroid meds. since the '70's with all the 'ups & downs' and miserable conditions mentioned on your 'page'. I fit into that comment....
DO YOU FEEL SO BAD THAT YOU KNOW SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH YOUR HEALTH AND THAT YOU NEED TO GET IT FIXED?
The Physician's Assistant at the Doctor's office told me there was nothing they could do for me. My Lab work is normal and I am deathly sick. Referred me to an Endocrinologist. There are no Doctor's in this area practicing WILSONSTEMPERATURESYNDROME...SO I TOOK IT UPON MY SELF TO ORDER THYROCARE. My temp has come up from 96 to 97 and I can feel strength in my body and mind. IT IS MOST AMAZING....I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT, But know it is of a truth. You can not imagine the gratitude in my heart and I hardly know how to express it. You are marvelous people. I must order the books for my next step, but from there I need direction and I sure do not want to go backwards.....THIS FEELING IS TERRIFIC. BLESS EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU. Thank you

Success Story:

I did a round of Wilson's last fall after my doctor felt that my temperature could use a boost. Despite meticulous dosages, I got disappointing results. My temperatures never really moved much differently while on the T3 therapy and never got above 98 at any time even with a top dose of 90 mg twice a day. I felt good on the therapy, but didn't get the hoped for results.

Recently I was considering another round of T3 and I read about the herb supplements in your website and decided to give them a try instead. AMAZING RESULTS. I did not think to begin taking my temperature until I had been on the supplements for (I am guessing) about two weeks: 98.6 at any time of the day. I was amazed and delighted.

I take 180 mg of Armour daily along with many vitamins and minerals geared to fighting menopause symptoms. I am going to continue the Thyrocare capsules indefinitely. I take two caps in the morning and two around 5 p.m. I have not had any trouble remembering to take them especially with the fantastic results in temperature boost!

One of the questions that I had wondered about was when your body was used to such a low body temperature, would you feel sick if it was boosted to 98.6? It feels great to be at 98.6 and I don't feel ill at all. The miserable food cravings that I have been battling despite following a strict, extremely low carbohydrate diet have greatly gone away.

Thank you for your support.

Ryan Rossi from Thomaston, CT had always been energetic and involved in sports. He started getting so tired that his mother suspected he had Mononucleosis. On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being normal) Ryan felt like a 3. Doctors diagnosed him with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (because of high antibody levels), which is an autoimmune disease, and hypothyroidism (because of high TSH levels). He was told he'd have to take thyroid medicine for the rest of his life . Ryan was treated by Dr. Friedman with herbal medicines and the WT3 protocol of T 3 therapy and he's done wonderfully. He was a normal 15 yr old kid again. He was what he was before. He had no complaints of any kind from the treatment. He breezed right through the whole thing which lasted about 5 months. He's been off the treatment for over 5 years and still feels great (10 out of 10) and is not taking any medicines.

Success Story:

I was a borderline WTS case with average daily temperatures around 98.2 to 98.3. But my symptoms were troubling to me. I knew I wasn't feeling my best and I blamed it on my middle age. My primary symptoms were fatigue, dry skin and hair, stubborn weight gain, PMS, food allergies, and insomnia. I knew something was wrong and when I learned about Wilson's Temperature Syndrome, it was an "AHA!" moment. I read the patient and doctor's manual and decided that I would try the supplements and non-medical strategies to see if that worked. I am taking the following recommended steps: (I eat according a "hypoglycemic" diet. For me this meant eating less, but more frequently, and reducing simple carbohydrates in favor of more complex carbohydrates. I find flexibility in eating and find I do not have to be a perfect dieter to get results. (I've been taking ThyroCare and Adaptogen for at least 90 days. I also take a good, bio-available multiple vitamin and omega-3 fatty acids in the form of fish oil. I exercise moderately and faithfully, consisting of slow motion weight lifting and cross-training aerobically (stair climber or elliptical machines). I am happy to report after 4 months that I wake up refreshed for the first time in my life. I do not have afternoon or evening slumps and I sleep very well. I have lost almost 15 lbs in this time. My food sensitivities are diminished. My average daily temp is now 98.5 to 98.6. Perhaps my story will help those who are "borderline" and wonder whether it's worth it to try the non-medical approach as the first line of defense. It was for me. I often tell people, "If I felt any better, I'd be twins."
Thanks for sharing and caring,

Success Story:

I take 2 [ThyroCare] per day in the morning. I am a runner and I've noticed a difference in my endurance and strength on hills that I didnt have prior to taking the ThyroCare. I noticed the difference within a week of taking them daily and it has allowed me to extend my distance by 2 miles over the course of the past two weeks. Up to 5.5 miles from 3.5 and I feel wonderful.

Success Story:

I believe the ThyroCare supplements have allowed me to achieve a steady normal temperature for the first time in 11 months. I've lost track of how many cycles [of the T3 therapy] I've completed in almost one year's time. I am confident in saying that I think I've successfully overcome the unsteadiness. In conjunction with ThyroCare I'm weaning off the T3 very slowly this time. I've had a normal temp for 2 weeks now! I've had thyroid problems for 31 years. I've been off all T4 meds for one year now and ... I've never felt better! And this is all during perimenopause! I would absolutely recommend the combination of the supplements with the T3 therapy.

