I have had RA for about 5-6 yrs. I have been treated with all the usual meds, suffered through the usual peaks and valleys, coped with the usual flares and side effects and today, I feel no better than when originally diagnosed. I have done some of the required reading on the MP, but I am not sure if it's the right thing for me.
In asking my Rheumatologist about the MP , he gave me a history lesson on treatments that have worked and those of which seemed out of left field. Guess where he felt the MP resided.
I am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired and know I can and should feel better than I currently am. I have tried anti-inflammation diets, homeopathic treatments and acupuncture. Most everything has worked for as few weeks, then back to square one. Does the MP really give me a chance to be able to fully enjoy life and get rid of this disease ?

Rex,
Welcome!!! 
For a shoot-from-the-hips, quick answer... YES!!!!! you are at the right place.
Two MP members that were diagnosed with RA before coming to the MP, "John McDonald" and "Carol", that I can remember off-hand, have improved. "John McDonald" was even on the Board of The Road Back organization, and decided to come to the MP. "Carol" was in a particularly bad way with RA. You might read their Progress Reports posts in Benicar and Minocycline Forum and/or Phase One Alumni Forum and/or send them a PM (private message) to ask them. Click on their name off in the left column of a post to send a PM. Just put their forum names, as given, in the Search window at the top of all pages to bring up their posts. Sometimes, a person will make comments on someone else's thread that will indicate their condition, too.
I can remember in the few months before I discovered the MP, I had a hammer go flying off into space. I could not hold my fist tight enough. I had never been diagnosed with RA, but I feel that I was beginning to show signs. My left pointer finger has a tell-tale bump on the middle joint.
I had been diagnosed with borreliosis (commonly called "Lyme disease") which usually has a component of RA at some point in time. I think that if I had not found the MP site early enough, I would have gone the usual route of RA.
I also had been diagnosed with osteopenia by DEXA bone mineral density machine. That is now GONE by DEXA, too. I was Dx'ed with granulomatious disease "as evidence by the depositing of calcium in the soft tissue of my chest area", by chest x-ray. That is GONE, too, by chest x-ray. My body temperature had been in the 97.X or even 96.X range previous to the MP... a sign of hypothyroidism. My bodily temperature is NOW in the 98.X range. My hsCRP (high sensitivity C-reactive protein), an indicator thought these days of forecasting cardiovascular disease better than cholesterol testing, has gone DOWN from a range of 0.6 to 0.8 to "less than 0.1" [that is zero point one], and the lab said that they re-ran the test to confirm.
These are my sets of symptoms [named-maladies by the med community] that can be measured by objective means that have gone away/improved. And all very diverse sets of symptoms... not seemingly related. But they are all by the one cause, Th1 inflammation caused by the pleomorphic bacterial L-forms that the orthodox medical community has denied to be a troublemaker, but ARE, most assuredly.
If the med community would give up holding to Dr. Robert Koch's Postulates of 1867, they could modernize themselves with the new 21st Century genomic revelations and computer molecular modeling information that is at last freeing people from pain. This new treatment of relieving from pain is doing so in a curative way, instead of the palliative way of the Rheumatologist and other med docs, who mostly only know Prednisone or other steroidal type drugs. These steroidal drugs relieve pain for a relatively short while, but allow the bacterial L-forms to proliferate, causing even more pain in the future.
Since you seem to be a good "student" of the MP 'study' site, may I suggest that you do some reading over at another related site, written by one of our members. http://www.bacteriality.com There are some excellent articles done in prose style that might be easier to read than the forum style. And there are some Interviews in the right hand column, along with other articles, that will show that the MP protocol does work. You can use these articles as foundation for guidance for further study at the 'study' site.
Wishing you, and all, wellness!!!
Dark Vader...aka, George

Hi Rex
George has given you some excellent advice and is correct the MP is definitely the right treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. After being on the protocol for close to three years my arthritis is just about gone. An excellent place to learn and understand the protocol is ABC of MP and MARSHALL PROTOCOL FAQ EASY FINDER go down to arthritis and RA and Marshall Protocol Success Stories.

Hi Rex,
Ival and George give you good information and advice. Although I am not diagnosed with RA I have recalcitrant psoriasis, PA (psoriatic arthritis) and FMS (fibromyalgia) along with a laundry list of other illnesses I've been diagnosed with.
The treatments that I've used for the PA and psoriasis have been many of the RA treatments such as Methotrexate, Neoral, Enbrel, Steroids and Tegison.
NONE of these worked to heal me and since I'm such a mixed big of ailments, I've often been told (by my Drs) to "pick my top 5 symptoms" to "work on" at any given time. This is utter nonsense in my opinion. My point is, the Drs can't help me heal my whole entire body, but the MP can. In fact, the MP has improved symptoms for ailments I hadn't even anticipated it would help because it works to heal the whole person which is how I understand wellness to be achieved and maintained. 
Many of my ailments were on the list of Symptoms of Hypervitaminosis-D
The treatments I had been on nearly killed me, (landed in the hospital with adrenal failure, made my hair fall out like a chemo patient) could have permanently damaged my liver (was told I would need a liver biopsy if I continued treatment) and had other black box warnings and severe side effects, not to mention the costs of these drugs. I will take the MP over any of these so called "treatments" anyday.
The MP is not always easy as Ival has stated in his sig line, but nobody else or nothing else offers us a curative plan of action. The standard drug treatments only cover up the symptoms for a time, all the while your body is still getting sicker.
