Things I would like to know about the Marshall Protocol

Some things I would like to know about the Marshall Protocol:

  • How much of the healing was due to the protocol and how much was from changing one's diet, environment and participation in ones healing?
  • How much flexibility does the protocol have for different illnesses and for individual patients? Or, does one have to stick to a strict guidelines no matter what the situation?
  • How can I do work around the farm if I am suppose to avoid sunlight? The generic answer to this is that one should rest, but playing with the chickens is rest and they don't like being woken up at night.
  • Although, I admit that good ideas can come from any source and that Mr Marshall might be on to something; I am leery of participating in the Marshall Protocol group and receive medical recommendations from well meaning individuals who are not medically trained. If the group is orientated around offering support, then it is something I would like to try. But I'm frightened of a ridged protocol enforced by peer pressure from individuals who do not have all the information relevant to individual cases.
  • Where can I find peer reviewed articles for and against this protocol?
  • Are there any data sets available? Are there any individual studies? Are there any clinical trials?

It's really understandable that you'd want to have these informations. I hope you'll find answers to your questions.

Hi Raven,

It's been a while....

I just popped in to see if you had updated your blog and it turns out you'd been updating this one fairly frequently.

Anyway, I'm commenting to say that if you need access to research databases, via the UVic library, to research the Marshall Protocal, you are welcome to use my netlink ID and password. Also, you could try clinicaltrials.gov (an American website) to look into any clinical trials that have taken place or will take place in the near future.

My workload should be calming down pretty soon. So if you'd like me to have a quick look through some of the research databases regarding any peer reviewed work, I can have a look and then forward any research I might find to you.

If you would like to use my ID/password, just send me a quick email when you can and I'll reply with the info.

Take care.

Jen
