Restorative Medicine and Anti-Aging

It is not known exactly how and why aging occurs, but some authorities believe it is partly caused by a disruption in homeostasis. Restorative Medicine is the process of restoring the body’s homeostasis or equilibrium using natural substances, and the treatment for Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome (WTS) is a prime example. Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome is a cluster of debilitating symptoms caused by physical, mental, or emotional stress and can persist after these stresses have passed (due to maladaptive slowing of the metabolism). WTS is characterized by a body temperature that runs, on average, below normal and routine thyroid blood tests that are often in the normal range. The condition is best identified by a reproducible and predictable response (positive) to the normalization of body temperature. This slowing down of the metabolism could be described as “a coping mechanism that has run amuck.”

WTS sufferers often look and feel much older than their actual age. However, what has become clear after years of experience using the WTS protocol is that this disruption in thyroid homeostasis is correctable. Using specially compounded T3 preparations, botanical medicine, and nutrition, proper thyroid function and optimal health can be restored.

The 2008 Restorative Medicine Conference will have a strong focus on the anti-aging benefits of the WTS treatment protocol using T3. If aging is, in part, due to a disruption of thyroid homeostasis, the WTS protocol can help patients lead longer, healthier lives.

The featured speaker for anti-aging will be Tedde Marie Rinker, DO (psychiatrist and neurologist). Dr. Rinker was board certified in anti-aging medicine in 2000, and has served as an examiner for the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. She is the author of the book "Anti-Aging Medical Practice for Primary Care Physicians". She will discuss anti-aging and the hypopituitary/thyroid/adrenal axis, and provide attendees the knowledge they need to use bio-identical hormone replacement. She became a WTS certified physician in 2004.
