Dear Bonnie

Thank you for posting.  I'm sorry for your grief. take care. I notice that you are entering your 6th month on MP, so it is getting close to the time to add a 2nd antibiotic.  and you may wish to be making preparations, seeing your Dr for scripts and reading the details.

see Where can I find phase two and three?

all best, Barb ...

2Bonnie,
As me ol' mate Bon would say - now is the time to "Let there be Rock" (scroll to the bottom of the page for the video...)

"I think his antics 'preaching the sermon' in "Let there be Rock" from the AC/DC video best describe the Bon Scott I knew: an impish humor combined with a willingness to fearlessly challenge what he saw as even the most stuffy of society's institutions."

well got a knew poem for jimbbb

Now that I know your secret

Ihave no more fear,tho'death was near

your pockets of darkness have no hold over me,I'm now free,I have no shame

thats why I'm the Shameless agitator,my guilt has allllllllll been released' yeah when livin you will all be finally deceaced

then It's my generationand in my new found dualitywithin me,yeah I'll surely be free,and dead is what your kind will be

so Bush if your in touch with god,and it's your friendyou claim to hear his voice,honey you better beg now a'fore you ain't got no choice

and a n*** for a pope,but mother theresa said there's with love hope

so i'm goin for what I know and honey thats for broke

this is dedicated to you,who CHOOSE to step forward couragesely into the unknown,making visible,the invisablenow sow the seeds needed sown

for I am one of the early onesweary of body,deep aching of soul,easy to recognize,I'm the one with a goal

What a secret sadness do we all carry,the profound well of sorry,wondering will I be here tommorrow?

Now the very fabric of our souls have been immersedin a treasureto deep to possibly measure

life is not our penance,this endless earthly span,now seeming short cuz hey we can

now we walk our final miles,upon this planet earth,better wake up,cuz its time for..............................................................REBIRTH

YOU ROCK MY WORLD EVRYONE<BUT IT'S TREVOR THAT ROCKS MY HEAVENS......2bonnie out beyond the beyond slip kid,slip kid I was a soldier at 13,yeah I'm off to the civil war,no easy way to be free

to slow down the herx you can take the mino 25mg as frequently as every 6 hours if necessary..and you can take the Benicar 20mg as frequently as every 2 hours if necessary..

Phase 2 : you dont have to have the mino at 100mg to go to phase 2. where you are at is where you are at..

One thing at a time.. get this herx damped down and then we talk about phase 2 later..

have you had light exposure?

let us know if you have any questions. Barb ...

see What precautions do I need to take when I am going out or when traveling away?

and Dr Marshall says, "I used to make sure that I was never more than 4 hours from my last Benicar (using 40mg) whenever I had to go outdoors. Then, after the exposure, I needed to keep the 4 hour going for 12 hours after the final exposure. Beyond that I could slip back to normal dosing, as the 1,25-D had dissipated .... << to help keep symptoms minimal..

and some good information in PAIN CONTROL

all best, Barb ...

The Man whispered,"Goddess speak to me."

and a meadowlarksang,but the man did not hear.

SO,the Man YELLED,"Goddess Speak to Me!" And Thunder Rolled across the sky.

But the Man did not listen,the Man LOOKED around and said,"GODDESS let me see you!" And a star shone brightly,but the Man did not notice.and the Man said,"Goddess show me a MIRACLE" ANEW life was Born,but the Man did not know,so the Man Cried out in despair,TOUCH ME GODDESS and let me know that you are here-

Whereupon the GODDESS reached down and Touched the Man,BUT the Man........Brushed the Dragonfly away..........and moved on

Just to let everyone know. Bonnie has moved to Redding, further north in California and is currently trying to persuade a local doc into restarting the MP with her. She is attempting to get a free web based e-mail so she will be to log on to the site with her 2bonnie at the local library. ( She can't remember her verify code, and the old E-mail is defunct). In the time she was on the MP she was able to get off the oxygen and out of the wheelchair, but the past year has been hard on her health (off the MP due to her circumstances) and she is looking forward to getting back on track.

best, P.B.

Hi Bonnie,

Welcome back. We're glad you posted. Before your next post, please add the required signature line. In your next message, please add the pertinent details required so we can better assist you. Thank you.

You will need to begin at the beginning so I'm posting you our basic info for new members.

Before you begin the MP, you must read and thoroughly understand the Phase One Guideline (print it out so you can refer to it often) and review the items on this checklist. The second and third phase guidelines are available to study participants upon request at completion of phase one.Your physician has access to all guidelines in the Private Section for Health Professionals.

Our study site is the only source that is certain to have reliable information about the MP. Do not assume that your doctor knows all about the MP because s/he has other patients on it or is willing to study it. You must educate yourself, using the study site, to ensure the MP is followed correctly. Please note:

-It is the patient's responsibility to see that the prescribing doctor is following the MP correctly.

-It is the patient's responsibility to see that the prescribing doctor understands the effectiveness of the MP and the dangers inherent in deviation from the guidelines.

-Combining other protocols with the MP will not work and can lead to dangerous immunopathology. Components of other protocols or alternative treatments such as (but not limited to) supplements, vitamins, glyconutrients, rife machine, infrared sauna, SAD light, chelation, etc are all contraindicated.

Many medications must be avoided on the MP. Be sure to inform study site Staff of all medications and supplements (both Rx and OTC) you are taking.

You said your "d level is 66" so I'm assuming that is the 1,25-D.

Because vitamin D is immunosuppressive, it's important that you assess your 25-D also.

