Also, it helps me learn the stuff better myself. Dr. was the first, as far as I know, to devise the treatment plan with the compounded, timed-release T3. I would think that most docs who use it are at least familiar with his treatment protocols even if they do things a little differently with it. My doc, for example, believes in a slower ramping up of the T3 doseage than Dr. recommends. Other docs I've read about feel that there should be more emphasis placed on the heart rate in addition to the body temp and then set a steady doseage for awhile that keeps the body temp up but the heart rate below 100 bpm. Dr. says the ideal candidate typically has lower than normal body temperatures. About 93% of cases patients' temperatures avearage less than 97.8. (Mine, for example was averaging 97.2.) The hypo symptoms classically come on after some major physical or emotional stress such as childbirth (#1 cause), divorce, death of a loved one, job or family stress, surgery or accident, excessive dieting, etc. The symptoms can persist even after the stress is gone.Certain nationalities are more prone to developing WTS--Irish, Scot, Welsh, American Indian, Russian. It seems about 80% of sufferers of WTS are women. Low body temp has everything to do with the symptoms. Dr. is pretty convinced by now that if a person with such symptoms has a temp reading of 98.6 or above then their thermometer is faulty and a new thermometer should be purchased and used to determine the correct temp! " If people do not have low body temperatures, then they do not have 's Thyroid Syndrome and therefore, need not pursue this avenue any further. " he says. Also, he states: " Note: Some people have noticed that a large portion of our population are running temperatures that are lower than the accepted normal of 98.6. Interestingly, rather than ...being concerned as to why our temperatures might be running lower these days, they seem to prefer simply lowering the accepted normal, and consider it healthy. " This is what happened to me for years. So many doctors and nurses would read my temp at 97 or 97. 4 and say, " Oh, that's just normal for you! " Gag. But if I'd been running a 100 degree fever, they'd have been all over me trying to figure out what was wrong! IMO, anyone with a temp below 98.4 is suspect for WTS. During the past year, using the T3, I've raised my body temp from 97.2 to 98.3-98.4. I still have some hypo symptoms at that temp! So, even if your temp is " just a little low, " I'd recommend you check out the treatment with this doc in Boston. I hope I've answered your questions. Good luck!
