A symptom of low body temperature
Asthma
As mentioned previously, asthma may be due to changes in histamine physiology. Regardless of the mechanism, asthma has been seen to follow the pattern of presentation of Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome symptoms and frequently responds well to proper liothyronine treatment. Many patients that I have seen who have been less than adequately controlled on even several asthma medicines at a time, have been able to wean off their asthma medicine, while enjoying resolution of their asthma symptoms with normalization of their body temperature patterns If the asthma symptoms, come on later in life (as opposed to childhood asthma) especially after a major physical, mental, or emotional stress, together with other classic symptoms of Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome and low body temperature patterns, then it is quite possible that the patient’s asthma will respond to proper T3 therapy.
From the book — how this is usually treated
Asthma Medicines
Asthma is not commonly considered to be related to DTSF. However, that it can be related has been seen to the extent that the asthma associated with Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome frequently follows the pattern of onset and resolution of the other symptoms of Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome (coming on together in a group after a stress and resolving with that group with proper thyroid treatment). The asthma, when untreated, can be quite severe at times with some patients even being hospitalized and requiring maintenance asthma medicine therapy to control their symptoms. Again, careful history can provide clues that a person’s asthma may be related to Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome. Asthma is frequently a disease of childhood that people outgrow, but Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome patients sometimes first develop asthma in adulthood. Whether the symptoms of asthma begin in childhood or adulthood, the patient should always be asked if they presented after a major stress and if they came on in association with any of the other symptoms of MED caused by low body temperature patterns, to see, if by chance, the asthma may be related to Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome. Many times these patients respond much better to thyroid hormone treatment than they do to asthma medicines, especially in the sense that their asthma sometimes stays persistently improved even after treatment has been discontinued. I have seen many patients who, when I first saw them, had been taking asthma medicine for years (even 10 to 20 years). Upon careful history one sometimes finds that these patients’ asthma began after they were having a period of severe marital problems, financial collapse, or other severe stress, with their asthma persisting even after the stress had passed. Many of these patients have been able to wean off their asthma medicine (beta-agonist pills and bronchodilator inhalers) even completely. Their asthma sometimes even remains persistently improved even after the thyroid hormone treatment has been gradually tapered off and discontinued.
Dr. Wilson on this symptom
Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome Symptoms
The symptoms of Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome are classic symptoms of slow metabolism as in hypothyroidism. A patient doesn’t have to have all the symptoms to respond well to T3 therapy. In fact, they may only have one.
Think twice before you eat those plasticizers
We all know that “fast food” isn’t the healthiest choice when it comes to eating. It’s generally low in nutrients and high in “bad’ fats and calories. But as it turns out, there may also be an additional layer of “badness” about it.

Dr. Wilson's take on President Obama's Affordable Care Act... what does this mean for low body temperature and WTS?
Lose weight by stopping wheat?
Most people are intolerant to the wheat that is being produced today in the U.S. It is causing Americans to gain fat in the abdomen and develop Hashimoto's as well.
Where this comes from. A 2015 interview with Dr. Wilson on low body temperature and thyroid hormone expression is indexed on PubMed Central (Integrative Medicine: A Clinician's Journal). Wilson's Temperature Syndrome is not accepted by every medical body — read the disagreement in full.
