  Vitamin D deficiency is strongly associated with the development of RA.
  From my perspective, it is now virtually criminal negligent malpractice to treat a person with RA and not aggressively monitor their vitamin D levels to confirm that they are in a therapeutic range of 50-70 ng/ml.

  Hi everybody I am a french patient (who lives in Italy) with my daughter (12 years old) of the doctor Giordo, for our arthritis, we follow the Coimbra protocol since September 2017, and we already noticed great results!

  My daughter from 4 months does not need anymore to take methotrexate for the first time!!! She took it since she was 4 years old...and each time doctors said us to remove it after 2 months her arthritis came back with pain and inflammation...

  I wrote to Cicero Coimbra to thank him and I told him I want to share my testimony to the french people who don't know his protocol!! and he kindly answered me the day after, glad I want to share his protocol in my country (I don't know why there is no french doctors who follow the coimbra protocol and no french group FB so I thought to create the first FB GROUP for french people in a FRENCH LANGUAGE!) >> "Protocole du Dr.Cicero G.Coimbra (vit D hautes doses) France" (if you want the link I can send you on messenger! Write me here or send me a PM)

  I hope there are FRENCH PEOPLE in this group who are reading me, maybe they want to sign up in the french group where I am the administrator and bring us their testimonies in french language, it would be fantastic!

  I NEED THE TESTIMONIES TO FRENCH PEOPLE IN THE WORLD AND IN FRANCE!
