Wilson's Thyroid Syndrome: A Reversible Thyroid Problem [Paperback]

E. Denis Wilson MD (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 1991

Formerly titled, Wilson's Syndrome -- The Miracle of Feeling Well, this book describes a recently discovered reversible thyroid problem.

If you're suffering from symptoms of low thyroid function, and your thyroid blood tests are normal, that may mean that your symptoms are curable! Many patients with symptoms like Fatigue, Depression, Fluid Retention, Easy weight gain, PMS, Headaches, Migraines, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Itchiness, Insomnia, and many others, respond very well to the right kind of thyroid medicine given in the right way, even when their thyroid tests are normal. And more importantly, the symptoms often remain improved even after the treatment’s been discontinued.

This thyroid problem, Wilson’s Thyroid Syndrome, is reversible in the same way that certain female hormone problems are reversible. For example, some women with irregular periods can be cycled on birth control pills for several months to regulate their bleeding. Then, when they are weaned off the pill, their periods often remain regular even after the pill’s been discontinued. Wilson’s Thyroid Syndrome is a similar reversible hormone imbalance that affects the thyroid system instead of the female hormone system.

This book is an excellent description of the syndrome and its manifestations and introduces the treatment of WTS. It fully explains what it feels like to have WTS so people can get a very good idea of whether or not they think they may be suffering from it.

If people do believe that they may have the condition, the Doctor’s Manual for Wilson’s Thyroid Syndrome explains the treatment protocol in complete detail.

Editorial Reviews

Review

90 to 100% of patients I treat for Wilson's Thyroid Syndrome improve. When there aren't a lot of complicating factors patients are amazed because it's wonderful. It just explains 17 years of misery. -- Dr. Ian Nesbitt, ND; Billings, MT

I have found that there are patients with Wilson's Thyroid Syndrome everywhere. I have found them in my own family practice that I was not previously aware of. I have known for many years that there was a patient with all the symptoms of hypothyroidism with normal blood tests. I could never explain it until Dr. Wilson's wonderful discovery. It now makes so much sense to me. -- -Dr. Charles Resseger, DO ; Norwalk, OH

I see at least 50% symptom resolution in the patients I treat with T3. -- Dr. Sandra Denton, MD; Anchorage, AK

About the Author

Dr. E. Denis Wilson, MD graduated from the University of South Florida College of Medicine in 1985, and then trained in Family Practice. He first became interested in sub-clinical hypothyroidism upon reading Dr. Barnes' book on the subject in late 1988. He immediately began concentrating on thyroid hormone replacement therapy. Word spread and before long he was seeing more than 30 patients a day for thyroid, some days with 10 new patients. He soon developed a new paradigm for thyroid treatment. He was the first doctor to conceive of and implement "Sustained release T3" in the treatment of patients. With the T3 therapy protocol he developed, patients' symptoms often remain improved even after the treatment has been discontinued. The treatment often lasts just a matter of months.

By 1991 Dr. Wilson had written the book, "Wilson's Syndrome - - The Miracle of Feeling Well". He's also written the highly recommended "Doctor's Manual for Wilson's Syndrome" which describes the treatment protocol in full detail. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars It Gave Me Back My Life, November 9, 2000

By 

Nikki (Oregon) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wilson's Syndrome: The Miracle of Feeling Well (Paperback)

Dr Wilson's book and a Doctor that listened to me gave me back my life. About 4 years ago I sold my business because I was to sick to continue. I decided I needed to go on a seach to find out what was wrong with me. My health was at the point that I thought I was dying and all the doctors I went to couldn't figure out what was causing my problems. I even thought maybe I was going crazy it must all me in my mind. I was doing all the right things resting, taking time for me to heal and recoup, eating right, taking vitamins and I just kept getting worse. I was exhausted had mood swings, depression, anxiety and panic attacks where I was afraid to leave my house. Nightmare, headaches. Just to name a few of the things I was plegded with. I then found Doctors Wilsons web site and read all I could. Sent for his books and headed for my Doctors, saying I think I found what is wrong with me. She and I went on a learning journey together. I began Dr Wilson methods and about 6 months later was on the road to a life that I had forgotten about. It took a while to get healthly, but it did happen. I continue to do great and hope that everyone that hears about Wilson's Syndrome will give it a try and fine the life out there that is theres to enjoy. ... . ... . Good Luck

