When Ricardo Garcia was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, he followed his doctor’s advice and started medication until the side effects became worse than the disease. A relapse pushed him to search for answers, and discovering Dr. Cicero Coimbra’s high-dose vitamin D protocol changed the course of his life.
In this episode of The Hope & Health Podcast, Mathew Embry talks with Ricardo about dosing as high as 130,000 IU, the science behind the protocol, and how discipline and belief helped him stay relapse-free for more than a decade.
Before becoming a source of hope for thousands of people living with MS, David Lyons was told he would likely end up in a wheelchair. He lost mobility, struggled with worsening symptoms, and faced moments that would have broken many people.

In this episode of the Hope & Health Podcast, David opens up about misdiagnosis, mindset, faith, and movement. Watch the full episode below. ⬇️
