Some people never learn or have good fortune!
I re-wrote my PR for Feb 4 to Feb 24 after losing it to the computer crash last night. Was about to SEND the new writing, but wanted just one small bit of information to include that I needed to go to another window. When I came back to this POST REPLY to conclude my PR, everything was lost.  That period of time will hence forth have to become known as the Work of the Phantom of the MP Board. I will not write it again! 
I am alive, and showing slight improvement in some symptoms.  Enough to make me want to continue. I am up to 75 mg of Mino, every other day, for the third time now. I am herxing today!
This is Day 176 on Benicar, Feb 24, Day 142 since start of Mino
Grrrrrrrrrr! Dark Vader

Just to say that I am alive and well, and believe that I am having some small successes with the MP. I will report in detail as soon as I get some time to do so. Busy right now!
I am about ready to do 100 mg mino!
The most noticeable difference is when I compare being at the Chicago Conference to my being at the November EICS Conference in KC, I can see a large difference in how I felt. I really wondered why I had ventured to the KC Conference... I really felt very lousy then, and my eyes burned unbeliveably. I felt almost like my old self while at the Conference in Chicago, and my eyes have not been burning near so much. Very noticeable!
I am very encouraged to continue!
Will tell more later! George (aka, Dark Vader)

Hello, Everybody,
I have been very busy! And not having enough time to report. I will give a more daily report a.s.p. I am keeping a log.
However, this is too good to keep under wraps.
Success is showing!!!
I received my Bowen Q-RIBb test result back from the latest (Tuesday) blood drawing.
My dilution ration is 1:32!!!!!
In June 03, it was 1:128 (the highest)!!!
After much doxycycline, Biaxin, Zithormax and Flagyl, my dilution ration in December was 1:64. I thought that I was gaining on the Body Snatchers.
So, I continued Biaxin, Zithromax, and went up to 1500 mg of Flagyl per day.
In April 04, my dilution ratio was again at the highest...1:128. I was very depressed!!!!
I discovered the sarcinfo.com site on June 9, 04, and immediately reduced my light exposure, etc., as posted.
Now, it is 1:32!!!!! I am elated! It sure seems that the MP is working! I have had more herxing than all previous to the MP. I now have more subjective good results, as well as this objective result to confirm the subjective.
I have to admit to doing the MP slowly (at a less than the recommended pace of the antibiotic) so as to improve my chances of not getting a really bad herx, which would have killed everyone else's chance of doing the MP with my
LLMD, I fear. I will be moving to the recommended pace soon. I am at 100 mg minocycline currently.
George (Not feeling so DARK, now!)

Dear George
noting your mino start date : Mino 10/5/04..... within the FAQs is the information
"It is important not to stay in phase one too long. The bacteria that are resistant to minocycline may find the newly vacated inflammatory tissues a welcome place to multiply. That's why we want you to add a second antibiotic after 3 months or so on the MP. If you are worried about too much Herx, you can start phase two with a reduced minocycline dosage to make sure you don't get sacked by the Herx and then ramp the mino back up to 100mg every other day."
all best, Barb ....

Barb,
Ooooops! I forgot that nature abhors a vacuum. 
Been too busy! Thanks, for the reminder!
I guess I will have to go over to the requesting site for Phase II.
George

Hi, All,
Still chugging along, and herxing regularly. My herxes have been only light to moderate of late, so decided to start my second abx last night on Phase Two. Herx came quicker this time, but so far, ok.
I have correlated my nightly leg spasms to the amount of light I have gotten during the day previously. The spike in 125D hormone causing more resorption, putting extra calcium into the blood stream, upsetting the calcium/magnesium balance????
Will give a daily record yet. I promise! Still keeping the log.
Have been on a project to get my State DOH to have docs report "borreliosis" as well as "Lyme Disease" cases. Too many cases are falling through the woodwork. If anyone is interested in doing the same, drop me a Private Message. My Petition is getting "due process".
Wellness to all!

George,
Glad to see you are able to keep up the activism. It is critically important to keep these diseases at the forefront of the politicians' minds, especially because pioneers, like Dr Lesley Fein, are even now under attack from their State Medical Boards (New Jersey). We cannot allow the forces of 'status quo' to keep patients suffering.
I am going to write up yesterday's stunning "30th Anniversay of Lyme" conference as soon as I get back home (this evening). I want to put on the Internet a video of the speech made by the Connecticut Attorney General at the conference (yes, he was there, 'CT Secret Service,' and all).
We can make a difference...
..Trevor.

