pdejager: Member in Phase 3
I can best describe my health as far, far better than pre-MP, but I still have a little way to go. I still respond to taking the abx, but sometimes miss a 4-hourly 20mg Olmetec and hardly notice it.
I have never resorted to painkillers to keep going, but was pacing myself so that I had half a life: I worked and slept, and that was it...
About exercising while still ill: The theory of deconditioning as a contributor to/cause of CFS just isnt correct, in my opinion. My metabolism with CFS was catabolic, and exercise only made things worse.
On the MP I have regained my muscle strength, and now can see muscle definition again, with at best light exercise. My weight is now starting to come down, and I feel like exercising more again (probably riding a bike - my Dutch background), but I'll increase it very gradually. At least I can now walk up stairs without my muscles burning...
I can go out in the sun, and do so often for short periods (appropriately covered and with a hat), with little effect. For long sun exposures I still have to pay for it by sleeping in and feeling a bit ill the following day. It doesn't have as much effect if I use microfine ZnO sunscreen. So I suppose that, except for still being a bit sun-shy and continuing to take medication (and feeling a bit ill as a result), my life is normal. It certainly doesn't stop me from doing anything I want to do - I've just booked two short holidays (one flying, one driving), catching up with friends and family, and am planning a six-week jaunt through the UK and Ireland in September/October (something I would not even have thought about 2 1/2 years ago).
I've just come back from another two-week holiday (following one to Queensland in October last year). I drove over 3000km in sun/daylight and had a wonderful time (except when I had to be in full sun for 30 minutes, when I felt a bit off the next day).
I was never as badly affected by sunlight as some, but I do recall having to cover up my bedside alarm clock radio because it was like a searchlight in my bedroom...
I stopped using the 2% NoIRs about 9 months ago: now I use 10% driving in bright sun and 40% when it's overcast, nothing at all inside.
When I go out now and walk around, I still remember how I used to drag myself around, feeling sick as a dog. No way would I stop the MP now. My intellect is back, my muscle strength is back, and I keep on improving all the time. When my doctor recently hinted that he might want me to go off the MP, my reaction was that then I would no longer be his patient: no way will I go back to feeling the way I used to feel!
Yes, I feel good, but while I'm continuing on the MP I keep on feeling better and better, so why stop? Also, I'm still experiencing Herxheimer reactions, so there must still be more bugs in my system to kill. As I explained to my doctor, the only way I'll stop the MP is if I'm no longer feeling better and no longer experiencing a Herx in response to every known combination of MP antibiotics. And even then I'll probably still go back on for a few months every year -- I believe these bugs are so prevalent that I'll probably never be rid of them completely, or become reinfected.
Every time I've thought that this was as good as it was going to get, yet continued on the MP, I've noticed still more improvement -- slow, yes, but improvement nonetheless. In subtle ways: two years ago I could only drive my car for 1 hour before I got such an excruciating hip pain that I had to stop. A year ago I could drive for two hours. Now I don't know what my limit is: I stop for petrol, or a comfort break, or for food and drink after about four hours and my hips don't hurt.
I have so much to catch up on now that I'm feeling better. On the last trip I managed to revive a few friendships that had waned while I was ill.
Another benefit of the MP: I have regained cognitive abilities (aka as getting rid of the "brain fog"). A few years ago I:
- couldn't find the right words for what I wanted to say...
- couldn't add up a column of five numbers (I have a degree in Pure Mathematics) ... and
- (I regret) couldn't grasp the requirements of the MP, so I made quite a few mistakes at first...
I've been promoting the MP, but am continually amazed that people won't accept that they might have to endure some pain in the short term for the gain of long-term better health - but I suppose that's a value judgment on my part.
Of course, you're not me, and your recovery may take a different course, but it has saved my life.
Regards,
Peter
May 2008:
Improvements:
Muscle definition and flexibility continues to improve, as does ability to concentrate for long periods and think clearly. Swollen glands in neck are still decreasing in size. Still happening very slowly…
One thing I haven’t mentioned before now is that I seem to be better able to maintain body temperature – I used to either sweat readily (not just perspire – really sweat!) or shiver uncontrollably in hot and cold weather respectively. That just doesn’t happen any more.
Conclusion:
I got back late from the office today, after spending the whole day there without NoIRs, or a cap. Had two glasses of good Aussie red wine while catching up on emails and watching TV. I feel great!.
June 23rd 2008:
Sleeping much more soundly – it’s not unusual for me to sleep through my 0430 Benicar dose, sometimes for 2 hours. On occasion I have missed a 20mg Benicar dose and just added it to the next 20mg dose, with no apparent effect.
Today I went to the office, walked 100m from the carpark to the building in full sun, no hat, no NoIRs and could not notice any effect.
I only recently noticed that the Black Dog (depression) is gradually leaving me.
Peter de Jager is doing very well after suffering from severe CFS and chemical sensitivities (IBS and depression too).

