ANECDOTE

Dr. Sarah's MS Journey

Dr. Sarah struggled with severe MS symptoms like difficulty walking and numbness for over a decade before switching to the carnivore diet and vitamin D therapy.
After starting these treatments, her neurological symptoms gradually improved and then completely dropped off.

INSIGHT

Vitamin D Recalibrates Immunity

High-dose vitamin D therapy can correct an immune system defect caused by vitamin D receptor polymorphisms in autoimmune diseases.
This therapy helps recalibrate the immune system, stopping it from attacking the body's own tissues in conditions like MS.

ADVICE

Vitamin D Dosing Guidance

Track parathyroid hormone levels to determine the correct vitamin D dose rather than relying on vitamin D blood levels.
Maintain low dietary calcium intake to avoid hypercalcemia during high-dose vitamin D treatment for autoimmune conditions.
