<p>Today, we’re going to take a look at the underlying cause of autoimmune disease. Your immune system has two parts: the innate immune system that you’re born with and the acquired immune system that’s created through a series of infections. Over time, the acquired immune system becomes stronger and offers protection against infection. </p> <p><br></p> <p>The innate immune system is not the problem when it comes to autoimmune diseases. Autoimmune disorders typically involve problems with the T-regulatory cells or T-cells. Also called suppressor T-cells, these cells are the peacemakers of the immune system and stop the immune reaction when the job is done.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Prednisone, the synthetic version of cortisol, is commonly used as a treatment for autoimmune diseases. Both prednisone and vitamin D have reduce inflammation, but Vitamin D empowers and enhances the immune system. Prednisone suppresses the innate and the acquired immune systems. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Vitamin D shifts the immune system to increase the T-cells. Inflammatory TH1 and TH17 cells are usually too high when someone has an autoimmune disease. Vitamin D suppresses both of these cells, reducing inflammation.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Prednisone raises your blood glucose levels while vitamin D does not. Vitamin D enhances the cells that makes insulin and helps to regulate your blood sugars. Prednisone can break down your bone, leading to osteoporosis. Vitamin D helps you absorb calcium and supports bone remineralization.</p> <p><br></p> <p>The thymus gland makes T-cells. As we age, the thymus gland deteriorates and our immune systems decline. Vitamin D slows down this process, but you need larger, therapeutic doses. Vitamin D does not work without the cofactors magnesium, vitamin K2, and zinc.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Dr. Coimbra of Brazil created a protocol that involves increasing vitamin D to penetrate any resistance. This lowers the parathyroid hormone which means that vitamin D levels have significantly increased. </p> <p><br></p> <p>DATA: </p> <p><a href="https://www.coimbraprotocol.com/general-information" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.coimbraprotocol.com/gener... </a></p> <p><a href="https://ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S0002-9165(23)29087-5/fulltext" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S0... </a></p> <p><a href="http://www.vitamindprotocol.com/vitamin-d-toxicity.html" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">http://www.vitamindprotocol.com/vitam... </a></p>