Hi, All,
Just chugging along doing ok. Still keeping the log.
I am on my third cycle of the Phase II. The herxes do seem a bit more intense, especially in the third to sixth day as noted by staff. I have found it better to skip one taking of mino near the end of a cycle. Also, have used only 50 mg near the end, too. It is wonderful to know that I am killing those Body Snatchers!! When I am not herxing, my energy level is improving.
I have discovered that Dr. Trevor G. Marshall, Phd, is correct again!  It is about my lower leg muscle spasms at night. I tried many things but had absolutely no good results including two spine surgeries, prior to the MP. However, somewhere in all of that material on the two Marshall websites, it is mentioned that spasms are caused by the 125D hormone being too high. I believe that I have gotten my load of bacteria down considerably from previous to starting the MP as evidence by my Bowen RIBB test dilution ratio going from 128 down to 32, which is helping to bring down the 125D. I have noticed from time to time since starting the MP that I have had NO spasms in my legs at night. I thought that I noticed a correlation between the amount of light that I have received during the day before and the spasms or lack thereof that night. Now, I know with some very definite assurance of the correlation.
I have had to modify the battery holder for a piece of grass mowing equipment that I have. I have noticed that the battery was marginal all along, but now the battery has failed and needed replacement. It is a special battery. I looked locally, but could find none like it, so called the distributor of the machine. The answering machine said that they are in liquidation, and will close in less than two weeks, and that all parts are already sold or moved. I decided to modify my machine to accept a regular auto battery that I can buy at WalMart or whereever.
On Wednesday, I was a good boy and remained in my darkened surroundings per the MP, and had no spasms that night.
On Thursday, I remained in my darkened surroundings until sunset, then went to our "ranch" to work on the modification. Most of the fluorescent lights in the warehouse are not working due to my lack of "energy" to take care of them, so light is considerably reduced. I used an automotive light extension cord with a shield to see what I was doing on the machine, which also protected me from light. Even when I had to use the table saw to cut some wood, I was in very reduced light, but enough to see what I was doing. I still had no spasms that night.
On Friday, yesterday, I did as I did on Thursday, except that I had to work in the old "office" area of the warehouse that has seven foot ceilings, is painted white, and has a number of fluorescent fixtures to provide light.... very bright light... putting together all of the parts that I had cut the night before. I worked right under one of the fluorescent lights for about two hours without any protection for my face, neck and hands... and eyes. I really was focused on what I was doing, not thinking of the MP. There was some critical tolerances to consider on the parts. I worked like this for about two hours.
Last night, I had at least six sets of lower leg muscle spasms. Not the extreme ones that I use to have, but uncomfortable in any circumstance.
All of the received light evidently raised my 125D hormone, which caused a spike in the resorption of calcium from my bones to the blood, which upset the calcium/magnesium ratio. Calcium is used to contract muscles, and, magnesium is used to relax the contraction. Muscle spasms ensued!!! It is a reasonable deduction, and the only one that I can think of as a reason for the spasms to return.
Until I had lowered the level of the bacteria in my body, I could not appreciate this phenomenon. I think that I am on some kind of cusp now in the 125D hormone level that is produced, where just a little change in light can be noticed rather quickly.
These leg spasms at night have been my worse symptom. They have destroyed too much sleep for me. Just getting to the point of knowing what to do to prevent them is another success. I have tried all kinds of things imaginable, even putting a bar of soap under my bedsheets at night, as suggested by a well-meaning syndicated medical doctor.
I also must tell anyone who has not found out, the NoIRs 901 and 907 sunshades are the ones to use, as Trevor has said to do. I had used the blue-green flip-ups and another style over my regular Rx sunglasses. I had used the information provided on the NoIR website last summer to help me choose. That was a mistake! The pamphlet handout from NoIR at the March Conference indicated much better why I should be using the 901 and 907. They are better at stopping ALL light. It started with the fact that I liked the blue-green tones rather than browns. I am use to the browns, now. My eyes are a lot more comfortable now, both inside and outside. Numb, numb-er, and numb-est!
Best to all!
Dark Vader (aka, George)

I wrote a few weeks ago...
"Why is air like sex? No big deal until you are not getting any."
Well, this will be a Memorable Memorial Day for me, and DW!!!!!
Trevor has said that the 125D hormone affects all other hormones. In April of two years ago, I did a 24-hour hormone panel that showed that my hormones were all out of kilter, and that my testesterone was sub-basement. I knew it!!! I considered Viagra, but I really do not like such. I thought that there must be an another answer than that.
Well, it sure does appear that Trevor is correct about the 125D affecting all other hormones!!!!! for at least two years.
Would you allow me to count this as another SUCCESS!?!? of the MP. All indications are that it is the reason.
Dark Vader (aka, George, the Smiling One!)

Well, Congratulations George!
I daresay that will be the very best incentive to keep the 1,25D levels down..

Thanks for opening this door, George.
It's something of interest to all of us and a testimony as to how CWD bacteria affect every aspect of our lives. I don't even feel I'm the same person I used to be.

Hi, All,
I will catch up with daily posting, yet.
Herxing harder on the Phase II than I did on Phase I, but ok! I almost thought that Phase I was a "joy ride". I understand now just how much that was a learning experience preparing me for Phase II.
Another success?!?! I have noticed that my nostrils are now open must of the time versus being closed most of the time. I was a big mouth breather, and didn't really realize it. This phenomenon is particularly true while lying down.
My thanks to Trevor!
Dark Vader (aka, George)

Hi, All,
Another success!!!!
It appears that I have licked the Wilson's Temperature Syndrome that I had before doing the MP. My temperature would usually be 97.X, day in and day out, except when I would exert myself, and "overheat" somewhat. I did not let my doc treat me for it. It would involve taking hormones, and a delicate balance at that of hormones....if it really worked.
You can use Google and find a number of websites on the "disease".
However, it sure looks like it is another of Trevor Marshall's coups! One hormone, 125D, affecting all others.
I finally took my temperature day before yesterday... 98.6. Yesterday, it was 98.6, and today, it was 98.6. I grant you that I will need to take my temp for awhile longer to be sure. However, three days in row says something! I have not had a 98.6, my normal temperature, in a number of years. I just do not know since when.
It encourages me! I hope it does you, too.
Dark Vader (aka, George, staying in the dark)