You will need to avoid vitamin D supplements (multivitamins, any kind of fish oil, Omega-3 capsules) and all foods naturally high in vitamin D to bring 25-D down to a therapeutic level of 12ng/ml or less.

You may post a request for sunglasses in Used Sunglasses From Other Members. Ordering information is in Protecting Your Eyes.

Avoiding sunlight exposure is usually necessary to some degree. Before you begin to do that, please read Should I avoid sun exposure and vitamin D while I'm waiting to start the MP?

Your health care provider can communicate with other medical professionals using the MP by posting in the Private Section for Health Professionals. S/he will be interested in the Papers for Physicians, the Letter of introduction for your MP supportive doctor and the science DVDs. You may encourage him/her to call or email Dr. Marshall if needed (contact information is on all his professional papers).

Presentations by experts, tutorials about the MP and testimonials by recovering members were videotaped at our 2005 and 2006 International Conferences. Click here to obtain these informative DVDs.

Everything you need to know about the Marshall Protocol is in these two forums: Essential Info About the MP and Marshall Protocol FAQsPlease refer to them often.

Folks who chose not to become an active participant on the study site are not officially on the Marshall Protocol because it is still in the clinical study stage and there are no physicians yet certified in the practice of the MP.

MarshallProtocol.com is a huge study site, containing over 130,000 items. New visitors can only view a small fraction of the site because over 2/3 of our membership report in the Phases Two and Three Forum which is hidden from public view. Anyone in phase 2 or 3 who has not requested access to this forum by completing the MP questionnaire, is missing a wealth of information and support.

The Marshall Protocol is a serious and lengthy commitment which should not attempted without fully understanding it. Should you decide to pursue treatment with the MP and wish our assistance, let us know if you agree with the Inclusion criteria for participation in ARF phase II clinical study of the Marshall Protocol which are required for participation in our study and counseling on this study site.

Your supervising doctor is responsible for your welfare. This study site acts in an advisory capacity only. All guidance given on this study site is based on the understanding your doctor supports participation in our clinical study and has given permission to follow our recommendations. Please keep your doctor informed of your progress with regular reports and do not hesitate to contact him/her with any concerns.

The MP has an excellent safety record but it is still an experimental treatment plan. Many folks who are very symptomatic or who have been ill for a long time are doing well on the MP.  But you should know that if symptoms are extremely debilitating or vital organs are severely compromised, it may be very difficult or even impossible to tolerate the immunopathology involved in the healing process. Patients should be aware there is a rare possibility that immunopathology will provoke a serious adverse event, especially if the disease process is well advanced.

To ensure your safety and provide study data, we expect members (even those who think they are doing well independantly), to post a brief progress report weekly (more often only if not doing well) so Staff can catch any problems early and have details of past responses to provide effective assistance. It is important that you report all pertinent details, even those that might seem embarrassing. Be sure to notify staff before you take any action that is unfamiliar to you. Staff usually respond within a few hours but we ask members to give us more than a day to answer time sensitive questions.

In phase one, you will be expected to learn to recognize immunopathology and how to manage your immune system response with medication management techniques. Knowing how to manage the MP independently on a day-to-day basis will serve you well should an urgent situation occur.

As long as you are on the protocol, it is essential that you continue reading the study site regularly because important new information is frequently posted.

Because the increasing volume of requests for assistance is threatening to overwhelm our small staff of volunteers, before you post a question, we ask that you type key words into the search feature of this site or an Internet search engine. This is an important skill to learn so that you can continue to help yourself as you progress on the protocol.

Be sure to click on all the links in our responses to you.
We look forward to following your progress on the MP. :)

Best, Meg

Foundation Staff.

I hope everyone will respond to the following message from our survey team and participate in the survey/study. 
Thanks,
…Belinda
 
 
“You have been selected to participate in a very important study on the response of "Autoimmune" conditions to treatment with the Marshall Protocol that we hope to have published in a peer reviewed journal this year.  The data will also be extremely important to have for the ARF sponsored Vitamin D session at the International Conference on Autoimmunity in Portugal in September. 
 
Joyce Waterhouse, PhD, is leading a team of volunteers who are analyzing the data.  The team also includes myself, Paul Albert and Tom Perez.  It is important that we have as high a response rate as possible, so everyone who has one of the selected Autoimmune conditions is needed. Your identity will be kept anonymous when the results are published or presented and will not be shared beyond those people on the research team who need to see it.  You can read more about it here:
 
IMPORTANT - Survey Deadline Approaching - Dr. Marshall's Perspective. But if you don't have time to read all that, you don't need to. 
 
If you have a previous version of the survey, don't answer that one, since we would rather have you obtain a newer version of the survey, in which a few refinements/corrections of wording and instructions have been made. Instead, email me and I will send you the new version. If you already returned the survey, let me know, since it might have been lost in transit or misfiled.
 
We have decided that for those people, who don't have the time/energy etc.., to read and fill out the survey right now, we will give them the opportunity to do it by phone.  And if you only have very little time, we can keep it as short as a 10 minute conversation and cover just the most essential questions.  Email me and we can arrange for me to call you (or if you'd rather call me, that is O.K. too).  We need your responses by March 9th.  Thanks very much for your cooperation.
 
Dr. Marshall says:  "This survey/study is extremely important and I hope you will do your best to help with this."
 
So, please email me and we can arrange your written or phone survey. Even if you are not planning to participate, we would still much appreciate a brief email from you so we know if you are still on the MP and that you read this message.
