HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!
Can vitamin D help with autoimmune disease? Dr. Cicero Coimbra is a neurologist who developed the Coimbra protocol, which involves using high doses of vitamin D3 to put autoimmune diseases into remission. Watch this fascinating interview with Dr. Coimbra as we discuss the amazing benefits of vitamin D.

9:58 How to find doctors trained by Dr. Coimbra
DATA:
Dr. Coimbra first discovered the benefits of vitamin D when he noticed significant improvement in a patient with Parkinson’s disease and vitiligo after giving them 10,000 IU of vitamin D per day.
As Dr. Coimbra learned more about vitamin D, he began to increase his patients’ dosage while closely monitoring them for symptoms of toxicity. He found that he could prevent an increase of calcium in the urine caused by higher doses of vitamin D by asking his patients to decrease their dairy intake. Magnesium can also be taken with high doses of vitamin D to help control calcium levels and aid absorption.
People with autoimmune disorders often have polymorphisms affecting any of the nine genes that vitamin D requires for proper function. Vitamin D deficiency is also related to modern lifestyles that limit sun exposure.
In 1988, it was discovered that we have vitamin D receptors in almost every cell of the body. This triggered an increase in vitamin D research and the understanding that vitamin D was important for far more than just bone and calcium. If you have a problem with vitamin D metabolism, you could be prone to many diseases.
Dr. Coimbra explains that some health concerns must be addressed with doses of up to 600,000 IU of vitamin D. This dosage may also be helpful before surgery.
When treating people with autoimmune diseases, Dr. Coimbra gives his patients 1,000 IU of vitamin D per kilogram of body weight.

Thanks for watching! I hope this interview with Dr. Coimbra increases your awareness about vitamin D and autoimmune diseases. I’ll see you in the next video.
Not the video I was looking for, but somehow the video I needed
“You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometime…….you get what you need”.
What were you looking for? A “naughty” video? 😂😂😂
@@Kareena1988 No Avatar? I’ve never seen that before. It definitely sets you apart. Cool 😎
@@theredboneking yeah..I am vip 😆
More doctors need to uphold their oath and teach the truth to healing .
Sadly doctor’s just don’t know about this because they’re were taught differently
Doctor heal thyself.
doctors know the truth, but their roles in society is to keep people sick, rather than heal people, their role is to make their patients long term customers of big phrama, big insurance, and the medical industrial complex.
@@imanibraz5004 they memorize symptoms, and the prescription drug for it. Vs more natural, healthy, non toxic, no side effect ways for healing. Always a pill
Drug manufacturers would take away their licenses.
Dr.Berg is smiling right through the video. Clearly shows the passion about vitamin D recommendation and the critical role it plays.
@@bionicloafI have been following DrBerg for years, it’s not about him selling supplements, he clearly believes in what he does. He takes the time to explain things and doesn’t keep people waiting till the end of a video to give an answer.
I so appreciate your information about Vitamin D. It’s so important that this information gets out. In 2010 I was having symptoms of M.S. I went to a Neurologist who found lesions on my brain, but stopped short of diagnosing me with full-blown M.S. because I didn’t meet all of the criteria. He told me to come back when I had my ‘second episode’. While I was there, I had a conversation with the nurse who told me it was not uncommon for their patients to take upwards of 40,000 I.U.’s of Vitamin D3…so from that point, I started taking 40,000 I.U.’s of Vitamin D3. I also got serious about the Keto diet around that time. Since then, I’ve never had those same debilitating symptoms that led me to the Neurologist in the first place, and I also cured a life-long issue with depression.
Thank you for sharing that. I wish I had known that 50 years ago when my mother was severely depressed throughout my whole childhood. Sadly, the only thing the doctor or psychiatrist she was singing at the time was electrical shock treatment which absolutely shortened her life and destroyed her quality of life until the day she did pass.😢
I’m really curious, did you grow up or did you ever have cats as pets? On a podcast they were talking about how almost 50% of people with cats were infected with a parasite that may be linked to ms and suggested ms was a parasitic disease
hi, did you take magnesium also ? if yes how many dosage magnesium you take ?
