 The Marshall Protocol (MP) activates the immune system in order to kill the microbiota of intraphagocytic bacteria which causes chronic inflammatory disease. The result of the MP's immune activation is increased symptoms due to immunopathology reactions. As immune function is restored, bacteria are killed and symptoms of disease tend to wane. While a patient may be feeling better over all, there is a danger of sudden increases in immunopathology known as an over-exuberant Stage Five reaction.
-An over-exuberant Stage Five reaction can happen in latter stages of the MP, even in the absence of antibiotics, as the immune system becomes increasingly self-sustaining and uninhibited by bacterial ligands. As this happens, antimicrobial peptides begin to successfully target the more entrenched pockets of bacterial infection in lungs, organs or joints, especially those encased by fibrotic tissue, adhesions, or scarring. Surges in immunopathology can be caused by physical stress on fibrotic tissue, by physical exertion, excessive coughing, or //exposure to sunlight//. A Stage Five reaction is often erratic and may not be easily relieved by the usual techniques.

 An over-exuberant Stage Five response can be managed through increasing the dosing or frequency of olmesartan, adjusting antibiotics, and adding palliative medications.

 When a patient's symptoms surge after an extended period on the MP, the initial strategy is to
-discontinue azithromycin if it has been taken. //N.B. the use of azithromycin is now strongly discouraged//. This will often result in a one-time exacerbation of symptoms, particularly from days 10 to 12 (and possibly even for some weeks), as the concentration of the azithromycin slowly wanes, but in the long run will lead to greater stability.
