“The human body does not require sunlight, nor foods containing Vitamin D, in order for it to function correctly. The human body can manufacture all the Vitamin D it needs from its own 7-dehydrocholesterol. Clinical medicine is just plain wrong on its understanding of the actions of Vitamin D.” Trevor Marshall (1)To read more, the entire post can be found here: Hidden Risks and Dangers of the Marshall Protocol
The Marshall Protocol (MP) claims to cure CFS and FM, as as such, is a very polarizing topic. People are either really for it, or really against it. Seduced by the molecular modeling and hope of a cure, I was on the protocol for almost two years. However, after almost landing in ER and experiencing a permanent deterioration in all my CFS symptoms, I have learnt first-hand of the dangers and risks of the MP, none of which I was warned. The MP worsened my existing CFS symptoms such as fatigue, sleep dysfunction, muscle and joint pain and created new symptoms such as neuropathy, parenthesisa, breathing difficulties, cardiac pain and tinnitus which have persisted. Thus I feel that it is my duty to warn others who may be considering the MP, which continues to attract many new patients, of all the hidden risks so that they can make a fully informed decision about whether to undertake this protocol.

Hidden Risks and Dangers of the Marshall Protocol
An individual made the following post on a Fibro. bulletin board last month, which I found well constructed and inclusive of several citations. This individual was on the MP for a few years and did not have a favorable experience with regards to their Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). Sadly, this doesn't appear to be an isolated case, and many additional veterans of the protocol are reporting similar unfavorable results by engaging in a protocol designed to restore health that includes radically disobeying the laws of mother nature.

I have not been on the MP, but I'm very familiar with this protocol. What you're describing here cannot in any way be connected to vitamin D deficiency. What you describe are all very obvious symptoms of porphyria, and secondary porphyria is known to be produced only by killing chlamydia. Mycobacteria trash the cells so much anyways, that the mitochondria will be nonfunctional, and you cant have porphyria. Choose the right protocol for the right infection! The MP is mainly designed for mycobacterial infections, and not to treat only the easier Chlamydia pneumoniae. Chlamydia pneumoniae is still a part of a mycobacterial infection as well, but the immune system will not respond in the same way if you have mycobacteria too. www.cpnhelp.org offers more help to deal with chlamydial infections, and in particular with the porphyria symptoms. They list both fibromyalgia and CFS being mainly caused by Chlamydia pneumoniae.
