The Marshall Protocol is in my opinion one of the most
important discoveries relating to Lyme Disease -- and in fact, nearly all
chronic diseases -- but at the core of the protocol is a highly controversial assertion
regarding vitamin D.

On one side of the debate are researchers who, through quite a bit of
substantial science, have determined that vitamin D supplementation is critical
to health. On the other side of the debate are those who believe vitamin D
destroys the health of those with chronic illnesses, and more specifically,
chronic infections.

Due to my research and personal experience with the Marshall Protocol, a
protocol that calls for reduction of vitamin D, I can say that I strongly
support the latter position -- that is, the position that people with chronic
diseases have too much vitamin D in their bodies, and that that vitamin D is
doing damage. But if you have read my books, including The
Top 10 Lyme Disease Treatments, you already know this.

What I am attempting to do in this blog post is to show you the evidence for my
position. It turns out that the researchers who disagree with each other
might be talking apples and oranges: new evidence suggests that due to the many
different types of vitamin D, the entire controversy may be nothing more than a
miscommunication of terms. Because this is a complicated subject and other
writers have explained it better than I can, I will point you to a few resources
where you can read about the positions and decide for yourself.

Personally, the Marshall Protocol has been one of the main factors in giving me
back my health. You decide for yourself what to think. You will find that
the following articles are fairly long, but I think they are definitely worth
reading. In fact, I assign them to you as mandatory reading. After
having read these articles, visit http://www.marshallprotocol.com
