Sea Moss for Neurosarcoidosis: Anti-Inflammatory, IL-12/Th1/Granulomatous CNS/PNS Inflammation & Mineral Support

Neurosarcoidosis (~5-15% of systemic sarcoidosis patients) is granulomatous inflammation of the CNS and peripheral nervous system driven by CD4+ Th1 T-cell/macrophage IL-12/IFN-gamma/TNF-alpha granuloma formation, NF-kB/IL-6/IL-18 inflammatory cascade, complement C3/C4 perivascular deposition, VCAM-1/ICAM-1 upregulation causing cranial neuropathies (facial nerve CN VII most common, CN II optic nerve, hypothalamic-pituitary axis), leptomeningeal enhancement, spinal cord lesions, hydrocephalus, and peripheral neuropathy; elevated ACE and elevated CSF protein with lymphocytic pleocytosis; diagnosis by gadolinium-enhanced MRI + tissue biopsy showing non-caseating granulomas. Sea moss fucoidan modulates NF-kB, Th1/IL-12, complement C3/C4, and VCAM-1 granulomatous cascades; selenium supports CNS/PNS GPx1/GPx4; omega-3 DHA supports myelin membrane integrity and resolvin D1 neuroinflammation resolution; zinc supports FOXP3+ Treg and nerve metalloenzyme repair. Oral prednisone first-line; MTX/AZA/MMF for steroid-sparing; infliximab (TNF inhibitor) for refractory CNS involvement.