Hi, Everyone,
I promised to make my logbook available to all to read. Here is its! After two computer glitches/failures. The Phoenix rises!!! Through Phase I. Herxing for me usually consists of feeling lousy, groggy, dizzy, brain fog, and wanting/needing to sleep. Occasionally, I have experienced a localized pain that I have noted. But localized pain is not part of my usual herx. Also, I did take it slow in Phase I so that I would not run the risk of having a too strong a herx that would scare my doc. Now, maybe that I am proving it's usefullness, he will start other folks on it, too.
Feb 4, Day 156 on Benicar, q6h, Day 122 since start of Mino
109/53/68 @ 2:15PM
Slept from midnight until 1:30AM when awakened by leg spasm. Could not go back to sleep until about 5:30AM. Slept with only two legs spasms until noon. Had to for force myself awake. Feel as though I am herxing. Have that that drugged feeling. It continued thoughout remainder of the day. Felt like crashing early but resisted…and woke up until about 3:30 AM.
Feb 5, Day 157 on Benicar, q6h, Day 123 since start of Mino
116/59/71 @ 9:40PM
Took 50 mg Mino at 9:00 PM
Slept with only about three interruptions by leg spasms until noon, and really had to force myself awake. But felt energetic rest of day. Went to bed at 11:20PM but stayed awake until 3:00ish.
Feb 6, Day 158 on Benicar, q6h, Day 124 since start of Mino
105/47/72 @ 9:40PM
Slept until noon when I had to force myself awake. Had only one leg spasm interruption during the night. Felt as though I was having a mild herx. Kept getting funny bouts of energy, interspersed with herx. I think that I am starting to notice that the feeling that my lower legs weigh 200 lbs is going away. My legs are beginning to “just be there”, and very usable. I am hopiog that it continues. Since I know that I herxed today, I will stay at 50 mg of mino tomorrow.
Feb 7, Day 159 on Benicar, q6h, Day 125 since start of Mino
125/63/78 @ 9:50PM
Took 50 mg Mino at 10:20PM
Finally got asleep about 2:30AM. Had a good night’s sleep. NO leg spasms! Arose about 10:00AM with moderate amount of energy. Did not have that feeling of being energetic that I had in waves yesterday. And legs were not feeling heavy. But the tingling in toes was at a higher level. Almost felt like I had a 125D hormone flare, and eyes did burn some. Might have looked at the computer monitor too much today? At 10:00PM, I felt as though I could go to bed and right to sleep. Took Mino at 10:20, but didn’t go to bed until 11:30PM.
Feb 8, Day 160 on Benicar, q6h, Day 126 since start of Mino
Herxed today! Slept until noonish. Dragged rest of day.
Feb 9, Day 161 on Benicar, q6h, Day 127 since start of Mino
Took 62.5 mg Mino at 10:15PM
Felt good in afternoon.
Feb 10, Day 162 on Benicar, q6h, Day 128 since start of Mino
I slept until around noon. Herxed a bit stronger than at 50 mg. Dragged around today. Hard day, but not unbearable. Just very uncomfortable. Took an extra Benicar today. Went to bed and asleep at 9:45ish. But forgot to set alarm for Benicar at midnight. Took it at 1:45AM.
Feb 11, Day 163 on Benicar, q6h, Day 129 since start of Mino
107/56/71 @ 10:30PM
Took 62.5 mg Mino at 10:30PM
Awoke at 1:45AM. Could not go back to sleep! Arose at 4:30AM and stayed up until 4:15PM. Took an additional Benicar today. Had to make a number of excursions outside… some not totally protected. Felt like I was flaring today… eyes burned much. Napped for about one and a half hours starting at 4:00PM. Lack of sleep last night had its affect on me. But still believe that I could discern a hormone flare all afternoon and evening. To bed around 11`:00.
Strange phenomenon going on for about the last week… I have an increased sense of smell. Also, I have been spitting up some greenish phlegm maybe a quarter to a half teaspoonful per day. It is very sticky! I have never seen anything quite like it before. I have not had a U.R.I. recently or currently.
Feb 12, Day 164 on Benicar, q6h, Day 130 since start of Mino
Arose at 11:00AMish. Felt as though I had a mild herx this morning, but was a “nothing” the remainder of the day. I wonder if the big hormone flare that I had yesterday interfered with bacterial die-off. Was not ver energetic, nor ambitious mentally, but just did not feel herxy.
Feb 13, Day 165 on Benicar, q6h, Day 131 since start of Mino
Took 62.5 mg Mino at 9:30PM

Had best night’s sleep in years! Went to bed and sleep at 11:30PM. Woke at 3:20AM, 6:25AM, then 10:05AM. Felt rested and energetic. Should be herxing but at noon, cannot say that I am. Only 2 sets of spasms last night – moderate level.

107/57/59 @ 9:55PM
Herxing, just a couple of spasms last night. Left testicle hurt this morning. Balance off. Slept all afternoon. Had odd head pain today…all over within the head. Lasted 20-30 minutes.

