Freddie Ash: Sarcoidosis:
Member in Phase 3
This is Fred in WV. I am a 67 (68 on Sept 1) with a lot of heart problems due to the sarc. I told a doctor that I was like a timex watch, I take a lickin and keep on tickin. The Marshall Protocol is curing me. Most of my heart problems have gone now. I have been on the Marshall Protocol for just over 2 years.
You said. "IS THE MP GOING TO CURE ME FROM ALL THESE OTHER PAIN?" Well I am just a person on the mod phase 2 but I can tell you that I had been on some type of pain pills since Aug 1972 until about Aug 2006 and I have had to use some just for some of my herxing at time, but basicly I have very little pain now due to the MP.
You said, "WILL I LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO GET CURED?" I so think you have a much better chance now to live a lot longer, so like I said I am almost 68 and I am looking forward to several more years of life because of the MP. I told my MP doctor this week that I though I did very well for a 68 year old man that has been thru all the things I have been thru and he looked at me and said, "YES, I DO TOO." I have had 4 bypasses done 2 times, kidney stone cut out, cataract remove, shot in one eye, esphagus stretched, I am on my 2nd pacemaker, my right lung in fused to my rib cage to name a few.
So the way I will put it is YES THE MARSHALL PROTOCOL IS THE ONLY HOPE FOR ME TO LIVE A LONGER LIFE.
Remember, we are all in this together and I am pulling for us.
Your friend in sarcoidosis
Freddie
August 2008:
This is Fred in WV. On the electric shock going thru the whole body, when I was sent to Granview Hospital in Dayton, OH to see what was wrong with me, I was having the same thing.
I was sent there to see a cardiologist becasue I had something wrong with my heart and lungs. I was to go to the ER and the cardiologist would come there to see me and addmitt me. He came in and I was hooked to the heart monitor and when I could feel the shock go thru my body the EKG line on the monitor would go down and it was suppose to go up.
The cardiologist was listening to my heart and he could hear that. He ask if I could feel it, and I said yes. He wanted to know what it felt like. I said it felt like an electric shock going thru my whole body when it did that. I no longer have that problem.
I am just a person in Phase 3 of the Marshall Protocol for over 3 years. It has been a great improvement to my life and I am a 68(69 on Sept 1) year old male. I am having a great time telling every one how much the Marshall Protocol has helped me. I tell every one that will listen. At my MP doctor's office last time he told me he had some patients asking him about the MP and he said they told him they had heard it from me. The Marshall Protocol is the only treatment out there that will help you with any of these TH1 diseases.

Ralph: Lung Sarcoidosis: I feel good.
Member in Phase 3
My Cardiologist was very happy with my stress test and ultrasound of the heart. He was very happy to state that the small amount of fluid around my heart lining has gone. He was very happy indeed. He confirmed he believed I was on the right track.
Of late I have been feeling again a little better with better days. You just feel it. Its hard to explain. My aches & pains are there but at a lower scale. My light sensitivity is again improving but, slowly. With all these people around me with bad bouts of flu and I feel good. My chest really feels clear. My Doc will want another chest x-ray done at the end of the year to see how we are going.
My LFT'S are all ok. A few variations in my blood chemistry results but they just tinker at the borderline. My good old Vit D is at 6ng/ml. And you know what....this month I did not use any creams on my face at all. Yet my D has remained low. I hope you don't think I have been foolish but, I just love pushing the parameters because I have been feeling better. My IP's are manageable.
regards,
Ralph
April 2008:
I'm currently in PH III recovering from Sarc. Each and every one of us recovering have to deal with all types of IP's. We are all different. In my case I was struck with a extreme low Libido for nearly 9 months. Whilst my testosterone was low when measured, it was much lower than previous prior to starting the MP. Today I can't say I am 100%, but I can at least say I am at 90-95% and its been rare that I fall back to those bad old days. My Thyroid functions have also shown up to be eratic. This is normal as my hormonal homeostasis is trying to get back to normal. All in time.
Its my opinion that as I progressed and killed the bacteria my condition improved in this department and many more, including being able to go out. If you do start the MP you will soon learn how the MP works and how you can manage your symptoms. No one will state that our recovery will be easy but, if you want to stop the decline then you have come to the right place.
Be patient and positve and if you can, stay away from those steroids.
Ralph: My family have noticed the extra spring in my feet.

