Wilson's SyndromeNot to be confused with classic hypothyroidism, Wilson 's Syndrome is a set of numerous symptoms which may be caused by a borderline hypothroidism. You will most likely not hear about Wilson 's Syndrome from your medical physician. It is a condition which is usually detected by alternative medicine practitioners. There are approximately 60 symptoms which may be related to Wilson 's syndrome. Those conditions include fibromyalgia, ADD, adult ADD, ADHD, adult ADHD, even irritable bowel syndrome, autism and Aspergers syndrome. Unfortunately, those 60 symptoms can also caused by a number of other subtle conditions. To help you understand and sort through the confusing array of similar and overlapping symptoms, you can do an online self-assessment of those conditions. The details and link to do so are discussed below. If your self assessment indicates you have Wilson 's syndrome, we recommend you follow a good Mediterranean diet such as the South Beach Diet or Dr. Phil's Diet. An easy test to see how your thyroid is functioning is utilizing an oral, glass mercury thermometer. First, shake the thermometer down then take your temperature under the tongue three times a day at 10 A.M., 1 P.M. and 4 P.M. for three days. Women should not do this during the menstrual period. If your average of the nine numbers is low, you are a candidate for further investigation. Typically, any average below 98.2 is almost certainly a problem and any temperature average between 98.2 and 98.6 can be. Your physician probably has not heard of Wilson 's Syndrome and it may be up to you to give him the literature. He will want to do the standard thyroid blood tests which are T3, T4, and TSH. These tests are not necessarily considered adequate by physicians who diagnose and treat Wilson 's and so if you think you may have it, don't give up because these tests were “normal”. The recommended treatment by Dr. Wilson is using the drug T3. However, if you are more interested in a non-drug approach, you may want to talk to your alternative medicine practitioner about the following products: Thyrotrophin from Standard Process Labs. A whole thyroid product with the T4 removed. Iosol from TPCS Distributors, a water soluble Iodine product which is effective with no known toxicity. Thyrosol from Metagenics company. A good multivitamin and multimineral complex. Vitamin B complex. Your diet should be a good balanced ratio of carbohydrates, protein and fats as found in the Mediterranean diet or the Southbeach diet. You should definitely avoid high sugar foods, caffeine and alcohol. Avoid junk food. Try to also select your foods with a moderate to low glycemic index. You can read about the glycemic index elsewhere on this web site.
