The Protocol for Wilson's Syndrome

Dr. E. Denis Wilson developed a concept for thyroid treatment called Wilson's Temperature Syndrome protocol. Wilson's Syndrome, or WTS, is thought to be brought on by physical or emotional stress and causes symptoms associated with hypothyroid despite blood tests revealing normal thyroid levels. It is named Wilson's Temperature Syndrome because it is characterized by low body temperature and because temperatures typically normalize and symptoms improve following treatment. It can be reversed with a special thyroid treatment protocol.

Wilson's Syndrome Degrees of Health

• Wilson's Syndrome pinpoints several varying degrees of health and illness in the body.

  According to the Wilson Syndrome, the body's health can range within several varying degrees between general good health and severe illness. The first degree is a mild health impairment that the body can eventually correct on its own under current conditions. In the second degree, the body can correct the health issue with an improvement to the conditions such as an improved diet and more rest. Third degree is where the body cannot correct the problem on its own, but may be able to do so with the assistance of medical treatment such as antibiotics. In the fourth degree, the body cannot fully recover due to permanent damage in the body, and fifth degree is where the body or parts of the body will not be able to survive.

The Right Doctor

• A doctor with the proper training is an important protocol to Wilson's Sydrome.

  Choosing the right doctor is key to the WTS protocol. While many doctors provide thyroid care, and some even follow the recommendations made by Dr. Wilson, a doctor may not be properly educated in the proper methods for Wilson's Syndrome unless she has had thorough training through the Wilson's Syndrome manual.

The Right T3 Medicine the Right Way

• T3 must be taken in a slow release capsule form every 12 hours.

  Proper administration of the Wilson's Syndrome protocol involves the use of the correct type of T3 medicine prescribed and used in the right way. Many doctors prescribe the use of T3, but Dr. Wilson specifically indicates the T3 is best tolerated when prepared with a sustained release agent to allow gradual release of the hormone throughout the day. It is recommended to take the T3 in capsule form twice a day precisely on time. The T3 must be prepared by a qualified pharmacist and prescribed by a doctor.

Providing a Normal and Steady Body Temperature

• Maintaining normal body temperatures is one key of the Wilson's Syndrome protocol.

  Abnormal body temperatures can cause uncomfortable and dangerous reactions in the body. Low body temperature can cause feelings of coldness in the hands and feet, lethargy and depression. High body temperature can cause increased heart rate and an increase in blood pressure. To maximize the patient's comfort throughout treatment, the Wilson's Syndrome protocol emphasizes the need to maintain a consistent, normal body temperature for the patient. Initially there may be a need for medical adjustment which should then become normal as the body regulates itself.

Patient Involvement

• Patient involvement in treatment is essential to successful treatment.

  The patient is one of the most significant factors in the protocol for Wilson's Syndrome. Patients need to take the treatment seriously and follow the doctor's instructions throughout the process. A patient who does not commit to taking his prescribed medications on time, charting his temperature accurately or following up with doctor's appointments may risk interfering with the effectiveness of the treatment.
