Coimbra Protocol for autoimmune diseases

[Vajra91]

There is also another thing that might be important, although it is still a little controversial. And that is the specific form of Omega 3's. Some people say that the phospholipid form is better.

Interesting.. God, so many things to consider..
Well, nobody seems to be making the case for the phospholipid form being less effective than the triglyceride form (or the ethyl ester form), so even if it's superiority is still up for debate, I guess there's no reason not to play it safe and go for the phospholipid omega3 form (which always seems to come as part of oils that also contain the triglyceride form, anyway).
Thank you for sharing that.

Indeed ! Not only fruits and vegetables are more polluted (glyphosate is an incredible evil, it takes the place of the marvellous amino-acid glycine !! ), but also they are transformed: selected to be more big and juicy and more fructose (sugar is inflammatory), genetically modified, artificially grown by force (fertilize, hormones for plants), and poor of minerals (because soils are poor especially of magnesium).

Fruits and vegetables from today are nothing to do with those 1 century before. At the contrary, they are inflammation-inducers. Moreover, they've got natural toxics (phytic acid, lectins, oxalate - see Keyhole's thread on oxalate). These latters didn't have so much impact 1 century before as fruits were not so denatured, perverted as nowadays.

Perhaps with organic fruits the pollution can be limited. But I agree it's not easy to know what is being the word "organic".
Anyway Cayce say: "so that there are those reactions that make for better unification in the membranes' reaction within the body". So the fructose may be useful to turn on some reactions in the body. A link with that: How Fructose Turns ON Your “Fat Switch”?

Yes, even if it is not more effective, it protects the lipids from oxidation, which is the main problem with fish oils, so it's good at least in that regard. When I was taking cod liver oil I was burping like crazy the whole day, but with salmon oil very little. So that's something to pay attention to.

I think that organic fruits can be achieved only with some types of fruits, like with old types of apples which are resistant to diseases. The modern types are not resistant so they need to be protected with pesticides and other bad stuff, so there is no way to make them organic no matter how much you try.

Well, I thought it was possible but with 50% of the harvest losed.

Maybe, but with the old types there should be no loss. I have some such types in my village and I never had any loss and they were never sprayed.

I agree. In western country, they no more use original old seeds.

it's not only a "pesticids or not pesticids" question, it's a broader matter: fruits and vegetables are completelly transformed (genetically, poorness in minerals).
What is fructose good for us? Fruits are rich in vit C, antioxydants? Well, it's like one says "breakfasts cereals are good because they are rich of magnesium". Yeah rich of magnesium, but much more rich of bad stuff.
In the Mercola's link you provide, it's well said that fructose is bad. Uric acid comes from fructose too, and uric acid is highly inflammatory, it gives lithiases, joint inflammation, gout, arterial hypertension, etc.

Fructose is a sugar, just like glucose. But when it's metabolized, it's actually very different from glucose, and this makes all the difference in the world in terms of weight and health.
While all cells use some energy in the process of metabolizing food, whether it's fat or sugar, fructose uses up so much energy that the cell becomes energy-depleted. As a result, the cell stops functioning normally and starts to develop an inflammatory response, also known as oxidative stress.
In a nutshell, a high-fructose diet causes chronic inflammation in your body, which glucose does not do.

"We found that when the energy is depleted... the ATP levels fell (ATP is our energy source). The ATP that had been consumed broke down. Suddenly, a substance called uric acid formed. Uric acid is the substance that we know can cause gout, but it's been long associated with obesity... It wasn't really thought that the uric acid might have a role in obesity. This was a big challenge, because no one really wanted to believe that, but what we were able to show is that uric acid can actually stimulate fat accumulation in cells... The research clearly demonstrates that even if you control the number of calories you eat, if those calories come from fructose, you are at increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome

Cayce gave interesting lectures to his clients, with good results, but remember that channelers transmit informations (here from akhasic archives) to people on Earth according to their culture, to their living time, to what is available at that time (phytotherapy and its herbal infusions, real fruits, essential oil, mostly). Photobiomodulation, Quinton plasma, stem cells, Reiki, etc weren't available.
However, there are certainly interesting stuff in Cayce lectures that can be usefull for us. I think about his electical stuff (wet cell).

My father has had psoriasis for a long time, he told me recently that rubbing banana peel against the skin helps him a lot. It kind of sounds stupid, but it is harmless to try. :) At very least, it can soften the skin

Hi everyone! I wanted to write a report on my progress thus far.

So.. For the last three months I've been using this Coimbra protocol, along with autohemotherapy (now with a more appropriate dosage of 10ml 1/week) and a better diet (essentially the Autoimmune Protocol diet from The Paleo Mom ~ The Paleo Mom, only revised to rely more on fish and shellfish rather than organ meat). Though I will admit, I do have a tendency to "cheat" on the diet every now and then, especially as I'm getting better

Speaking of the results.. They are outstanding. Even before the end of the first month, my psoriasis on the scalp had already nearly vanished, along with most of the pain I was experiencing on the skin all over my body (pain which, as I wrote previously, had already been diminished by previous months of autohemotherapy at a lower dosage, but was slowly creeping it's way back to me). By the end of the second month, my chest, abdomen, back and arms had greatly improved. And now, by the end of the third month, even my legs (which were always the most seriously and thoroughly affected) are clearing up more and more. Overall, if I had to quantify the improvements, I would say that my psoriasis is now a good 70-75% better.

I also had some blood and urine tests done this month (which is the main reason I waited three months before reporting), and despite the crazy high daily intake of vitamin D, it looks like everything is in order (cholesterol was slightly worrisome actually, but that should not have anything to do with the protocol, and may be related to only fasting for about 8 hours before the blood withdrawal. I'll have to be more careful next time). Mind you, I did not check my vitamin D levels (wasn't prescribed by the specialist and I forgot to request it myself), but considering I take 70.000 IU every day I would expect them to be quite high. Then again, it is my understanding that so long as Parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels remain within the normal range, there should be no risks.

Honestly, even though I already had pretty high expectations going into this.. This feels like nothing short of a miracle. To think that I could heal so quickly after such a long time.. If this protocol is as effective for other, more serious autoimmune diseases as it is for psoriasis (and it should be), then it's REALLY invaluable. I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone with such a disease to seriously look into this.

Of course, because I approached the problem from multiple angles (coimbra protocol, AHT and AIP) I cannot ascribe the entirety of the results, and how quickly they came to be, only to the protocol. My take is that everything is working in tandem. Perhaps any one part (be it the protocol, AHT or the diet) might have worked even on it's own eventually, but I doubt that it would have been this quick. IMHO.

Anyway.. I guess that's all for right now. I think I'm still processing the fact that I'm actually healing and virtually pain-free.. Before this I was seriously starting to lose hope. I probably still have quite a ways to go before I can just stop with this protocol, but I'll keep you posted on any further developments as they come.

Good to hear you are on the mend, Vajra91! And thanks for reporting back.
