| I have just read an article about "adult onset asthma", which was treated outside mainstream medicine by a research doctor, used a several-months-long treatment of Azithromax. I believe he was treating chlamydia pneumonae, a bacteria which he believes is involved. The patient reporting this was cured over the period of a year, after contacting someone doing the research, because his regular doctor wouldn't agree to anything other than the usual palliative treatments. Is there anyone who is using the Marshall Protocol for the treatment of asthma, and has it been effective? I realize the antibiotics are not the same, but the cause, being researched, is a bacterial one, which made me wonder.

Hi, I had Chronic Lyme undiagnosed when I started to work in a building with a brook in the back. This brook would overflow upon heavy rain, causing a SEVERE mold issue for me. (worked there for 2 years) I never had Asthma till then. I collapsed at work, 7 years ago. It took me another year to finally get my Lyme diagnosis. I was on a nebulizer, steroid inhaler, bronchial inhaler, rescue inhaler and oral medication for my lungs. All at the same time. (nebulizer for 1 year) I was a mess.
After finally getting the Lyme diagnosis, I was put on 1,000mg of Ceftin and 500mg of Zithromax a day for 4 years. Also had 1 month of IV treatment, 1 year apart. Then put on Minocycline 100mg. This DID NOT help. I also wore a personal air purfier around my neck for 5 years 24/7, due to MCS, which exacerbated my Asthma.
I have been on the MP for 22 months. I had to get off the steroid inhaler in order to start the MP. I was scared to do this, but the Benicar seemed to help a great deal with the inflammation. After 8 months, I was able to stop the meds I used to take for all my other conditions. After 12 months, I no longer could take the 12 hour ( long acting) bronchial inhaler. It would make me feel ill. I am only using my rescue inhaler 4 times a day, to control my Asthma. My MCS has improved, thus not being such a big trigger anymore. BENICAR actually stopped an Asthma attack I was having when out, within 10 minutes. (I should have chewed and put it under my tongue) I had left my inhaler home, and felt doomed, then tried the Benicar, and WOW.
After 16 months on the MP, I no longer wear the air purfier!!!!! The adjustable bed I have, I used to sleep at an 85 degree angle (almost totally upright), now I can sleep at a 45 degree angle with a pillow (I was not able to take the pressure of a pillow on my back before the MP).
I am on low doses of phase 3 abx on the MP, and I am having wonderful results!!!!!
This should give you a good idea just HOW much the MP has helped my Asthma.
Take Care, Lori
