 Massage, chiropractic, manual lymphatic drainage, and other manipulation therapies have been touted to alleviate symptoms of chronic disease. Those patients who are sicker or in an earlier stages of the Marshall Protocol (MP) have found that deep tissue massage can generate intolerable symptoms. These patients may want to avoid massage or any other therapies which cause a certain amount of tissue damage. Patients who want to try massage should start slowly and do only what feels beneficial and tolerable. Massage, chiropractic, manual lymphatic drainage, and other manipulation therapies have been touted to alleviate symptoms of chronic disease.

 I feel that the five months of C+Z+M prior to the massage allowed a //huge// amount of toxins and debris to accumulate in my tissues. The massage must have freed up these toxins, poured them into the bloodstream, and dumped them all on my liver at once. My body was probably in a state of toxic shock. I feel that the five months of C+Z+M prior to the massage allowed a //huge// amount of toxins and debris to accumulate in my tissues.

 <blockquote>After starting the MP, I had occasion for a massage therapist to //very gently// massage my hands and forearms for about 15 minutes.  After that, I was in so much pain I could hardly use my hands for several days.  It was terrible!  I can only imagine what it would have been like if I had gotten a two-hour massage....  Even now, when I treat myself to a manicure and pedicure I say "no thank you" to the hand and foot massage. <blockquote>After starting the MP, I had occasion for a massage therapist to //very gently// massage my hands and forearms for about 15 minutes.  After that, I was in so much pain I could hardly use my hands for several days.  It was terrible!  I can only imagine what it would have been like if I had gotten a two-hour massage....  Even now, when I treat myself to a manicure and pedicure I say "no thank you" to the hand and foot massage.

 <blockquote>I have been doing the MP for the past three years for my chronic Lyme. Two years ago, I had two sessions of massage therapy, two weeks apart. I was having great pain in knees, as well as ability to walk. My doctor thought therapy would help. //Big mistake//. I could not walk at all for three days, my legs were numb, felt terriable pain, like two stiff wooden legs. Yet my doctor said, no pain, no gain. I was stupid enough to try again. After all, you get desperate. Once again, the same reaction. Bottom line, never again.  <blockquote>I have been doing the MP for the past three years for my chronic Lyme.

 I got a lot of benefit from lymphatic massage in two areas: my chest, which felt not as tight and heavy and I coughed less and one leg which would swell up. I still rely on lymphatic massage to help with my leg swelling. I got a lot of benefit from lymphatic massage in two areas: my chest, which felt not as tight and heavy and I coughed less and one leg which would swell up.

 <blockquote>Regarding massage, I use a machine called a "pro shiatsu" which I find is superb for relieving any back (or other) muscle herx. You can buy one on eBay for the price of a single real massage and will never have to venture outside into the light for a real massage again.  <blockquote>Regarding massage, I use a machine called a "pro shiatsu" which I find is superb for relieving any back (or other) muscle herx.