Had trouble going to sleep last night. Saw 3:00AM on clock. Arose at 7:00AM. Felt tired all morning. Finally, slept for two and a half hours in afternoon. No herx today, no hormone flare. But no great energy.
Feb 24, Day 176 on Benicar, q6h, Day 142 since start of Mino
116/54/71 @ 12:45PM
Herxing today! Feel drugged, foggy brain, equilibrium is off, would not want to fly or even drive an auto today.
Feb 25, Day 177 on Benicar, q6h, Day 143 since start of Mino
110/59/40 @ 8:15AM
Felt good. Worked on computers at office for 7 to 8 hours without usual light protection. Computers drove me nuts today! Skipped mino on account of a dinner party next night.
Feb 26, Day 178 on Benicar, q6h, Day 144 since start of Mino
Had numerous and intense leg spasms during the night. Felt lousy at noon because of lack of sleep. Still had to have too much light today.
Feb 27, Day 177 on Benicar, q6h, Day 145 since start of Mino
Took 73.O mg Mino at 3:30PM

Mar 2, Day 180 on Benicar, q6h, Day 148 since start of Mino
Herxed, but not bad. Worked at office on computers and did some supervision to outside crew doing work on building.
Mar 3, Day 181 on Benicar, q6h, Day 149 since start of Mino
97/55/78 @ 1:15PM
Lousy morning! Slept until 10:15 when leg cramps and telephone call arose me. Had a fair number of spasms during the night. Could not figure if I was herxing or had a hormone flare from yesterday. I think that much of it was hormonal due to light exposure.
Mar 4, Day 182 on Benicar, q6h, Day 150 since start of Mino
Took 74.0 mg Mino @ 11:10PM
Still had a bit of hormone flare today on account of getting outside at office and working on computers. Very hard to dodge light while working on computers…need to see.
Mar 5, Day 183 on Benicar, q6h, Day 151 since start of Mino
105/55/64 @ 8:45AM
Expected to herx, but felt good and energetic. Worked on computers at office again. Had a laptop crashed good, and another overheat and become unstable, which caused me to become very frustrated and depressed. Makes me wonder if it is all worth the effort. Taxes will probably take a good chunk.
Mar 6, Day 184 on Benicar, q6h, Day 152 since start of Mino
Felt lousy all day! Not sure if herx, but suspect hormone flare. Spasms increased last night.
Mar 7, Day 185 on Benicar, q6h, Day 153 since start of Mino
Felt rather good all day. Spasms reduced. Too much to do to take mino. Did not want to herx.
Mar 8, Day 186 on Benicar, q6h, Day 154 since start of Mino
117/55/59 @ 12:20PM
Took 74.0mg Mino @ 1:20pm
Felt good. Had just a couple of spasms last night. Started to herx around 6:00PM. Had some arthritic pains in shouder like when I first came down with the disease.
Mar 9, Day 187 on Benicar, q6h, Day 155 since start of Mino
Herxing!! Felt lousy!!! Just do not want to do anything.
Mar 10, Day 188 on Benicar, q6h, Day 156 since start of Mino
Slept fairly decently last night. I think I slept from 11:00 PM until 7:00AM with alarm at 1:00AM, leg spasm at 3:20AM then alarm at 7:00AM. Did have a spasm at each alarm also with the movement of my legs. But awoke and arose feeling good, and somewhat energetic. Hand joints are “arthritic” feeling, and affecting penmanship. Had small, fleeting head pains a number of times. To bed and asleep by 9:15PM.
Mar 11, Day 189 on Benicar, q6h, Day 157 since start of Mino
Awoke at 12:20AM, and stayed awake until 3:00. Awoke and arose at 9:45AM. Felt good! Had 3 sets of leg spasms last night.
To Chicago for ARF Conference!
Mar 12, 13, 14 Days 190-192 on Benicar, q6h, Days 158-160 since start of Mino
Kept up the Benicar but skipped the Mino. Felt good! Much better than I had at the November EICS Conference. First sign that I was making progress. I really dragged, felt lousy at the November Conference. But managed this Conference feeling fairly decently. The leg spasms did increase somewhat from having too much light. Visited son and friend in the Chicago area after the Conference, which helped to expose me to more light.
Mar 15, Day 193 on Benicar, q6h, Day 161 since start of Mino
Cave-dwelled strongly today. Kind of crashed in the evening. To bed and asleep by 9:30PM. Slept with only two interruptions until about 8:30AM.
Mar 16, Day 194 on Benicar, q6h, Day 162 since start of Mino
Took 74.0 mg of Mino @ 3:10PM
Felt good upon getting up upon arising at 9:30AM. Really cave-dwelled again today in very dark bedroom.
Mar 17, Day 195 on Benicar, q6h, Day 163 since start of Mino