4.0 out of 5 stars Must Read For Anyone With Low Body Temperature, September 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Wilson's Syndrome: The Miracle of Feeling Well (Paperback)

Dr. Wilson explains how DTSF/decreased thyroid system function can cause numerous debilitating symptoms, strikingly similar to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and not show up on routine blood tests. He explains how treatment with the active hormone T3 using his protocol has provided therapy to many patients. Case studies and discussion of symptoms are provided.

A Doctor's manual is also available which provides complete detail for treating Wilson's Syndrome.

This book could be an answer to prayer for a multitude of people and combined with the Doctor's manual gets 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doctor Recommended, Dr. Wilson has changed Endocrinology!, April 5, 2005

Dr Tedde M. Rinker (Los Altos, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Wilson's Thyroid Syndrome: A Reversible Thyroid Problem (Paperback)

As a physician who has treated various types of thyroid disorders for many years, I have found that I have not been satisfied that many of my patients did not feel well, and did not have a real or complete improvement in their metabolic rate or hypothyroid symptoms, even when I had gotten their lab tests into the "normal" range. I read some more and tried other treatments. I added some Cytomel (short acting T3) and sometimes Armour thyroid which has both T4 and T3. I would get varied results, but not complete recovery. NEVER did any of my patients become able to say that their temperatures were on the average consistently around 98.6 and that they were able to stop the thyroid medication and be symptom free. When HUNDREDS of Dr. Wilson's patients were saying this, patients with what we physicians would call 3rd degree hypothyroid symptoms....that they became 100% symptom free and were able to stop taking thyroid medication..in fact MOST of Dr. Wilson's patients were able to say that, I felt that possibly this doctor had discovered something about thyroid function that was not in our textbooks of Physiology and Endocrinology. I took his course for physicians last year, and realized that anyone judging this treatment from "outside the box" has no idea what they are saying. Most critics, such as Dr. Weil, have not even read the book, nor taken the course. This treatment is a complete paradigm shift in the understanding of underfunctioning thyroid, and in the very effective resolution of the problem. The treatment is quite complex and requires close medical supervision and a lot of patient support, and a thorough understanding of what you are trying to accomplish in improving thyroid receptor function. But amazingly, it works! It works for patients with Hashimoto's Thyoriditis (an autoimmune disorder where one produces antibodies to essential elements of thyroid function), It works with Primary or Secondary Hypothyroidism. It works in patients who have had their thyroid glands irradiated or removed!! It helps because the focus is on "refreshing" the thyroid receptors on the cell sites...improving their sensitivity. Physicians who want to learn more should take his course, but can learn a great deal if they are able to set aside their "pre programmed" learning and make room for brand new information by reading the Doctor's Manual, cover to cover, starting at the beginning. Anyone can do this, but a physician has to get over his or her ego first in order to see that this is a different and valid perspective. I went back to my practice and started with my worst, long term, lowest functioning hypothyroid patients, and they are now sending me flowers and "thank you" notes and telling me too that I've given them back their lives. So, doctor, do you want to be smug and feel "right" with the majority, or do you want your patients to get better? You can go to Dr. Wilson's website. www.wtsmed.com , and learn more about this. You can download the manual for free. You can try to understand it or not. But anyone reading this who feels they have a consistent low body temperature, fatigue, dry skin, dry hair, inolerance for temperature change, sleep problems, frequent infections with slow healing....you should check out this website and feel some hope!
