Personal account reveals significant remission in multiple sclerosis patients through the Coimbra Protocol, suggesting vitamin D's role.
After 28 years of battling the ravaging effects of multiple sclerosis (MS), I've finally received an MRI result that showed no progression — my first sign of remission. Normally, these MRI results are a gut-wrenching experience, but this time was different — and incredibly encouraging. The credit for my first-ever positive result goes to a brilliant but lesser-known neurologist from Brazil, Dr Cicero Coimbra. His treatment, known as the Coimbra Protocol, utilizes high-dose vitamin D and has helped people with MS and other autoimmune diseases. (1) Thanks to this protocol — along with tens of thousands of other patients worldwide — I have achieved remission and, in many cases, significant symptom improvement. The protocol does involve additional requirements: foremost among them is the need for a properly trained protocol doctor. Specific cofactors are also required, along with some manageable dietary restrictions to maintain proper calcium levels and avoid hypercalcemia.
