In a Nutshell
The liver—not the pancreas—drives most blood-sugar issues, so cutting carbs reverses fatty liver quickly and improves insulin resistance. High-dose vitamin D3 (often 50–100 k IU/day) plus magnesium, K2, and zinc is the most potent tool for MS, endometriosis, mood disorders, and surgical recovery when monitored with PTH and calcium levels. Ketones are the brain’s preferred fuel; pairing intermittent or one-meal-a-day fasting with nutrient-dense animal foods (sardines, organ meats) and daily walking lowers cortisol, repairs the gut, and eliminates cravings within weeks.

An overactive nervous system or highly sensitive nerves can be addressed with natural B1 thiamine. B1 helps with everything related to the nervous system, including sensitivity to intense lights or sounds. B1 works in combination with magnesium, so both may be needed.
The body is designed to run off cortisol and adrenaline through movement. Increase walking throughout the day to drain off cortisol, especially walking in nature. This combination of more walking and getting more sleep helps reduce stress hormones.
When taking higher therapeutic dosages of vitamin D, consult one of the four doctors in the US trained on the Coimbra protocol. They monitor calcium in blood and parathyroid hormone. The goal is getting actual vitamin D into cells, which cannot be determined from blood levels alone. Cofactors include K2, zinc, and especially magnesium.
Check parathyroid hormone - it should be low normal. If taking a lot of vitamin D and parathyroid hormone is high, it means not taking enough vitamin D. The parathyroid mobilizes calcium from bone when vitamin D is insufficient. If blood calcium test is normal, there is no problem with vitamin D levels.
People with MS may take 100,000 IUs of vitamin D3 daily under monitoring with no symptoms.
