The Marshall Protocol, the treatment discussed in detail used on this site uses a mix of pulsed low-dose antibiotics to target biofilm bacteria that cause CFS. They are very effective. Keep reading more articles on this site and at on the Marshall Protocol Knowledgebase – in order to learn more about the treatment.

Start with this article from the Knowledgebase:

I also recommend watching this introductory video:

Take care,

Thank you.

I’m afraid we do not have those numbers. Most people who do the MP don’t report their progress on the MP site.

I’ve talked to at least a couple people who meet that description. Obviously, I would love a well-controlled study to show that this approach works for patients with CFS.

Perhaps you would be interested in seeing the results of the 2008 survey of MP patients?

I think the MP is the best therapeutic option for someone with CFS, and I don’t want to dissuade you. However, as someone who has a systemic disease like CFS and for over a decade, you might expect your recovery on the MP to take several years at least:

Hope this helps.

thanks for your story. have there been many other cases of complete recovery on the mp specifically for CFS people?

if so, could you put a very rough number to it?

cheers

At 7 months, you have quite a ways to go, I’m afraid. That said, I do think you got a taste of what’s to come. It has been my experience that your health should return in fits and starts.

Have a look at this KB article on the expected length of the MP:

I’m in my 7 month phase 2, 125Mg Zith,100 Mino. Recently I had a 2 week period of, while not feeling 100%, felt better than I had since starting the MP. For the 1st time in a year I actually entertained the thought of going kayaking. This feeling continued whether I had just taken anti-biotics or not. Then almost like a switch, I shifted into feeling the familiar fatigue, nausea, dizziness, cramps etc. My question is, from your experience, does my experience sound familiar and might that 2 week period be a pre-cursor to my recovery or is it just my body taking a rest from killing bacteria. I know these are probably hard questions to answer in that everyone heals differently but any comments or opinions would be much appreciated. Reading the material on this site has been an important part of what keeps me going on the MP, especially when things get rough. Thanks, Sheldon.

Yes I think it’s interesting too! Joyce actually helps out with various activities associated with the foundation that runs the MP – Autoimmunity Research Foundation – and I know her personally.

Thanks for sharing the link!

Thanks for sharing your story.
