Iodine is essential for the proper functioning of a normal metabolism.  We get iodine from our diet.  The thyroid gland contains tiny pumps called Sodium Iodide Symporters (NIS) that concentrate the iodine in our thyroid glands.  The thyroid gland needs iodine to make thyroid hormones.  As you know, thyroid hormones are necessary for a healthy metabolism.  Thus, if we don’t get enough iodine in our diets we can easily suffer the effects of a slower metabolism, which include weight gain, impaired mental function, fatigue, and infertility!

Interestingly, the breast also has the NIS pumps so that it can concentrate iodine in

Hi Dr. Wilson,

My story with WTS [Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome] begins about 14 years ago when I became very ill; the usual complaints however that a doctor will ascribe to about any cause: horrible fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, depression, lethargy, the list goes on… i really though I was dying!

Unfortunately I was diagnosed by a family doctor with what she said was borderline hypothyroidism and started on T4. I did feel somewhat better at first, but then shortly after got worse upon which she upped my dose. This went on for about

Down Syndrome is when a person is born with all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21.  It is the most common chromosome abnormality in humans.  The incidence of Down Syndrome increases dramatically as the age of the mother at time of pregnancy increases above 40 years of age.  People with Down Syndrome tend to have developmental delays and slower and less physical growth (they tend to be smaller in stature).

People with Down Syndrome are also more likely to develop cancer, thyroid disorders, eye and hearing disorders, as well as other difficulties.

The incidence of hypothyroidism is several times

Since starting treatments I have finally been free from migraine headaches.  I took Fiorinal on a daily basis whenever I got a headache so as not to go into a full blown migraine.  When the Fiorinal didn’t work I was given Darvon.  I was also sent, on occasion, to the emergency room for a shot, because the pain was so intense.  It was humiliating because they seemed to act as if I was faking just to get a shot of pain killer, as if I enjoyed waiting for hours to get stuck with a needle.  I have had to take

This past week Brooke Burke-Charvet, co-host of Dancing With the Stars, announced via YouTube that she has thyroid cancer. Mrs. Burke-Charvet further revealed that she will undergo a thyroidectomy that will completely remove her thyroid gland. Although Mrs.Burke-Charvet lamented having a “big scar” on her neck, prognosis is good; when caught early, thyroid cancer is treatable with a survival rate approaching 100%.

However, after her thyroidectomy Mrs.Burke-Charvet will have to take thyroid medication for the rest of her life — once her thyroid is removed she will be rendered permanently hypothyroid.  Thyroid replacement therapy for Mrs. Burke-Charvet will likely be prescribed

“Doctors and patients shouldn’t even try to do T3 therapy without having first read the Doctor’s Manual. When patients read the Manual I have very little difficulty with the treatment. When they do get their temperatures up they feel great!”

Have you ever experimented with the South Beach Diet, Zone Diet, or Nutrisystem? If so, you’re likely aware of Glycemic Index (GI): A scale of 1 to 100 that measures how different foods (and beverages) will influence blood sugar levels. “Low-GI” diets have become popular for helping with weight loss by stabilizing blood sugar. The bigger news is that the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended the Low-GI diet to prevent heart disease, diabetes and obesity. For those with low thyroid function, the Low-GI diet’s blood sugar stabilizing effects may hold even more promise.

Thyroid disease and diabetes go hand-in-hand. Consider: 6.6%

“I know that T3 benefits fibromyalgia patients. 50% of my fibromyalgia patients improve with T3 therapy. Brain fog (foggy mental function) and Fibro fog (brain fog typical of fibromyalgia) often respond the best to T3 therapy. Conventional medicine seems preoccupied with simply treating symptoms without carefully investigating the underlying causes of those symptoms. 40% or more of the population could benefit from thyroid treatment. The thyroid system regulates energy and energy is important in healing and in how well the body functions.”

Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome may be a fresh idea to some, but the tenets of this protocol are well-established and backed by decades of clinical studies and research. The connection between low body temperature, low thyroid function, and a host of associated far-reaching symptoms have been on scientists’ radars for some time.

Consider some of the early animal studies related to low body temperature and low thyroid function. Researchers suggested very early on, way back in the 1970s, that genetically obese mice can be identified by their low oxygen consumption and low body temperature, already hinting at the metabolism connection.
