Sarcoidosis Answers for Physicians, Nurses and Patients

Here at SarcInfo, between 2002 and 2004, we identified the cause of Sarcoidosis, and successfully trialled a curative antimicrobial therapy. During 2005 and 2006 the US FDA designated the antibiotics Clindamycin and Minocycline as Orphan Products in the treatment of Sarcoidosis, and studies are ongoing elsewhere.

For information about this breakthrough, please post your questions at the current study-sites of the Autoimmunity Research Foundation.
 
This archive of the historic study is maintained by volunteers from the Foundation. The material here provides useful background, but most of this site is now out-of-date.

 sarcoid - my veggie option

hi
i've was diagosed with saroid of the lungs over two years ago, i had no idea how long it had been manifesting in me, but nevertheless, once i found out lots of things that had been happening to me started to add up.
swollen lymph nodes for one.

i've seen three of the top lung specialists i could find, one in london, one in nyc and in one in LA. none of them had an answer, except there were conflicting opinions on taking steroids. one specialist told me by taking steroids the down side would be the moment you stopped taking them, the sarcoid will come back with a vengence.

so i decided to not take any drugs, as i don't believe in them, and i'd look for an alternative.

i've been a vegetarian for 20 years so i decided to go a step further and go on a raw diet of only fruit and vegetables and supplement my diet with herbs to give my body a real fighting chance.

the result has been incredible from going on this diet. the ACE levels in my blood dropped to half in less than four months and there are no more swollen lymph glands anywhere. i've been incredibly stringent with my diet but i have to tell you it was very hard to give up french fries and anything cooked!

i've resigned myself to the fact that i can heal myself with this regime of fresh food and herbs and it's working for me. i wanted to tell you about it.
maybe it will help you too.

Soupy,
Sarcoid is such a subtle killer as it continues to damage your body even as the obvious symptoms (the ones you can feel) become more manageable. Herbs have been around for centuries, but they have been ineffective at stopping the suffering and dying from this disease.

Herbal remedies are not the answer, as they contain compounds, including Vitamin D, which dull the symptoms of the disease without actually preventing it from slowly damaging your vital organs, from your heart to your eyes to your brain.

Now that we know that intraphagocytic bacteria are causing the inflammation, sarcoid patients are faced with a clear choice - palliation of the symptoms or implementation of the cure (killing the bacterial pathogens).

How each patient makes that choice is a personal decision, but nothing you can do to feel better will help your body recover in the long run. If you want to feel what real health feels like the answer is now within your reach. But it comes from careful implementation of the MP, not from any 'feelgood' herbs.

Since you are so convinced that these herbs can 'heal' you I suggest you check back here in 5 years time, and we can then properly reassess whether you were right or wrong

hello mr. admin,

i thought this was an open forum where people could exchange ideas and information on what they have discovered, yet you have edited my post and removed details from it!

how does one go about killing the bacterial pathogens other than drugs?

as far as i know, no one has yet to be cured from sarcoid, but i would be happy to hear otherwise. i've resigned myself that it's with me for life but i'm not going to let it manifest itself in me if i can help it and there is no reason people should be afraid of the benefits of going on a raw diet. it can do you nothing but good.
if i'm still around in 5 years, i'll check in, but i may check in before that if you have no objection.
sincerely,
soupy

Soupy,
Nobody cured? Have you been asleep for the last few years? Dozens were cured while this study site was active. It was replaced in 2004 by MarshallProtocol.com, and thousands have now been cured, or are 'on track' to cure.

A good start would be to look over our conference DVDs, and listen to folk describe what it feels like to recover from these diseases.

And no, this is not an open forum. We want to arm patients with the knowledge they need to recover, not help them deteriorate further...

There is no selling here. This site is run by the Autoimmunity Research Foundation, which is a non-profit. We survive on member donations, and all the staff are volunteers.