Was thinking of taking a full 100 mg of yesterday, but didn’t, and am glad of it. Cave-dwelling with only the 74 mg of mino yesterday knocked my on my kisser today. Slept from 8:00AM until 3:00PM extra. Then, dragged the rest of the day.
Mar 18, Day 196 on Benicar, q6h, Day 164 since start of Mino
Dragged until about 5:00PM. Worked outside on office driveway parking spaces markers from 1:00PM until 5:45PM. By 8:30PM, “feet almost ok”… whatever that may mean… written in retro. Decided to wait to take mino on account of feeling so lousy.
Mar 19, Day 197 on Benicar, q6h, Day 165 since start of Mino
Took 74 mg of Mino @ 3:30PM
Slept until 11:15AM. Felt groggy, like either herx or flare. Dizzy. Took mino and continued to feel lousy the remainde of the day.
Mar 20, Day 198 on Benicar, q6h, Day 166 since start of Mino
Asleep yesterday at 1:00AM this morning. Slept until 9:45. Felt as though herxing. By 1:30PM, not too bad.
Mar 21, Day 199 on Benicar, q6h, Day 167 since start on Mino
Took 74 mg Mino @ 3:30PM
Slept until 10:00AMish when awoke by telephone call. Felt as though I was herxing. Kept self busy by getting p/u truck out of being stuck in soft earth in side yard, put there by DW. Honest! Felt mildly herxy all day. Decided to do one more 74 mg of mino before starting 100 mg.
Mar 22, Day 200 on Benicar, q6h, Day 168 since start of Mino
Herxed mildly today.
Mar 23, Day 201 on Benicar, q6h, Day 169 since start of Mino
Took 74mg Mino @ 5:10PM
Felt rather good today.
Mar 24, Day 202 on Benicar, q6h, Day 170 since start of Mino
Had expected to herx, but only had a mild herx later in day.
Mar 25, Day 203 on Benicar, q6h, Day 171 since start of Mino
Had mild herx thru out early part of day. Forgot to take mino.
Mar 26, Day 204 on Benicar, q6h, Day 172 since start of Mino
Felt good today, but omitted taking mino due to being too busy. Asleep by 11:00PM.
Mar 27, Day 205 on Benicar, q6h, Day 173 since start of Mino
Took 100 mg of Mino @ 9:20PM
Awoke at 4:30AM by a spasm. Had only one other spasm. Felt good when I arose at 6:20AM. Worked all day. Felt good!
Mar 28, Day 206 on Benicar, q6h, Day 174 since start of Mino
Herx strongly. Slept lots, and, then still felt lousy.
Mar 29, Day 207 on Benicar, q6h, Day 175 since start of Mino
Still herxing today but less strong than yesterday. To bed by 10:30PM and asleep by 11:00PM
Mar 30, Day 208 on Benicar, q6h, Day 176 since start of Mino
Awoke by alarm at 1:00AM for Benicar. Went right back to sleep. Slept until 6:50AM. Took Benicar, and laid in bed until 7:30AM. Felt good and energetic until about 6:00PM. Decide to wait another day for mino so could be clear thinking for project with DOH.
Mar 31, Day 209 on Benicar, q6h, Day 177 since start of Mino
Took 100 mg Mino @ 10:50PM
Ok day, but not really energetic though I slept until 10:00AM. Sleep was broken up, as is usual for me. I have not slept eight hours solid in a number of years. Worked on computers at office under fluorescent lights and looking at monitors without NoIR’s. Could not be helped. Penmanship in log is very bad.
Apr 1, Day 210 on Benicar, q6h, Day 178 since start of Mino
Had mild herx today. Slept until 10:00AMish. Felt fairly good after getting up, but with that poisoned herxy feeling. Eyes burned somewhat, too. By 5:00PM, had a feeling that I wanted to nap, but didn’t.
Apr 2, Day 211 on Benicar, q6h, Day 179 since start of Mino
Still on tailend of the herx! Had spasms during the night. I wondered if having four or five handfuls of almonds had anything to do with the spasms. Have been fairly free of the spasms of late.
Apr 3, Day 212 on Benicar, q6h, Day 180 since start of Mino
Took 100 mg Mino @ 10:30PM
Had maybe four sets of spasms last night. Wonder if eating a good number of potatoe chips and a few pretzels has anything to do with it. Eating a few more items lately to see what affect they would have on me. I had to quit many items since they caused me more spasms at night. The neuropathy in my feet seems less today. Not gone, but eased ever so little. Maybe, I am imagining it. Felt good upon arising at about 11:00AM. Had awoke at 10:00AM
Apr 4, Day 213 on Benicar, q6h, Day 181 since start of Mino
Herxing mildly. But would not have flown an airplane today…groggy, like on a drunk, but I did not have the pleasure.
Apr 5, Day 214 on Benicar, q6h, Day 182 since start of Mino
Mild herxing continued today, even by 9:00PM. Asleep by about 9:30PM

