Guest guest Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I am not on the Marshall Protocol, but I have read www.bacteriality.com from top to bottom. (It promotes the MP). I have to say that after reading all of the information on the site, I find it far more thorough and compelling than Mercola's argument against it. I've been troubled by Mercola in the past few years, and how very commercial he seems to have become. He often claims that there is only ONE brand of a certain supplement he recommends, and you can ONLY buy it from HIM. I was also a bit disturbed that he was selling radar detectors - encouraging people to speed. How many auto accidents could have been prevented had not the participant been speeding? Why is a physician selling radar detectors? I find it disappointing that he no longer supports the AP, even though he admits that he used it in the past and found it helpful, and that Dr. Brown helped thousands of people. He claims that diet and lifestyle can fix anything, but I was too far gone, too sick. The AP saved my life. I wish that Mercola and Marshall and many others out there would come together, remain open minded, and not let egos and firmly entrenched positions keep polarizing the debate.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 i too am unsure re the MP. i did an experiment with D - taking it from late Oct. to 2 weeks ago and during the last few weeks my arthritis has gotten worse than it's ever been. the pain is incredible. in my 12 y with RA it's never been this bad. so maybe there is something to the MP? i wish i could get my 1-25 D tested to see. though mercola says it's not an accurate reflection of D since it changes constantly. docs here won't order 1-25D anymore. monique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hi all, It has been my understanding that Dr. Mercola is no longer seeing patients as he is spending all his time on his newsletter in the hopes that he can get the health system changed whereby people will be able to use what ever treatment they wish. He is hoping that he can break the hold Big Pharma has on everyone. Keeping the newsletter free to the public has made it necessary for him to find a way to fund it continuance. He has chosen to sell products that he himself would or does use. At least that is what he has claimed over the years. I do not always agree with some of his points but overall I think he is doing a great service in keeping us informed. jmo, carol_DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Hi All, We are all different. I am in remission/control of my Dermatomyositis and Mixed Connective Tissue Disease with CREST syndrome. Before and after going on AP, the sunshine was my best friend. It made me feel much better. Before reaching remission, I limited my time in the sun to avoid sunburn but made sure that I got at least 20 minutes a day in direct sunlight (of course, only on those days the sun actually shined) and felt much better for it. Since reaching control, I can spend any amount of time in the sun. I recently spent over 2 hours in direct sunlight sitting on the bow of a boat at the Great Barrier Reef. No sunburn, no windburn, just plain joy and well being. I guess we are all different in how we react. We each need to do what is right for our own bodies. take care all, Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
