Let’s talk about the best nutrient for autoimmune conditions. This information is based on an interesting protocol developed by Dr. Coimbra.
According to Dr. Coimbra, “all or nearly all patients with an autoimmune disease have an increased resistance to the effects of vitamin D.”
So, someone with an autoimmune disease may have not only a deficiency of vitamin D but also a resistance to vitamin D. This means that to raise the vitamin D levels in patients with an autoimmune condition, they may require a much higher dose than the average person without an autoimmune disorder.
In general, the medical health care system recommends taking only 600 IU of vitamin D per day. However, other credible sources discuss taking at least 10,000 IU of vitamin D with no risks.
The chemistry of vitamin D is very similar to steroid hormones. With an autoimmune condition, your immune system is out of control and is attacking itself. But, one of the incredible functions of vitamin D is its ability to act as an immune regulator. Vitamin D can also help reduce inflammation, which is common in autoimmune conditions.
The more resistant you are to vitamin D, the higher your risk is for autoimmune disease and other conditions.
Other potential causes of resistance to vitamin D:
• Vitamin D polymorphism
• Darker skin
• Metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance
• Obesity
• Age
• A lack of vitamin D in the diet
• A lack of sun exposure
Keep in mind that it’s very important to find a doctor that is experienced with the Coimbra protocol to work with you while doing the protocol.
This protocol determines the vitamin D dosage by measuring your parathyroid hormone. The goal of this protocol is to drop your parathyroid hormone into the lower level of the normal range.
The amount of vitamin D that someone would take could range from 40,000 IU per day to 200,000 IU per day. To minimize the main potential side effect of this protocol (hypercalcemia), you would want to avoid calcium and drink 2.5 liters of fluid per day.
Contact a doctor who is experienced in the Coimbra protocol to get started.

As an autoimmune patient, totally agree with this. I’ve had a battle with my doctors here in Canada when I stopped the chemo in 2020. I was very sick, and mostly steroids allow me to move and breath again, but it cause lots of side effects, and the other medication even worse. I changed my diet radically, and incremented D3, complex B, C, and Magnesium. Today in remission for over 2 years. Thank you Dr Berg 🙏🏻

Back when I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, my rheumatologist started me on 49,000 UT of D3 and Omega 3 for 90 days. I now have zero symptoms ❤❤❤❤

My son was diagnosed with Crohn’s when he was 11. I put him on this protocol 4 months ago. We just had an upper and lower GI. Everything came back great. Biopsies are negative. He’s gained 15 pounds and his stomach pain is minimal. To say I am indebted to you for this information is an understatement. God bless you, Dr.!!

My mom had a Vitamin D deficiency for years and didn't know it until a few years ago. Her calcium levels were also believed to have been low for an extended time, which led to soft bones (unsure if low calcium was related to low Vitamin D levels over time). She devoted her life to servitude as a Nurse. Just over a year ago she got out of the car, twisted her foot on a rock, and broke it. She had to have surgery and the doctors could not even get the screws to go into her bone because of how soft it was. Only ten days after surgery, she died suddenly at 58 YOA of what is believed to have been a blood clot that went to her lung(s). I was visiting her only three days before her death and she asked me to rub her feet with a warm cloth due to low circulation. This was a very unusual request from her, but I am thankful for that moment because it was the last time I saw or talked to her.

I had stage 4 cancer and beat it. I was fairly healthy based on standard measures but not really (obviously). I changed a lot of things. I increased my vit D to 20k daily. I also take triple vit K along with it. After 5 years of this plus my regular multiple plus 1tbl daily of cod liver oil, I show no signs of sickness or toxicity from the D. And even though I used to get kidney stones pre cancer, on my new routine I have had no problems.

I have Hashimoto thyroid disease and in 2019 I developed eczema, because of your videos I started using 10,000 IU of vitamin D and it has kept me from having flare ups, anytime I’ve tried to take a little less D I would within days have the eczema back. I tried going gluten free and it had no effect on the eczema. Thank you for your helpful videos!

