I've had RAⁱ for 33 years. Able to keep relatively under control until recently. My disease has always been about inflamation. I don't test positive for the RA factor. Don't want to use Enbrel or those other drugs if can avoid. Tested positive for cpnⁱ via Quest labs. On CAPⁱ for 2 weeks. Swelling of joints is worse. Some strange numbness in hand and as the day goes on can't move 1 arm. No flu like symptoms. Does this sound normal? What else can expect?

My mobility is becoming worse and I am also having neuropathy-type foot drag -- occasionally the  toes on my right foot fold over and I don't feel them right away until I've scraped them on the floor or stairs! And my feet, (even though I  think they are "up") aren't and I trip... I am unsteady.  My husband is constantly having to steady me and help me maneuver on the occasions we leave the house or he pushes me in a transport chair.

These are NEW symptoms which have developed over the last two pulses.   I have had problems with my right knee since the beginning of capⁱ but these symptoms are different. My left knee and leg are now affected.

If Lyme can be caused though having a root canal done -as it is said by the Doctor Steven Harris, M.D, in the conference he presented - the link given here by lifeontheice: and now I read in the website healingdaily an article called “Should you have root canals? Where they talk about this Doctor, expert in root canals, who then found that this “repair in the tooth” might be the biggest cause of bacteria in the mouth and then the body. The article says:

This is the news:  In England, possible antibioticsⁱ to be sold over the counter, to treat CHLAMYDIA!

This is the story form http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2008/aug/06/health

Oral antibiotics are to be made available for the first time without doctor's prescription under guidelines approved yesterday by the medicines regulator.

A pill to treat chlamydia, the most commonly diagnosed sexually transmitted infection, will become available for purchase in pharmacies across England later this year.

Most of the Doctors just look at a symptom and treat it the way they think;  - they know it all.  Then, the diagnose comes, like an etiquette of a product. Does someone looks what is behind the symptom?  Which is the cause, and the cause of this cause?

One Doctor -cardiologist-  saw me and when he found out I was multisymtomatic gave me some pills for the anxiety, nothing else. 

I asked Dr. Powell to comment directly on concerns that have been mentioned over time as to whether he uses the CAPⁱ with his new patients. I received his response a number of weeks ago but have had no time to put it together in a cogent context. But continued posts on these questions has mobilized me to get his comments to our readers here. But context is, as we say, everything.

The Road Back Foundation is exhibiting again at the American College of Rheumatology's annual meeting in November in Boston. After the meeting, on Sunday, November 11th from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm, a number of Road Back volunteers will be gathering to brain storm about the work of the Foundation. If you are interested in participating (i.e., have some skill and time to contribute to the Foundation), there are two spots open. If interested, please send a brief bio and your experience with AP treatment/the Foundation to info@roadback.org

Hi, I am very new to this site and came across it while reading a personal message on the Marshall Protocol website.

I have a few questions because I am trying to figure out which is best for me:

1. Having read the Marshall Protocol fairly well and having an understanding of what it is all about I am wondering who monitors progress for this protocol?

2. Where can I read the medical evidence that this works?

3. Where do I ask questions that I need to know?

4. Do doctors have an awareness and support this protocol?

5. Does this protocol suppress the symptoms or cure the bacteria that causes them?
