Starting the Marshall Protocol

Related article: Resources for patients

Patients intent upon beginning the Marshall ProtocolA curative medical treatment for chronic inflammatory disease. Based on the Marshall Pathogenesis. should familiarize themselves with the various resources and Knowledge Base articles available to the them including:

Important:

The Autoimmunity Research FoundationNon-profit foundation dedicated to exploring a pathogenesis and therapy for chronic disease. does not support or license the public use of this therapy for patients not actively participating on the Marshall Protocol study site at MarshallProtocol.com.

The MP Knowledge Base is partly based on that ongoing longitudinal study supported by the ARF and described below.

Anyone with one or more Auto-immune diagnoses, also anyone with long term medical problems which resist diagnosis, is invited to register.

It is most helpful to the progress of the research, for you then to post if applicable, your decision to postpone, suspend or discontinue use of Olmesartan medoxomil with your reason(s) for this decision.

where this applies, we also would appreciate a brief summary annually or less frequently, to follow up your welfare, in order to make it possible for the research team to analyze outcomes over a ten year period or longer when possible.

If you rarely post progress or take part in other discussion, you may find it necessary to ask for your personal topic to be reactivated. You may send an email to our Admin Staff with a request Thank you

Support Team members.

Online research and support community

The Autoimmunity Research Foundation provides access to a lively online research and support community where the posted experiences of our members have been used to inform directions for new paradigms for recovery from Th1 illness. Member reports of response to various environmental, pharmaceutical and dietary events has also allowed for a more dynamic level of feedback for ongoing research.

In order to join in the conversation, please follow these instructions for How to Register.

Checklist for starting the MP

Before beginning the Marshall Protocol, patients are required to review the Checklist for starting the Marshall Protocol.

Safety warnings

The Marshall Protocol (MP) is a powerful therapy for immune function recovery and must be followed exactly. Every aspect of the MP is designed with a patient's safety in mind. Patients intent on beginning the MP should first ensure that they have completed all the items on the checklist before they begin.

Working with a physician

Related articles: 5 key elements of MP

Patients on the Marshall Protocol (MP) must work with a licensed physician or other healthcare practitioner, such as a nurse practitioner or physician's assistant. Patients who have the most successful outcomes are proactive and prepared. They internalize the requirements for the MP and, when necessary, work to address any of their physicians' concerns about the treatment. At this point, no doctors are certified in the use of the MP.

Finding a physician

Main article: Finding a physician

Generally speaking, it often makes the most sense to work with one's existing doctor when getting on the Marshall Protocol.

Patients who educate themselves, before approaching their doctor, have the most success in getting their doctor to partner with them in their recovery. Especially when they show the initiative to print out the published research and can explain their plan with confidence.

Any doctor's knowledge about the MP is likely very limited. Even those doctors who are the most familiar with the protocol will not always have the time to stay current with the latest sources of information such as conferences and publications.

Many patients find that their doctors appreciate when they take the time to provide copies of newly published papers about the protocol. Some patients forward electronic copies (PDFs) to their doctor's email. Some doctors appreciate when their patients provide paper copies with key points highlighted. We recommend you discuss with your doctor how they would prefer to be kept up to date.

Medical practice is oriented towards “intervention-as-first-response” for nearly everything.

The idea that a human body could recover by removing the burdens being put on it has not quite taken off yet.

Therapeutic probe

Main article: Therapeutic probe

<html></p><div class=“mainarticle”>Related article:</html> Vitamin D metabolite calculator

Used in the context of the Marshall Protocol (MP), a therapeutic probeA 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. refers to a brief trial of the MP, in which patients take regular doses of olmesartan (Benicar) and restrict consumption of vitamin D. The presence of a positive treatment response is taken as an indication that a patient is sick with Th1 diseaseAny of the chronic inflammatory diseases caused by bacterial pathogens. and that the MP is a treatment option for that disease. Although there are other factors and variables, which can strongly suggest the presence of Th1 disease, the therapeutic probe is currently the best method for determining if the MP may be suitable for a patient.

In the context of the therapeutic probe, there are at least three responses or types of responses which indicate that continued treatment with the MP is warranted:

Symptoms which wax and wane in tandem with an every-other-day administration of antibiotics are an especially strong indication of Th1 disease.

It is expected that the way a patient responds to the MP will change over time.

Special circumstance – withdrawing vitamin D before starting olmesartan

Some patients who have difficulty finding a supportive doctor or have practical reasons to delay taking the MP medications want to do what they can immediately to start the healing process. Eliminating vitamin D (food and supplements) and avoiding natural or bright light exposure are measures that can be followed prior to a doctor's prescription and may make a patient feel better. It may also allow the immune system to begin functioning and killing bacteria, thus provoking an immune system reaction. This will cause an increase in symptoms (perhaps intolerable) and possibly an increase in inflammationThe complex biological response of vascular tissues to harmful stimuli such as pathogens or damaged cells. It is a protective attempt by the organism to remove the injurious stimuli as well as initiate the healing process for the tissue. to joints and organs not yet protected by olmesartanMedication taken regularly by patients on the Marshall Protocol for its ability to activate the Vitamin D Receptor. Also known by the trade name Benicar. .

Withdrawing vitamin D is encouraged but patients who are not starting olmesartan yet should proceed with caution. All prospective patients, but particularly those who have not yet started olmesartan, should read about a potential withdrawal reaction from light restriction.
