 The symptoms of mental immmunopathology include apathy, sluggishness, cognitive dysfunction (brain fog), feeling paralyzed by misery, anxiety and depression. Managing these symptoms of microbial die-off is a challenge, particularly when those symptoms are mental. For example, mental immunopathology can be difficult to recognize as such.  The symptoms of mental immmunopathology include apathy, sluggishness, cognitive dysfunction (brain fog), feeling paralyzed by misery, anxiety and depression.

-There are variety of ways to limit the discomfort of mental symptoms on the Marshall Protocol. These include restricting light, taking antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications, and seeking out social and faimly support. Patients have also reported that a proper attitude, if not always cheerful, attitude has allowed them to do the MP safely and effectively. +There are variety of ways to limit the discomfort of mental symptoms on the Marshall Protocol.

-A person with periodontal disease can clearly see her receded gums, and there is little ambiguity about the effect of constipation on a patient's gastrointestinal tract. On the other hand, those with illnesses with a profound mental component often have trouble recognizing that part of their condition as such. Instead, they tend to overestimate the role circumstance and personal choice play in how they feel. +A person with periodontal disease can clearly see her receded gums, and there is little ambiguity about the effect of constipation on a patient's gastrointestinal tract.

 By all indications, microbes exist in the brain as they do in any number of other unexpected locations: NASA clean rooms,(({{pubmed>long:17655710}})) two miles below the surface of a glacier(({{pubmed>long:16332755}})) and [[http://www.divediscover.whoi.edu/hottopics/bacteria.html|hydrothermal vents]]. Further, an activated immune response is indiscriminate in what microbial communities it targets. Therefore, just as we would expect symptoms of any other conditions to be temporarily exacerbated by the MP, we also expect mental symptoms to become worse. Indeed, almost everyone who goes on the MP for a minimum length of time has some form of mental immunopathology.  By all indications, microbes exist in the brain as they do in any number of other unexpected locations: NASA clean rooms,(({{pubmed>long:17655710}})) two miles below the surface of a glacier(({{pubmed>long:16332755}})) and [[http://www.divediscover.whoi.edu/hottopics/bacteria.html|hydrothermal vents]].
