30 DAY REVIEW
On 9/23 I posted a note in the skeptics corner.
http://marshallprotocol.com/forum31/815.html
I had been reading about the protocol for several months. Many of the posts reported changes in physical conditions, however few actually reported what I would consider "major" improvements. The few that I noticed that did report some major changes were those that were mediating this site. We have all heard of the person who has been miraculously healed through a certain sequence of behaviors or events. Unfortunately, most often when the sequence of behaviors or events is duplicated the same outcome is not present. Therapists refer to this as a spontaneous healing. Experience has shown me that these healing’s can be very powerful and very real, even though they are not reproducible.
Like most of you who are reading this I was assured by many that they could help, only to find out that they had no clue. As a therapist I often worked with clients that would see "professionals" only to be told that what they had was psychological. Personally I was offered psycho tropic drugs by several doctors. It seemed when their magic didn’t work they wrote it off as hypochondria. One even suggested that I see a therapist. (Which I do..)
I won’t bother you with my individual history I posted it here.
http://marshallprotocol.com/forum27/153.html
I was bedridden for over a year and have been disabled for 5 years. I know that there was an answer for my disease out there....
In order to be objective I have had to leave a lot of my expectations and excitement aside. Since beginning the therapy (Marshall Protocol) 30 days ago I have noticed some personal improvements That said, I will document what I have found. First, after reading many posts from many people I find that in most cases my symptoms (herxs) are congruent. Reports seem to indicate the presence of mild to severe herxs brought on by Benicar by itself and/or antibiotics. In my case these herxs are mild to moderate, they are not fun, but are tolerable. Benicar by itself seems to produce mild to moderate stomach upset & gas, this upset is increased by sugar and carbs, can be controlled with Probiotic and low carb foods. Benicar also increases sinus drainage and sinus pressure, when drainage stops. I also noticed anxiety for about the first 2 or 3 weeks. Heart palpitations were also present early in the protocol and fatigue was often present. Adding antibiotics indicated increased heart palpitations, anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, and loss of motivation.
I find it ironic as I am writing this post and thinking about what I have to say I am remembering back prior to MP. One of my major enjoyments has always been baking and cooking, as I got sick my enjoyment turned to hell, profuse sweating and pain made it miserable to even walk. Sitting would cause sores and pain. Pain killers would cause the zombie effect. I was in hell. Today I am baking cookies in between writing and washing dishes. Every 15 minutes I get up and take cookies out of the oven and add more. I can stand for an hour at a time, I still have pain, but it is manageable, when I sit now I have little or no pain. A week ago I got out of bed pain free for over an hour. The same occurred today! I have rough times in between however this glimmer of heaven are moments to savor. My energy level spurts sometimes I have moments of excitement.
Don’t misunderstand my post I am not doing well, I am not healed, I am however, viewing glimmers of heaven from hell. I have moments and sometimes hours when I almost forget that I am disabled and let my mind overload by body’s ability. The good news is at least now I am starting to have the "mind" return to do that. Then there are the days when my body is ready and my mind is not, but again until the MP the body was never ready.
If you are reading this post and wondering if the Marshall Protocol could work for you, may I suggest that if you are like me, what have you got to lose? Yes, you will be uncomfortable much of the time and strange stuff will happen. You may be tired or have increased pain, you may even be able to fart the national anthem, but ask yourself when was the last time you got a glimmer of heaven?