Dr. Berg is so awesome. My daughter had a Vitamin D loss and then had 2 major trauma events. They thought it was something else and gave her drugs; the bad type of drugs that made everything worse. And they told her to stay out of the sun.....So through a couple months of pulling her out of college, seeing a dietician instead, we are boosting the vitamin D a LOT. She's coming back to herself.

Currently on the coimbra protocol I do feel much better then when I first started just wished I would of started it before I got disabled but slowly I’m healing and walking much more with assistance of a Walker but all glory to God and having faith I will be healed again!!! Don’t give up guys anything is possible

One thing no one ever says is Vit. D is fat soluble. I worked outside every day for 6 years. I took 50,000 IU of vit. D daily, I always tested deficient. Recently a young lady taking my blood said, You need to take some kind of oil like olive, Avacado or coconut oil when taking Vit. D. Since I started doing that, I feel a huge difference in ability to think again.
-
Just so people know as he has mentioned in other videos, for every 10,000 ius of vit D3, you must take at least 100mcgs of K2 (mk7) so that the calcium is deposited in the bones and not arteries/organs… it goes in the right place 😊
-
I recently had blood work done. They refused to check my vitamin D level. After telling them multiple times to be sure to check my Vitamin D AND ALSO my magnesium, they STILL didn't. And to boot, the doctor took up much of my time and her trying to convince me to begin a "high cholesterol" medication. (Even though everything showed up great - my liver, kidneys, etc.) I really wish I would have asked her "How much do you get paid for me going on your dangerous medicine?"
-
Had double vision and slight difficulty in swallowing and also got weak muscles Didn’t know what to take I am so thankful that I found Dr Berg And took D 3 vit K and doing IF and keto even not 100% keto After a year I am back to like 95% to my normal s life I am sooo grateful to Dr Berg ❤
-
I started taking D3 liquid drops during the lock down & still can’t get over how much better my body feels. No aches or pains & I am more active. (Thx Dr B!)
-
DrBerg, I have Hashimotos and my body does not process vitamin D very well. If I up the dosage to 10,000 I start loosing hair in chunks. If I back of on the D, then my hair stops falling out. This is SO FRUSTRATING. I also live in Alaska. Thank you for your videos🙂 Update, Not that anyone cares but I started using liquid vitamins and that makes a HUGE difference ❤️❤️
-
Life saving. ❤ This is exactly right and with my doctor (I have a good doctor) we checked my D levels after 3 months, 3 more months, then every 6 months until my supplementing and diet sustained normal D levels. Life changing, and no more immune system episodes for me, thank you. I’d love to see a Patreon or donation button in the description.

Where has this great doctor been all of my life??? I've just recently discovered him and have learned so much!!! Wish I'd known this years ago!!! May God continue to richly bless this great doctor that is truly helping so many people!

Dr. Berg should author a book titled “The Human Body Owners Manual”! Almost all my knowledge of nutrition has come from you Eric! I’ve been applying it and my life has been improving. My better half and I have lost over 60 pounds and feel fantastic, doing clean keto and intermittent fasting has completely changed our lives. Thank you for being You!

It's definitely a no brainer. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos at 25. Had several miscarriages. Had a hysterectomy due to endometriosis and fibroid. Lost my job as a Fire Lieutenant wen I started having chronic pain, short term memory loss, and muscle weakness. Was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and ME/CFS, and 3 years later diagnosed with Lupus. I now have a mass growing at the Parotid Gland. I o this Thursday for a biopsy. I'm nervous but determined to overcome the war within my body. I'm writing, painting and do photography. Art has been a saving grace for me. I'm now in the process of forgiving my body and realise that I need to take responsibility for the things I've put my body through, which entails forgiving myself. Every day is a new day. A day to change what we can. A day to be grateful for the blessings in our life, despite the inner battles. Thank you Dr. BERG! You've been a huge help to me!

I was just diagnosed with Hashimotos a week ago and I needed to hear this. I find your videos very helpful and informative. Thank you!