We no longer engage in discussion about "natural cures for sarcoid" because they don't exist. That was the point of my suggesting you come back in 5 years, as sarcoid invariably relapses every 2-5 years. That is the nature of the disease.

mr. admin,

perhaps you could give me some contact information on actual people or doctors that have been cured from lung sarcoid from utilizing the Marshall Protocol.

i'm very curious to hear their story in person, as i've been consulting top lung doctors and specialists around the world and not one of them ever mentioned anything about this or any kind of a cure. i'm talking about doctors from Cedar-Sinai in LA, to Harley Street and the Cromwell hospital in London.

Soupy,
Every pulmonologist specializing in Sarcoidosis knows about Dr Marshall's work. If they say otherwise they are lying to you. The FDA has even approved designations of the MP antibiotics for the treatment of sarcoidosis.

But look, enough of this. there are folk who know they are sick, who need our help. All the material you need to answer your questions is on this study site, and the MarshallProtocol.com study site. The moderators there have a list of hundreds of physicians all over the world who are helping folk recover from sarcoidosis. But before you get to the stage of needing a helpful physician you are going to have to do a little reading yourself, I am afraid... we are here to help with the difficult questions, not the basic material you can study for yourself.

Dear Soupy,

I think Dr Marshall has been very patient with you here.

If you believe your raw diet is curing you, then go ahead with it and the best of luck to you. Just remember that even organic raw foods are often full of bacteria, and if you believe in the bacterial theory of sarcodosis, then you are still placing yourself at risk. You may feel a lot better, but can you be sure you are not merely placating your disease and that it will return sometime down the line with a vengeance.

So, you have consulted with top doctors from around the world. Big deal. Most of them learned about sarcoidosis in medical school two decades ago, and only know about suppressive bandaid treatments. Many have, at best, a meagre knowledge of the disease and will tell you that it goes away on its own and is hardly ever fatal. Believe them if you so wish. To my thinking, a 'top' doctor is one who admits his/her limitations, knows that medicine is not an exact science and is open to new and scientifically proven treatments.

Of course, you must go with your own gut feeling about whatever treatment you decide to go with, but you tell me where else you can get 24 hour support from folk who know this disease inside out, who will work with your treating doctor and who ask for nothing in return?

I was diagnosed with sarc in 2003 by 'top' docs who removed my spleen because they were so certain I had lymphoma. Seven top docs from top medical institutions???!!! Not one even considered sarc in the differential. Everyone could only suggest pred as a treatment option. So, I went the natural route for two years. Sure, I felt pretty good on all those herbs that were being pumped into my body, but my CT scans and bloodwork showed that the disease was slowly and insidiously progressing in my organ systems. I now regret waiting so long to take a leap of faith and go for a real chance of cure based on solid science, but I am now on the MP and very pleased to have that chance, even if it takes it a few years.

My advice would be to read through all the info here, ask your questions, come to your own conclusions, and jump aboard as soon as you can. Then you can go back to eating all that cooked food you miss ( just not D foods!) and get yourself well again at the same time. Sounds like a pretty good option to me, don't you think?

Soupy,

Welcome to SarcInfo.

You were fortunate to have even found a doctor that realized that your Sarcoidosis would return if you were to go on steroids. Many do not yet understand that much about the disease. It makes sense when you realize that steroids are contraindicated when an infection is present. And, that we now know that Sarcoidosis is caused by Cell Wall Deficient (CWD) bacteria, which have learned not only how to avoid the immune system, but to live within the very cells of the immune system that are supposed to kill them.

As you have learned from Dr. Marshall, PhD, this is not a discussion forum. To clarify, Dr. Marshall posts on SarcInfo as “admin”. Our expertise is explaining the pathogenesis of Th1 inflammation and how to treat it with the Marshall Protocol.

There is a lot of information here, and even more on our new site www.Marshall Protocol.com.

There is information about the diagnosis and the standard treatments of SARCOIDOSIS.

