Once you have had sarcoidosis for a while and the first line treatments fail you will start looking or maybe more accurately you will start chasing a cure. After all TV and movies have taught us that medical science can conquer all! The internet is a popular choice for chasing cures and once you begin your internet searches it is only a matter of time before you run across two things, The Marshall Protocol and The Sarcoidosis Cookbook. The Sarcoidosis Cookbook I can address very quickly, eating healthy can't hurt but it ain't gonna cure you and as for the Marshall Protocol I am not sure I have all the answers but I am going to give it a shot.
The Marshall Protocol is a treatment regime originally created for sarcoidosis by Trevor Marshall, hence the name. He is an Australian that was diagnosed with sarcoidosis in the 70's sometime, I can't remember the exact time and trust me it is not relevant. Anywho is was quite fortunate that Trevor Marshall was a doctor and was able to turn his knowledge towards finding a cure for sarcoidosis. The previous sentence was sarcasm, Trevor Marshall does not have a medical degree.
Trevor Marshall was an electrical engineer before he was diagnosed. I have a great deal of respect for electrical engineers, it is a highly specialized field that requires intelligence and discipline, especially to receive a PHD. I don't have a problem with an electrical engineer bringing his skills and knowledge to try and cure a disease he has, in fact often a fresh perspective is just what is needed. What I do have a problem with is a person that represents themselves as a doctor to people with a disease and does not make it clear he is not a medical doctor.
I have witnessed many online fights about Trevor Marshall and whether he is "qualified" to research sarcoidosis. I do not have a side when it comes down to whether or not he is "qualified" but I think it is disingenuous of him not to make it clear that he is not a medical doctor. I can not think of legitimate reason why he does not make this clear. If you can think of a legitimate reason I will be happy to give you credit and insert that legitimate reason here.
This concludes part one and I know that was short and sweet but I do not want to get into the weeds with the people arguing about everything he has done in his life and whether that makes him a good person or not. You can make anyone look like an ass if you only present certain parts of their lives and edit it in a non flattering way. For example I have been married three times and my two ex wives are not very fond of me, okay that was a bad example I can't think of a positive way to spin that unless you say I never give up?

This post is shorter than others I have recently posted. Theoretically that is on purpose and not because I am lazy. I am going to try and present one point at a time and keep the posts shorter than War and Peace.
