my husband = against flu/swine flu shots..

This is for my husband who has now turned me on to D3..i have been doing a lot of research and i have read a lot about vitamin D3..everywhere i look people are saying take 5-10,000 IUs of D3 a day..especially in the fall/winter months..and you can lower if you want in spring/summer..AND if you feel like you are catching something (cold, flu..etc) that you can take 50,000 IUs for a few days to help kill the virus..interesting?!?? I would say so..so i will keep reading about it and use my best judgment from there..

will i not get the flu/swine flu shots and just take D3? I have no idea..

am i now taking 5-10,000 IUs of D3 now? yes i am..from what i read, it cant hurt!

Swine Flu and Vitamin D3

Every news outlet in the country is talking about the swine flu, and its threat of a pandemic. While the authorities scramble to identify and contain the threat, the public is wondering what responses they should consider. First off, don’t panic! Panic causes people to say and do really stupid and dangerous things.

Second, consider the contact you and your associates have with individuals who may be at risk, due to their own associate circle and recent travel. If you show flu symptoms, take immediate precautions and see your medical provider right away, with a recent trip/contact diary in-hand.

Third, consider supporting your first and best line medical defense, by feeding your immune system what it needs to work properly, Vitamin D3. A daily dose of 5-10,000 IUs of D3 will boost your body’s production of antimicrobial peptides shown to kill the influenza virus. D3 also helps the immune system avoid cytokine ‘overload’, whereby our immune systems overreacts to a pathogen or antagonist, congesting the lungs. Don’t worry about drug interactions or overdose with D3, as we normally produce up to 30,000 IUs of D3 during a sunbathing hour at the beach.

Lastly, be particularly watchful of children and older adults, or anyone else with weak or weakened immune system. Again, contact a qualified medical professional if you suspect you have the flu. Do not wait!

So do a little research yourself..
