Thanks! I’ve wanted to make these changes for a while so I’m glad I actually got around to it! Your comments a while ago helped steer me in this direction. I also met a very vocal scientist at a recent metagenomics conferences who suggested the same changes and helped get me off my butt to make them.

For a while I wasn’t sure what to do with this site because I originally wanted it to be a blog where I could write really opinionated pieces, but I’m afraid that’s not too helpful for me and my future at the moment.

But I realize now that I never really wrote my pieces like blog posts – I wrote them like articles, and it took me a while to understand that people were using this site as a resource associated directly with the MP site (which I actually did NOT want to happen..but it did.)

Anyway take care and thanks always for your enthusiastic feedback!

That sounds like an interesting topic. Sadly, I’m pretty much at my limit with my current work. Otherwise I’d still be writing for this site! But we have some other readers here who I think know quite a bit about L-forms – so maybe they could help you out?

Best of luck and sorry I can’t help,
Amy

I was looking for the article about the ACDI conference

“Reflections from the 2008 Aging Conference plus video footage”

I did find it on archive.org but wasn’t sure why it was removed but now I have seen your post it makes a lot of sense.

I am looking for someone who may be interested in guest blogging on Rejuvedpedia.org about the role of L-form bacteria and bacterial biofilms in the aging process.

Please let me know if you or someone else is interested.

Best regards,

Chris

Thanks for your concern. I didn’t mean to imply that I think that the content of any of my articles was wrong. At the moment I can’t think of any issue I discussed that I now think is incorrect.

That being said the “tone” issue stems through all of the earlier pieces. It’s just the difference between saying “bacteria MAY cause autoimmune disease and “bacteria cause autoimmune disease.” The second statement is a bit strong but that’s the way I often phrased things in the early days.

Unfortunately right now I’m pretty swamped with work so I can’t at the moment look for every sentence that needs a “may” or a “likely” etc. I can tell you though that if in going over any of my pieces, I find anything that I think was misleading I’ll let you guys know.

Best,
Amy

Since we don’t know which articles are missing, perhaps you could provide a brief list of statements with their revisions.

Thanks for writing! I think that your niece can look forward to a very interesting career as bioengineering is advancing at an extremely rapid pace these days. Regular engineer is good too – my Dad’s an engineer, not electrical, but he’s one smart dude. I’m glad you are doing the MP and hope that your experience is as smooth as possible.

My research focus now is not really VDR homology. However I believe Dr. Marshall doesn’t think that VDR homology is very good between any animal and Homo Sapiens, although I’m not sure he’s ever really looked at the guinea pig VDR. I think if he had to use an animal model it would be an ape, yet as you can imagine those studies would be quite expensive. Even then, differences can be great when it comes to the immune response. For example, many studies on SARS in apes have not really been applicable to treatments that actually work for humans with AIDS. Right now we really hope we can just work to keep testing the MP on people – ideally we’d like to get some more controlled studies underway although it will still take time.

Best,
Amy

As an off topic question, are there other animal models with a similar role for the VDR as humans? What about guinea pigs?

Thanks for your patience. Check out these links:

Here’s a patient with ALS trying the MP:

If you have any further questions, please ask at CureMyTh1.org. Also, have a look at our Knowledge Base, MPKB.org. I’m sorry to say that the article on ALS is not up to date, but it is certainly on the list.

Best,

My Father was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s Disease.

The research I have done makes me believe it may be an autoimmune disease.

Do you have know anyone with ALS that has used the Marshall Protocol?

Please email me if you can offer any help.
