I’m so glad you plan to start the MP. The fact that your sarcoidosis has not progressed to later stages means that hopefully your bacterial load is not too high. If that’s the case, it may be easier for you to ramp your antibiotics more quickly and manage the immunopathology. It’s also in your favor that you don’t seem to have treated your sarc with corticosteroid medications before starting the MP so your immune system should be in better shape.

There are plenty more people to interview when it comes to sarcoidosis MP recovery stories (and people with other diseases). I am in the process of applying to grad school now but as soon as my schedule becomes less hectic I certainly will be putting up more interviews.

Yes. I think that your friend could definitely benefit from the MP. The recurrent sinus infections are no doubt caused by chronic bacteria that the MP can effectively target. Not to mention the fact that every year, more and more cancers are linked to bacteria. It’s quite likely that tumors are largely clumps of infected cells and leukemia, like other diseases the MP treats, is an inflammatory disease. Whenever one hears the word “inflammatory” bacteria are almost always at play.

At the very least the MP will strengthen your friend’s immune response which has to prove helpful in fighting leukemia, no matter what the cause. By continually activating the VDR Benicar will keep her innate immune response working as best as possible which is key to dealing with any disease.

Also, an active VDR transcribes genes that prevent metastasis, or the spread of cancerous cells, so taking Benicar would keep those genes active.

It’s also worth noting that among the thousands of people on the MP, there are essentially no cases of cancer (and keep in mind that these are very high-risk patients). So it appears that the MP may very well be killing bacteria involved in cancer as well as bacteria that cause other inflammatory diseases.

People on the MP have reported that their tumors have shrunk after spending time on the MP, including my Mom, whose benign ovarian tumor has shrunk during her time on the MP.

Finally, the standard treatments for leukemia may actually harm the immune response. I’d tell your friend to be especially wary of the medicine BCG.

The following interview is with a man who used the MP to treat his bladder cancer with success. It may be of interest to your friend:

Hope this helps!

I have a friend that is constantly getting sinus infections. She has chronic leukemia. Do you think this might help her?

Thank you again for your website. More success stories to counter-balance the horror stories on line, please!

Your first doctor was wrong - there is no such thing as inactive sarcoidosis. We now understand that sarcoidosis is a bacterial disease, and once you have acquired the L-form and biofilm bacteria that cause the illness, they spread and the patient remains ill. This is surely why you are now noticing that your symptoms are acting up again and have not gone away.

The fact that sarcoidosis does not go away on its own or stabilize on its own was confirmed by the 2003 NIH ACCESS study, the largest study ever conducted on patients with sarcoidosis. The researchers followed 215 sarcoidosis patients for two years - the period which it is sometimes thought that the disease might go into remission. Not only did the study find that measures of sarcoidosis severity remained unchanged over the two year period, even when many of the patients were taking medication, there were no documented cases of spontaneous remission.

They also stated that “most patients with persistent disease at two years were unlikely to have resolution of Sarcoidosis.” “end-stage pulmonary Sarcoidosis usually develops over one or two decades.”

So it is essential that you target the L-form bacteria causing your disease. L-form bacteria are forms of bacteria that have mutated from classical bacteria, lost their cell walls, and are able to hide undetected inside the cells of the immune system. Read more about these bacteria here:

“Understanding L-form bacteria”

I don’t think that an environmental factor has triggered the return of your sarc symptoms - only that your L-form bacteria have been left unchecked and have thus been spreading - causing a rise in symptoms. Of course, since L-form bacteria are found nearly everywhere in our environment - they are not killed by pasteurization, filtration, or other processes, it could be that during or after you move you picked up even more L-form bacteria at your new location.

The fact that you are in remission from Hodgkins Lymphoma is definitely not going to negatively affect your progress on the MP. Actually, there is much evidence that L-form bacteria play a role in the pathogenesis of cancer. More research needs to be done on cancer and L-form bacteria, but these intracellular pathogens could very well be behind why you developed Hodgkins in the first place. Perhaps the treatments that you used for Hodgkins killed some of the cells that harbored L-form bacteria, but left the species causing sarcoidosis unchecked. Maybe there are still some Hogkins-causing L-forms left and the MP could help you fully eliminate those pathogens as well so that you can be sure the disease will never return. With this in mind I think the MP is an excellent curative option for you.

You may be interested in an interview with a researcher who identified L-form bacteria in patients with cancer:

Cantwell actually wrote a review article about L-form bacteria and Hodgkins disease. Here’s the link:

Thanks for writing. You should start the MP as soon as possible. I am very glad to hear that you have such an open-minded doctor who seems to truly care about your health. However, you do not want to take prednisone.