Apr 7, Day 216 on Benicar, q6h, Day 184 since start of Mino
Awoke naturally around midnight, wide awake. Stayed in bed until 1:15AM then worked at computer until 3:45AM. Asleep again by 4:00AM, until 11:30AM. Got up and did some things. Down and asleep again by 2:30PM until 6:00PM. Herxing!!!! Feel lousy. Groggy. Irritable. Poisoned. To bed at midnight, and asleep soon afterwards.
Apr 8, Day 217 on Benicar, q6h, Day 185 since start of Mino
Took 100mg Mino @ 11:00PM
Awoke at 6:00AM account of need to “go”. NO SPASMS! Neuropathy in left foot was reduced until about 9:30AM. Right was also slightly reduced. I felt good in the afternoon.
Apr 9, Day 218 on Benicar, q6h, Day 186 since start of Mino
Herxed moderately.
Apr 10, Day 219 on Benicar, q6h, Day 187 since start of Mino
Had a fair night’s sleep last night. Feel as thought I am still herxing today – want to go back to bed. Herxed until about 4:00PM, then felt “normal” afterwards. Ate two pieces of “Tia Masue” (sp?) cake at supper.
Apr 11, Day 220 on Benicar, q6h, Day 188 since start of Mino
Took 100 mg Mino @ 8:00PM
Had a BAD night of leg spasms. More in number than I have had recently, but of “light” intensity. I felt odd today. Lacked energy and depressed somewhat, as I do when I am herxing. To bed and asleep by 9:00PM.
Apr 12, Day 221 on Benicar, q6h, Day 189 since start of Mino
Awoke at 2:30AM for Benicar (off schedule) and stayed awake until 4:30AM. The slept until near 11:00AM. Herxing for sure today. To sleep around 10:00PM.
Apr 13, Day 222 on Benicar, q6h, Day 190 since start of Mino
Took Benicar at 1:00AM. Back to bed and asleep until 4:00AM. Laid awake until 7:00AMish, when I fell asleep until 11:30AM. Was out in town until 6:20PM. Felt good until around 4:00PM, when I started a hormone flare. Decided to hold off on mino to do taxes and such.
Apr 14, Day 223 on Benicar, q6h, Day 191 since start of Mino
Just ok!
Apr 15, Day 224 on Benicar, q6h, Day 192 since start of Mino

Apr 17, Day 226 on Benicar, q6h, Day 194 since start of Mino
109/46/71 @ 4:20PM
Took 100mg Mino @ 4:15PM (extra dose by mistake)
Slept from midnight Benicar until 9:15AM with only three interruptions on account of light spasms…. a good night! Rest of day was good, too. Eyes did burn. Discovered that I was not using the correct NoIRs. I ordered the 901 & 907 NoIRs today. I did not herx up unto sleep time. If anything, I was energetic. Taking the extra 100mg of mino seems to have killed a herx as per information on the MP.
Apr 18, Day 227 on Benicar, q6h, Day 195 since start of Mino
115/55/64 @ 2:50PM
Had a good night’s sleep. Five and a half to six hours with no interruptions. Only one leg spasm at 6:00AM. Felt good most of morning, up to about noon, Then, herxing!!!! Dopey, drugged feeling. Slow mind. Took nap for a short spell.
Apr 19, Day 228 on Benicar, q6h, Day 196 since start of Mino
Had three sets of light intensity spasms. Traveled to LLMD two hours away – one way. Used some NoIR Spectrashields, which helped but are not as good as the 901 & 907. Did ok with eyes and no hormone flare.
Took vacation from mino to travel to LLMD, and, to work on project with MO DOH. Next mino will be on April 29 (if I kept my log correctly).
Apr 20, Day 229 on Benicar, q6h, Day 197 since start of Mino
Felt ok in morning, but crashed for three hours in the afternoon, probably from lack of sleep the night before.
Apr 21, Day 230 on Benicar, q6h, Day 198 since start of Mino
Decent night’s sleep. Awoke fairly refreshed. Only three light spasms. Felt very good until about 4:00PMish, then faded but kept going.
Apr 22, Day 231 on Benicar, q6h, Day 199 since start of Mino
Good day! But had eaten some potatoes and had too many spasms, four or five and harder than recent.
But the good news! My Bowen RIBb test dilution ratio fell from the highest, 128, to only 32 after doing the MP. I could not move my dilution ratio from the highest using the LLMD’s AP (antibiotic protocol) for many months, even years.
Apr 23 to 27, Days 232 to 236 on Benicar, Days 200 to 204 on Mino
Took a holiday from mino to do a project with MO DOH. Continued to do the Benicar per usual, q6h.
Apr 28, Day 237 on Benicar, q6h, Day 205 since start of Mino
Cont’d holiday from mino.
Apr 29, Day 238 on Benicar, q6h, Day 206 since start of Mino
Took 100mg Mino @ 5:45PM
Still getting spasms associated with eating bing cherries. Still getting spasms but less in number and intensity than pre-MP. Went to MO DOH yesterday and came down with sore throat twenty-four hours later. Sure glad that they look after the citizens health. J
Apr 30, Day 239 on Benicar, q6h, Day 207 since start of Mino
Herxed moderately. Some brain fog, etc. I noticed that I became VERY faint when arising from a bending over position. Much more so than when on mino holioday last week. There was just a little bit of dizziness when on holiday. But it increased greatly when back on mino and herxing.
May 1, Day 240 on Benicar, q6h, Day 208 since start of Mino
Took 100mg Mino @ 4:55PM
Felt fairly good today. But definitely have a head cold. Nasal blockage/drippy nose. Have that head cold muscular ache.
May 2, Day 241 on Benicar, q6h, Day 209 since start of Mino
Thought that I would herx today, but did not give any usual indications of doing so. Some episodes of increased dizziness when going from bent over position to upright. Stayed in dark bedroom today.
May 3, Day 242 on Benicar, q6h, Day 210 since start of Mino
No spasms last night. Herxed today!!! Slept on couch to keep parrots company for three hours in afternoon. Otherwise, stayed in dark room.
May 4, Day 243 on Benicar, q6h, Day 211 since start of Mino
Had insomnia from 1:00AM until 5:00AM then slept until 9:00AM. Awoke and felt good. Did feel crazy sensations in heart area today, on a somewhat regular basis. Crazy feeling. But all was ok!
May 5, Day 244 on Benicar, q6h, Day 212 since start of Mino
Light to moderate herx today. Had the crazy feelings in heart area again today. Heart involvement was not known about before!!! Slept on couch in parrots room for an hour or so. Had one leg spasm on couch.
This concludes my Progess Report for Phase I.
I have noticed that my Wilson Syndrome…low body temperature…which was in the 97.X and even 96.X range, has ceased. I am recording 98.6 regularly today, 7-10-05, except when I am herxing, then it will wander in the 98.0 to 99.1 range. Those hormones seem to be correcting. This will be my second set of objective numbers to show that the MP does work!!! I could fake how I feel, but I cannot fake those temperatures, nor, the Bowen test score. Thanks! Trevor.
If anyone is interested in why I show a picture with a welding helmet... in the early days of my doing the MP, I thought that I could protect myself from the light of the monitor better. My eyes really seemed to bother me. They would burn, lots. I thought that I was picking up too much light on the skin of my face, too. And I do not like creams. But that strong feeling has dissipated a lot. But I remain the...