Success Story:

I have found that the ThyroCare has helped my symptoms significantly. I have not yet returned to my doctor's office to get my thyroid levels re-checked; however, would continue with the ThyroCare regardless.

That most significant aspect that I have noticed is the significant decrease in my mood swings...particularly when I am hungry. I have noticed that my behavior is no longer driven by my appetite...something that I have had to deal with for the past 10 years. I feel like I know what it is like to be a "normal" person. I can now eat on a more regular basis and require less sleep both at night and at day (when I could nap!).

I would definitely recommend this product to anyone without any reservations whatsoever.

Success Story:

Yes! ThyroCare and Adaptogen have improved my well being and I am doing much better. My average temperature used to be around 96 degrees and now it has gone up to 98.2! I also exercise almost every day to try to keep my sluggish metabolism up, but the supplements seem to keep my temperature regular. I have noticed if I don't take them my temperature again goes down. I believe I have been on the ThyroCare and the Adaptogen for about four months now, and I am very happy with the results.

Thanks!

Success Story:

My mom was diagnosed with Fibro about 3 years ago and went through a very hard time. At one point they had her hooked on Vicodin and then supplementing with 800mg of Ibuprofen (which tore up her stomach). The good thing? She's noticed a big difference with the FibroCare product. She usually takes two pills a day and has told me that many days she's down to one or 1 1/2.

Success Story:

I have been using the ThyroCare and Adaptogen for approximately a month. I take (2) capsules of each, (3) times a day. I occasionally add the Healthy Foundation. I have been about 90% consistent in taking them at the same time. Within the first week, I noticed that my severely dried lips improved by 85% (which I have had for the last ten years). My facial skin has also noticeably improved (less fine lines probably due to less dryness) I do feel that my energy level has slightly improved. In addition to myself, I have been giving my 12 year daughter (1) Thyrocare and (2) MigraCare every day because her temperature has been between 97-98 degrees and she has headaches almost every day at school. Since the first day I gave her these two products, her headaches have ceased. She has not had a headache in two weeks. I am thrilled for her. I am very pleased with these products.

Success Story:

I was thinking of writing to you to tell you how much better I feel, but I have been busy having a life again!!!! I don't believe I have energy again! I was living the life of a slug on the couch and in so much pain I couldn't sit at the computer. Now, I work about two hours a day in the yard and flower gardens. I play with the grandchildren every week and they don't wear me out--I wear them out!!! I have taken over the chores in the home that my hubby was doing before. It actually feels good to mop the floor myself! I have even thought of going back to teaching in the fall.

Last month I had a migraine that lasted for 15 days. This month it was gone in 24 hours! My regular doctor thinks that this relief is just a fluke, but I hope to prove him wrong. Before the ThyroCare I was on several medicines that were damaging my kidneys and causing side effects that were ruining my life. I had to take seizure medication that left me unable to think or learn anything new. (I had been learning a new language and it was going very slow). Since the ThyroCare I have gone off the seizure medication with no problem (I had a doctor's help with the tapering off). I have done so much better in my language classes, I decided to learn a couple more languages as well. The other medications were costing me 200 dollars a month--just in COPAYS!!. Compared to that the ThyroCare is a real bargain. I have decided to continue with the ThyroCare (though some days I feel so good I actually forget to take it) for the next three months as directed. If things get much better, I could be dangerous. I have told the secretary in my hubby's office how well I have been doing and she is considering ordering ThyroCare for herself. My sister has already placed her order and is doing better as well. I would tell anyone who has Fibromyalgia to try it--what have you got to lose--and you have everything to gain.

I am taking HypoglycemiCare, and I'm only taking one a day but do notice a difference. I am able to go longer between "feedings" without feeling hungry. I'm surprised that so little affects me, but it does.

Success Story:

Hi,

The supplements have definitely helped me.

I started taking ThyroCare 1 pill 3X a day and Healthy Foundation, 1/2 teaspoon 3X a day in February '03. My TSH and thyroid level test came back normal (although a low normal) in April, which it wasn't before then.

I'm off synthroid, which I was taking last year also, and am thrilled to be off the drug, as I felt ill from it, i.e. nausea and headaches.

I took a second TSH and thyroid level test in June '03 and the readings were even better than the last one and still normal, although still low, but better. So I want to continue with the supplements. I still feel fatigue, but not as bad, which is the reason I started taking the supplements, for fatigue.

When I take my temperature, it seems to be coming back normal, i.e. taking 3X a day, averages 98.6, normal, which it used to run a tiny bit low, like 98.4 or 98.5.

I'm very good at taking the ThyroCare 3X a day, sometimes I forget the Healthy Foundation, since I keep it in the fridge and when I'm working all day I don't have access to it. I was measuring it out on a 1/2 teaspoon, but some spills and I don't want to waste it. So lately I've taken to just taking a swig of it straight from the bottle. I just took off the plastic thing and take a swig. It works for me - I have a rushed schedule and need it easy to do.

