Marshall Protocol (MP) developed by Trevor Marshall, PhD is a treatment being implemented by physicians around the world. Dr. Marshall has been a researcher in diverse fields, such as cryptorchidism, male and female infertility, and subcutaneous insulin infusion (in diabetes). Most recently he has deduced and published a bacterial pathogenesis for Th1 diseases, including Chronic Lyme Disease, CFS and Sarcoidosis. Although these diseases are not currently widely accepted as TH1 diseases, Dr. Marshall has found that a more accurate view of what the TH1/TH2 dichotomy means, as well as new vitamin D data, indicate that these diseases really are diseases of TH1 inflammation.

Waterhouse, Ph.D. Dr. Waterhouse became ill with CFS, FM and Lyme disease and spent two decades studying these diseases.
