Finding a physician

Generally speaking, it may make more sense to convince one's existing doctor before trying to find a new one. However, Autoimmunity Research Foundation maintains a list of doctors who are or have been willing to prescribe the Marshall Protocol. The list of local MP doctors is available upon request by posting at CureMyTh1.org.

Note that at this point, no doctors are certified in the use of the Marshall Protocol. For this reason, it is important that MP patients familiarize themselves with the stated guidelines.

• CureMyTh1.org - Autoimmunity Research Foundation's list of doctors who prescribe the Marshall Protocol. A list of doctors in a given area is available by request. Note: the list is not comprehensive and may include some doctors who are not interested in prescribing the MP.
• Marshall Protocol's members tab – Members of the Marshall Protocol site frequently list their city and state/province. Patients who are currently on the Protocol are often willing to share their doctors' names via “private message” (PM). The provided link to the MP site is ordered by location - first by country, and then by state/province. Generally speaking, people who post more often are more likely to have a current MP doctor. Note that patients who do not have access to the MP study site may ask a moderator to PM a current member.

• American Academy of Environmental Medicine - professional organization of doctors who use alternative therapies.
• American College of Advancement in Medicine – physicians who take an integrative approach to medicine
• AMA's DoctorFinder – provides professional information about virtually every licensed physician in the United States and its possessions — including more than 690,000 doctors of medicine and doctors of osteopathy or osteopathic medicine.

• Australian College of Nutrition and Environmental Medicine

There is no typical MP physician. However, the following clinicians might be more willing to try prescribing the MP.

• Generalists as opposed to specialists – Doctors who are specialists often consider themselves experts. They are sometimes reluctant to consider a novel treatment approach that is introduced to them by their patient. If a specialist is not agreeable, be sure to ask a primary care provider. Generalists tend to be less guarded and more open to learning.
• Doctors of osteopathy – Some have reported a doctor of osteopathy (DO) might be more open-minded than an MD.
• MD/PhDs – Doctors who are also PhDs may be more receptive to the science which supports the Marshall Protocol.
• Newer doctors – Doctors who are just starting a practice are less likely to refuse patient requests for the Marshall Protocol.
• Nurse Practitioners and Physician's Assistants – These clinicians can order the Marshall Protocol medications and supervise treatment.

When visiting a prospective doctor, be sure to present Autoimmunity Research Foundation's peer-reviewed publications.
