 ====== Baths  ======
+<note warning>Body temperature should not be raised by more than a couple degrees and not over 100 degrees.
-Taking a hot **bath** or shower (or spending time in a hot room) can lead to increased body temperature and cause blood vessels to dilate, which lowers blood pressure and can cause lightheadedness or dizziness. Marshall Protocol (MP) patients with this concern should take warm instead of hot showers or baths and try to keep the bathroom cool.
+Patients who tend to get lightheaded or dizzy should exercise care and take their temperatures to be safe.
+Raising body temperature too high could raise blood pressure to a level that could result in confusion, nausea, drowsiness or dizziness.
-===== Hot baths increase immunopathology =====
+Patients should not use hot tubs with temperatures above 104 degrees.</note>
-Some MP patients may decide they want to increase their rate of immunopathology. For them, there is the option of taking hot baths, which can lead to increased tissue perfusion of antibiotics. This, in turn, can cause increased bacterial die-off and immunopathology. This is particularly helpful if a patient's inflammation is in tissues poorly perfused by blood like nerve, joint and skin.
+===== Hot baths may increase lightheadedness or dizziness =====
-For patients who decide to take a hot bath to speed immunopathology, the best time to do this is probably within the first 12 hours of antibiotic dosing, when serum concentration is highest.
+Taking a hot **bath** or shower (or spending time in a hot room) can lead to increased body temperature and cause blood vessels to dilate, which lowers blood pressure and can cause lightheadedness or dizziness.
+Marshall Protocol (MP) patients with this concern should take warm instead of hot showers or baths and try to keep the bathroom cool. Ending a warm shower with a short period of cooler water can prevent congestion in the tissues and may even relieve pain.
-==== Words of caution ====
-Body temperature should not be raised by more than a couple degrees and not over 100 degrees. Also, patients who tend to get lightheaded or dizzy should exercise care and take their temperatures to be safe. Raising body temperature too high could raise blood pressure to a level that could result in confusion, nausea, drowsiness or dizziness. Patients should not use hot tubs with temperatures above 104 degrees.
+===== Hot baths may increase immunopathology =====
+Hot baths can lead to increased flow of blood in all tissues of the body. Especially the tissues typically more poorly perfused by blood like nerve, joint and skin. This, in turn, can cause increased bacterial die-off and immunopathology due to better perfusion in all tissues of the VDR agonist, olmesartan.
