Vitamin D deficiency is actually a fairly common medical diagnosis for many who live in the United States because much of the food we eat is often nutritionally lacking in these types of vitamins and naturally occurring minerals our bodies need to sustain life. However, in places such as Seattle, where the weather is particularly gray for many months out of the year, it becomes much more difficult to get vitamin D from the sun, which is how most people compensate for the deficiency in the first place.
As a result of this, there are certain medical conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, which are much more likely to affect the residents of northern locations like Seattle. There is scientific research that suggests this is the result of vitamin D deficiency. The Coimbra Protocol in Seattle may be able to help treatments of multiple sclerosis and other auto-immune vitamin D-related deficiency conditions, such as rheumatoid arthrits and psoriasis. What is the Coimbra Protocol?
How Does the Coimbra Protocol Work?
While the Coimbra Protocol is available in Seattle, where only one of five doctors in the United States who is certified in the procedure is located, it was actually developed in Brazil by a neurologist and professor named Dr. Coimbra. He believes many auto-immune disorders are the result of a lack of vitamin D in the body, whether from a genetic structural situation or an environmental issue.
As a result, the Coimbra Protocol focuses on making sure patients have enough vitamin D in their system by putting them on a very high dosage regimen. The treatment is individually tailored based on the results of lab work that is conducted by a certified specialist to assure safety of the treatment regimen. Once the results of this lab work are complete, the specialist is able to then construct a highly detailed plan and schedule several follow up visits with the patient throughout the year.