Alaskan Dave: Sarcoidosis: just a progress report on the new life, and how I am cramming everything I love into it.
Member in Phase 3
I häve had a great summer. Went goldmining in a boat I built but had to turn back due to the illness of a crewmember, and than got a free trip to Sweden where I am now leaving for Alaska after playing music here for the last 2 weeks.
I have been hiking because I want to get to a certain shape and the exercise seems to help minimalize the herxes and make me happier.
my diet in Sweden has been a smorgasbord as´I've played a few weddings and parties. I have had a little vacation from the protocol and hope to start again fairly soon, and looking forward to rejoining my sled dog huskies soon and reentering the racing circuit again-
Anyway, just a progress report on the new life, and how I am cramming everything I love into it. Thanks, Dave

Linda Lou: DM2, HTN, Sarc:
Member in Phase 2
I'm feeling and sleeping better these days!
My 02 levels are running between 94 and 98 without supplemental oxygen (even while exercising) but I still desaturate while trying to climb stairs, walk up a hill or whatever. I am no longer coughing or wheezing like I did, even about five months ago.
All in all, a success in the making. Thank you one and all.
Later, Linda Lou

Hans.V
Member in Phase 3
In June 07 I wrote: "Since about 1985 I think, I have bleu/red spots on the inner sit of my upper legs. Surface like blackberries. they came very rapid I think. I don’t look at my legs every day, but when I saw them first it was already 6 cm diameter. It did not hurt at all and I thought at had something to do with varicose veins. I didn’t discuss it with my doctor. Thereafter it did grow with not more than maybe 2 cm.
In February I had the idée that it was shrinking. I showed it to my doctor and he told it was a haemangioma. Now I’m sure it did shrink about 2 cm. It is good to see visible success."
Now. I guess about 75% of the Haemangioma has disappeared.
First another holiday. One week to the East Sea coast of Germany and then two weeks to Poland.
Good luck,
Hans
“Hans V in Phase 3” above my post gives a good feeling for me to be officially in Phase 3.

davbrkr Lyme 40+ yrs: 1 month-17 days on Phase I
I have suffered for decades with chronic fungal infections. Over the past three months it has approached crisis levels. I have thrown everything at the condition I could think of. This may be premature, but over the past 5 days, things have improved???? I’m hoping my immune system is starting to “wake up”.
An interesting 2 weeks since my last post. I have had the best single day in 10 yrs or more. Not only were overall pain levels generally WAY down, but I experienced enhanced neurological abilities that have been absent to long that I had forgotten they ever existed. For years now when I move my head quickly, there has been a slight delay before my eyes refocus. That delay vanished, at least for a few hours. When backing up a car, no matter how many times I look in the three mirrors, I cannot form a single image of what it looks like behind me; so backing up has become an anxiety event. I could do it for a while. The abilities are gone again, but to paraphrase Arnold: “They’ll be back.”
On my good day, I was “out-and-around” for three hrs shopping and doing “stuff” that needed doing. There is no question that I had too much sun exposure, and overdid things. Back pain which has kept me in bed off-and-on for decades was minimal on my “GOOD” day, but punished me the following two days. That’s a familiar pattern. Overall my back pain is down noticeably.

Lyme and bartonella gone....vision improved
My opthalmologist is very impressed with the MP and said he has told everyone about it. He asked me for written permission to give out my name to explain the MP to others. He had not seen me in 2 years. When I saw him in April he had thought he was going to read my obit. He was truly amazed at my progress.
The amazing thing is that I didn't need nearly the correction that I had needed for reading. (Incidently I have been very far sighted all my life and needed glasses to work the microscope after college and it only got worse.) I truly believe it is the MP and he feels it could be. I truly believe I won't be needing glasses not that far down the road. As Trevor says this is a voyage of discovery.
I saw Dr. F last Thurs and I now know the Bartonella is also gone. The Lyme Disease has been gone for 2 yrs.
I need to get more business cards made up, but the pic has to change as I am just getting younger. It is so good to get the brain back, but I still have a long way to go with the waist down, but I now feel that I will go to 120 (yrs) and be very active. ~Sue

