Low Body Temperature

Many doctors are not aware that low body temperatures can cause severe problems or that they can be corrected. Therefore, they rarely check patients for low temperatures. In fact, the body temperature is probably the most important reading doctors rarely check!

Absolutely, a low body temperature is more than enough to explain many debilitating symptoms such as:

Many people regain their health when they reset their low temperatures back to normal through the use of diet, exercise, herbal supplements, or the WT3 protocol described in the Doctor's Manual. Probably the most exciting part is that they often remain improved even after they stop taking the supplements or T3.

It's easy to see how important body temperatures are to good health. You know that people can get sick and die from heat stroke, and you know that people can die from hypothermia. You know people can feel terrible when they have a fever that is just 1.5 degrees above normal. It's obvious that people can feel terrible when their temperatures are 1.5 degrees below normal. Of course temperature matters.

A proper temperature is critical for proper function of the body. Body temperature affects virtually all bodily functions. The thyroid system plays a key role in maintaining normal body temperatures. However, people can have low temperatures and severe symptoms even when their thryoid glands and thyroid blood tests are completely normal.

You see, under conditions of severe stress like childbirth, divorce, death of a loved one, or job or family stress, the body has the ability to slow down in order to conserve energy. When that occurs the temperature will frequently go down below 98.0 F, and patients will often develop symptoms as described above (the body can conserve energy by shutting down energy spent on expendible items such as hair, skin, and nails).

All this is normal and often helpful. However, after the stress has passed, the body is supposed to speed back up again to a normal temperature and vigorous good health...but sometimes it doesn't. Persistent low body temperatures and symptoms in the face of normal thyroid blood tests is called Wilson's Temperature Syndrome (WTS). Luckily, WTS is usually reversible.

Some people can recover by reducing stress and improving diet and exercise and other health measures such as sleep. Others benefit from specifically designed dietary supplements. Others require definitive medical treatment with a special thyroid hormone protocol.

Success Story:
I have had almost unbelievable results. I started the supplements immediately when I got them. Initially, I wanted to start on the WT3 protocol, but was unable to get any of my local doctors to prescribe. After thought and research on the WT3 protocol, I decided to give the supplements a chance. I was very doubtful. I have been diagnosed with Hashimoto, my temperature was regularly between 95-97. I was having constant hot flashes and anxiety attacks. I was almost debilitated. I was HOT HOT HOT all the time. The lower my temperature, the hotter I felt. I actually started taking my temperature the first time because I was very sick, in bed, and I thought I had a fever, maybe a sinus infection. I was having severe headaches. My temperature was 95.1. I was very concerned, but my doctor didn't flinch at it. He told me I was depressed and needed Efexor and Adavan. I never filled those prescriptions.

After about 3 days on the supplements, my temperature started to creep up. After only 1-1/2 weeks, it was hitting 98.6, which I can't remember when the last time I saw that was. My temperature has been on the low side for years, in the 97 range usually.

I am still taking them and I only take my temperature once a day or so in the middle of the day and it is consistently 98.4 - 98.9. The hot flashes have almost disappeared. The anxiety attacks are gone. I have been exercising and have noticed my stomach is smaller and I've lost a few pounds.

I am thrilled and very thankful for this information and the advice and supplements.

I can honestly say I feel like my life is back to normal and my health is better than it has ever been.
