Newly Diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes Put Into Remission With The High Vit D Coimbra Protocol

[burtlancast]

This Italian man is treated by an Italian doctor trained in the Coimbra high Vit D protocol, and has been doing just fine with no need of insulin at all.

Type 1 diabetes

"No need for insulin therapy"


"I had the diagnosis of type 1 Diabetes in April 2017, I started the protocol in June 2017, so I'm officially completing 1 year of the Coimbra protocol now.

I haven't taken insulin since may 2017!!!

60000 IU Daily, good nutrition and lots of sports.

It's been a busy year, but the results are worth it. The doctors who opposed me now study the protocol with interest and describe me as a unique case. I'm being followed by various specialists and we're monitoring the situation together. What can I say?

That until now everything is going great!

Pth below the minimum already after the first 3 months and perfect metabolic control without insulin!

We continue with determination and trust!!!"

Has Dr. Coimbra ever attempted to tapper off the vitamin D dosage after remission of symptoms?

 

[Hans]

Is the vit D taken orally or topical?

About 10k IU daily seems to be needed to maintain summer level metabolism in winter when no sunshine is received. I have no doubt many patients can be cured by correcting their D deficiency.

Interesting, but I'm curious as to how its possible. Not doubting necessarily, but I thought the definition of type 1 diabetes means you literally do not produce insulin? Or is the definition more broad to include people who "don't produce enough"? If it's the latter, that makes more sense, but how can you go from producing none to producing any?

Type 1 is caused by an immune attack on the Beta pancreatic cells producing insulin. Stop the auto immunity and you stop the killing of the Beta cells, therefore you begin producing insulin naturally again.

Very interesting, and also very encouraging. I'm really not surprised, always seems like mainstream medicine is proven wrong on something yet again. I'm always dubious when the claim is made that something can not be fixed or cured. Thems' fighting words lol

I've only been taking 30,000 iu Vit D. Maybe I should up that

So they stopped insulin in May, and started the protocol in June? I'd like to know how they were diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes (A1C, c-peptide, antibodies?). If their beta cell function was gone, it's highly unlikely they could stop insulin completely and remain functional. Sounds more like LADA or MODY to me, or a very early Type 1 diagnosis. Maybe they truly were cured of Type I, but it sure would be nice to have more information to go on.

Do you restrict calcium? I personally would not go over 10k of vitamin D daily to be safe without getting the labs Dr. Coimbra advises and considering other supplements he recommends.

Ah, I don’t have diabetes. Currently no. I’ve taken 30,000 iu for 2 months and only median range for D3.
I’m considering upping it for the estrogen lowering property, which I need reduced ASAP.

I haven’t followed Coimbra, unfortunately I don’t know which supplements you’re talking about

His guidelines are that anyone can safely take 10k daily but if a person goes higher they should restrict calcium intake, drink 2.5 L of water a day, get labs (I do not know them all off the top of my head but they can be found online) and take some other supplements to help the body handle the high doses of D including but not limited to b2 and magnesium. I will try to find the list. He actually advises working with a health care provider if one is going to be on high doses.

@Arrade, here is a link to information about the protocol. Even if you aren't going to officially do the protocol you might benefit reading the link if you are thinking about staying on high doses of vitamin D.

this website disagrees, and would make you save money:

One pill every two weeks gives you all the vitamin D most adults need |

 

[rei]

It might very well be equivalent, it just feels safer to take 10k daily instead of 50k every 5-7 days.

I do take magnesium and vitamin K.
Thanks, this is my first time hearing of a limiting guideline

It also concerns me that taking a lot of vitamin D while dealing with high estro or cortisol may be a poor choice as the calcium metabolism is errant

There is a book of taking high vitamin D above 10,000 iu and I heard of psoriasis sufferings doing as such, however I definitely welcome advice if that’s bad

 

[Amazoniac]

In a protocol it becomes difficult to know how great is the contribution of nutrients other than the protagonist..

I don't know that it is always bad but it's good to be prepared and aware of potential problems.

Every 7 or 14 days actually. Safety isn’t a problem as they show it with studies on that website (pretty ugly I’ll admit). 500kIU gets blood levels back to optimal within 3 days, in a deficient individual. Then it depends on the risk levels
