Wilson's Thyroid Syndrome
Is Your Body Temperature Below 98.2ºf?
If your body temperature is routinely below 98.2ºf, you may have a thyroid problem and you should be tested for the common thyroid problems using the TSH test, but if your body temperature is low and the test is normal, you may have Wilson's Thyroid Syndrome.
The most important thyroid hormone is T3, but it varies considerably depending on the person and time of day, so it cannot be accurately measured directly. The most common thyroid test is the TSH test. This measures the level of thyroid stimulating hormone. If this is in the proper range, then most doctors believe you don't have a thyroid problem no matter what your other symptoms are. The problem with this is no one has ever proven that a normal TSH test always means that you have adequate T3. According to Dr. Wilson, you can have low levels of T3 and have a perfectly normal TSH test!
Dr. Wilson has a protocol which is effective for many people and his site has a list of doctors that use it.
Dr. Wilson's treatment is very controversial, and his license was taken away after one woman suffered a fatal heart attack. There is little question that his alternative approach is controversial and angered the medical board. The fact is that doctors treat thousands of patients per year and odds are that several will have heart attacks.
More information is available at the Wilson's Syndrome site:
