An IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING about the Marshall Protocol
-The Marshall Protocol must be followed exactly
The Marshall Protocol is a powerful treatment plan. Every aspect of the MP was designed with safety in mind. All aspects must be followed carefully to ensure safety and success.
Before you begin the MP, you must read and thoroughly understand the Phase 1 Document.pdf . It is the patient's responsibility to see that the prescribing doctor is following the MP correctly.
-Do not combine other protocols or treatments with the MP
Combining other protocols with the Marshall Protocol (MP) will not work, and can lead to dangerous immunopathology. Components of other protocols or alternative treatments such as (but not limited to) supplements, vitamins, glyconutrients, rife machine, infrared sauna, SAD light, chelation, etc are all contraindicated.
-Be sure your doctor understands the protocol
The MP is simple but detailed and all aspects are important. Many doctors seem to give the MP a nod after a cursory examination and, therefore, do not fully understand the protocol. Most doctors do not have or take the time to study the details of the MP and do not take advantage of the private health professionals forum or the opportunity to call Dr. Marshall with questions.
Our study site is the only source that is certain to have reliable information about the MP. Do not assume that your doctor knows all about the MP because s/he has other patients on it or is willing to study it. You must educate yourself to ensure the MP is followed correctly.
-Do not alter the protocol
It has come to our attention that some doctors are altering the Marshall Protocol. These doctors are not yet fully familiar with the MP and are suggesting or ordering 'alternative MP' or 'Modified MP' or 'MP Lite', adding or subtracting whatever they think, despite having contact with Dr Marshall. There are no such protocols.
Combining, varying, or eliminating ANY aspects of the MP may cause unsafe or even dangerous outcomes. A few doctors ordering the MP, do not understand or accept that modifying it may sabotage your success or even jeopardize your safety. The moderators, who are eager to help, have several years of working intensively with hundreds of members on the MP and have the constant guidance of Dr. Marshall.
It is the patient's responsibility to see that the prescribing doctor understands the effectiveness of the MP, and the dangers inherent in deviation from the guidelines. If your doctor orders something contraindicated, politely remind him / her of the MP guidelines.
You cannot stop the MP abruptly without the chance of the immune system continuing to function effectively and symptoms increasing. Cessation of the MP before resolution of symptoms may require careful management.
Please give your doctor this Letter of introduction for your MP supportive doctor.
-Post regularly
To ensure your safety and provide study data, we expect members(even those who think they are doing well independantly), to post in their progress report at least weekly so Staff can catch any problems early and have details of past responses to provide effective assistance. This will also demonstrate your gratitude to Dr. Marshall by providing statistics for our clinical study.
Be sure to notify staff before you take any action that is unfamiliar to you. Staff usually respond within a few hours but we ask members to give us more than a day to answer time sensitive questions.
Members who chose not to become an active participant on the study site are not officially on the Marshall Protocol because it is still in the clinical study stage and there are no physicians yet certified in the practice of the MP.
-Continue to read the study site regularly
Our experience points out the importance of reading this website and posting regularly regardless of what doctor you are seeing or how often you see your doctor.
As long as you are on the protocol, it is essential that you continue reading the study site regularly because important new information is frequently posted.
-Learn to manage immunopathology
In phase one, you will be expected to learn to recognize immunopathology and how to control your immune system response with medication management techniques. Knowing how to manage the MP independently on a day-to-day basis will serve you well should an urgent situation occur.
-The Marshall Protocol is a serious committment
The Marshall Protocol is a serious commitment and should not attempted without fully understanding it. Should you decide to pursue treatment with the MP and wish our assistance, you must agree with the Inclusion criteria for participation in ARF phase II clinical study of the Marshall Protocol which are required for participation in our study and counseling on this study site.
-You must be under the care of a licensed health care provider
The law says you must be under the care of a licensed health care provider. Your doctor is responsible for your welfare. This study site acts in an advisory capacity only. All guidance given on this study site is based on the premise that your doctor supports your participation in our clinical study and that support implies permission to follow our recommendations.
-When the disease process is far advanced
We have many members who are very symptomatic or who have been ill for a long time who are doing well on the MP. But you should know that if the disease process has advanced to the point where symptoms are extremely debilitating or vital organs are severely compromised, it may be very difficult or even impossible to tolerate the immunopathology involved in the healing process.
The degree of illness greatly influences the patient's ability to withstand the Marshall Protocol recovery process. Unfortunately, for some people, the disease process has taken too great a toll on the body and recovery is impossible. There is no way to definitively determine this in advance. It will, ultimately, be up to the individual to decide what level of symptoms they are willing or able to tolerate and up to the doctor to monitor biological processes to make sure they stay within acceptable limits.
-Immunupathology may be difficult to control
In rare cases, folks with advanced disease may develop severe immunopathology that is very difficult to control. Should this happen, you will need to be under the direct supervision of your doctor. Your doctor may call Dr Marshall at any time to discuss your individual treatment.
