I’m so glad that you are planning to start the Marshall Protocol and begin the journey of getting your health back. Don’t be nervous..you are making the right decision! Unfortunately there is no phone number to call for information about how to start the Marshall Protocol. All counseling about starting the treatment is done over the internet. Go to the following website:

http://www.curemyth1.org

When you get to the site you must become a member. Instructions on how to register are here:

http://www.curemyth1.org/forum1/4.html

Then you write a post explaining your situation they way you did originally on this board and patient advocates will answer you questions. They will guide you on how to start the treatment correctly.

Instructions on how to post are here;

So that is the next step you need to take in terms of understanding exactly how to start the treatment. I’m glad you are planning to wean off prednisone. They will also help you with that.

If you have any problems using the curemyth1.org website let me know and I will try to help you further.

Best,

Amy

This is Amy - I write the articles on this site. Your attitude is correct! It’s important that you kill the mutated L-form bacteria at the root of your disease as soon as possible. Then, like the many people with sarcoidosis who have used the Marshall Protocol before you, you will become completely healthy again.

There are several steps required to learn more about the treatment and thus be able to start it. The treatment is run by the staff of Autoimmunity Research Foundation, so every service is free of charge. Nobody is turned away from the study so you are welcome to participate and there are no criteria you need in order to participate - except the desire to get better!

First read as much information as you can on the Marshall Protocol study site itself - http://www.marshallprotocol.com. This forum is a good place to start:

http://www.marshallprotocol.com/forum2/

You also need to find a doctor. You can request a list of doctors in your area through the Marshall Protocol study site at this link:

http://www.marshallprotocol.com/forum11/9355.html

Finally you should start posting on the following website:

http://www.curemyth1.org. (Th1 refers to diseases caused by L–form bacteria, hence the name Cure My Th1). The experienced patient advocates on that site will answer your questions about the treatment, give you more tips on how to get started etc, free of charge.

This article is a basic summary of the Marshall Protocol and what it involves.

You will need to wean off your prednisone in order to start the treatment, but many before you have done the same thing successfully and held up fine.

If you want to learn exactly how the MP medications work, read this article:

All the best!

Your questions can be answered by patient advocates at the website:

http://www.curemyth1.org (Th1 is the general name given to all diseases caused by L-form bacteria, hence the name Cure My Th1)

They will guide you on how to request a list of doctors that live in your area. If the list shows that there are no MP doctors in your area you have several options. You can:

Print out literature about the Marshall Protocol and educate your current doctor about the treatment, thus convincing him/her to give you the medications. Many people have done this with success. The moderators at http://www.curemyTh1.org can guide you on exactly what documents to show your doctor.

You may have to drive to a doctor that is farther away. However the trip is absolutely worth it because there is nothing more important then getting your health back.

Some people even fly to see an MP doctor. After the first appointment there is often a way to work things out so that subsequent appointments can be done over the phone.

Good luck and make sure you post on http://www.curemyTh1.org so that all your questions can be addressed in even more detail.

Best,

Amy