I'm going to continue with the supplements. The one bad thing, which may have nothing to do with the supps. but probably stress and not eating well is my antibodies seem to have gotten higher on the blood test in June. So that has to be watched. I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

So thank you so much for developing these supplements. I'm so happy to be off the horrible drugs. And I was thrilled to have my TSH and the other thyroid levels within the normal range with NO DRUGS!

I think it is very good you offer it on the website and not through a doctor, because sometimes it's hard to find a doctor that is receptive to no drugs or knowledgeable and it's a hassle to go through all the time and energy getting an appointment, driving there, etc. etc. And frankly I was too tired to set all that up and the website was easy and not so draining.

I actually told the doctor I was seeing before for the Hashimoto's about the supplements, seeing it on the website. They told me about Dr. Wilson originally, I read the books, and then I was the one that read your notice on the supplements on the website and told the doctor about it.

Thank you so much for sending me the info. on the supplements on your mailing list, as that's how I ended up trying them.

Success Story:

I am already feeling the effects of the [ThyroCare and HypoglycemiCare]. I am now able to walk the entire 3 miles with my walking group (in 45 minutes) and have recently been able to extend my golf game from 9 holes to 18.

I take .2 mg. of Synthroid, and have for 37 years and the supplements seem to give me that final boost that I need to lead a normal, active life for someone 67 years old. Keep up the good work.

Success Story:

After my third child, which was a c-section, I started experiencing depression, irritability, and a bad feeling overall and noticed I couldn't lose the weight like I had with the first two. I remember while I was in the hospital, after the c-section, having my temperature checked and it was well below normal. When I got home my temperature remained low and I knew I needed T3-Therapy. I started the T3-Therapy and within a week my temperature went up and my symptoms and weight went away.

I started developing kidney stones with my first child (almost 16 years ago) and continued having them with each of my five children. I've had mild to moderate to severe pain in my bladder area for about the last ten years. Twice I was given strong antibiotics due to a severe infection in my kidneys. I decided after the two episodes of antibiotics I wasn't going to take any more. I felt that my body could heal itself if I gave it what it needed. Looking back I am amazed at how well my body functioned considering the bladder problems I was having. I'm certain it functioned as well as it did because my temperature was normal (I know because I kept checking it).

I started taking ThyroCare, Adaptogen, HypoglycemiCare, and Healthy Foundation about five months ago and now I am pain free. I decided to take them all because I believe all my systems had probably been taxed over the years trying to fight and/or keep up with the demands of living and functioning. I believe the herbs are just what I needed to heal. My body feels "normal" again. I now enjoy getting up in the mornings. I can exercise and take care of tasks that before seemed quite overwhelming. I believe I was also in the beginning stages of menopause at the age of 42 but those symptoms seem to be disappearing. It's difficult to explain to someone how it feels to be in pain all the time. The pain is almost all you can think about during the day. I am truly grateful for the knowledge and expertise of Dr. Wilson and Dr. Friedman. I feel great!

Success Story:

I had so many of the symptoms you mentioned on your web site that I decided to take my temperature and over a two week period it was only 98.2. I didn't feel that it was low enough to see a doctor to get on WT3 so I decided to try taking the supplements ThyroCare and Healthy Foundation instead. I actually have some energy again and I feel like my digestive problems have improved. I still have the dry skin/hair and many of the other symptoms, but I've only been on the supplements just short of a month. I can't wait to see what I feel like in another three months after being on the supplements for an entire four months. I take the ThyroCare and Healthy Foundation every morning and shortly after dinner which makes it easy for me to remember to take them.

Success Story:

Hi,

6.5 years back, 6 months after I gave birth to my son, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Tyroiditis and the doctor put me on Synthroid 0.088 right away. SInce then my tests always are within the range and my dosage never changed. Like everybody else, I felt a little better at the beginning. But as the years passed I feel the symptoms that are listed on your web site are getting worse. I have at least 20 of them with PMS, weight gain, irritability, allergies,constipation, depression being the most visible ones. As you stated in the web page, they seem to be worsening with stress and in time.

But I am not a person who will sit back and listen to a doctor who says "you will never recover from this and you have to use the medication for the rest of your life". I went to world reknowned endocrinologists and all told me the same things. I always thought I will be rid of this sickness, I always knew there was a piece missing.

Anyway, As I read your web site it felt like the pieces of puzzle is coming together. I know that I had the symptoms of WTS since I was 10 years old which I will discuss with the doctor that I am trying to find from your web site... Right now, I am in the process of interviewing doctors and I just ordered the Doctor's manual.

As for the supplements: In the last 3 weeks that I've been using ThyroCare and Healthy Foundation my acne is much better, PMS symptoms were much milder, I have more energy, my temperature after the PMS is around 98.6. I know my temperatures were around 97+ and 98 before and your supplements brought it up. Did I make a mistake by using the supplements before the T3 Therapy?

WTS makes so much sense. I have a lot of friends with the same problem. As soon as I gather all my info together and find the right doctor I am starting to spread the word.

You have given me hope.

Sincerely,

Kamelya Bhamani

Dear Kamelya,

No, it's fine for patients to use the supplements before going on the WT3 protocol.

Wishing you the best in your recovery,
