We’ve heard from our youth that Vitamin D is good for our bones but it’s also important in fighting autoimmune thyroid disease. When children don’t get enough vitamin D or calcium they can develop rickets, a softening of the bones. Milk is often fortified with vitamin D as a preventive measure. Adults that don’t get enough vitamin D can also experience decreased mineralization of the bones referred to as osteomalacia. What many people don’t know is that the incidence of autoimmune conditions (when the immune system incorrectly attacks instead of protects the body) is higher in people with vitamin […]
Don’t let the FDA remove your access to sustained release T3
Take action by following the link at the end of this post to prevent the FDA from removing your access to sustained-release T3. The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) has released draft legislation that would enable the FDA to regulate both compounding pharmacies and the compounded medications themselves. Currently compounding pharmacies are regulated on the state level. Page 7 of the draft says: “may include the designation of drugs or categories of drugs that present demonstrable difficulties for compounding, such as extended release products….” As it turns out, extended release products are not difficult to […]
Thyroid crucial for heart health
When people have high cholesterol levels most doctors don’t think of thyroid and low body temperature. But hypothyroidism can increase the risk of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) by as much as 25% by increasing LDL cholesterol levels. Many people with low body temperatures and normal thyroid blood tests also have high cholesterol levels that quickly normalize when their body temperatures are raised to normal. Hypothyroidism and low body temperatures can also increase the risk of CHD by increasing obesity and diabetes. Some studies suggest that some patients with acute and chronic cardiovascular problems have impaired T4 to T3 conversion […]

Thyroid hormones and DNA
Thyroid hormones, particularly the active thyroid hormone T3, affect nearly every physiologic process in the body. Think of that. Thyroid hormones affect virtually every process in the body. Have you ever wondered how that might be? You are no doubt familiar with the term DNA (DeoxyriboNucleic Acid). It is the molecule in our cells that contains the genetic code that directs how we are built and how we function. Thyroid hormones affect the transcription and utilization of the directions encoded in the DNA. In every cell of the body, thyroid hormones bind to receptors on the nucleus and thereby […]
Treating Wilson’s Syndrome Very Helpful in Lyme disease
Treating WTS (as one of my symptoms) some years ago made a huge improvement in my long term battle with Lyme. My Lyme doctor recently discovering the prevalence of gluten intolerance in those with Lyme has allowed me (and almost all of her patients) to regain full health.
Thanks to Dr. Wilson for his discovery of Wilson’s Syndrome! My Lyme doctor tells me virtually all of her Lyme patients have (had) WTS. She was unaware of WTS until I began seeing her a year ago. She told me treating WTS with T3 has been a huge help to every single […]
I’m feeling energetic and motivated
Dear Dr. Wilson, Many thanks for your research and persistence in determining an underlying cause of low body temperature. I have been running subnormal temps for the past twenty-one years and none of my physicians seemed to be terribly concerned. During these years, I had long suspected that my fatigue (never felt rested), slow but steady weight gain(despite various diets), and feeling of being “chilled to the bone” especially in the evening had something to do with my temperature running between 95.4 to 96.7 degrees on a regular basis. Unless I used an electric blanket or insisted that my […]
Ashwagandha- a plant that can help you handle stress
Adaptogens can be defined as substances that increase the body’s resistance to stress. Know anyone who is under any stress these days? Ashwagandha, known scientifically as Withania somnifera and as Indian ginseng has been used for over 3,000 years as an adaptogen and was believed to benefit the thyroid, the adrenal glands and the nervous system, especially during times of stress.4 It is also used being investigated as an adjunct to chemotherapy, boosting the immune system and protecting healthy cells. Ashwagandha also acts to help to support the nervous system, prevent dementia and cognitive decline1-3 AND as […]
Guggul is an herb that supports thyroid health
Guggul Myrrh is an herb that benefits the thyroid and the body in many ways. Its scientific name is Commiphora myrrha and is the same plant which produces the myrrh mentioned in the bible. Resin from the Guggul plant has been used medicinally since at least 600 BCE. That’s over 2600 years of accumulated clinical experience!
It has been used in a variety of medical traditions to treat obesity, arthritis and muscular disorders, heart conditions, tumors, liver disorders and thyroid disorders, among others. Modern studies have indicated that certain components of guggul resin—the […]
WOW! I have never felt so good in my entire life
I wanted you to know how miraculous your T3 therapy was for me. I’ve been hypothyroid for most of my life (getting diagnosed is a story in itself!). One of my doctors had tested for reverse T3 after I had noticed that even though we had increased my T4 (Levoxyl), I wasn’t feeling better, much less well. My labs consistently showed RT3 values in the 200/300 range, and nothing we did made it come down much. He was out of ideas on how to treat me, so I found a naturopath who happened to be in your network. Because […]