Sarcoidosis is an infectious disease, now know to be caused by different species of L-form bacteria. Read more about them here:

http://bacteriality.com/2007/08/15/l-forms/

The Marshall Protocol uses carefully chosen pulsed, low-dose antibiotics along with a medication that activates the immune system in order to eliminate these bacteria over the course of several years. Here is a brief description of the treatment:

http://bacteriality.com/about-the-mp/

And a piece that describes how the antibiotics work in greater detail:

http://bacteriality.com/2007/10/11/antibiotics/

To date, the Marshall Protocol is the only treatment that effectively targets L-form bacteria, thus addressing the actual cause of your illness. Prednisone is a corticosteroid medication that simply acts as a band aid.

Prednisone works by slowing the activity of the immune system. This prevents the immune system from effectively killing L-form bacteria. However it is the killing of L-form bacteria that generates an increase in painful symptoms since when they die the immune system releases cytokines (inflammatory proteins) and the bacteria themselves release toxins.

So on prednisone, while less bacteria are killed, people may experience short-term relief as their immune system shuts down and less bacteria are killed. However, in reality, this situation allows the bacteria to spread more easily.

So if you are taking 10 mg of prednisone right now you are slowing your immune system and the bacteria at the heart of your illness are spreading with greater ease. Based on the experiences of other people I know who also took prednisone at one point, you will almost certainly relapse in a few years and feel worse then you do now.

So that’s why I recommend discussing the MP with your doctor immediately. You don’t just have to manage you illness - if you do the MP you can actually get rid of your illness and live a completely normal life again.

If you had sarcoidosis at one point then you still have sarcoidosis. It does not go away without treatment. We now understand that sarcoidosis is a bacterial disease. It is caused by different species of L-form bacteria, bacterial that have changed form, lost their cell wall, and are able to hide undetected inside the cells of the immune system. You are still infected with these bacteria.

In order to get better you MUST kill these bacteria. The only treatment that will allow you to kill them is the Marshall Protocol. Here is a brief description of the treatment:

http://bacteriality.com/about-the-mp/

Here is a piece about L-form bacteria:

http://bacteriality.com/2007/08/15/l-forms/

It is very important that you start the Marshall Protocol. Not eating fatty foods is a good idea but will not cure your disease. Even if you don’t drink milk your vitamin D levels are still likely to be too high and could be slowing your immune system. The Marshall Protocol will allow your immune system to regain strength.

I’m sure you have many questions about the treatment and how to start it. Go to the following website:

If really want to get your health back then you are in the right place. The latest molecular modeling research, which is described on this site, has confirmed that sarcoidosis is caused by different species of L-from bacteria - bacteria that have mutated from classical forms of bacteria, lost their cell walls, and developed the ability to live undetected inside the cells of the immune system that are supposed to kill them. Read more about these bacteria here.

http://bacteriality.com/2007/08/15/l-forms/

The Marshall Protocol is able to kill these bacteria over a period of several years, and is the only treatment to do so effectively. Read more about how the Marshall Protocol medications are carefully designed to kill L-form bacteria here:

http://bacteriality.com/2007/10/11/antibiotics/

The Marshall Protocol is a curative treatment - once you have killed the bacteria making you sick you will become as healthy as any other person out there. The treatment is part of a phase II study monitored by the FDA and patient reports so far show that African American people respond in the same way to the medications as people of other races. Read an interview with an African American woman who used the Marshall Protocol to recover from sarcoidosis here:

http://bacteriality.com/2007/11/04/interview7/

In order to start the treatment you will have to wean off your prednisone. Unfortunately, prednisone is actually a harmful medication for patients with sarcoidosis - namely because it slows the activity of the immune system, allowing L-form bacteria to spread with even more ease. The reason that patients often feel better on prednisone is that when on the med, their immune system kills less L-form bacteria. However it is when L-form bacteria die that they cause the host to feel the greatest increase in symptoms - due to the fact that when they die they release toxins and the immune system releases cytokines (or proteins that cause pain and fatigue) in response to their death. So the prednisone you are taking is just masking this response, but unfortunately your L-form bacteria are very much alive. Read more about the Marshall Protocol and the bacterial die-off reaction here:

http://bacteriality.com/about-the-mp/

Many other people have been on prednisone when they wanted to start the MP and have weaned successfully.

In order to learn more about the Marshall Protocol I recommend you read as much information as possible on this site as well as on the Marshall Protocol study site itself. This forum is a good place to start:
