 A [[http://www.wired.com/medtech/health/news/2005/03/66806|2005 article]] on gene therapy described patients who had undergone treatment as “basically cured” – even though three had developed leukemia and one died.
-The above example is a misuse of the word “cure.” For one thing, an actual cure results from a treatment that allows all participants to become well, no side effects or long-term harm included. Did the above study check in with its subjects a decade down the road in order to access their health years later? Probably not. But if they did, the subjects were probably symptomatic again, as gene therapy has not yet been adopted as an effective way to treat disease.

 The public often isn’t satisfied with the medical community’s perception of a “cure,” which is why so many patients have left mainstream medicine – searching for solutions among doctors that practice alternative medicine or even among psychotherapists.
-Unfortunately, for chronically ill patients, commercial culture and the media have combined to progressively define down what “better” means—so much so that assessing the significance of any new “breakthrough” becomes difficult, at best.

 ===== How is the Marshall Protocol different? =====
-The MP is different. It is an attempt to address the underlying cause of Th1 disease – the bacteria causing symptoms in the first place. And unless these bacteria are targeted and killed, Th1 diseases do not go away. Indeed, if they went away on their own, why would there be hundreds of forums on the Internet where people with chronic disease discuss what it’s like to live a life full of relapses and pain?