Caitiegirl: Member in Phase 2:
The movement disorder, which has basically been with us at full force for over a year is all but gone! I know it will probably rear it's ugly head in the future but what a great present to inspire us to keep going. We are looking back at this time last year when we had hit an all time low. Our days were nothing but a combination of seizures, twitches, jerks, stutters, and rolling eyes. I can not tell you how scared I was. And while our first diagnosis was psychiatric, I knew in my heart I was watching my daughter's brain deteriorate before my eyes. I just can't believe the difference.
Today we went to get some medicine and did a little shopping ( in full MP outfit). I saw no twitches, no jerks, no blackouts eventhough we were out over 3 hours during the day. She seemed to have such a great time. I know this is just a snap shot and we have a lot more herxing to go but it's such a gift to have a day like this. ~Mindy

MP Progress: I have realized this for a long time now and just wanted to note that my heart (the way it used beat) used to be one of my biggest symptoms. It used to race so fast for no reason, feel as if it were pounding out of my chest. I couldn't sleep at night sometimes because of it. Anyway, that has gotten practically all better as I haven't had any issues with my heart for at least a year now. I also used to have a shortness of breath, which is completely gone and though insomnia is an issue still, that too is getting better.
Other symptoms have definately gotten better as well. The constant drunken feeling in my head (though it increases and decreases in intensity all the time due to IP), has improved overall.
Fatigue and energy level has improved (though currently its pretty intense because of IP). I have ringing in the ears constantly still, but the loud pitch I always hear has definately gotten softer, which is great.
Overall, I am not bedridden anymore as I used to be each day and I can accomplish more than I have been able to in years. I also want to add that I did not start having any relief at all whatsoever until about the 18 month mark. Until then the symptoms were always heavy and constant ALL the time (never a break).
Currently, due to my symptoms and the intense photosensitivity and not being able to go in the sun yet, I have a ways to go with my healing, BUT I am thrilled about the progress I have made and believe in my heart a full recovery lies ahead.

I was just contemplating over this past year.
-frozen shoulder pain, and the deltoid pain has dissipated. insomnia is almost gone.
-First and foremost my brain power is coming back. It is not back all of the way but word retrieval is so much better.
-I would like to say that when I just roll out of bed in the morning my lower back doesn't hurt any more. The pain was severe.
- No leg cramps, heel pain, migraine headaches, no stomach aches like I used to have, NO BURNING PAIN OF RSD!!! No severe pain of RSD.
-My cane is gone. Balance is so much better.
-Eye sight is better, double vision now correctable with glasses, dry eyes are better. Hearing bass doesn't bother me.
-My hair stopped falling out. I can swallow better. Toenail splitting has stopped.
-My voice doesn't hurt after I talk for a while. Severe depression has lifted, Carpal tunnel pain is gone, I still have the atrophy in many places but the pain is gone!
April 2008:
I am starting to feel human again after so long being a zombie.
May 2008:
I don't have heartburn anymore either.
June 2008:
Most of my brown spots on my hands have disappeared
Oct 2008:
-mind fog is clearing a little more.
-I can even type faster with less mistakes and
-read with more comprehension.
-20 months on the MP have quite a difference in my life.

son: psoriasis resolved: continued working.
Member in Phase 3
My son now 25 yrs old. He had Psoriasis for 2 yrs and was well. The psoriasis started on his lower legs and continued up his body. When he started MP, 1/3 of his legs below his knees were red raw and spots etc elsewhere.
Within 3 days of starting MP the spot on his ears cleared and it continued to recede. Within 12mths 99.99 % gone and he stopped MP.
He lived in low light at his home, and gave up cricket for a season and no swimming. He wore long sleeves, pants, hat and Noir glasses outside most times, and avoided direct sun at least for the first few months. In his diet he avoided some D foods, perhaps 70%.
He never made any changes to his work place in the office and never wore hat and glasses at work. His IP was minimal eg mild headache, a bit dizzy when jumping around. He never missed any work or many other social events.........
He got to Phase 3, and was there for a good few months. In 6 months his skin was really good, other than scarring, which he no longer has.
Benicar was expensive here in Australia then, and he wanted to get back to cricket and etc  . If you look really carefully now and again you may find one spot, smaller then 5mm, but he is happy to live with that.
He has been off MP for over 18mths now. He knows he can go back to MP at any time he wants .......Grace

 I have very few headaches since starting the MP. They used to be a regular part of my life. Now they are rare. I also have more energy than I had prior to the treatment. Between paramedic school, practicums, and work, I often run for weeks without downtime and I always have the energy I need. This was also my first and only flu of the season while my co-workers have all been sick several times with this year's virus'.

