"Don't worry, I've been there. I had almost all the symptoms listed on the right hand side of this page, and now my health is completely restored and I'm no longer taking any medicines!
If you suffer from any of these symptoms you will find some extremely promising options for yourself on this website."
-Sarah Pereira, CT
The powerful solutions presented on this website are helping thousands of people all over the country (as well as people in different parts of the world) become as healthy as they knew they could be.
Hundreds of doctors have helped thousands of patients get
their health back using Wilson's-T3 therapy (or W-T3
therapy, which is a special prescription thyroid medicine treatment) for
Wilson's Thyroid Syndrome. In addition, we are now introducing a new line of
safe and powerful natural medicines called WTS Medicines (which stands for
Wilson's Thyroid Syndrome Medicines) that beautifully complement the W-T3
therapy as well as addressing many chronic ailments directly.
The focus of this web site has always been to help people get better, and stay better, off medicine. Up until now, Dr. Wilson only saw that happening with W-T3 therapy. But recently, Dr. Wilson has become aware of powerful new natural medicine formulas (mostly herbal formulas) that are really helping people get better and stay better even after going off the herbal formulas!
Now that we know of more than one way of restoring health, our focus can now be finding and presenting treatments that can help people get better, and stay better, off medicine.
In order to reflect this focus, we use the term
Restorative Medicine to include W-T3 therapy for Wilson's Thyroid
Syndrome, WTS [natural] medicines, and any other successful medical treatment we
come across that helps people get better, and stay better, even after the
treatment has been discontinued.
We have found that a low body temperature is a strong indication that there is something wrong that can be fixed, particularly with W-T3 therapy and/or WTS medicines. Just like a fever (high body temperature) is a good indicator that "something's wrong" and can cause people to feel terrible, so can a low body temperature. In fact, a low body temperature is more than enough to explain almost all of the health problems listed to the right. You can have a low temperature even if you feel hot all the time, we urge you to check it with a thermometer.
...After 30 years my [body] is functioning properly on its own, and I'm doing much better now than when I was on thyroid medicine. I have lost 40 pounds and reduced my blood pressure medicine by 1/2. I have kept the 40 pounds off for the last six months with little or no effort... I hold the position of executive secretary for a very busy public figure and pride myself on being a good wife, a very efficient secretary, a great mom and grandmom, and very active in several volunteer organizations. What more can I say, Dr. Wilson, other than I wished you had been around 30 years ago. -- Sally S. Full Story
Success Is Sometimes Bittersweet
Often, only when people recover do they fully realize what they've lost. They can't go back and relive their past, they can only enjoy their future. Through our experience of more than 10 years of helping thousands of patients gain their health and their lives back, we've heard it over and over again: If only they could have gotten this treatment sooner.
What Would Their Lives Have Been Like If They Had Found Restorative Medicine Sooner?
Here's how it's turned out for a very fortunate 15 year old young man who was given a very similar diagnosis and prognosis as Sally had been given 30 years earlier (see story above). Rather than struggling with poor health for the next 30 years, his health has already been restored!
Ryan Rossi from Thomaston, CT had always been energetic and involved in sports. He started getting so tired that his mother suspected he had Mononucleosis. On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being normal) Ryan felt like a 3. Doctors diagnosed him with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (because of high antibody levels), which is an autoimmune disease, and hypothyroidism (because of high TSH levels). He was told he'd have to take thyroid medicine for the rest of his life.
Ryan was treated by Dr. Friedman with herbal medicines and the W-T
3protocol of T3therapy and he's done wonderfully. He's a normal 15 yr old kid again. He's what he was before. He had no complaints of any kind from the treatment. He breezed right through the whole thing which lasted about 5 months. He's been off the treatment for weeks and still feels great (10 out of 10) and is not taking any medicines.
By the way, neither Hashimoto's nor Hypothyroidism are supposed to be curable, but are supposed to require treatment for life. It's interesting to think that Ryan might not have even realized that he was receiving world class health care that promises to be the health care of tomorrow. A wealthy man couldn't have gotten the same treatment as Ryan with all the money in the world, if he didn't know where to find it. If the wealthy man went to the most prestigious medical centers in the world he'd probably get the standard management of the day (because those centers are the ones that set those standards) and might end up suffering right along with a lot of other people. 100 years ago only the wealthy could obtain specialized health care because of the travel that might be involved. But now that searching and communicating can be done so easily and inexpensively on the Internet, it's no longer so much a matter of who can pay for it. Now, it's more a matter of who can find it.
Although Sally and Ryan were treated successfully for thyroid problems above, Restorative Medicine can cure many kinds of health problems, not just the kind that show up on thyroid blood tests (see Charles' story below).
How Would Their Lives Have Turned Out If They Hadn't Found This Treatment Approach?
...It got so bad, I went from doctor to doctor looking for help. I had gone to five different doctors. They all ran tests and found nothing...I was so irritable my wife was afraid to talk to me at times. I am 61 years old, but I looked well over 100. My family and everyone else that knew me thought I was dying. I guess maybe I did too...
