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).

In the fight against autoimmunity, any positive change not matter how big it is should be considered a win and should be considered a sign of success.

The Coimbra Protocol is, to my knowledge, the best therapeutic option to fight autoimmunity. It is not a straight road to recovery though, as some testimonials may portray: it has a lot of ups and downs, twists and turns, and sometimes dead-ends. Thousands of patients have felt its effects but there are those who didn't feel it.

It should be acknowledged that the Coimbra Protocol doesn't help everyone.