The Marshall Protocol -- simple explanations

References to many of the people who have or are getting well from Sarcoidosis and other Th1 diseases may be found here. >>

MARSHALL PROTOCOL SUCCESS STORIES

You may have many symptoms of Sarcoidosis that you don’t realize are related to your disease. People with a Th1 disease, of which Sarcoidosis is only one, are unable to regulate the production of vitamin D. If you look at the list of HYPERVITAMINOSIS-D SYMPTOMS you may recognize many of the symptoms on the list. (hypervitaminosis D refers to an excess of 1,25D, not the 25D that most doctors test for when they test for “vitamin D”)

The next time that you have blood tests done, you should have your doctor order the D metabolites tests and other tests for inflammation as noted here... D METABOLITES TESTS. Read the information about the proper handling of the specimen. Be SURE THAT THE LAB KNOWS THAT THE 1,25 D SAMPLE MUST BE KEPT FROZEN as soon as it is "spun down", and then kept frozen while in transit and until testing is done.

When you get the results, please obtain a copy, and post the actual numbers from the results on our sister site, Marshall Protocol.com in the thread named ”Preliminary test results”, and we will help you evaluate them for your doctor. Please read the information which is listed in the first post “WHAT to INCLUDE in your preliminary test result reports”, and include the requested information along with your results. You will be starting your own thread in that section. You can let us know here on SarcInfo if you have any problems starting your own thread there.

Do not accept the term “normal range” for the results, you want the actual numbers. Even what is considered “normal”, or even low, can indicate Th1 inflammation. This will help to give you an idea of how much inflammation that you have going on in your body.

You may find that you will start to feel better by avoiding vitamin D in foods, and supplements. The most obvious sources of vitamin D are eggs, fortified dairy products, fish, fish oil, and liver. You should also read the packaging on products to be sure that there is no vitamin D added.

FOODS TO AVOID

Testimonials to the need to avoid ingested Vitamin D

FOOD TIPS

Why do I have to stop taking supplements?

I thought all OTC supplements were safe. Which ones should I be concerned about?

Beginning to avoid sunlight now, which is also part of the MP, may also help you start to feel better sooner.

AVOIDING SUNLIGHT and BRIGHT LIGHTS

INCIDENT RADIATION TUTORIAL

Be sure that you have your NoIR sunglasses before you start Benicar. PROTECTING YOUR EYES Where to purchase NoIR and Bolle 100 sunglasses. You want to order the NoIR sunglasses soon as they may take some time to be delivered.

Ketoconazole 2% cream does prevent the production of 1,25-D in the skin. For more information, please see:
How does ketoconazole cream work?

“Regular” Sunscreens do not block the sun’s rays that stimulate the production of 1,25D. However, there is a summary of a member assisted research project of the sunscreens which do contain Zinc Oxide.

I hope that you will continue to read here. If you have further questions, I hope that you will register at www.MarshallProtocol.com, and post them in your own thread within the general discussion thread here >> **General Discussion of the Marshall Protocol** thread. I look forward to seeing you there.

As, Dr. Marshall and Kas have both indicated, you now have the option of "feeling better" with your present regiman, or of getting well, with the Marshall Protocol (MP).

I will be sending you additional information in an email.

dear doctor(s),

thanks for your emails, i've read through the site and i have a few questions:

- since i radically changed my diet a year ago, i'm not having any particular symptoms other than a small rash on the side of my ankle and chin (right leg). what does the rash signify? does it signify the body is fighting the disease, or simply it's remaining presence in the body?

- all of my lymph nodes have reduced their swelling to normal, do you think this is temporary or do you think without the implementation of the Marshall Protocol, the disease will attack them again? is a relapse common, because as you can imagine, i felt i was curing myself seeing the symptoms disappear thru going on a raw diet supplemented by specific herbs.

- is there a specialist in london or in NYC you could recommend to me that has some experience with the Marshall Protocol? (please email me if you don't want to post here)

- how often do you recommend things like lung x-rays? my feeling was since i have the disease, why bother subjecting myself to pointless radiation when i can simply have a blood test and it can check the ACE levels. is this the wrong attitude?