August 11th ADD:
HI, All,
The MP(Marshall Protocol) is working!!! Slowly, yes, but working!
I received the result for my latest Bowen q-RIBb test, that looks for borrelia burgdorferi bacteria itself, and not the antibodies to the bacteria.
My new dilution ratio is 16 on blood drawn on 8/8/2005
After doing the MP since 9/1/2004 32 on blood drawn on 4/19/ 2005.
I discovered the sarcinfo.com/marshallprotocol.com websites on 6/9/2004.
In April 2004, I had the highest dilution ratio 128 after doing the LLMDs' AP (antibiotic protocol) of heavy amounts of strong, varied and long term antibioics over almost four years with three remissions and three relapses. I had a Bowen done in June 2003 that showed a dilution ratio of 128 also.
FYI, I may have been infected in the Spring of 1958 with my first known tick bite. I had little in the way of known-at-the-time symptoms until another tick bite on March 31, 2000, then the roof started to fall in on me. My wife had a Bowen dilution ratio of only 16 in August 2003, two months after my original Bowen in June 03, and, even though we thought that she had been infected on June 29, 1999 with a tick bite, nine months ahead of me originally.
I think the Bowen RIBb is a good test to look for Bb! And I think the MP is THE answer for getting rid of them!!!! Thanks!!!!!! Trevor.
Best regards!

