I'm new & wld like to understand since you aren't taking new people in the study, will my Dr. still be able to contact you or Dr. Marshall, and will my Dr. still be able to access information on all the phases of the protocol not available to me. I'm scheduling an appt. w/my Dr. who also believes in alternative & homeopathic medicine but need to make sure MP is available to physicians. Thanks, Mechelle

I am planning to start the MP (have an appt. w/my Dr.--trying to find one who will follow the MP w/me. I read about the rx's that shouldnt be taken w/the MP. I am currently taking Prozac (for anxiety-not depression), Adderall (for brain fog, extreme chronic fatique & edema--recently Past yr diagnosed w/ADD w/out hyperact.) Finacea (azaliec acid-topical cream, for rosacea, Prometrium (for endometriosis) & Retina A for inflammatory/cystic acne. Is it advisable to stop any of these before the MP? I am hoping w/the MP, I will evenutally not need them anyways. I have one aunt that died from Lupus, another that has 13 autoimmunes including Lupus, AutoImm. Hepatitis, Pernicious Anemia, etc.. My Dr.s are trying to find my problem, but Lupus test and Sed test are always negative, symptoms keeping getting worse--now Dr. Suspects Behcets or MS or multiple Autoimmunes. I'm tired of tests for disease, want to do the Vit D test and start the MP & see if TH1 is the problem--I suspect possible chronic lyme disease (I had lots of ticks while riding horses as a child)--Dr. says Lyme's not in Florida. I just want my life back! Thank you for your help!

Hi Mechelle,
This is your own personal thread for all your questions. If you ever lose track of it, click on 'My Account' at the top of the page and the link will be there.
Please see if the topic Should I stop taking any of my medications? answers your questions about meds - if not, get back to me.
There are two groups of members on this site: those who are also members of the MP study (who post mainly on the main study site MarshallProtocol.com and receive advice and support from medical moderators), and those who are on the MP independently, through their doctors. The MP study is now closed to new members. We would dearly love to be able to help everyone, but we have a very small band of volunteer nurses, backed up by a very small band of volunteer advocates.
All doctors are welcome to join the private Professionals' Forum, where all the help and support they need is available, as well as access to the whole protocol from the start. Those who are on the MP independently must refer to their doctor for medical issues, and learn to search the MP 'library' on the study site to find information.
Phases 2 & 3 of the MP are not available in the public part of the site, so you must ask your doctor to print you out a copy of the Phase 2/3 guidelines when the time comes.
All the information you need is in the MP 'library' on the main site. Here on this site the advocates are happy to act as 'librarians' to help you find what you need to know to make your MP journey a success. Please use the search facilities first to see if your question has already been answered - see How to do a site search.
Non-members might also enjoy reading the members' informal discussion board MP-Lifestyles.org.
There is no medical support available for independents, but you're welcome to ask non-medical questions that can be answered by more experienced members. Any medical questions exclusive to your own case must be addressed to your doctor. There is no need for independents to post progress reports, though you're welcome to drop in here sometimes and let us know how you're getting on.
We are very well aware that this situation is far from ideal for independents, but the only alternative we could see was to close the whole thing down to anyone who wasn't in the study.
Please make sure you know the following essential information thoroughly:
Phase1 guidelines - print one out for you and one for your doctor, and refer to it often.
FAQs Easy Finder & the ABC of MP - use with the search facilities to find information.
Essential Information About the MP - take this a little at a time!
Read, read, read... and let us know if you can't find what you need...
