WILSONS TEMPERATURE SYNDROME. Low temp = more hormones to mpb scalp.

[cuebreeze]

When the blood temperature is low, More hormones are sent through the blood to the part of the body with the cold blood.

Now, notice when we sleep, it is always on the non mpb areas that we rest out head on (where hairloss generally doesnt occur).

The temperature on the non mpb area would be much warmer as it has pressure put on it for 8hours+ per day.

This temperature i amagine would be much greater than the mpb area when we sleep which would send all the hormones to the part of the scalp which is alot cooler (the mpb area which has no pressure on it) No pressure = low temperature.

This could be treated possibly by heating up the mpb areas blood.

Thyroid and Hair Loss

You probably know, or can easily imagine, that people often lose excessive amounts of hair within months of severe illness, accident, or major surgery. This is one of the ways our bodies cope with stress. It only makes sense that the body would conserve energy on less vital functions (like skin, fingernail, and hair production) in order to be able to expend more energy on more vital functions (like healing and surviving).

You probably also know, or can easily imagine, that after the stress has passed, normal body function (like hair growth) is supposed to come back up to normal again.

But what if there was a condition where people's bodies sometimes remain stuck in "conservation mode" and continue to have problems with hair loss and poor hair growth even after the stress has passed? As it turns out there is such a condition and it's called Wilson's Temperature Syndrome.

Success Story:

I'm on my second round of T3 and have finished my first week of holding for two weeks at 75 mcg per dose...I feel fanatically better!!! I have at least two inches hair growth when it hasn't grown since more than five years ago. I have baby hair growth along my entire hair line and can see more standing up throughout the top of my head. I still am fighting acne from week to week, but far less than before. I have regular bowel function restored to my great relief!

The T3 that Rhonda mentioned above is a thyroid hormone. The connection between thyroid and hair loss is well known. When the thyroid system becomes unbalanced, either going high or low, hair loss can result. Female hormone imbalances can also result in hair loss. And under stress there can be big changes in the adrenal hormones. Thus, whenever the body is thrown into imbalance, hair loss can result.

When people are thrown into stress, their metabolisms can naturally slow down, with their temperatures dropping, helping them to conserve energy. Some people are better at slowing down and conserving energy under stress than others. The people that can slow down the best are logically better at surviving famine. People who survive famine tend to pass this trait to their children. The people who slow down more easily are also the ones that are more prone to get stuck that way. Wilson's Temperature Syndrome (WTS) tends to be more common in people whose ancestors survived famine (like Irish, American Indian, Scot, Welsh, Russian, Polish...people who are part Irish and part American Indian seem especially prone).

WTS is more common in women. Women are more hormonally flexible and can more readily get stuck in a hormonal imbalance. WTS is characterized by low temperatures and normal thyroid blood tests. The blood tests are normal but the shock is still there and is manifested by the persistently low temperature and symptoms.

Some people are able to gain their health back again by getting their own temperatures back up with diet, exercise, and herbal support such as, ThyroCare, Adaptogen, Healthy Foundation.

Success Story:

After reading your literature, I decided to give ThyroCare a try. I have recently started taking 2 a day (once in the morning and again in the evening) and I can say that I've noticed an improvement in how I feel. I do not get as fatigued, my nails are growing again, my hair isn't falling out, and my temperature is evening out to about 98.3 consistently.

Thank you,

Some people require a special thyroid protocol to get their temperatures up.

Success Story:

...My hair was thinning for about 6 months before it finally gave up and just fell out all together. I would lose four or five handfuls in the shower every morning. It would come out in clumps when I brushed my hair. I really noticed it when my part kept getting wider and wider. It was extremely stressful, especially since I had always prided myself on my thick, wavy hair. Once I cut it all off and started on the T3 therapy, plus the change to a high protein/low carb diet, it started growing like crazy. I covered up with bandanas for about 3 months (I had one to match every outfit! )) until my friends finally convinced me I looked fine. Once it started growing back, it came in thick. Really thick. And it's growing pretty fast too. Less than a year after being totally bald, my hair was just reaching my shoulders. It's so thick my friends are jealous.
...This really works.

Low body temperatures are more than enough to explain hair loss and low body temperatures can often be corrected.

Understandably, people that have hair loss due to low temperatures are going to have difficulty growing back hair if their temperature is not restored to normal. If the problem's not corrected, how can the symptom go away?

To be sure, recovery upon normalization of body temperature can sometimes be miraculous (just like when any problem is solved). However, we're talking about balancing an imbalanced system. Can you see how balancing an imbalanced system can be a little unbalanced? Meaning, a system is not balanced until it's balanced. In the meantime, it's unbalanced. When systems are unbalanced hair loss can continue. Thus, people sometimes continue having trouble with their hair loss even while their temperatures are being normalized. Some people's hair doesn't start growing back until their temperatures are normal and they are off treatment for a while! This suggests that their systems were brought into balance and given a chance to settle down into a normal pattern of function.

Dry Hair, Hair Loss



Dry hair is a common complaint and can include the hair shafts breaking off at the ends. As mentioned in a previous chapter, hair manageability and luster can begin to return within two weeks of beginning proper thyroid hormone therapy, suggesting that the condition of the hair is greatly dependent on the oils secreted by the scalp and not just the composition of the hair shafts themselves. These patients frequently experience hair loss to some degree, especially from the head, but they can lose hair from sites all over the body. Thinning of the lateral one-third of the eye brows is a classic sign of decreased thyroid system function. Patients may also lose their eye lashes, leg hair, and even pubic hair. Most patients with Wilson's Temperature Syndrome that experience hair loss notice generalized hair loss, especially from the top of their head, near their hair line, and on the sides of the head also (at the temples). Their hair may become so thin that one can often see their scalp. It is usually first noticed as hair on the pillow in the morning or clogging the shower drain. Everyone knows that losing some hair from day to day is normal. But they often notice a significant increase in the amount of hair being lost each day, especially when it comes out seemingly by the handfuls as one passes one's fingers through one's hair. One such patient had noticed a 50% decrease in the amount of hair present on her head. This thinning of her hair had been persistent for several years. With proper liothyronine treatment, the 50% loss of hair was restored, giving her back her full head of hair.
Patients also notice that with the onset of Wilson's Temperature Syndrome, their hair may not hold a perm as well as it used to. They may find that the perm will only hold for a couple of weeks, when previously it would hold for several months. Sometimes their hair will not take a perm at all. Interestingly, most hair dressers are already quite aware of the correlation between decreased thyroid system function and the patient's ability to maintain a hair permanent.
