How Not To Die With True High-Dose Vitamin D Therapy: Coimbra’s Protocol and the Secrets of Safe High-Dose Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 Supplementation Kindle Edition

I wouldn't want to be attempting really high dose vitamin D supplementing without this book. With the book I feel much safer. In the description there is a list of things you will learn by reading this book. One of them wasn't satisfactorily answered for me. How can I be sure true high-dose vitamin D therapy actually works? Other than MS being treated by Coimbra et. al. the examples given used dosing resulting in well under 100 ng/ml (250 nmol/L). This along with Jeff Bowles anecdotes in his book though are good enough for me but I was expecting more.It seems that both the author and Coimbra are confused about vitamin K2. Apparently Coimbra doesn't use K2 because he believes it can't be enough due to all the calcium being mobilized. Henriques worries that too much K2 could possibly put too much calcium into bones. They both fail to understand that you can't activate more than all of the K2 dependent enzymes made by your body. Once that happens you can add 100x more K2 with zero effect.There is no mention of why vitamin D exists. Vitamin D evolved over a hundred million years ago. It is a hormone. Hormones exist to cause the body to behave differently depending on circumstances. The purpose of vitamin D is to slow down body systems to help survive winter. People keep talking about vitamin D as if it was a nutrient. With nutrients less is bad because you use the nutrient for health. Vitamin D being a hormone is not used for any chemical reactions for health. It is a signal to conserve energy. If your blood level is below 60 ng/ml it signals your body to slow down. No need to fight a new patch of cancer when we can just wait until summer when there is more food and then kill it off. Today humans have blood levels well below the slow-down-the-immune-system point and it is that way for 365 days a year for their entire lives. Looking at it this way I don't understand why going way over 60 ng/ml would have any additional effect. Still, I am going to give it a try and I am glad to have this book.

Nothing new here really...basic primer about Vitamin D. Badly written. like they were talking to a 10 year old or somebody who has hardly ever read any book about health related subjects other than maybe a couple of glossy magazines..get Jeff Bowles' book instead - if you haven't already...

This book is a must read for everyone taking vitamin K2. I started taking K2 about 2 years ago. The product I am taking also includes K1. I was thrilled when my bones went back to normal but hat I also noticed was that my vita D turned out too low plus my Blood clotted too slow.From this book I learned why these things are happen and I learned how to fix my situation.Very well written. Don’t think there is another book out there which addresses how Vita K, D and calcium works together plus addressing the dangers that can happen by dosing incorrectly.As a bonus I would say, this book also lists and explains the optimal blood test readings.I just bought another copy to give away to a friend. It’s a must read.

This author's first language is not English, but if you can get past that, the information presented in this book is intended to be consumed by someone without a medical background that just wants to be cured of one of about a half-dozen horrible diseases. Chapter 5 contains very specific protocol recommendations, and appendix D gives in-depth information on the recommended blood work to do to monitor how your specific body systems react to the protocol. Buy this book. Find an orthomolecular-friendly doctor to administer this protocol. Get cured of diseases that modern medicine has yet to find another reliable cure for.

The book explains, like no other, the treatment with high doses of vitamin D3. To understand in depth the Coimbra's protocol, the author analyzes the biological and pathological bases to establish the foundation of the treatment. It does not leave any concept without understanding. The author of this book reveals an enormous capacity and enormous humility and intelligence.Thank you very much, Tiago

Honestly, after getting diagnosed with MS and not wanting traditional pharmaceutical treatment I did a solid amount of research into natural remedies... Of all the books I purchased on Amazon in reference to treating MS with vitamin D, this book has been my favorite! It's very informative and an easy read! I recommend it for anyone looking into vitamin D treatment and especially those who are following the Coimbra protocol!

This is the fourth book I have read on the topic of High Dose Vitamin D3. Without a doubt the best read so far. The author has gone to great lengths to clearly lay out all of the pros and cons of the topic. Of special importance is the addition of Vitamin K2. That has been very well explained. An easy read, even for a layman like me!

The author breaks down VD for us in the simplest way. He also explains the reason for high dose VD and VK2, very well. Please go out and support his book by telling people about the benefits of VD-we all need this information.

good book!! but:-Appendix not available- it is not posible to acces chapter por chapter, when using "go to":in a normal kindle book, it is possible to seek any part of the book with a button "go to"...but not in yours.in a novel , no problem.. but in a science book, we often have to go back and forth. without the "go to" refering to emplacement (chapter 1, chapter 2, appendix A, appendix B...), it s quite impossible.

Finally I found a book with all the details !I am doing this protocol on my own over a year now it works and I am following it with bloodwork every 2-3 months.I am a registered nurse so I have some background and I have access to doctors with different specialties to ask questions so I consider myself lucky.This book is very informative and organized and understandable to everyone if you can get a doctor to support you and order all the bloodwork and bone density test start on it.I know it works but it requires supervision !!!!!
