The holistic approach to treating sarcoid is based on restoring the balance of your body’s energetic and chemical imbalances at several different levels.
All approaches are based on natural substances and consider your body as a whole and not parts of diseased or healthy organs.
Use of melatonin in the holistic treatment of sarcoidosis
Melatonin is a hormone that is naturally produced in our body and mainly aims to regulate sleep. A study conducted in Italy on its use reported a significant improvement in almost all patients after the 2 years of the study.
What role does melatonin play in the holistic treatment of sarcoid?
As far as research shows, melatonin helps a sarcoid sufferer’s body on several levels:
- It scavenges the free radicals
- Inhibits cytokine production, thereby reducing inflammation
- regulates hormone production by regulating the sleep mechanism
Controversy over the safety of melatonin in autoimmune diseases
This controversy stems from the fact that melatonin naturally boosts the immune system. Much research is underway to investigate whether it is completely safe to use melatonin for autoimmune diseases.
Dietary guidelines in the holistic treatment of sarcoidosis
Sarcoidosis and Vitamin D
The most important dietary guideline to incorporate into any holistic sarcoidosis treatment protocol is the avoidance of vitamin D, as sarcoidosis patients often develop hypersensitivity to this vitamin. When developing a holistic approach to treating sarcoidosis, it is important to know if you are hypersensitive to vitamin D.
What are symptoms of vitamin D hypersensitivity?
If you are hypersensitive to vitamin D, you may experience some or all of these symptoms: nausea, thirst, declining general condition, kidney failure, and kidney stones.
Special cleansing diets for the holistic treatment of sarcoidosis
Cleansing diets are part of the holistic approach to sarcoid treatment. This includes various forms of detoxification and purification of the body. Herbal remedies are also included. The most common herbs used in the holistic treatment of sarcoid are:
- Echinacea
- aloe vera
- ginseng
The possible side effects are still being discussed, as these herbs also have an immune-boosting effect.
Breakthrough in sarcoid research
The problem with sarcoidosis is modern medicine’s lack of knowledge about the causes of the disease. But recently some exciting news has been reported about the discoveries of the underlying chemical imbalance and the causes. A new one based on that new treatment protocol comes with an amazing reported success rate.
