bacteria is in patients with lyme disease, sarcoidosis and autoimmune conditions. The protcol has also helped patients with fibromyalgia.
The good news about the MP is that any physician can prescribe the medications necessary (low-dose antibiotics along with Benicar). I actually had two physicians, an Endocrinologist and a Naturopathic physician recommend this protocol for me.
Chronic cough can be caused by cigarette smoking,asthma,GERD,allergic rhinitis and sinusitis causing PND,lung infections like bronchitis and pneumonia, tumors, sarcoidosis or other lung disease and medicines like ACE inhibitors used as antihypertensives.
Can you identify any of these?
It is a wrong belief that whooping cough can cause asthma or allergy susceptibility. Whooping cough does not cause asthma. It just so happens that people with asthma seem more susceptible to it.
a day before the surgery along with Zocor to control cholesterol. I am now on Plavix, Toprol XL, Zocor and Benicar. My blood pressure has been low, in the range of 90/60 since the surgery but the cardiologist wants me to continue the Benicar. He said it's "good for the heart". Has anyone ever heard of this before? My understanding was that Benicar is for high BP. Also, I have been feeling very down and blue a lot of the time.
Before the Losartan, I was taking 90 mgs of Armour (which is T3 AND T4) daily. After just a few weeks on the Losartan, I became hyperthyroid for a while, and my doctor lowered my dose of Armour (down to 60.)
I have not noticed heat intolerance, but I am losing weight--slowly (which I don't mind as I am about 20 lbs over bikini-wearing level.)
Never heard of the Marshall protocol, but I'm going to look it up!
I also have had an elevated BUN and Creatinine since beginning Benicar. I am also on Toprol XL 25mg daily. My Benicar dose was dropped from 40 to 20 mg daily last visit. I am concerned about the elevated BUn as it is indicative of renal issues. I drink more water daily and will see on my next visit to doc in Sep what we will do as a plan if my labs are abnormal. I might add I think these 2 have also elevated my cholesterol and LDL!
Look forward to follow up note.
About a year ago I was put on high blood pressure medication, Benicar 20mg a day. I have never had any types of heart issue and in the last year have developed or started to notice regular PVC's. I have had them checked out and they are PVC's and they drive me nuts because they make me feel real uncomfortable. Could the PVC's be caused by the benicar?
Dear Doctor, I am a healthy 36 year old male. In the last year I was put on Benicar 20 mg for high blood pressure. In that year I have began to notice PVC's that started occassionally and now are happening everyday all day. They drive me crazy. My blood pressure is under control and I exercise regularly. Could the Benicar cause the PVC's? I have had them checked out with my doctor and they tell me that they are okay and that they are PVC's. They drive insane.
Sarcoidosis can be a symptom of infection of infection with spirochetes, in particular, those that cause Lyme disease. You might wish to get tested for that. You'd be better off skipping the western blot. Ask your physician to get your tests done by a lab called IGENEX.
My resting pulse rate was between 50 and 60, now with benicar is above 70. My question - Is this really the medicine side effects ? which drug could be better to not affect my running performance? Am I really with high blood pressure, because I've read some people saying that for people who are very active, it's common to have low pulse rate and relatively high systolic pressure?
he saved his own life with his protocol and his protocol is saving people who have sarcoidosis. This apparently is a cure for sarcoidosis. And Dr. Marshall discovered Benicar. Dr. Paul Cheney said this about Dr. Marshall:
"My hat is off to Trevor Marshall for identifying that the Renin Angiotensin System (RAS) is a key element in the pathology of this disease and pointing out that it acts locally as well as systemically.
My ACE test came back elevated a couple of years ago and I have been tested for Lupus and Sarcoidosis in the past and was told I don't have either.
My question is if anyone who has been diagnosed with MS has also had elevated ANA or ACE blood tests. I have done a search on line and have found limited info on these blood tests, which indicates that MS patients can have elevated ANA and ACE blood test results, but I have not actually found anyone who has this.
Hello, I post this a little late. Sarcoidosis could affect the liver, and the first sign of liver involvement may be the elevation of enzymes. Since your chest Ray manifestation is better, it could hardly be caused by activation of sarcoidosis. So it's probably caused by fatty liver, or the medications you took to control cholesteral levels (I suppose?), such as statin.
I believe I used this function years ago and got a list of doctors. My doctor who I have now uses Benicar, however does not follow all aspects of the protocol. She says the Benicar helps the antibiotics work better which I guess is the theory behind the Marshall Protocol. You can also try to google "marshall protocol doctors" and see what comes up.

Does anyone know what these test results mean? Should I be concerned?
Hi,
How are you?Treatment of sarcoidosis depend on the signs and symptoms, which organs are affected, and whether those organs are working well. The goals of treatment include: relieving symptoms, improving organ function, controlling inflammation and reducing the size of granulomas and preventing pulmonary fibrosis, if the lungs are affected. Sometimes, the disease goes away on its own. If the disease affects certain organ, medication may be indicated.
