Re: Mercola says: Why I Don’t Recommend the [Protocol That Cannot Be Named]

[Guest guest]

Thank you Sue, so much, for posting this.

I am so happy to see someone of Dr. Mercola's stature and influence take the

Marshall protocol head on. As well as Drs and Cannel.

I've been very concerned for quite a while now about people potentially being

harmed by this controversial protocol. But I've been limited to speaking in code

or risk being taken to court for another round with Mr. Marshall. I have no

doubt that any suit by Mr Marshall would again be thrown out of court, but I

haven't been physically up for that kind of emotional and financial strain. It's

a moot point now, as I'm pretty sure that almost anyone would think twice before

trying to pull the same kind of legal stunt on these esteemed doctors.

Especially since they can back their positions with science.

I hope this is a wake up call for anyone who thinks patients are nothing but lab

rats, or in some cases, paychecks. The unfortunate thing is that once a person

gets this kind of rap (and there are more than a few out there), nothing they

say will be seen as having validity. That's a shame because some of these

discredited people actually have some interesting ideas. But because their ideas

can't be questioned, they will end up going nowhere. Just goes to show that a

little thing like pride or greed, can take down the smartest people. Karma

really can be a bitch.
