Fixing The Problems

Please Note: In the section of this web site on Identifying The Problem(s) we looked at what the body does and what can go wrong. If you read that section first, then this section on Fixing The Problem(s), or helping the body recover, will make more sense.

In the Identifying The Problem(s) section we discussed how

• health is defined as the body functioning well
• the organs of the body work together to provide the body's overall function
• the function of the body is accomplished by organs working together
• a problem with organ function can affect the metabolism
• a problem with the metabolism can affect all organ function
• this can result in a downward spiral of poor health

In this section on Fixing The Problem(s) we're going to discuss

• solutions that can often restore the metabolism
• solutions that can often restore organ function
• how they can be used to often result in an upward spiral of restored health.

When To Use Which?

Our solutions are very versatile and can be used in a wide variety of combinations to suit different preferences and circumstances.

Our solutions include:

• Wilson's T3 protocol, or WT3 protocol for short. The WT3 protocol is an excellent treatment approach for a slow metabolism due to Wilson's Temperature Syndrome and is administered under a healthcare practitioner's care.
• WTSmed Supplements which are excellent nonprescription ways to assist in the improvement of various types of impaired organ function. These include herbal formulas that provide natural dietary substances that assist in maintaining nutritional balance, giving the body adaptive signals, or having direct supporting effects.

In order to see which combination would be best to use to suit a certain preference or circumstance we will now discuss

• the possible combinations
• some background information
• and a flowchart that will help guide you through the possible combinations of when to use the WT3 protocol, WTSmed Supplements, or both.

Possible Combinations

In the combinations that follow, we will sometimes use WT3 as shorthand for the WT3 protocol. The combinations below are only intended to enable you to see the different possibilities. You don't need to worry about the dizzying array of possibilities, the flowchart will guide you easily through them; but it would be helpful for you to look over the possibilities and familiarize yourself with them before going on to the flowchart.

The illustrations in the possibilities below refer back to the discussion found on Identifying The Problem(s) about how the organs of the body work together like the trunk and branches of a tree. In those illustrations and the ones that follow, an impaired metabolism is represented by a yellow trunk (instead of the healthy brown), and impaired organ function function is represented by yellow leaves (instead of the healthy green).

Complaints and Low Body Temperature

• WT3 alone
• WT3 then WTSmed Supplements
• WTSmed Supplements alone
• WTSmed Supplements then WT3
• WT3 and WTSmed Supplements at the same time

Complaints and Normal Body Temperature

• WTSmed Supplements alone

Background Information On Our Solutions

Our entire approach to [restoring] your health is fundamentally different than most other approaches. This means it will likely be quite different than what you've tried or heard of before, but it may also finally restore your health when nothing else has.

Before reviewing the flow chart it will be good for you to know a little background information first.

• Just as citrus fruits have been found to correct the symptoms of scurvy, other plants have been found over the centuries to be very effective in managing other problems. Most of our WTSmed Supplements (which include herbs and other natural substances) are each specifically aimed to address up to a few particular health problems due to impaired organ function. *
• Conversely, the WT3 protocol and WTSmed Supplements directed toward Wilson's Temperature Syndrome and the metabolism may often have an effect on many organ functions. *
• Many people are able to tolerate the WT3 protocol quite well without any side effects. When people do get side effects they are typically short-term, not long-term. Since T3 is a natural hormone found in everyone's body since birth, it doesn't directly damage any of the body's tissues as prescribed by your healthcare practitioner. It is possible that existing health problems could be aggravated by short-term side effects so it is important that WT3 therapy be taken carefully according to the WT3 protocol and according to your healthcare practitioner's supervision.
• The side effects of the WT3 protocol may include fluid retention, achiness, jitteriness, irritability, increased awareness of heart beat and increased heart rate.
• We have herbal formulas called Cardiac Px Capsules* and Cardiac Px Titrate* formulated to minimize any cardiovascular complaints while on the WT3 protocol. In fact, even people with a history of irregular heart function (or rhythm) have been able to tolerate the WT3 protocol well when using Cardiac Px. Some doctors give Cardiac Px to all patients on the WT3 protocol. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
• People can sometimes notice a difference within hours or days of taking the WT3 protocol apparently because of the direct medicinal effect it has on the metabolism. WTSmed Supplements, on the other hand, often seem to provide nourishment and stimulus for the organs to do the work, more than the WTS meds doing the work themselves. Though some of our herbs are rapidly acting, the benefits of others are evident over a couple of weeks, or months (we'll tell you what you can expect with each formula). And the person's complaints can sometimes even get a little worse before they get better. *
• Although people can often start feeling better with WTS meds within the first few days, it can sometimes take a couple of weeks before getting noticeably better. WTSmed Supplements are aimed at conditions, not complaints of conditions. Consequently, when people want to try WTSmed Supplements we suggest that they decide beforehand to try taking them daily for a month or two, not a day or two. People who try WTSmed Supplements without working with a doctor sometimes don't do as well because they tend not to take the WTSmed Supplements as seriously and tend not to take them as consistently as indicated. *
• Thus, it's extremely helpful to work with a doctor that has experience with WTSmed Supplements so s/he can advise you as to what to expect, when to expect it, and when to hang in there. Unfortunately, although the herbs have been used for centuries, our line of herbal formulas (WTSmed Supplements) are new and not many doctors have a lot of experience with them yet. *
• WTSmed Supplements are best used as part of an overall health recovery plan that includes a look at your diet, exercise, and emotional habits. This is often best accomplished with the guidance and support of a knowledgeable physician. *
• Some opponents of herbal medicine say that herbs don't have any physiologic effects on the body. And then they'll turn around and say that herbs are harmful. On the other hand, some proponents of herbs will say that they can't do any harm, only good. We say that the right herbs, prepared in the right way, can do a lot of good when used properly. We say they do have physiological effects and can work amazingly well. For that reason, they ought to be handled with prudence. Thus, a couple of our formulas are sold only to doctors. One of those, for example, is Cardiac Px Titrate. It's very safe, but if a person drank the whole bottle, there is a chance that his blood pressure could go down a little which would not be a good thing under certain circumstances. If you want to use Cardiac Px (which is a wonderful formula to use), simply ask your physician to contact us on the Physician Line at 800-420-5801. He/She can get it from us and will subsequently dispense it to you under their supervision.*
• On the other hand, our other formulas are available directly to the public. Although we encourage you to work with a physician, it is not required. If you are working with a doctor, you can give us his/her name and phone number when you order and we will be happy to tell him/her more about our herbal formulas and/or the WT3 protocol.
• WTSmed Supplements are for professional use only and are not sold in stores.
