Edward Reisman <[log in to unmask]>
can somebody explain why this past june, after a month on the "wilson's
syndrome" protocol, and taking 90 mcg (twice a day) of time-release T3, my
TSH was 2.59
Here's a better answer from a chat between Jacob Teitalbaum and Mary Shomon:
<Quote> DrT: Mary, we often find that patients require pure sustained release
T-3 hormones. Unlike Dr. Wilson, we do not cycle up and down on the dose.
Instead we find that we adjust it for the dose that feels best and leave it
there for 3 months and taper if possible.
If the patient needs to be on the T3 hormone long term, we check the total T3
levels and make sure the dose is not too high. Do not check TSH--it will make
you and your doctor crazy. More info. on treatment on thyroid is available in
my Fatigued to Fantastic Newsletter. The cause of Wilson's syndrome seems to
be on the body's part to conserve energy during illness or famine, by
lowering your metabolism. Unfortunately, the dropped metabolism sometimes
persists after the illness resolves. This can cause CFS/FMS and the T-3 can
often help this. <unquote>
