Protocol Coimbra

It is at least fair to say that, although unlikely, it is possible to win the battle against multiple sclerosis.

There is increasing published evidence supporting the use of the Coimbra protocol in autoimmune diseases. This article is a milestone in that process.

I hope I was able to share a clear view into the science behind the use of vitamin D in the treatment of autoimmune conditions and why the Coimbra Protocol is a evidence-supported option to achieve the ultimate goal: helping millions of patients in their quest to a better health.

The mean vitamin D concentration was 21.8 ng/mL. An inverse association was found between vitamin D levels and inflammation. A concentration of less than 20ng/mL was associated with lower vitamin D receptor expression, lower mucosal integrity, and higher levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-8).
