Medical Treatment of Wilson's Temperature Syndrome (WT3 protocol)
Many people don't fully realize how badly they are feeling until they get better
with the Wilson's T3 protocol . As a few doctors' patients have put it, "Now I
remember what it feels like to be normal!" You can click here to read more
about the results of the WT3 protocol.

"standard of care" medicine).
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 RT 3 (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 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 wellprepared 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 T 3 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. We use the term Wilson's T3 protocol or
WT3 protocol to distinguish our protocol 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.
Just one area of ignorance could cost you a couple of months of medicine,
money, and progress. And there are dozens of important principles and
aspects you and your doctor need to know. The Wilson's T 3 protocol is simple
and very easy to understand as laid out step-by-step in the Doctor's Manual,
but if you don't know how to do it, you don't know how to do it.
"I have seen many patients treated by doctors for Wilson's Thyroid Syndrome with
poor results. Often, it appears that these patients have been treated with T3 in a way
that's doesn't seem fully logical. The approach taken doesn't seem to reflect an
understanding of known thyroid physiology and/or the principles outlined in the
Doctor's Manual. In my experience, the results people experience clearly depend on
the way the T3 is used.

What Can Go Wrong With the WT3 Protocol?
As with any treatment approach, there are some things that can go wrong.
There are 4 components involved in the Wilson's T3 protocol:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Patients
Doctors
Pharmacists
The Treatment
Unfavorable things can happen in any one of these components.

Patients might not take the treatment seriously, or may not have the
ability to do the treatment carefully
Doctors may say they know how to treat WTS, but their treatment may
not go along with known thyroid physiology or the treatment principles
fully explained in the Doctor's Manual.
Pharmacists may not mix the medicine well enough
And even if everyone does the treatment very well, patients can still
sometimes have complaints
For example, the point of treatment is to improve the temperature and
metabolism, so it's normal for the heart rate to increase. However it is prudent
to not let it increase too much. Care should be taken not to allow the pulse
rate to remain above 100 beats / minute, or more than about 20 beats /
minute faster than before treatment. This should be considered a side effect
and managed accordingly.
In addition, if patients don't respond very well to the treatment they may have
some other underlying problems. For example, if patients don't tolerate the T 3
therapy well, some doctors see that as a sign that the patient may need some
adrenal support. When such patients are given adrenal support such as
(hydrocortisone, or adrenal glandulars) doctors say the patients are often able
to tolerate the T3 therapy much more easily.
T3 is a powerful hormone. It can do a powerful amount of good when used
properly, and a powerful amount of harm if used carelessly. It's not candy and
it's not like any other thyroid medicine. It's the active form. That changes
everything. When used carefully and wisely it can be extremely well tolerated
and can make all the difference in the world
The Treatment of Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome
using Tertroxin
In a nutshell
You start on about 20mcg per day of Tertroxin T3
Then increase by 20mcg every 2-3 days until you hit 80mcg (4 tabs a day – at 8am, 12am,
4pm and 8pm
Thereafter you increase by 10-20mcg per dose every 5 days
Up until 220mcg (but most have stopped increasing long before then due to symptoms)
If you make it that high, then you hold it at the high dose (or whatever dose you make
it to) and it takes about 6 weeks to clear the receptors of RT3 (reverse T3)
Then what tends to happen is suddenly the receptors start working and you get the symptoms
of hyperthyroidism, and you need to drop the dose (sometimes rather quickly), until you find
your sweet spot (where temps are 37 and symptoms are gone, and there are no hyperthyroid
symptoms)
The symptoms of hyperthyroidism are:





Fast pulse rate >80 beats per minute
You may feel nervous
Tremor
Diarrhoea
Eyes may feel or look different
Stop when your temperatures return to normal
