Hi
Low body temp may just highlight a problem that was there before. I have had this all well but I used to get bad hot flushes as well. when you read about Dr john lee MD work about myth busting on hormone levels he makes a lot of good sense.

Progesterone/Estrogen imbalance can give you low body temp in the mornings. it mimics hypothyroid symptoms. Dr John lee has stated how this works in his books.His web site will give you some help on this.

It depends on what else is going on in your life and how much this worries you?

I would not worry only if there is any pain around the joints.

Hi Suzanne! If the blood doesn't contain enough Oxygen, then taking Cayenne Pepper won't usually be enough to RAISE your body temperature up-to-normal. Please read the following article and also click-on any links to read MORE information.

"THANKS" for your time and attention!

Tom/Psalm 104:14.

Something I wondered about when I saw your first post on this question - do you have a record of what your body temp was prior to starting on Cayenne? Or are you just going by general sense of feel?

Have you ever tried combining Cayenne with Ginger, such as, in a hot-brewed tea? This might help perk up your body temp. I use this combo frequently, using home grown Cayenne with ginger root from the health food store brewed into tea. The short term effect is that this often provides a warm feeling throughout the body. Also be aware, depending on all sorts of other potential variables that are not easy to pin down, there might (operative word - might) be the potential for complications. Do not expect complications, but I point this out only because of recently stumbling onto complications from combining Cayenne & Ginger with an elderly person who has been under treatment a few years for an orthodox diagnosis of "type 2 diabetes".

Body temp is generally involved with the processes related to your metabolism. As already mentioned in this and other threads, Cayenne can increase metabolism, and I would think that this should increase your temperature .... maybe the temp drop is happening after the effects on your metabolism begin to drop or wear off ... ? Within the wide range of potential possibilities, this might also involve Thyroid function.

From my own personal history, I know that seemingly on it's own, my body's temp changes throughout the day, especially at night time, and especially especially while sleeping. There have been many times that when I went to bed, I felt cold, and pulled a blanket over me before sleep. But them, sometime during the course of sleep, things changed .... like, my body went from feeling cold to feeling hot. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night feeling very stuffy / hot (on rare occasions, in sweat), and throw off the blankets. Other times I wake the next morning to find find the blanket on the floor from having unconsciously thrown it off while sleeping.

Not to bog down your thread by connecting it to conspiracy, but you did say something profound.

"These are the times I wish I could go see him as a patient or have a phone consult."

This very sentiment is one I've felt numerous times during the past year or so. It's been during this time that I've been studying the works of people like John Christopher and Richard Schulze . Christopher is of course dead, and I personally am not the kind of person to dabble in attempting to talk with the dead ;) However, Richard Schulze , as best I know, is alive, well and living, somewhere .... at least, this is the present rumor. The problem is, due to the establishment, Richard Schulze has been rendered as effectively dead ..... IE> he's not allowed to communicate with the public. The reason why I mention this is because of how utterly ridiculous the situation is, a situation that too many people find it too easy to ignore. I too would like to consult with Richard Schulze and can imagine there easily are dozens to hundreds to thousands of people worldwide who would like to communicate with Richard Schulze IF DOING SO WAS NOT CURRENTLY BEING TREATED AS THOUGH IT IS SOME SORT OF LEGITIMATE FEDERAL (or GLOBAL) OFFENSE. My impression is, if he were allowed to live a normal & free life, Richard Schulze would still be quite happy to be maintaining an active schedule of consulting with and helping people worldwide. The problem is, our system has now made this illegal for Schulze to do, to the extent that they have deemed this a punishable crime if by chance they happen to catch Schulze in the act of consulting with people on their health issues. Think about that..... it has become a punishable crime if one very specific person is caught communicating with peopel ..... ? ... and this is currently passing for America. Heaven help us. Who are we to rely on to protect us from our "protectors"? That is sort of a trick question. For now, the answer is, we need to learn how to rely on ourselves first and foremost ... at least, we need to learn how to do this until such time that the same system makes it illegal and a punishable crime for us to teach ourselves. How long does anyone guess or think it will be until that too becomes illegal?


Anyway, good luck on researching the mysteries of your body temps! You might also consider looking into some of Schulze advice on woman-specific problems, like the monthly ups and downs with hormone imbalances. In case you have not found this older post, you might find some answers in these videos of a Schulze seminar .. and you might want to watch or record these before it becomes illegal for you to do so!

Wow folks..I found an awesome Naturopath (he knows and respects Dr. Schulze etc.)
He suspects I have WTS Wilson's Temperature Syndrome

I'm filling out a questionaire, reading about it at wtsmed.com and returning the questionaire to his office tomorrow. he will evaluate it and then start me on a program of T3 and herbs. The intent is to "kick start" the thyroid to produce enough T4 and convert it to T3.

If that doesn't work we'll try the Armour Thyroid.

But he was adamant that having a body temp of 96 is NOT healthy. Lots of body functions can't take place.
Thanks all...I'll post my results as they occur.

Cheers,
Suzanne
