Guest guest Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 a, Any side effects or unwanted sensations? How did you manage to avoid the sun with all of that driving/traveling? Katrina > Friends, > I have called several of you in the past two days. That is because I am so excited about this new treatment. I started it Tuesday evening, May 18th. Within an hour I found that the tendons around my knees which have been excruciatingly painful for a year began to feel better. I drove 2 days later for 10 hours crossing NY state from Erie, PA to Lyme, CT (ground zero) and felt great when I arrived. I drove my myself - no problem. My anxiety attacks seem to have disappeared even though I still have hot flashes. I drove 10 hrs back, I flew to Altanta, stood in a mold infested tunnel, flew to Las Vegas, slept great. What can I say?! > > I have only started taking Benicar 3 pills in 24 hrs at 40 mg each. My blood pressure which was normal with occasional lows and highs is today 117/70 - no problem. I haven't started the minocin yet as I am still on Shoemaker's 3 antibiotics for the staph colonization. I was doing ok on Shoemaker's questran protocol, but this is a quantum leap from what I was doing. > > Some of you know my sixth grade teacher approach to life - if something can be simplified I will do it. Basically this Marshall protocol is simple. You have intracellular infections, borrelia, mycoplasma, other? that you want to treat with the old Brown protocol for arthritis. But you know that throwing antibiotics at this crap for years hasn't licked it. So you add an immune modulator - in this case one that reduces the Th 1 inflamation without shutting down the Th 1 germ killing properties. In other words you are getting a steroid effect on inflamation without a steroid effect on the whole immune system. You stay out of the sun and cut out the vitamin D because that keeps the infection happy and entering cells like crazy - you don't want to enable them. Voila, you start to feel better and get better. What's not to like? > > Yes, I know you have lots of questions. If you have to have all the answers start reading the websites below and join the list called " Marshalprotocol.

The results showed that 81.8% of the patients were positive for anti-B. burgdorferi antibody. In addition, a strain of B. burgdorferi was isolated from a patient's blood. Fifteen patients received ceftriaxone 2g per day or penicillin 12 million U per day. The antibody titers of the patients decreased to nearly normal levels rapidly. Serum angiotensin converting enzyme (SACE) turned to normal range after the treatment. According to the findings mentioned above, we consider that B. burgdorferi infection may be the cause of sarcoidosis and sarcoidosis might be a specific type of Lyme disease. > > You can read much more at http://www.sarcinfo.com Here is the protocol for the first 3 months. http://www.sarcinfo.com/phase1.pdf > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit too early in your treatment to know if the Marshall protocol will continue to work long term. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" That's very true. But the model being provided by Sarc patients, who are very sick people like we are, is showing that it is working for the long haul, and that they're actually recovering. I find that very encouraging. Can't say I've ever gone to any forums, except maybe the RA/Road Back forum, where people seem to consistently see long term improvement the way the SARC people do with the Marshall Protocol. Which is actually similar to the road back protocol with the addition of the Benicar. However, with the MP, people are seeing very dramatic improvement, very quickly. I am in my 4th week in the protocol and I'm consistently moving forward. My energy's started improving dramatically. My pain is all but gone. I'm sleeping. I'm relaxed. This is the first menstrual period I've had in 18 years not accompanied by severe migraines (I could feel them on the fringes but they never came on). I've never experienced this much benefit from anything I've ever tried, and I've tried A LOT, from A to Z, alternative to RX. There's a whole lot of logic behind this protocol. It's definitely worth watching and applying the research to your own situation, even if you're not inclined to do the protocol. I usually hang back and watch too. But this was different for me because I was already at the same point in my thinking, and now, based on my experience, I'm just so excited about the possiibilities of this protocol and that it could relieve so many people's suffering. penny > > Friends, > > I have called several of you in the past two days.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Katrina, I had no side effects and only wanted sensations. But I must hasten to add that I do not generally get bad reactions to much of anything. I have never herxed as far as I know. As to sun, you must be kidding. <grin> There is no sun on the east coast of the US, right? You have to understand that I live in a beautiful desert with nothing but blue skies. I do not recall seeing the sun in New York. I continue to be very excited about Benicar and the Marshal protocol. I think it will be wonderful for many of us. We shall see. a Subject: Re: Benicar one week a, Any side effects or unwanted sensations? How did you manage to avoid the sun with all of that driving/traveling?