Hello, Everyone,
Trevor has said, according to Aussie Barb in Clefelt's P.R.,date of Dec 30, 2005, "Healing takes place on a yearly scale, and testing should follow it in the same timeframe, IMO." I wonder if that can apply to Progress Reports, too?
As you can see, my last P.R. was on July 10, 2005. I got behind on reporting due to the herxing, mostly, making me feel too lousy to want to do so. Once behind, I lost the motivation to do the more-often reporting. Then, hurricane Katrina really threw me a curve with first cutting me off from word of my ninety-one year old Mother, who lives in Slidell, LA, where Katrina went either directly overhead or just very slightly to the East. I finally got word about everything about ten days after the passage. Her house was dumped off of the elevated foundation that older houses use in that area to dodge floods, and broken. Thankfully, she was ok. Unbeknown to me, she had let the flood insurance lapse, and reduced the deductible for the wind damage. I had a good argument going with the insurance company because I found a NOAA aerial picture of the area three days after the storm passage that gave me good ammunition to argue. But so far, I am losing the argument. And I have had to also deal with some family members that I wish that I did not have to deal with. Such is life!
I had to be clear-headed and not have brain-fog, so the last abx that I took was on September 26, 2005. I continued the Benicar and dodged light as well as I could. I did not start up the abx again until November 15, 2005, mino only, and at a reduced amount. I did not start up the second abx of Phase Two until December 7, 2005, at a reduced amount from previous. I am still not up to speed yet that I was at when I last took the abx last on September 26, 2005.
So, I feel that I am a good three months behind in my progress on the MP!!!
However, even with that, I can see some progress, as follows:
1.) I can hold a hammer now. Just before starting the MP, I could not close my hand tight enough. The hammer went flying one day. I guess you can say that the developing arthritis in my hands has decreased.
2.) My nocturnal lower leg spasms are coming under control. I use to get eight to twelve per night at an intensity of moderate to severe, so severe sometimes, that I thought that my bones would break. Just this past week, I have rejoiced with no spasms at night. Well, maybe, once or twice, a very weak one, almost a "none". I do have to watch what I eat though. I had a “high” salicylate grapefruit yesterday for breakfast, and had some light spasms when I had to sleep from a herx yesterday. See my post under Cramps by Ival. I tried bland before the MP and had no luck. Spasms have been my worse symptom. If nothing else goes away and the spasms do, my doing the MP will have been worth it for me.
3.) When I am not herxing or flaring, I do seem to have more energy. Every now and then, I really feel energetic.
4.) My bodily temperature is more often in the 98.X range now as compared to the 97.X or even 96.X range previously. I almost asked my LLMD to do the hormone treatment to kick start my temperature into the normal range. He suggested such. I, and he, did not realize how the 125D hormone affected all other hormones.
5.) My feet felt as though I was walking on a bed of hot charcoals if I were on my feet for twenty minutes... previously. That has gone completely away.
6.) My lower legs no longer feel as though they weigh two hundred pounds.
7.) I do not seem to be "tripping" when I walked like I use to previous to the MP. It was very subtle but I could tell.
8.) The neuropathy, numbness and needles & pins, in my feet are not as bad as previously. It is still there, but less noticeable.
9.) I do seem to be able to go down on my knees to change my parrots' cage paper now easier without the pain afterwards. I seem to be getting the use of my legs back again. Still a ways to go to be as when I was young but I'll take the improvement.
10.) My Bowen q-RIBb dilution ration was driven down by the MP from the highest, 128, to only 16. The LLMDs' AP(antibiotic protocol) did not do that.
11.) And lastly, my A.M.A.S test (Oncolab, Boston, MA, Tel.# 1-800-922-8378 for a FREE kit and information package) "net-tag" score is elevated but ok. This test looks for the cancer antibodies. Normally, if one is NOT doing anything to turn on his/her immune system, one can take the figure to mean he/she probably has a cancer somewhere in his/her body, if the score is in the danger zone. But IMO, this latest score shows that my immune system is being turned on. I happen to think that cancer is caused by the "Russell bodies", a bacteria type organism, in at least a variety of cancers. These bodies were reported by Dr. William Russell, MD, in the 1890's, but the idea was stomped upon by a Dr. Ewing, MD, who founded the American Cancer Society. Some years back, I read that 100% of men over the age of 50 have cancer cells in their prostates... in some, the cancer cells go wild and cancer develops. In others, the cancer cells just hibernate, as it was. The medical docs do not know why this is. I see my NEW elevated (but not in the danger zone) AMAS score as another good thing of doing the MP!!!!!!! It NOW says that my immune system is being turned on to perhaps some cancer cells that are/were in my body.
In August 2003, I did my first AMAS test. My score was very low. My LLMD doc put me on human growth hormone within a week or so of doing the test. One year later, I did another AMAS test and my score was in the danger zone. I have read, too, that Hgh has been shown to cause prostate cancer in men. I mentioned this to my doc, and he just looked at me. I immediately stopped doing the Hgh!!!! and some other hormones. It was also about two weeks later that I started the MP. I did another confirmatory AMAS at this time, and the score came back higher than the first time, in August 2003, but ok. IMO, it was the human growth hormone that was triggering something. Cancer cells in my prostate??? It is enlarged...has been since I was about fifty years of youth... and has made me run more at night than when I was younger. I have noticed lately that I am not running to the john as often at night as previously, so this may be number 12 of good results of the MP.
My DW, Kate, is now using the AMAS in lieu of doing a mammogram. I have read that there is a higher incidence of women getting breast cancer that have done the mammogram than those who do not do a mammogram. It is thought that the squeezing of the breast, and lump(s), is what causes the bad stuff to escape and cause trouble.
The same idea is now starting to be thought with men getting biopsy of the prostate. The biopsy is bad because it allows the bad stuff to be released with the needle puncture. And the men get cancer in higher rates that get the biopsy than not.
I think it is safe to say my early borrelia infection probably developed into neuro-borreliosis. I think that besides the Th1 inflammation affecting my hormones, the spirochetes, or something, have compromised my nerves. I have read a paper by Tom Grier, a Canadian microbiologist, teaching in Western Canada, who has written much about borreliosis over many years, in which he reports that a pathologist in Duluth, MN has reported seeing a spirochete half in and half out of a neuron, while doing an autopsy of the brain of a patient who died from Alzheimer's. That to me is significant!!!!! Pathologist cannot spend the time looking through tons of tissue for spirochetes in neurons. If a neuron is damaged, IMO, the messages that needs to get through on the nerves will not, or, will not properly. It was a happen stance bit of luck. I believe my symptoms are caused by a three prong attack....1.) The Th1 inflammation, 125D dysregulation, and, all that is associated with this pathogenesis, 2.) Spirochetes affecting our nerves, CNS and peripheral, and, 3.) The toxins affecting different parts of my body...brains included. I am not disputing or disallowing anything, not one iota, of what Trevor has said about CWD bacteria...just adding to what he thinks, and says, by adding that spirochetes, as the mobile form of the bacteria, do cause a pathogenic problem of some undisclosed nature that needs further research, also, IMO. I think that the MP will get rid of the spirochete of borrelium, or other mobile forms for other CWD bacteria, also, by getting rid of their base of operations in the macrophages.
By not worrying about the micro-managing of my treatment, or, the daily reporting of my symptoms, I can see the overall good results of the MP. I am very happy that I was introduced to it by Joyce Waterhouse. And very happy that Trevor was allowed by the Lord to deduce this pathogenesis and protocol!!!
I will try to get around to reporting when I took meds, etc., on my Phase Two Progress Reports soon.
Chugging along!
Wellness to all!!!!

I had an interesting experience just this past cycle that all might like to hear about.
As you have read, perhaps my worse symptom has been the nocturnal lower leg spasms. They have been reduc | | |
