-In many of the diseases the Marshall Protocol (MP) treats, patients may present with elevated cholesterol. Traditionally, it has been assumed that the elevated cholesterol is causing or contributing to the disease process. However, the alternate hypothesis is no less plausible; in certain inflammatory diseases, the body may be deliberately upregulating levels of cholesterol in order to better manage the disease process. Increasing evidence suggests that this alternative explanation may be true.(({{pubmed>long:14631060}})) (({{pubmed>long:20377753}})) For example, a 2010 study found that several bacterial taxa in the oral cavity and the gut correlated with plasma cholesterol levels.(({{pubmed>long:20937873}})) +In many of the diseases the Marshall Protocol (MP) treats, patients may present with elevated cholesterol.

 Both "good" and "bad" forms of cholesterol play pivotal roles in fighting infection, for example, scavenging endotoxins that are released during destruction of pathogenic bacterial forms. While higher levels of total cholesterol are associated with some forms of cardiovascular disease in some patient populations, a number of statistically significant inverse correlations have been found between total cholesterol and various diseases including chronic heart failure, respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases, and various acute infections.  Both "good" and "bad" forms of cholesterol play pivotal roles in fighting infection, for example, scavenging endotoxins that are released during destruction of pathogenic bacterial forms.

-There is also broad evidence that cholesterol does not promote plaque as evidenced by studies that show therapies which directly lower cholesterol may make patients sicker. The article devoted to [[home:othertreatments:antidepressants|statins]] reviews the evidence that statins offer mild protection against disease not through its effect on cholesterol but through their underreported immunomodulatory properties.+There is also broad evidence that cholesterol does not promote plaque as evidenced by studies that show therapies which directly lower cholesterol may make patients sicker.

 Some patients on the Marshall Protocol (MP) have reported temporary increases in cholesterol and triglycerides, an observation which is consistent with a heightened immune response.  Some patients on the Marshall Protocol (MP) have reported temporary increases in cholesterol and triglycerides, an observation which is consistent with a heightened immune response.
