+ | |||
+ | //from DJ in California.// | ||
+ | During the summer of 2013 I looked at 2,000 records of people using the Marshall Protocol. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I eliminated all records that had less than 20 messages, as these were usually inquiries into the treatment without actual participation. I eliminated all records from people who had been banned from the site. I eliminated all records from Health Professionals who did not actually have disease. I eliminated all records where I could not find a valid progress report. This left me with 864 meaningful records. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I tried my best to be unbiased as I was expecting to see about a 20% improvement in health of members, or in other words a 20-25% success rate. I was intending to compare this to the 10% success rate I found done on the use of prednisone to treat Sarcoidosis. That double blind report shows that 10% treated with prednisone achieve remission. (BTW remission in Sarcoidosis as far as I can find out is measured rather subjectively) | ||
+ | |||
+ | The following information is what I found: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sarcoidosis: | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | TOTALS: 864 members;573 report success; 119 report no success; and for 172 results are not clear. | ||
+ | |||
+ | SUCCESS RATES: | ||
+ | Over all success rate 66.32% Over all unsuccessful 13.77% Over all unsure 19.91% | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sarcoidosis success 75.8% | ||
+ | |||
+ | All Other Th1 disease success 59.8% | ||
+ | |||
+ | What we who are a part of this forum, who stuck with the protocol long enough, who endured the IP and were able to keep a doctor, report is that this has a better than 50% success rate. | ||

* **obstructive lung disease** – It's a little-recognized fact that sarcoidosis can cause PFTs results to indicate obstructive lung disease (sarcoidosis is considered a restrictive lung disease). This is because chest lymph nodes may become so enlarged they compress airways and/or granulomas themselves may obstruct airways.

- | * **pulmonary fibrosis** – Formation or development of fibrous connective tissue in the lungs. Also called scarring, the creation of collagen allows the body to encase pathogens which have been missed by the immune system. Symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis include shortness of breath, a chronic dry cough, and chest discomfort. The angiotensin blockade (put into place by olmesartan) inhibits the formation of new fibrotic tissue. | + | * **pulmonary fibrosis** – Formation or development of fibrous connective tissue in the lungs.
