Brain fog - Cognitive dysfunction (MPKB)

Cognitive dysfunction (brain fog) (MPKB)

Cognitive dysfunction (also known as brain fog) is the loss of intellectual functions such as thinking, remembering, and reasoning of sufficient severity to interfere with daily functioning. Patients with cognitive dysfunction have trouble with verbal recall, basic arithmetic, and concentration.

According to the Marshall Pathogenesis, cognitive dysfunction is caused by microbes.

More severe forms of cognitive dysfunction are seen in diseases such as Alzheimer's, diseases for which there is strong evidence of a bacterial etiology. Often associated with chronic fatigue syndrome,1 cognitive dysfunction is also seen in patients with multiple sclerosis, 2 depression, 3 fibromyalgia, 4 and dozens of others diseases.

Like all symptoms of inflammatory disease, cognitive dysfunction may temporarily increase during periods of immunopathology. Cognitive dysfunction can be managed using the generic strategies for managing immunopathology, and should resolve over the course of the Marshall Protocol (MP).
