On Sunday, January 27, we had an interesting and informative presentation on the Marshall Protocol. Those who attended were reminded on several occasions that the MP is a controversial treatment. As we always say at our meetings, it is each individual's responsibility to research each and every new treatment, drug, supplement or diet so that they can make an informed decision. We always recommend strongly that we check with our physicians before making any changes to our treatment protocol. Our support group does not promote any protocol over any others. We respect that we need to make our own choices based on our thorough and balanced research. The group must always share information on treatments in a fair, transparent and unbiased way, so for that reason we are including some reference material that discuses the controversy about the Marshall Protocol, and some others about Vitamin D. Please take the time to read them fully as part of your own 'due diligence'. Links to additional articles, both pro and con, are available upon request (email victorialyme@gmail.com) and will be posted here as well.