I know without a doubt that [this] treatment saved my life. After starting treatment and getting my temperature up, I gradually returned to normal, almost from a point of no return. -- Charles Cook Full Story
Without Proper Treatment, Poor Health Can Get Worse In A Downward Spiral
So many people feel so bad they can barely function and yet they are often led to believe -- by doctors, friends, family, and perhaps even themselves -- that there is nothing wrong with them!
"It's just stress." Yes, stress can cause healthy people to feel bad, so imagine what it can do to sick people! They're so sick they know something has to be wrong...there has to be. But still, after all they've heard from so many people they can sometimes wonder,
It may be good to endure things well but where's the glory in staying sick if there's something that can be done about it?
...I too had most of the symptoms. I think there were 9 [out of about 60 listed] that I didn't have. I don't have any of the symptoms today. Today I can say I am well and feeling wonderful, I have been off the T
3now for almost a month. I too had debilitating anxiety, panic attacks and depression. Fatigue, migraines, weight gain, uncontrollable crying. You name it I had it. I was so bad that in Aug 97 I had to sell my business and stay home and try and find out what was wrong with me and try and get well. It took 6 months of Doctors and many tests (I really thought I was dying) to find out that everyone said I was fine. Now if that is what fine is I can live without it. I began to wonder about my own sanity. Maybe I was going crazy. ...I just knew this was for me...the first thing I noticed in the first 5 days was the panic and anxiety attacks were not happening as often. By the 3rd week they were gone...I just kept getting better and better...I stayed on the T3until the end of August and weaned off and have been off almost a month and I even feel better then I did on the medicine. It is wonderful to feel this way. I can't ever remember feeling so good and energized. Also the weight is just coming off--never had that happen before. 20lbs now...I must admit if I needed to stay on the medicine the rest of my life to feel good I would do it. It has saved my life and sanity. I am looking forward to life and all the adventures and journeys that lay ahead for me now with excitement. If there is anything I can do to help anyone out there, please let me know.

How Do You Want To Spend The Rest Of Your Life?
Restorative Medicine isn't a cure-all and it doesn't work for everyone but it does work extremely well for a great majority of candidates. We don't know of another approach that even significantly improves the symptoms, much less that restores health to the point that the symptoms remain improved even off treatment. Why? We believe that the reason the symptoms improve with treatment is the same reason the symptoms remain improved after treatment: because the Restorative Medicine treatments are correcting underlying problems.
Persistent cure can save you the burden and expense of ongoing treatment, not to mention many other side benefits of having truly good health (like having more of you for your family, actually enjoying vacations, easily accomplishing more at home and at work). And there are other side benefits, just as one health problem can lead to another, so too, can correcting one health problem make it easier for another to get better. Restorative Medicine can often turn the downward spiral of "worse and worse," into the upward spiral of "better and better."
Too Good To Be True?
"The first time I heard about [it] my ears perked up. They were all there, all the symptoms I had been complaining about for years. The only thing that was missing was my name. I was skeptical. The axiom, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is," came to mind. Still I couldn't help but wonder could it be true? ...Hadn't all the doctors I had been to for years told me that nothing was wrong...I was told I needed to lose the fat...That was all well and good, but how was I to accomplish it when I was just too utterly exhausted to drag myself out of the chair?
The decision to see Dr. Wilson came after my daughter, Cathy, showed me a brochure about Wilson's Syndrome. She informed me that several women in her office, including a mutual friend, were getting this treatment and they were all having great results. I discussed with our mutual friend the results she was realizing from the treatment. She was very pleased and I was very impressed.
...first benefits I noticed after beginning to take T
3...improved sleep patterns...decreased chronic fatigue...the weight began to come off...I was able to increase my exercise. As I increased my exercise, more weight came off and my energy level continued to rise. It's amazing, but I have become hooked on exercise - me, the original couch potato. Things are looking up. Friends and acquaintances, especially those who haven't seen me in several months keep remarking, "You look marvelous, you look 25 years younger." That's good to hear, but what is really great is that I feel 40 years younger. Oh I forgot to say, I'll be 62 in August and haven't felt this good since my early 20's.When I realize just how much help I have received with this treatment and how much better I feel and look it seems almost miraculous and the solution was so simple. I keep trying to spread the news to others who are suffering as I did for so long; not sick, just half dead: there is help out there." -- Joyce Carnefix Full Story
Why Don't All Doctors Know About It?
Restorative Medicine is a whole new orientation toward health care than most doctors are taught in medical school and in their Continuing Medical Education. Doctors are usually trained to treat symptoms, not correct problems.
Go after symptoms and you're likely to still
have both symptoms and problems, succeed at eliminating problems and you won't
have either. The very same techniques that make this approach so different are
the same techniques that are making people well after doctors have told them
that there's nothing they could do for them.
How Are Doctors Finding Out About It?
Doctors are hearing about Wilson's Thyroid Syndrome primarily from their patients and other colleagues.
I was first introduced to Wilson's Thyroid Syndrome approximately 7-8 years ago by a patient who had a number of problems and who reads profusely. She piqued my interest and I began researching. I read the Doctor's Manual and have probably at this point in time, treated well over 500 patients with amazingly good results. -- Dr. Charles Resseger, DO, President, American Academy of Environmental Medicine

What Do You Have To Lose?
