A NORMAL LIFE, DESPITE MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS: A sudden tingling that soon evolved into weaknesses and lack of control of the right arm and much fatigue.

But many tests, suspicion of symptoms caused by stress and anxiety, and half a dozen doctors later, she was faced with brain and spinal cord lesions and the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS).

ENGLISH: Beautiful testimony of Juliana Menezes, patient with Multiple Sclerosis who's been following the Coimbra Protocol for 4 years:
“I am not sure how to explain everything that has happened to me since 2015 when I received the diagnosis of MS and the news of my pregnancy (on the same day).
The neurologist told me then that I could not breastfeed and that I had to go through some steroid sessions throughout pregnancy and postpartum. It was all very limiting, very different from what I had imagined for my life.
And then, researching, I found about the Coimbra Protocol. So many doubts, so many fears, so many “nos” that I heard from the neurologists I went, until I saw that I had no alternative but to try, and I tried, my fa...

"I have had Multiple Sclerosis for 21 years, when I discovered the disease, the most famous neurologists in São Paulo told me to use an interferon, I chose not to take the medication and just kept living my life.Nine years later I had another relapse and was hospitalized to take steroids.
From then on I could feel what the disease progression I had heard so much was all about. I began to take interferon and with it came pain, fever, nausea, vomiting, imbalance, weakness and an indescribable fatigue.I made use of it for 4 years and by then, walking 50 meters had become a great adventure for me.

ENGLISH: Post by Lili Bilić, a patient from Croatia diagnosed with Lyme Disease 7 years ago and for the last two years following the Coimbra Protocol.
"Hello everybody, soon it will be 2 years that I'm on the protocol so I'll share with you how, 7 years ago, the right side of my face fell down, and there my problems started. After that I got Lhermite, with a shock going down arms and legs. In all my relapses the tests showed high leukocytes, so the doctors believes that the lesions were being caused by the bark tick, which was later confirmed.
In 2016 I had 4 new cervical lesions of up to 2 cm each and was experiencing progressive deterioration... About all the symptoms I had I could write a novel, so it'll be easier to write...

"The truth is whether or not it is scientifically proven, being a patient with MS since 2001, I used to have many relapses until 2005, when I started the protocol. Since then I've had not one outbreak. to not get worse, to me is a sign of improvement... I haven't had any relapse in 14 years. I have a few permanent damages, like hypoasthesia in both hands and some balance issues (I lost myelin in my cerebellum). But these issues only exacerbate when I go through some stress or face to...

After I started the protocol I had no more relapses, my test results are excellent, normal life! Well, not completely normal because I have a beautiful 18 months old baby that sometimes make me crazy, but neither the badly slept nights nor the physical fatigue allow my ex-partner (MS) to reappear.
I still breast...

"And today was "The Day"! I was discharged!!! (in Brazil, being discharged in the protocol means that the return appointments are less frequent, and many times patients can just do the lab tests with their primary care physicians, etc.)
Much appreciation to Dr. André and to Elaine Galhardo for all the care and competence!!! I went through 17 years of conventional treatment, many symptoms, I was not living, just surviving, until deciding to start the Protocol of Vitamin D and finally comin...
