Marshall protocol

The so–called Marshall protocol was initially developed to treat sarcoidosis, but has been used in CFS/ME and FM as well. It is based on the theory that these illnesses are caused by nanobacteria (extremely small bacteria), which are “hiding” from the immune system and can only be eradicated with minocycline, olmesartan and the avoidance of vitamin D. No studies have proven the efficacy of this treatment in any illness (or even the existence of nanobacteria). Some patients report good results with MP, but it carries significant risks.12,13</p>
