When looking for a doctor to help with Low Temperature symptoms, sometimes you can find one by interviewing and sorting through various doctors. Since you are the “customer” and paying the doctor to provide a service, if you aren’t getting what you’re looking for, then you should find someone who does.
Many doctors feel that the information on wilsonssyndrome.com makes common sense and the symptoms are consistent with what they see in practice. But how do you find those doctors that would be willing to work with you to normalize your temperature? Believe it or not, you can put the information and ideas in front of them. Doctors are faced every day with patients struggling with low temperature symptoms. If you provide information that can help them help their patients, they may be pretty interested!
That’s why I go into quite a bit of detail about how you might talk with your doctor on my website. To find this information, click on “Patient Guide to Recruiting a Doctor” in the pull-down menu under “Patients.” While some doctors have learned about Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome from our annual Restorative Medicine Conference or other resources, many of those who take the time to learn about it do so because one of their patients first expresses an interest.
There are a few things I suggest patients do to recruit a doctor. If you have a regular doctor you like and trust, who cares about you and listens to what you have to say, who seems to be open to new ideas, try that doctor first. The best way to get his time and attention is to make an appointment specifically to talk about being treated with T3. So let the appointment clerk, nurse or office manager know that is why you are coming in.
Next, consider buying a copy of my newly updated book, Evidence-Based Approach to Restoring Thyroid Health (2014) to share with your doctor. You might drop the book off before your visit, and ask him if he would mind taking a look at the book, especially Chapter 5, on Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome. You can also give it to him during your visit. If he agrees to look at the book, say “Great! I’ll give you a call in the next few days to see what you think.” Having something credible your doctor can read about Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome ahead of time will save you a lot of explaining, and give your doctor a chance to see the new research findings that support Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome and use of T3.
At some point during your doctor’s visit say “This really sounds like me and I think it’s worth a try, would you be willing to work with me on it?” So make a direct request—not a demand. You may not get a direct answer right away—your doctor may say he needs to find out more about it first—but you should know within a few weeks if this doctor is willing to follow through on it with you.
Let your doctor know that help is available on the WTS website. Under the “Doctors” tab, there is a free ebook- Doctor’s Manual for Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome. Your doctor will need to take a few hours to read this manual if he or she is going to treat you. Your doctor can also call us at 800-420-5801 for free consultation (with another doctor) on the use of the T3 protocol. Doctors who do both of these things can get up to speed quickly with the T3 protocol.
If your own doctor isn’t helpful, you can always find the closest doctor to you who is interested in treating patients with the T3 protocol on our website, using your zipcode. Osteopathic doctors (D.O.) are often excellent at managing Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome because of their strong clinical background. Naturopathic doctors (N.D.) are also often very good. Many of the doctors on our website have been certified in the T3 protocol, which means that they have completed training and testing with me and are knowledgeable about using T3 and herbs to restore normal body temperature.
There are many more resources and references on the WTS website. Some are listed below.