- can you get 1,25-D tests through a normal blood test? in otherwords, ask for it specifically when getting the ACE test.

- how can one tell if the disease has spread to other organs other than x-rays?

thank you for your kind attention.

Soupy,

You should read the information in the >> The NIH ACCESS Study finds Sarcoidosis does not go away brochure. Yes, relapse is common, and to be expected.

I would guess that the rash is an indication of the presence of Cell Wall Deficient (CWD) bacteria in your body.

What you may have experienced is the palliative affect of your diet. In other words it appears to have helped reduce your symptoms and you feel better, but the CWD bacteria are still there. There will be a time, after they have increased in numbers, you will find that the diet you are on will not be able to control the symptoms. And, remember the symptoms are an indication that the organ they are attacking can no longer function “normally”.

I can understand, and imagine that you, as many others have with other treatments, would have interpreted the absence, or reduction of symptoms to have meant that you were actually defeating the disease. A great deal of medicine is dedicated to relieving the symptoms of disease without actually doing anything about the cause of a person’s disease. And, there is growing evidence that Th1 inflammation caused by CWD bacteria may be responsible for many of the diseases that people suffer with. You might be interested in the other diseases that are being treated with the MP.

A chest x-ray may not show any of the manifestation of Sarcoidosis. It would be up to you and your doctor to decide if you should have a chest x-ray at any time. I have biopsy proven Sarcoidosis and have never had an abnormal chest x-ray, before or since my diagnosis. My doctor recently asked a friend of his in the radiology department at the clinic to go over all of the chest x-rays that had been taken at the clinic since 1976 to see if there was ever any sign of Sarcoidosis on any of them, and he found nothing. Enlarged lymph nodes weren’t found until I had a CT scan with dye while they were looking for a pulmonary embolism.

You should also be aware that the common test used to help diagnose Sarcoidosis, the Angiotensin-1-Converting test (also known as the “ACE” test) is only a useful diagnostic tool for diagnosing Sarcoidosis is when it is elevated, many people, including myself never have an elevated ACE test. You may find that your ACE is now normal or low with the reduction in symptoms. That does not mean that you no longer have the CWD bacteria in your body.

The next time that you have blood tests done, you should ask your doctor order the D metabolites tests and other tests for inflammation as noted here... D METABOLITES TESTS. It is a “normal blood test”, but it the sample needs to be handled correctly.

Read the information about the proper handling of the specimen. Be SURE THAT THE LAB KNOWS THAT THE 1,25 D SAMPLE MUST BE KEPT FROZEN as soon as it is "spun down", and then kept frozen while in transit and until testing is done.

When you get the results, please obtain a copy, and post the actual numbers from the results on our sister site, Marshall Protocol.com in the thread named ”Preliminary test results”, and we will help you evaluate them for your doctor.

Do not accept the term “normal range” for the results, you want the actual numbers. Even what is considered “normal”, or even low, can indicate Th1 inflammation. This will help to give you an idea of how much inflammation that you have going on in your body.

Please post your request for doctors in the thread POST REQUESTS FOR DOCTORS HERE. It is the first topic in the **General Discussion of the Marshall Protocol** thread on MarshalProtocol.com

Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease that can affect any and all organs in your body. It would be rare that it would only affect one area of your body. In fact any symptoms that you may have of any disease could very well be from your Sarcoidosis. It should always be suspected as the cause of any symptoms.

Please register at our new site, www.MarshallProtocol.com, and ask any further questions in the **General Discussion of the Marshall Protocol** thread.

On MarshallProtocol.com, you will also hear from other people who have been in the same situation that you are in. Along with the moderators, they are very helpful in helping people new to the MP to understand how important getting rid of the source of your problems is.

