-  * **azithromycin (Zithromax)** – Bacteriostatic antibiotic used by Marshall Protocol patients. Has relatively long half-life.+  * **azithromycin (Zithromax)** – Bacteriostatic antibiotic **no longer** used by Marshall Protocol patients. Has relatively long half-life.
   * **Bactrim DS** – Sulfa antibiotic used by patients on the Marshall Protocol. Combination of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. Works by locking bacterial folic acid synthesis.   * **Bactrim DS** – Sulfa antibiotic used by patients on the Marshall Protocol. Combination of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim.

   * **Th1 Pathogens* ** – The community of bacterial pathogens which cause chronic inflammatory disease; one which almost certainly includes multiple species and bacterial forms.   * **Th1 Pathogens* ** – The community of bacterial pathogens which cause chronic inflammatory disease; one which almost certainly includes multiple species and bacterial forms.
   * **Th1 Spectrum Disorder* ** – The overlap of different disease symptoms in different patients with similar diagnoses--caused by the fact that any one bacterial species can contribute to numerous disease states.   * **Th1 Spectrum Disorder* ** – The overlap of different disease symptoms in different patients with similar diagnoses--caused by the fact that any one bacterial species can contribute to numerous disease states.
-  * **tetracycline antibiotics** – Family of bacteriostatic antibiotics, a few of which are used by the Marshall Protocol, including clindamycin, azithromycin (Zithromax), demeclocycline, and minocycline. So-called bacterial resistance to the tetracyclines is overcome with the concurrent use of a Vitamin D Receptor agonist, olmesartan (Benicar).+  * **tetracycline antibiotics** – Family of bacteriostatic antibiotics, a few of which are used by the Marshall Protocol, including clindamycin, demeclocycline, and minocycline.

   * **therapeutic probe* ** – A brief trial of the Marshall Protocol to see if it will generate an immunopathological response. The "gold standard" for testing whether a patient is a good candidate for the MP.   * **therapeutic probe* ** – A brief trial of the Marshall Protocol to see if it will generate an immunopathological response.

   * **TLR2** – A receptor which is expressed on the surface of certain cells and recognizes native or foreign substances and passes on appropriate signals to the cell and/or the nervous system. Part of the body's innate immune response.   * **TLR2** – A receptor which is expressed on the surface of certain cells and recognizes native or foreign substances and passes on appropriate signals to the cell and/or the nervous system.