Many thanks
How much vit K2 did u take..?
@@motiongate3229 Back then…I do not remember. I’ve experimented with a lot of supplements and diet through the years. Back then, I did not even know about taking K2 with the Vitamin D3. Right now, I take 400 mg of Magnesium Glycinate, plus the 60 mg of Magnesium Malate I get in my Electrolytes.
My child is dealing with an autoimmune disease & this is definitely a much needed reminder to not only give her the regular daily dose, but to increase the amount needed. Thanks to both of these Doctors!👏❤️
Just remember to add K2 and magnesium.
We need an hour long episode with dr coimbra
Why don’t you just listen to this one over and over again until you’re satisfied.
Thanks for the suggestion and encouragement! Appreciated!
Would you be happy with 60 minutes?
@@Boyhowdy875Not helpful.
@@zachturner8745 yes
There is a reason you have 13 million subscriber, doc!
Thanks to you all!
@@Drberg Dr B, in my comment I did forget to mention that your information and framework helped me put together a plan that worked for me. I cut out processed sugars and seed oils. All organic honey bear ice cream twice a month or wherever as a treat. I cut out all the crap from home, but traveling eating at restaurants I order the options possible. Your work is appreciated and I have purchased some of your products, that do help.
Dr. Berg is a blessing to all humanity.
Thank you. My disease just became very aggressive. I started taking higher levels of vitamin d out of desperation because I was in so much pain. This morning, I got up with considerable relief.
I’m happy for you. I hope you see more improvements in your health soon.
Most doctors never ask you what you are eating.
💯
most doctors have little training in nutrition
Or check your vitamin levels
I don’t know where I would have been without Dr Berg YouTube videos 4 years now 💯
Amen.
Thank you for your continued support. Have a great weekend.
Doctor, I suffer from fourth-degree liver cirrhosis without ascites. Is there hope for recovery without a transplant? What is the method? I am 45 years old, weigh 92 kg, and am 163 cm tall. @@Drberg
Sorry to hear about your problem. I have tips here that you can try: https://www.youtube.com/@Drberg/search?query=cirrhosis
Dr. Berg, I took your advise and started on 10K IU D3 plus Magnesium and Zinc. I’ve had horrible chronic lumbar pain for 20 yrs post op from a laminectomy. CBD helps but after just a week of D3 I’m at level 1- 2 vs 6-7 daily pain. Also I’m on BP meds and noticed my blood pressure and blood sugar lowering from the D3. I’ve been on your 18 hr daily fast for 2 yrs as well with great results. Thank you for being a REAL doctor. 😁
Any certain brand of d3 ur taking?
Great to hear from you! Very well done on all your progress. Keep it up!
@@kathy4015
Generic Target brand. Same formula as name brands just less $$
Dr Berg please please cover MS @Drberg
OH-
It seems that Buckeyes always win!
This is interesting about using Silica to remove Aluminum. I’d like to hear more about this, especially how to use Silica that way. What Silica?
I notice silica is soldonline in a supplement form. Agree more info needed. For example: dosage?
Bet we can learn more by going to this doctors website!
Hello there! Here is a video with additional information. Check it out! 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXnx6HXzkFw
@Drberg Thanks
Diatomaceous earth!!
Dr. Berg, I have been seeing your videos on YouTube for years and thought you were just another MD on YouTube trying to make a buck. I have suffered with “idiopathic peripheral neuropathy” for years. My A1C has always been below 5.4. I can’t tell you how many nights I have not been able to sleep because of the neuropathy. My doctors just keep throwing gabapentin in my face. I was desperate, I would have taken decon if someone told me it would help. I found your videos about benforamine. I got a bottle, and within 2 days of taking it I have stopped the gabapentin. I can’t thank you enough. I am finally able to get some rest without the 8000 volts of electricity shocking my feet and hands, or the bugs crawling up my legs. Thank you SO SO very much. I put this on a newer video so you would see it. Again, I can’t thank you enough, and please don’t ever stop what you do, you are making a difference in people’s lives.
