What is the Coimbra Protocol? A Complete Guide to High-Dose Vitamin D

Discover the Coimbra Protocol - a scientific approach with high-dose Vitamin D to rebalance the immune system in autoimmune diseases.

My personal journey: nearly 20 years of healing and overcoming with this treatment.

Paraphrasing Isaac Newton, if I have reached this far, it is because I stood on the shoulders of a giant.

The Coimbra Protocol gave me back my life and, in time, it became a mission.

I'm Yara, the voice of the Coimbra Protocol in Spanish.

It's a treatment for autoimmune diseases that uses high doses of vitamin D to treat the immune system, not the disease itself.

Vitamin D dosage in the Coimbra Protocol

The doses that each patient needs in their treatment are defined by the doctor during the appointment.

The Coimbra Protocol is a strictly medical treatment, always under the supervision of trained doctors.

Autoimmune diseases have a genetic origin

Autoimmune diseases share a common genetic origin, related to variations (called polymorphisms) in vitamin D metabolism. These changes can affect how the body uses this vitamin, influencing the development and course of these diseases.