 Noting improvements
No trouble sleeping, no shoulder and neck pain overall body aches, no stiff knees, no visual disturbance, no digestive problems, no current skin sores or rashes, no sore joints, no tingling throughout body at night, no numbness in hands and arms, no dizziness or fainting, no muscle fatigue, no fatigue!!, no cramping in legs or feet at night, no congestion, no pain in feet. Also severely cracked heels are spontaneously healing.
I am approaching a point where I feel almost normal and am wondering if it is because I switched antibiotics or because I am just getting better. This is my 16th month so that is possible. Am having very normal busy days now, with most noticable issue the wierd things going on in my feet. The sleepiness is different than fatigue - fatigue meaning I feel tired and need to lay down, sleepiness meaning I feel fine, but if I lay down I crash immediately. So lately if I lay on the sofa to watch TV I am out like a light in no time. Cold sores healed much faster than usual.

 Good stuff: Have had some very productive days – more than ever on the MP.
Am keeping a regular “to do” list that actually generally gets finished, so don’t panic too much about things getting done. I’m taking my first class in a number of years, which is absolutely wonderful. I also feel a strong desire to be more social and connected to the outside world, and am trying to find a part time job that allows me to work from home. That’s the hardest part – finding my own work versus being told what I need to do. It’d be so much easier to just punch some numbers or something that doesn’t require a lot of brainpower...
However, if I’ve had a “good” night’s sleep and brain is working, motivation rears its lovely head much more often on those days. I recall not being able to do ANYTHING when I started the MP!
Long way to go, but the improvements thus far are very apparent - especially the cognitive ones.

Feb 08: Looking back on my journals is very informative.
Two very notable areas of progress. Costachondritis is gone. My ribs are a little tender to the touch but that is it. Since I got SD 4 years ago I haven't been without it...ever. It doesn't hurt to breath at all. It still feels tight but not painful. It's an amazing feeling.
The other area is the nasal lesions. The right one was huge in size, the ENT said it was about half an inch in diameter. If it is there anymore at all I can't feel it and there is no more blood on that side. Just in December it was really bothering me. The left side ones are completely gone. They have been there for at least 3 years. The first time I went through phase 1 the lesions healed a great deal but this time I feel like they are gone.
Some small progress has been made in my gastric tract. I have missed a few doses of my protonix here and there and there were no repercussions! Usually there is increased reflux with only one missed dose but now that is not happening.
March 08:
Things are going smoothly. I have no new IP to report. I think my fatigue levels are improving. I am relying less on caffeine to get me going. I have added in some walking at night or indoors on a treadmill. I seem to be using my 10% NoIRs a little more than I did. Before I only used the 2% NoIRs.
Went to see my GP and he noted that I haven't had bronchitis at all since I started MP. I don't think I've even had a cold. That has not happened in 33 years. I used to get bronchitis/pneumonia at least twice a year...since I was 11 years old. I'm now almost 45.