I agree, I am mostly a vegetarian, have been for years, my husband started juicing and reading about food combination, then a girlfriend told me about Eat Right For Your Blood Type diet by Dr. D. Adamos. There is definitely something to it and it makes sense. My husband and I bought the little cards for our blood type so when we shop, we can refer to it. That's is why some diets work for some and not others. We bought the main book and a book for each of us. He also gets e-mails from the site that updates you on alot of stuff. It listed what foods burn the most calories for my blood type and keeps you lean while also eating what your body needs. This is the real kicker, almost everything that is an avoid for my blood type is an avoid for sarcoid. I'm type A, absolutely no dairy, meat, Turkey, chicken, neutral, alot of seafood, no shell fish, no swordfish, no halibut, no squid and others. I am not a complete vegitarian as I did love my fish. Talapia is a huge beneficial and I will grill with lemon juice, garlic and tamari sea salt, and other sea salts with herbs. I eat wheat, gluten and dairy free.

There is an improvement in energy, and my feet and hands aren't as bad I'm hoping it goes away.

It is very hard to go on a diet like that after eating what you want all these years. We also eat alot of raw veggies and fruits as replaces enzymes that die off as you get older. I also take enzymes for any cooked food I eat. I eat alot of salads with tofu, grilled or cold and use Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Flax Oil, spice it with the sea salts or gluten free salsa. Unfortunately, I'll have to stop that as tomatoes are an avoid along with apples, oranges and banana's. I love those. I put them back in my diet and after eating them, I start itching and breaking out. Never did before. Once a long time ago once in awhile, I would break out with a rash when I drank orange juice but had no problems until a few years ago.

I was glad to come across this, it's good to know that someone else sees a difference.

Sharon and Soupy,
Nobody is saying that increasing the quantity of vegetables in your diet (eg by juicing) does not "make a difference." It does, in part because many vegetables contain high concentrations of the immune suppressant Chlorogenic acid.

But, just like when you take steroid, the suppression of the immune system allows your body to continue to degrade, year by year, and you will eventually die of the inflammatory disease.

How do we know this? Well, juicing to palliate chronic disease is not new. For example, it was advocated by Dr Virginia Livingstone, to help her cancer survivors during the 1970s. It does increase the short-term quality of life, but only marginally.

Now that we know what causes these diseases, and we know how to cure them, it no longer makes sense to just palliate the symptoms with steroids, vegetable juice, or vitamin D. All you are doing is putting off the inevitable relapse.

For that reason we have no interest in further discussion of the topic here. Here we are focused on implementing the cure. Nothing less. Please go somewhere else if the cure is not of interest to you.

Sharon,

As Dr. Trevor Marshall, PhD (Admin) has stated, you will find that the diet you are eating is only having a palliative affect, and is not addressing the cause of your disease, Cell Wall Deficient (CWD) bacteria.

In fact it, some of the foods and supplements that you are ingesting may have the effect of reducing your immune system’s ability to fight the CWD bacteria, which will ultimately only allow them to flourish at your expense.

I hope that you will join us on www.MarshallProtocol.com. There is a lot of information about the foods and supplements that are best for people with Sarcoidosis and other Th1 diseases to avoid.

Hi Lottie,

Alrighty, that explains why I'm still having problems. It makes sense, no matter what I do, can't get rid of it. That's why I was looking for natural anti-oxidents and anti-biotic foods and herbs. I said for years I felt like I was running on low bat, like 3 cylinders instead of 4 like I had an infection in my body ran fevers, etc, doctors kept saying it was probably related to dismenoreah and I had a hysterctomy, oopherectomy when I was 42 for pain.

My husband and I are going to the site you referred as he has been helping me over the years with all the problems I've had and has been more helpful in finding things than the doctors. I did have one doctor who was the best, but, I do not believe he has his practice anymore due to age.

Anyway, my husband and I were taking Three-Lac, which did clear up my skin condition for Candida however, when diagnosed with Sarcoid, stopped as I wasn't sure what I should be taking.

Thank You again. We will be researching the site you recommended. Really appreciate your help and glad I found you.

Sincerely,

Sharon R. Milosh
