Traditionally, signs and symptoms of Lyme disease include: a skin rash, often resembling a bulls-eye, fever, headache, muscle pain, stiff neck, and swelling of the knees and other large joints.1 Millions of people who are diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, Alzheimer's, chronic fatigue syndrome and other degenerative diseases could have Lyme Disease causing or contributing to their condition.2

The Marshall Protocol for Lyme Disease and Other Chronic Inflammatory Conditions |
|
A new approach, called the Marshall Protocol, is now achieving success in treating chronic Lyme disease. The Marshall Protocol is based on revolutionary insights regarding vitamin D metabolites. New research has shown that: 1. Vitamin D metabolite levels can be useful markers of Th1 inflammation and indicate a similar pathogenesis in many chronic diseases; and 2. Elevated levels of vitamin D metabolites can produce immunosuppression by multiple mechanisms. |
