One of the things about the Marshall protocol is that the die off from the bacterial pathogens generates quite a bit of Immunopathology. For example inflammatory cytokines, toxins released by dying bacteria, hormonal imbalances caused by dying bacteria, pain and fatigue proteins, cellular debris

We could use things like Bovine Glycomacropeptide which is an anti-inflammatory that may bind to bacterial toxins.

A product that really interested me though was Candigest Plus. It is said to contain 6 enzymes. 5 of which starve the candida by digesting the carbohydrates it otherwise uses as food and the sixth enzyme Protease "can digest the protein nucleus of the candida organism to remove it entirely from the body"

The funny thing is that protease is not very specific at all.

Wikipedia says:

"A protease is any enzyme that conducts proteolysis, that is, begins protein catabolism by hydrolysis of the peptide bonds that link amino acids together in the polypeptide chain, which form a molecule of protein." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protease

So maybe this shit is snake oil it's hard to say but it has got me thinking and more research should be done and everything should be examined with a quark microscope.

It doesn't say on the immunecare website but on an ebay listing for the product the ingredients are: Cellulase, Protease, Hemicellulase amylase, Invertase, Malt diastase, Glucoamylase, Magnesium stearate, Microcrystalline cellulose.

The main product page is. http://www.immunecare.co.uk/product2.html#cand

Of course candida is a fungus but perhaps if my position is that I think the marshall protocol is doing the wrong things but for the right reason and my goal is to find out how to do the right things for the right reason the concepts and similar ones could be applied to pathogenic bacteria.

Anti-bacterial peptides and enzymes could help destroy pathogenic bacteria. Anti inflammatory supplements could help reduce the effects of Immunopathology.