Did you mean benfotiamine?
My vitamin D level was 8. I was prescribed a weekly 50,000 IU dose for I believe 8 weeks. Got me up in the 30s. They didn’t continue me on Vitamin D and, of course, it went back down. During that time, the most prominent issue I had was extreme pain when waking up. I honestly just thought that was normal to have that kind of pain in my 40’s. In December I just took it upon myself to get a D3/K2 vitamin as well as a multivitamin. Now, I don’t have any pain when trying to get out of bed.
It’s amazing how Vitamin D3 helped you. Thanks for sharing your story here.
My story is very similar to yours I’ve just started back taking both due to experiencing bad pain in my body. I’ll be staying on these from now on. Thank you Dr. Berg and the other Doctor!
It depends on what vitamin D was prescribed to you. Doctors Cannon will prescribe vitamin D2 and what we need is D3. That could be why your levels didn’t go up as high as they should. Has Dr Berg stated you can start out at $10,000 IU’s but being that you’re really super low I would go higher.
Yep! The med I got was D , not D3 and no mention of K2 😮 I now have proper kinds ! TY ❤️
@ thank you!
Silica binds aluminium and facillitates its excretion. Now THAT is the kind of information we need to know. Thanks a bunch. <3
100% this can help many, many people. The link between Alzheimer’s and aluminum now becomes clearer, IMO. Lack of vitamin D allows the aluminum to build up in the body/brain. Silica is not a common supplement but is dirt cheap and is required by our body.
Bamboo leaf is a great source of silica. I take 1500 mgs daily. 👌
Totally agree! That was a fantastic piece of information!!!!
@@kmstinsinteresting, thanks!
So does FOOD GRADE diatomaceous earth. I had an inflamed heel for months that got 80% better within 8 hours of taking this stuff. I was blown away! Highly highly anti inflammatory due to its very high Seleca content.
Active duty military here, just wanted to add my two cents. Started taking 10k IUs of D3 with some K2 over a year ago now, haven’t been sick once. That’s saying something considering constant stress and people (including my family) getting sick around me all the time. Consistent workouts and clean(ish) eating make all the difference.
Thank you for your service 🎉
Dr. Berg also recommends that you take magnesium with it at the same time.
@@deborah5227 I saw that, too. I may add it eventually.
The timing of this video is incredible. I have been taking 40,000iu daily for the past 3 days and really worried i was overdoing it. This has reassured me I am on the right track, many thanks.
Just make sure you take it with K2 like Dr Berg recommends and you should be good
@@JesusBelieverDiane Don’t forget Magnesium bisglycinate
Don’t forget the glass of water 😆
Yes, yes, yes to Magnesium! I was taking very high doses of D3 and felt better but started to feel worse again. I realized it was draining my Magnesium and when I supplemented I got better again.
Been following Dr Coimbra’s protocol for nearly 9 months. 40,000 IU D3. I follow up with a trained doctor from Naples Florida. My Scleroderma finally has responded well and remission is such a wonderful thing. I’ve wandered through many Doctors offices, clinics over the past 20 years without anything beyond treating symptoms. This has changed my life. Thank you Dr Berg for getting this out for patients to investigate. Can you elaborate on the amount of Silica might be beneficial for aluminum removal.
Do you follow keto diet along with intermittent fasting in addition to high doses of Vitamin D?Have you checked your Insulin/C – Peptide level?
How many people love and appreciate this YouTube channel?
I used hate going to the doctors appointment especially my heart doctor.
It’s very hard to find a Doctor that listens to you and even remember you ,Wow We need more doctors like you two
