The Coimbra Protocol offers enormous therapeutic potential in autoimmune diseases and, in our experience, can stop almost all autoimmune processes. In many cases a partial reduction of symptoms is also possible, especially in younger patients and with relatively recent symptoms that appeared in the 1–2 years before the start of therapy.
In the case of complex multiple conditions or long-standing, extensive damage to the body, it can be helpful to use complementary therapy methods. We have tried much of this ourselves and/or had it recommended to us by other patients. For this reason, we would also like to provide information in future about further complementary therapies.
According to Dr Coimbra, persistent psychological stress and the permanent release of stress hormones are one of the main reasons for ongoing inflammatory activity or a suboptimal effect of the Coimbra Protocol. We were all able to experience in our own bodies and lives how much learning relaxation methods and changing negative beliefs improved our health and quality of life. Each of us is trained in guiding various mindfulness-based relaxation methods and/or psychotherapy methods. We would be glad to accompany you too on the path to inner healing.
Fasting-mimicking and exogenous ketones combine two modern, scientifically researched strategies to support metabolism, mitochondria and the nervous system. A holistic concept for people with neurological questions that places current findings from metabolic research at its centre. Suitable for everyday life and with guidance.

At Dr Coimbra’s suggestion, some doctors have, since 2018, begun to tailor therapy with the Coimbra Protocol even more individually on the basis of genetic tests / analyses of single nucleotide polymorphisms (“small typos in the genes”). Detailed nutritional counselling based on your personal genetic situation is also possible.
Christina Kiening has been trained since 2019 to analyse the results of the MTHFR Genetics UK laboratory and to produce a written summary of further recommendations for action. The test can be ordered directly from the laboratory online, costs approximately €190 and is very easily carried out at home by means of a saliva sample. After registering the sample, it is sent back to the laboratory; approximately 8 weeks later you receive an extensive Excel list with the results. You can send this to Christina Kiening at kiening-praxis@email.de for analysis. You then receive a 4–5 page summary of the most important results and recommendations for action (one-off cost €350).
Non-invasive neuromodulation is a pain-free method of influencing the activity of nerve cells in the brain or body and of stimulating regeneration. The most important procedures are transcranial pulse stimulation (TPS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS). Many doctors now combine the methods of neuromodulation with the Coimbra Protocol. While the Coimbra Protocol serves as the foundation for stopping autoimmune processes, neuromodulation can also contribute to neuroplasticity in long-standing degenerative processes.
From autumn 2026 we will add a list of trained neuromodulation specialists in the German-speaking region at this point. Initial information consultations and help with the individual planning of neuromodulation training can be booked online with Christina Kiening. She is herself a trained neuromodulation expert and a Fellow in the SOZO Braincenter network.
Hormonal fluctuations, especially a deficiency of progesterone, can fuel autoimmune processes and inflammation in the body. The Rimkus therapy is a special form of hormone treatment for women and men in the menopause and perimenopause. It uses bioidentical (nature-identical) hormones in minimal doses — usually oestradiol and progesterone — dissolved in oil and enclosed in capsules. The dose is adjusted individually by means of a blood test in order to bring the hormone balance into equilibrium.
By now, some protocol doctors additionally work with the Rimkus therapy. Leading in this combination is the practice of Dr Beatrix Schweiger, who additionally trains all her doctors in the Rimkus therapy. Further doctors who combine CP and Rimkus will be listed here from autumn 2026 on request.
The parasite treatment according to Dr Simon Yu is an integrative approach to medicine that traces chronic diseases back to hidden parasites, fungi and dental foci. Diagnosis is often carried out via acupuncture meridian assessment (AMA), followed by targeted antiparasitics.
Some protocol doctors combine parasite therapy and holistic dental health, especially when the Coimbra Protocol does not show the usual successes even after more than 12–24 months. However, we distance ourselves from the statement that all autoimmune diseases can be traced back to parasites. We also strongly advise carrying out valid diagnostics by means of blood and stool samples before any possible therapy, before starting to take antibiotics and antiparasitic agents. The therapy often represents a major challenge for the body and should not be started lightly without prior investigation.
On this topic too, we will list appropriately trained doctors from autumn 2026. Further information on the subject of parasites and dental foci can be found in this video: https://youtu.be/YnyK6FiA2TM?si=uqMkMa0pWWpVxrzd
