I am the only Naturopathic Doctor (ND) in Canada who is trained in the Coimbra Protocol, a medically supervised, vitamin D–based approach used in multiple sclerosis (MS) and other autoimmune conditions.
What Is the Coimbra Protocol?
Developed by Dr. Cicero Coimbra, MD, PhD, the Coimbra Protocol is based on research suggesting that some individuals with autoimmune disease have a functional resistance to vitamin D. The protocol uses personalized vitamin D dosing, along with diet and lifestyle measures, to help regulate immune system activity.
What Makes It Different?
- Individualized dosing
- Regular laboratory monitoring
- A low-calcium diet and proper hydration
- Ongoing supervision by a trained provider
Conditions Commonly Addressed
The protocol is most widely used in multiple sclerosis (MS) and has also been applied in other autoimmune conditions, including thyroid autoimmunity, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, lupus, and inflammatory bowel disease. Candidacy and results vary by individual.

As a trained ND, I provide:
