you should try reading the information on the internet about the copper:zinc balance in the body...someone posted an article on here a month or so ago and it got me doing a lot of research. Very interesting info. that deals with body temp., high metal readings in the body and such. too much for me to go in to detail but I think it may help point you in the right direction.Replied by Hope (Sacramento, Ca) on 02/16/2010
I would recommend looking into the iodine supplementation with companion nutrients-it sounds as though you are hypo-thyroid. It can take up to 1-2 years to bring the temperature to the norm even with the protocol but it is well worth it, if that is what your body needs. With the protocol, you will most likely feel much better within 1-3 months, even though the body temp may take much longer to balance out.Replied by Mary (Regina, Sasketchewan, Canada) on 02/23/2010
Dear Theo:
Wow I feel your pain. My body temps were very low with the corresponding "fine" blood work. I am being helped greatly by using T3(triiodothyronine) which is the active form of the thyroid hormone. this is a bio identical hormone that has helped many people. The protocol to take it is a little difficult and unusual. It is taken at precisely 12 hour intervals. The time and effort is worth it as you will actually watch your body temperature rise and the symptoms go away. will need a docs prescription in Canada (that is unfortunate but not impossible). this type of hypothyroidism is called "wilson's syndrome", and is a peripheral problem not a glandular one. This is why the blood work does not pick it up. Best of luck!

This is so interesting because I just learned about T3 and its importance. You can listen to Dr. Brian Clement, a brilliant man who owns and runs Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida, on youtube and hear him speak about this and thyroid. It is under Dr. Brian Clement on whole food supplements. It is a 10 part series and you will find this particular subject in part 8 #56. He is an articulate speaker and the entire series is well-worth listening to as he covers many diseases, illnesses, etc. Hope you can check it out.

Commenting on low body temperature, I have the same problem for ten years tsh test kept coming back normal, pain all over my body, and feeling sick all the time. Finally a doctor said lets do a thyroid antibody blood test and it came back high and I had hashimoto's and chronic thyroidititis. Tsh test even if it comes back normal and you are still feeling bad have your doctor run that test, thyroid doctors don't even look at the tsh they only look at the t3, t4 test, so hope you dont have to go thru what I did, surgery. Thyroid cancer does not show up in the blood test. Better to be safe then sorry.Replied by Janey (Birminghmam, Midlands UK) on 09/09/2012
