#74 Patient to Patient Advocate Janie Bowthorpe Shares Her Passion on Empowering Those with Thyroid Conditions
Years ago, Janie Bowthorpe became a hypothyroid patient. And like millions, she was put on a T4-only medicine like Synthroid and told it was would change her life.
Years ago, Janie Bowthorpe became a hypothyroid patient. And like millions, she was put on a T4-only medicine like Synthroid and told it was would change her life. But it didn't. Janie spent the next 20 years getting worse on nothing but T4 with growing problems. And each doctor she saw said "It's not your thyroid" causing you all those problems as they did more and more tests. She was steps away from applying for Social Security Disability.
But Janie didn't buy that it wasn't her thyroid. On her own, she found out about having T3 in her treatment with natural desiccated thyroid. On her own, she found a doctor to let her get on desiccated thyroid. Then on her own, she found a second doctor to let her raise it. And her life made a complete and total turn around.
With those experiences under her belt, Janie Bowthorpe started the first and only patient-to-patient movement called Stop the Thyroid Madness. All Janie's experiences challenged the way the medical system has been testing and treating thyroid disease. Today, Janie is the author of two life-changing, patient-to-patient thyroid books, the editor of a third book contributed by medical professionals, and the owner of the most life-changing website on treating a thyroid problem in the world.

#63 Internal Adhesions and Blocked Fallopian Tube Treatment | Larry & Belinda Wurn Discuss their Amazing Findings with The Wurn Technique
In 1984, Belinda Wurn learned she had cancer of the cervix.
In 1984, Belinda Wurn learned she had cancer of the cervix. She survived after months of radiation therapy, but the treatments left her lower abdomen, pelvis, and lower back adhered and scarred. All of her pelvic organs had become adhered to surrounding tissues and structures, limiting her mobility and causing significant pain. With her husband, Larry Wurn, they searched for relief by studying with physicians and physical therapists around the US and abroad who did different types of hands-on techniques.
After taking many courses in manual physical therapy, they found their first glimmer of hope – the manual techniques improved the pain. Together, they developed a protocol of over 200 manual therapy techniques called the Wurn Technique® and opened their own clinics, first Professional Touch Physical Therapy, and then Clear Passage Physical Therapies. By 1990, they discovered that the therapy could open blocked fallopian tubes when a chronic pain patient became pregnant (despite being infertile for 7 years).
They continued to treat women diagnosed infertile and found that despite high FSH, advanced age, or complications from PCOS or endometriosis, they had excellent results in achieving pregnancy. After several case studies and scientific publications, they have the data to support these incredible claims. Larry and Belinda never have a child of their own – but through their physical therapy clinic they treated thousands of women by clearing the internal adhesions causing their fertility struggles. Lo and behold, these women successfully conceived after their natural, holistic, hands-on therapy. You could say that Belinda and Larry “created” over 1,000 miracle babies.

#57 What Does Temperature Have to Do With Fertility? | Dr. Denis Wilson, MD Discusses Thyroid Health & Fastercise
Dr. Denis Wilson, MD has a Medical degree from University of South Florida and is the Co-Founder of an herbal supplement company.
Dr. Denis Wilson, MD has a Medical degree from University of South Florida and is the Co-Founder of an herbal supplement company.
Dr. Wilson developed the concept of Wilson ‘s Temperature Syndrome in 1988 after observing people with symptoms of low thyroid and low body temperature, yet who had normal blood tests. He found that by normalizing their temperatures with T3 (without T4) their symptoms often remained improved even after the treatment was discontinued.
As a result of his findings, Dr. Wilson developed the WT3 protocol for Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome and originated sustained release T3.
Dr. Wilson is the author of Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome – A Reversible Low Temperature Problem, Doctor’s Manual for Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome, Evidence-based Approach to Restoring Thyroid Health and the recently released The Power of Fastercise. He also speaks regularly at conferences throughout North America.
