Dr. Wilson's Comments
The WT3 Protocol Can Help Many
People Recover
There are a lot of patients that doctors think of as being "fine"
even though they complain of fatigue, headaches, depression, easy
weight gain, irritability, and many other symptoms. I know, because
I also had been trained to think that way.
Most doctors have been trained in medical school to think that
if the patients' tests are fine there probably isn't anything significantly
wrong. Many years ago, a patient brought me a book that introduced
me to the idea that the body temperature might be a good indicator
of the metabolic rate even if blood tests are normal.
Using body temperature as a guide, I began to see that patients
often responded dramatically well to a certain thyroid medicine
given in a certain way even though their thyroid blood tests were
normal. I was surprised because that contradicted what I had been
taught in school. What surprised me even more was when many of the
patients remained improved even after the treatment had been discontinued.
Thus, not only did I see sick people with normal tests get better,
I saw them stay better. This was eye-opening to me because it clearly
demonstrated that restoration of health is often possible.
So many times, we as doctors have been trained to think of health
problems as something wrong that needs to be managed, instead of
as something that can possibly be corrected.
How do we know when a treatment is actually correcting a problem
instead of just covering symptoms? To me, when the symptoms remain
improved even after the treatment's been discontinued, that's a
very promising sign that some correction has taken place. On the
other hand, if symptoms return once a treatment is stopped that
suggests that the treatment was just masking symptoms.
WTSmed Supplements Can Help Many People Recover
The fact that Dr. Friedman was seeing persistent improvements in
his patients managed with herbs is what really peaked my interest
in his work. He wasn't only seeing complaints improve with his herbal
formulas, he was seeing them often remain improved even after the
herbs were discontinued.
To me, that's hugely significant. I knew restoration of health
was possible because I had seen it before with the WT3 protocol. But
I think a lot of doctors don't believe patients with chronic health
problems can recover with herbs or other approaches because they've
never seen such patients recover with conventional treatment. It
may seem strange because one might presume that the whole point
of medical treatment is to help people recover their health. But
in real life, that is rarely the case. Sadly, the point of conventional
medical treatment for chronic health problems is usually to help
patients manage the symptoms of their "incurable" problems.
I first came in contact with Dr. Friedman in early 2001 when he
was a Professor of Endocrinology at the University of Bridgeport
Naturopathic Medical School. He was writing an endocrinology textbook
and invited me to contribute to his chapter on Wilson's Temperature
Syndrome. Later, I was a guest lecturer on WTS in his endocrinology
class.
We also began working together on a research proposal on the use
of the WT3 protocol in the treatment of Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome that is being backed by a major medical college. Along
the way I became more familiar with Dr. Friedman's use of natural
medicines (such as herbs), and was very intrigued by the results
he was seeing.
I even told Dr. Friedman of some unusual symptoms my wife was experiencing
and asked him if he had any suggestions. He did, and by taking herbal
formulas he had recommended, my wife began feeling better almost
immediately. Within a week she lost 4 pounds, felt less puffy and
more toned, and she has continued to improve over time. My daughter
and I have also benefited significantly from herbal formulas Dr.
Friedman recommended, when other approaches hadn't worked. I've
seen first hand that certain herbal formulas can often provide a
lot of benefit.
I really enjoy taking WTSmed Supplements because of the restorative
effects I've seen in myself. I've also had the opportunity to interview
many of Dr. Friedman's patients and many have related that their
complaints are remaining improved off the supplements.
The WT3 Protocol and WTSmed Supplements
Combined Can Help Even More People Recover
For more than a year, Dr. Friedman has been designing and using
herbal products in conjunction with the WT3 protocol.
He has created some formulas that can often extend the benefits
of the WT3 protocol and others that can diminish the
chances of negative effects with the WT3 treatment.
Seeing how complementary and synergistic the WT3
therapy and the herbal formulas were to one another, Dr. Friedman
thought many other doctors and patients could benefit from the herbal
formulas he had designed. I certainly agreed. In fact, we chose
the name WTS (which stands for Wilson's Temperature Syndrome) Medicines
to reflect that synergy.
Since Wilson's Temperature Syndrome affects the metabolism, it can
cause a multitude of seemingly unrelated symptoms. And, the WTS med Supplements can affect essentially the same complaints (and more) but
in different ways. Thus, where the WT3 protocol for Wilson's
Thyroid Syndrome doesn't help, WTSmed Supplements often can; and where
WTSmed Supplements don't help, WT3 often can. And WT3
and WTSmed Supplements together can often help when neither can alone.
I think what bears the most emphasis is not that these combined
modalities are helpful is such a wide variety of health problems,
but that the symptoms often remain improved even after the
treatments have been discontinued (which is why we like to use the
term Restorative Medicine). To me, that is what is so interesting
and exciting about these solutions.
Several other factors also set our solutions apart,
- The combining of hormones (like the T
3 in the WT3
protocol) with herbs (as in WTSmed Supplements).
- The combining of herbs from different cultures or traditions
and from different parts of the world
- Using herbs that were extremely popular and successful about
100 years ago but that have been forgotten or overlooked (out
of vogue).
These factors appear to explain the great results we are seeing
in otherwise difficult to manage chronic health problems.
