What is Wilsons Syndrome?
A. Around 1990, Dr. Dennis Wilson identified a condition in which the thyroid tests are in the ‘normal’ range but patients have low body temperature and many symptoms suggestive of hypothyroidism. The old name for this condition was Euthyroid Sick Syndrome. Dr. Wilson defined it more clearly, including the role of Reverse T3 (RT3). He called it Wilson’s Syndrome and developed a therapeutic regiment that helps many sufferers. His pioneering work brilliantly recommends te use of slow release T3 as opposed to the quick release. I have observed that T3 therapy is much more effective if the adrenals are supported. In my own experience, I have found that, when T3 is needed, using lower doses of T3 along with adrenal support produces fewer undesirable effects.