In September 1989, I was referred by my own GYN to an endocrinologist for thyroid testing. I complained of debilitating fatigue, headaches, depression, and rather frightening episodes of monthly PMS.
The endocrinologist diagnosed me as being hypothyroid and prescribed Synthroid. In a follow up visit in January 1990, I explained that I felt no better than before I began taking the medication - I literally felt no difference and all the complaints were still present.
The doctor I was seeing said that obviously these symptoms were caused by something other than the hypothyroidism. He suggested I see my "regular" doctors since there was nothing more he could do for me, and I was to continue taking the Synthroid for the rest of my life.
Needless to say, this was very disappointing, but I really had no alternative and simply did not know where to go or what to do next. My mother suggested that I had nothing to lose by seeing Dr. Wilson since the fatigue and headaches were at a level that made daily functioning extremely difficult.
I was astounded that the profile for Wilson's Thyroid Syndrome seemed to be tailored to me personally. Then when I went, I subsequently began charting my temperature and found it was always well below 97.4 and I began to hope that I had finally come to the right doctor.
When I began taking the liothyronine [T
3compound], I literally felt better immediately and within a few days felt better than I had ever felt in my life. The fatigue was gone, the headaches were gone, and the depression was gone.Perhaps even more phenomenal, was that days prior to my first menstrual cycle after beginning the medication, I, for the first time in as long as I could remember, experienced no discomfort whatsoever- no mood swings, no cravings, no depression, no irrational behavior, and no cramping. Needless to say I was ecstatic and was almost non-believing that I could feel so generally good.
The list of the additional physical changes that have taken place during my treatment would be extensive...I am even-tempered and no longer have severe moods (my husband will attest to this)...
A most significant result is the absence of fatigue. It is simply something I remember from the past and no longer experience. The depression which had begun to make me question my overall sanity is also gone. My family and friends quite frankly think I'm a different person and are pleased with the new me. I feel like a new person. The primary benefit that I have gained from my treatment is complete absence of any physical ailments, symptoms, or complaints, and the general sense of overall wellbeing. I feel well physically and mentally. It feels almost miraculous. I can only, in understatement, say thank you... for giving me my life back. -- Suzanne G. Full Story
For me, personally, the [W-T
3] Protocol has given me a new lease on life. If the results turn out to be short-lived, I don't care. The benefits to my current quality of life are priceless. You have nothing to lose and much to gain by trying the Protocol BY THE BOOK.
Healthy futures for all of us! -- Gail

3 therapy)Many people don't fully realize how badly they are feeling
until they get better with Wilson's T3
Therapy. 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 W-T3
therapy.
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
Therapy 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
RT3
(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 keys to proper W-T3
therapy are:
3
medicine "The right kind of thyroid medicine" means that T3
is best tolerated when well-prepared 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 T3 capsules must be prescribed by a
doctor.
"Given in the right way" means that if Wilson's Thyroid
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
Therapy or W-T3
therapy 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. Wilson's T3
therapy 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 T
3in 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 T3is used. In addition, the source of the T3can be critical. I have seen patients who weren't doing well on T3supplied by one of at least five different compounding pharmacies from Florida to Virginia. In every case, they improved when they started taking T3from Wellness Health & Pharmaceuticals (800-227-2627) in Alabama. This appears to be due to the specific techniques employed at Wellness Health & Pharmaceuticals to ensure an adequate dispersal of the hormone in the carrier."Dr. Stephen Leighton
Winston-Salem, NC
What Can Go Wrong With The W-T3
Therapy?
As with any treatment approach, there are some things that
can go wrong. There are 4 components involved in Wilson's-T3
therapy:
Unfavorable things can happen in any one of these components.
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 T3
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.
3 / Sustained Release and the treatment of Wilson's Thyroid SyndromeThe T3
medicine that is currently on the market (Cytomel) is instant release. But Dr.
Wilson and other doctors have found that Wilson's T3
therapy is far more effective and far better tolerated when the T3
is mixed with a sustained release agent. This appears to be best accomplished by
skilled and experienced pharmacists with specialized equipment. This equipment
is capable of evenly mixing a small vial (the size of your little finger) of
pure T3 powder, into an amount of material that would fill about
half of a bathtub. It is essentially impossible to make this medicine very well
by hand using a mortar and pestle, and many pharmacists seem to underestimate
how carefully the medicine needs to be mixed (see previous
page).
Once the material is mixed it is usually packed into capsules of varying strengths that are to be taken twice a day. The capsules are prescribed by doctors.
When Dr. Wilson first started treating Wilson's Thyroid
Syndrome, Cytomel (instant release) was all he used. When he had about 300
patients at a time on Cytomel, he would get about 6-8 beeper pages over the
weekend from patients having complaints and 2-3 of those calls would be about
some pretty worrisome side effects. When Dr. Wilson thought of and started using
T3 mixed with a
sustained release agent (see
WTS history) he
would go 6 months without a page.
When T3
with a sustained release agent is taken properly according to the Doctor's
Manual, it is generally very well tolerated and the benefits can be amazing.
