 +Pain is a symptom of Th1 disease and can be exacerbated by immunopathology. Marshall Protocol (MP) patients should always use 40mg of olmesartan (Benicar) every four hours, or more often, before resorting to pain medications. 20mg OLM under the tongue is quicker where pain is extreme.

 The effects of pain medications drugs on the immune system are not known. At present, it can't be said to what extent these drugs interfere with immunopathology. While it's strongly possible that some pain medications might temper immune system activity, patients taking them have made progress while taking them. As long as patients feel they're still experiencing immunopathology and that the medications are taken for reasons of necessity, pain medications are not contraindicated. The effects of pain medications drugs on the immune system are not known.

 In conjunction with their physician or a pain management specialist, patients may want to experiment with different pain killers to see if any of them seem to lower not just pain but other disease symptoms. If they feel a particular pain medication is lowering immunopathology they are able to tolerate, they may want to ask their physician to change to a medication that does not elicit such an effect. In conjunction with their physician or a pain management specialist, patients may want to experiment with different pain killers to see if any of them seem to lower not just pain but other disease symptoms.