Young man completes Law School using the MP!!!
One of the non-reporting MPers, Michael Reichert, from St. Louis, has accomplished a most remarkable task. While fighting borreliosis/Lyme his last two years, he attended and completed Law School, and now has passed the Bar Exam and the MPRE (ethics exam) on his FIRST attempt. He will be sworn into the Bar, tomorrow, September 12, 2007 in Jefferson City, MO.
He had contacted me about whether he could use the MP to finish his schooling. He had two years of law school under his belt at that time, but was feeling very lousy...per usual.
He said that he did it by being on the MP (Marshall Protocol) for his two last years.  He did not have the time to report as many do, and do his studies.
His words, "Yes, feel free to share my story with the forums and credit the mp for my recovery. And I'm still recovering, getting even better!! I can't wait to get my life going and do everything I can to use my legal skills to help not only my normal everyday debtor clients, but also some lyme-related clients as well. I'm not exactly ready to sue the CDC or the insurance companies, but I can now legally help Sarah set up her nonprofit and give legal advice. I'll keep you posted. Feel free to share the gist of this email... Michael"
Congratulations to Michael!!!!!
Wishing all wellness!!!
Dark Vader...aka, George

SteveM: Sarcoidosis, migraines, malaise:
Member in Phase 3
Greetings, I will be introducing Phase 3 into my schedule in a few days. I have tolerated everything very well.
I have noticed a decrease in a variety of my symptoms including complete or almost complete cessation of brain fog, coronal nerve headaches, migraines, sinusitus, and facial nerve pain. My dyspnea seems improved, that is I'm not aware of it nearly as much. I sense improvement in the numbness in my left instep. My symptoms remain : transient irritability, anxiety and depression... all periodic and tolerable.
In general I feel better than I have in years and remain optimistic and encouraged that I am actually recovering. Thank you Dr. Marshall, thank you everyone ! Regards, SteveM.

Two years ago, I could only stand for minutes at a time. Last year I went back to work and frequently taught at a seated position. This year I have not had to sit down at all during instruction. Wow! The healing truly does creep up on you.

I have more energy than I think I have had in two years.

Big John....Reiter's syndrome
Member Phase 3
Hi All! Just Past >>> 3 Years on the MP!!! <<< Wow! 
If you would have told me in 3 years I would be walking by myself, I would have been sceptical, to say the least.
If you would have told me I was doing that without any pain killers except tylenol I would have not believed it.
If you would have told me I would be typing on the computer again and seeing and driving I would have prayed for that to be true.
Well it all is true and much more. Like that poor scare crow in the Wizard of Oz.. I now have a brain... although it leaves me stranded sometimes it always comes back.
My days are becomming full again. I am beginning to enjoy life, once more.
Pain is still an issue, and energy has a habit of expiring quickly. My mind is constantly putting me in positions my body can't keep up with. (This is my way of not accepting responsibility for my predicaments.)
Like the time I walked to the store and had to call my wife to pick me up, cause I was too tired to walk home...
The time I decided to replace the back door and had to have a friend help me finish..
The time I decided to make some signs for my wife's business and had to have her help me finish..
I have no trouble now visualizing what needs to be done or what I want to do, just a little problem finishing it..LOL!!
Blood pressure has dropped now that I have changed BP meds. I am also using Lasix now to shed some edema in my lower legs.
As an English friend of mine says.. "It's all good!" Keep Smiling!

Children on MP... by Mom Cricket: The good news is that the MP works.
Brigand is a better place than she has been in years and that is directly attributable to us having hit hard with the MP over the summer (we ease up during the school year).
Briar hasn't had any issues with asthma for ages and is going gang busters for her soccer season. Can I brag a bit??? Briar is a soccer star who is so good that they had to move her from her original team in order to balance the teams. (And every week, she makes so many goals that they sit her out or put her in goal to keep her from demolishing the other team)
My advice, FWIW, is keep your child in their activities and on the MP. As she improves with the pulsed, low dose antibiotics, your physician will be more willing to add the benicar. Marshall has a good DVD (the one with his presentations to the FDA) that you might want to purchase and give to your physician.
