LBTS - Lesson 1

Dear All,

Several of you expressed the interest in knowing more about Low Body Temperature Syndrome (LBTS). As such, i shall begin sharing about this condition beginning today. Let's be informal, and i shall try to respond to all possible queries that generated from this sharing as soon as i can.

Lesson 1 is a case taken from my second book dedicated to Low Body Temperature Syndrome (to be released in end 2009). Hope it's useful.

TT is a young man (age 32) from Penang. He has been working in Singapore for the last 6 years and is now married with a Singaporean wife. He came to see me asking for help. The following is TT’s account:

After reading your low body temperature syndrome account in your facebook, I found your description is precisely what I’ve been experiencing in the last 4 years. I have extreme cold hands and feet in the early morning. I’ve stiff backs. I also have serious fatigue, after a vigorous basketball game, it takes me 3-4 days to recover. I cannot concentrate in my work, luckily my present work responsibility is not too heavy. I have a weak stomach and easily get diarrhea after meals that last for 3-4 hours. I easily get sick and down with flu frequently. At times, I’ve sinus, sneezing 30-40 times continuously early in the morning before stopping, and may return to sneeze again at a later time. I exercise regularly and have been eating healthily and living healthily but I am still growing sideways, I am over 90kg now.

I’ve given up hope on GPs. I saw several of them. After checking on me, they said I was there to ask for MC as there was nothing wrong with me! How can it be? The Chinese physicians are better, at least they told me that I am 虚寒(cold), and gave me medications to rectify the problems. It works slightly but the problem never got resolved. They also recommended “tuina” and acupuncture which I took up, but the problem kept coming back again and again. More recently, the problem list seems to be growing, and I’ve exhausted all the available options that I know.

This is a typical case of a patient suffering from low body temperature syndrome.

On further questioning, TT revealed that he started to suffer from some of the above conditions 4 years ago. During that period, he experienced extreme stress. His work place stress plus his mother being diagnosed of terminal stage breast cancer. Although he is no longer having any stress now (his mum passed away and he has since changed job) but the problems he was experiencing still persists, in fact getting worst!

Again this is a classic example of LBTS. His conditions will NOT get better unless he can raise his internal body temperature by 1 degree Celsius! Once he achieves that, his health conditions will miraculously improve substantially!

This real life account is a clear cut case of LBTS, it is well documented, but I must sadly say that many GPs are ignorant of this condition because medical textbooks don’t describe this.

To know more about the possible symptoms of LBTS, read the attached flyer that I’ve produced. They are available from my hydrotherapy centre or nearby clinics of GPs whom I am working with.

If you have family members or friends who are suffering from this condition for years, refer them to me. Within 3 months, they should have very good results.

Best regards,

Meng Kwang
