I'm so glad that you are working with your doctor to start the MP. It will take time, but in the end I'm convinced that your will get your life back and feel your age or even better. There are many other people who started the MP in a very debilitated state and are making good progress. Plus, once you are on the MP there is usually a change in attitude. Instead of getting sicker each day, with every day spent on the MP you are getting a little bit better. As a friend used to tell me, "Once on the MP, every night you go to sleep with less bacteria then you did the day before." From now on you will be headed in the right direction. I know how hard it is to be an active and gregarious person, only to fall ill with a disease that prevents you from doing anything. I was young when I got sick, but became very ill very fast until I was completely bedridden - and just like you had symptoms in every single area of my body. I got very sick right during my last year of college and for a long time I was totally disconnected from other people and any sort of activity. Now I am becoming more active and spending a great deal of time with family and friends. I never thought it would be possible before the MP. Best, Amy Hi Abigail,

I'm so sick, I can hardly email, but wanted to thank you for the information you are making possible. I know it will help me cope. I am 64 and have been mostly "un-diagnosably" sick for 50+ years--particularly bad for the past 4-5 years. I've finally found a good doctor and will start the MP soon. Unfortunatly, my doctor prescribed Vit D 3 months ago before he discovered the MP, so I'm trying to get D levels back down now. It was 7 to start with, which seems now to be a good place for the MP, but now is 60! He's fairly certain I have Lyme plus many other co-infections. Interesting about Pyelonephritis as I had a fairly bad case of it as a teenager and my brother lost a kidney to it. I have every symptom known to man and am now almost totally debilitated. Terribly depressed as I'm an active person in my heart and spirit and do not at all identify with being 64! I haven't posted on the MP site yet--just haven't had the energy; but I will make myself do so very soon. I'm looking forward to reading all else that you submitted. Abigail Amy,

What is making you sick are different species of L-form bacteria, many of those which Domingue investigated. The only treatment that will kill these bacteria and allow you to recover your health is the Marshall Protocol. In order to do the treatment, all you need to do is find a doctor who will prescribe you the necessary medications (antibiotics and Benicar). Then you work with him, but can also post your symptoms on the Marshall Protocol study site and you can be guided my experienced nurse moderators on how to best manage the immunopathology that results from taking the antibiotics. Right now, what you should do is go to the following website: www.curemyth1.org (Th1 disease is the name given to illnesses caused by L-form bacteria, hence the name Cure My Th1) You an post all your questions about the Marshall Protocol - how to find a doctor, or how to work with your current doctor etc - on that site and they will be answered by patient advocates. They will guide you through the process of getting started. You might want to take a look at the interview with Carole Morgan on this site. She was also a school teacher, also had fibromyalgia, and has gotten her life back thanks to the MP. The same will be true for you if you start the treatment. http://bacteriality.com/2007/11/08/interview8/ Best, Amy Hi Joyce,

I am 39 years old, a school teacher who has struggled for 7 years with a mysterious diease. It's been frustrating going through 5 seperate operations and all the tests you can imagine. I have three daughters and the will to get better. I lack the information. It would be really intersting to know if there is someone who could really help me. My new internal specialist has said that he could probably get me on a new research drug that is, if he can get my B-12 in check. I am on B-12 injections and other medications that I don't think are helping me get better. They are just masking what the real culprit is. I have been diagnoised with fibromyalgia, endo, pernicious anemia and what ever else. I need help and someone to finish what they start. can you help? Just read some of the work.

His papers and book are always basic guidance in our experiments with L-forms. They are always citied in our L-form publications. We will be glad to contact him and to consult about interesting findings in this field, especially to know his opinion about “nanobacteria” and human blood L-form isolates. I fully agree with his opinion about “ethics of scientific writing”.

I recommend anyone who is chronically ill to read this site and the Marshall Protocol website. Medicine and people who are ill with chronic diseases will never be the same thanks to Dr. Trevor Marshall and people like you who want to help others understand. Thanks for putting the science together in a concise easy to read format. Everyone, from patients to the medical profession need to know what causes chronic illness and how people with chronic illnesses can get their lives back. Jeannine Jalanivich, RN Amy,
