Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you

Today we're going to talk about some really interesting information relating to an autoimmune disease.

Now, if you have an autoimmune condition, this video is going to enlighten you on a protocol

that you may or may not know about.

This information is about the Kohimbra protocol by Dr.

Coimbra. He's a Brazilian neurologist. This is what he said. All or nearly all patients with

autoimmune disease have an increase resistance to the effects of vitamin D.

Now, we know today there are thousands of scientific peer review studies linking the vitamin

D levels to autoimmune diseases. So in other words, if you have

autoimmune disease, chances are you're low in vitamin D. But Dr. Kohimbra took it one step further

and found out that there's not just a deficiency of vitamin D. There's a resistance to vitamin D.

He noticed that in order to raise the vitamin D levels

in these patients with autoimmune diseases, it requires much higher doses than in the average

population. So, for example, if you're going to maintain vitamin D levels in a healthy person,

you'd probably want to use 10,000 I use. And this is also based on quite a few credible sources,

like Dr. Michael Halleck, who's the authority in vitamin D, discusses taking 10,000 IUs of vitamin D

without any chance of toxicity versus the medical health care system in general recommending only 600 iUs

of vitamin D per day. So when you give a patient who has an autoimmune disease, 10,000 I use

of vitamin D3, you may notice only a slight partial improvement. So this topic is very, very important, especially since like 50 million people

in the U.S. have autoimmune conditions. Now, vitamin D is not really a vitamin. It's a hormone.

Its chemistry is very similar to steroid hormones, okay? That's why it creates some very