 I made a lot of progress with my RA on Brown's protocol. I got my life back and achieved something approaching remission, but I wasn't cured. It is more like I hit a plateau. My RA would still rear up at times but just nowhere near as bad.
I wanted a cure if possible and I thought bacterial cause was the most likely so I tried the MP - reducing my Minocin but adding Benicar. I was shocked at how vigorous my herx became and it was not at first in my joints. I discovered that I had infection in my eyes, muscles, and neurons in addition to my joints.
Now I consider myself to be about 97% or 98% cured of RA. I rarely have RA pain, only if I get my antibiotics just right to elicit a tiny RA herx. I wouldn't know it was RA if I hadn't had the raging disease at some point in my life. It is pretty ignorable now. These days on phase-3 I seem to be curing incipient dementia or alzheimers. Most of my herxing is cognitive or emotional now, but fairly light. I continue to work in my career.
I am really glad that I started the MP, I have gone from a tenuous remission to something I now describe as a close cure.
But my other unexpected gains have been better than addressing the RA. -I can think more clearly now than I could for years. -I am calmer than I have been for years. -My GI food sensitivities were growing by leaps and bounds from even before I had RA but now -I can pretty much eat the stuff that I ate when I was 18yo.
May 2008:
My RA is still just about non-existent. These days late in the antibiotics cycle I get just a little inflammation in a few joints, about a 1/2 out of 10 on a pain or inflammation scale. Saturday I sprinted and refereed well earlier in the day and that would have been inconceivable during my nasty rheumatoid arthritis days.
June 08:
I started MP because of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). I tell people today that by my own numbers I am 97% or 98% cured of RA. It is a made up number but it reflects my experience.
In the middle of phase-3 I manage a tiny RA type herx maybe 2 or 3 days in 10, but it is something like 1/4 or 1/2 of 1 out of 10. It is usually just a tiny bit on inflammation in my hands without pain on the last day or two of the cycle.
So why am I still on MP? Well because I started killing microbes in my brain the day I started phase-3. I have had all sorts of cognitive, attention deficit and emotional IP on phase-3. I figure I am curing dementia or some similar brain dysfunction. It took about 11 months at the lowest doses of phase-3 to master the worst of it and I acquired some funny and not so funny stories along the way. But now I can sort of toggle my herxing by manipulating the abx doses up and down as desired. I can create a good few days if I need one for work and if I am working at home and can afford it I can ramp up the herx quite a bit. I hate this neuro herxing worse than any arthralgia that I suffered but I fear the dementia more than I fear the neuro-herxing.
Like I said, I can manipulate the neuro-herxing. I'm sure I wouldn't be able to manipulate dementia. I am long since past worrying about my initial diagnosis. I don't know when I will be done with the MP but I am not ready to quit yet. Well some days it seems attractive to quit, but I don't want microbes to do my thinking for me.
Respecting light exposure and progress; I have worked a demanding career right through this whole MP thing. I travel overseas from 1 to 4 times a year and I usually cut well back on the antibiotics to a previously mastered dose for these trips. It makes me far less light sensitive and as an added bonus, each time I break I have discovered that I have regained considerable health. It is a morale booster.

YES, after 8 years of a humiliating and unprofitable descent down through easier careers due to Chronic Fatigue-induced brain fog of increasing acuteness and frequency, I stumbled upon a website of the same old sufferings, but an entirely different tone—the Marshall Protocol site.
In seemingly 100% of its participants, it oozed with hope, gradual, steady wellness, and that dignity one hardly knows has slipped away— a dignity standing tall on three strong legs: solid science explaining one’s disease, an actual cure, and pages and pages of testimonial from real people who have sold their wheelchairs, tossed their oxygen bottles, and in many cases not died when they should have.
I’m four months into the MP. This last three days I've felt some general aches in the body, but my brain-fog has been almost non-existent and general sense of well-being has been unlike anything I've felt for at least a decade. Amazing--simply amazing.
I've found my stride in the treatment, am pulling my weight at work and at home--physically, mentally and emotionally, and am loving life again. I have a long way to go, but that’s fine with me.
So there’s my concise testimonial.

Improvements: This past week my energy level has been so good during the days I am ecstatic. My energy level yesterday was equal to what it was before the illness took me over. I lived a full day without measuring my movement to conserve energy and my steps were secure for most of the day. I got a perm and haircut last week and yesterday I got my highlighting done....Hooray, I'm a BLONDE!! (No more looking like "throw mama from the train") Did some shopping for about an hour, went out to dinner.
I can bend over to pick things up off the floor....faster and easier. My legs are so flexible when I cross them to put on socks, etc., they are practically normal. My back feels free. I've been going up and down stairs one foot in front of the other 4 or 5 times a day. For the most part I get up and down from sitting a little easier and I've been walking more like a normal person instead of waddling.
This past year my spirits have been very high. I'm so proud to be part of the Marshall Protocol. Thank you again Trevor for your brilliance, belief, and determination, to do your research even though it is still foolishly rejected by some. We are so lucky.
Still a long way to go, but that's okay with me. My best to everyone doing the protocol and endless thank you's to the moderators and advocates.....a lot of very smart people.........Joan

Posted by his wife, Juanita.
Martin has been doing very well with his treatment. He has lost thirty pounds since beginning the MP due to daily work outs in the home gym and adhering to low carb/low sugar, low animal fat, low d foods, heart healthy eating. We also believe that the MP has facilitated his quick success.
He has more energy, better memory, much improved patience and good humour, and significantly less snoring. Prior to the MP, I was concerned that he'd developed mild sleep apnea from his deep resounding snores that ended in throat rattles, silence, then gasping for breath. This is now gone and his snoring is mild and not often.
He also smells nicer. His skin has a fresh clean scent. His hair is growing back in on his head, plus it is much thicker. He has a new hair line now. He used to have rocks in the skin of his arms, thighs and buttocks. Now that skin is smooth and soft.
