Vitamin D not flu shots--- By Dr. Mercola
Within this video is a safe natural and simple solution for anyone who gets the flu or swine flu.
Please watch the video. Here is the precise formula discussed in the video...
Take 2000 iu of oral vitamin D per kg of body weight (or about 1000 iu per lb of body weight) This is taken as one large dose every day for 3 days. This should abort the illness
For those of you who think this is too much vitamin D....
please see this link for info on how much you can take/handle

Grape Seed Extract
50x stronger than vitamin E and 20x stronger than vitamin C. It will kick just about any infection. Something else to look into.
I love Mercola!
Vitamin D essential
for good health! Absolutely imperative to take it during the winter. At least 5000 IU!

if you live north of 42 degrees
you should take at the very minimum 5000 IU per day but better to take 20,000 IU ! (in the summer most people get 100,000-500,000 a day in the sun)
The body does not get any from the sun north of the 42 degree parallel (except for a few hours a day in the summer)
The amount of exposure also depends on the time of the year. In the northern hemisphere, the UVB is more intense during the summer months and less intense during the winter months. In fact, if you live north of the 42-degrees latitude, you will have a difficult time getting enough vitamin D from the sun from November through February. If you live north of a line drawn on a map from the northern border of California to Boston, Massachusetts, you will probably need additional vitamin D.

Just bloody move south then
RP did it then it must be a good idea - who wants shovel snow anyway?
The chances of MS also increase the farther you are from the the equator along with decreased sperm counts.
Northern countries are good for about 6 months of the year. The rest of time they serve no purpose but waste resources and drain their health care systems, they should be shutdown for these other months. ie. sleep, drink and be merry.

but temperate zones forced humans to plan long term
If it was always tropically hot to grow tasty fruits year-round, who'd bother planning?
To illustrate differently, the old southern Sicilian dialect (where it's warmer) doesn't even have a future tense, whereas the the modern, prevailing, standard Italian does. I know the Tropic of Cancer doesn't touch Italy, but very generally, societies closer to the equator tend to be less future-oriented.

Remedy
Take some garlic and vodka with OJ and some soup ...should be fine in a day or so.

as flu season is upon many people.....
thought this thread was timely for those who have not seen it.
BTW-- this does work... 100,000 IU of vit. D3 each day for 3 days at the first sign of the flu!!
Don't forget about oil of
Don't forget about oil of oregano
Vitamin D3, Fish Oil, and.
a grain and sugar- FREE, primal/paleo-style diet (We do Primal Blueprint) will keep the immune system and brain in great shape. www.marksdailyapple.com and www.perfecthealthdiet.com have a lot of great tips. We've been on Vitamin D3 and doing a grain/sugar-free diet for a couple of years and haven't been sick once.

When the sun shines I don't feel like taking extra vit D
When I can't get enough sun I start craving vit D. Listen to your body.
Vitamin D is used by every cell in the body. It is so important that over time it lightens the skin and favors baldness in family lines.
Dr. Paul also recommend children go outside and play.
Thanks for posting
Here are some more audios and text research: http://www.grc.com/health/vitamin-d.htm
Free includes debt-free!
You're right about that Paul.
We make about 100,000 units of D in about 15 minutes of sun exposure. No supplements needed on sunny days while outside is true.
Now I know what the nudist are all about.
LOL. People listen politely when I say full body tan in January in Michigan. I wonder if it ever dawns on them.
Free includes debt-free!
Anyone ever get sleepy taking say 10,000 or more IU 's of Vit D?
If so, apparently it is from a magnesium or iron deficiency , if you do get sleepy, just take it in the evening before bed. It will eventually not make you sleepy over time....
My experience
After taking 4000 iu of D3 every day last winter, I had no cold or flu for the first time as long as I can remember, maybe ever. My wife and kids did 4000, 2000, 1000 based on weight. They weren't sick until Feb or March when they quit taking the D before the sunshine season. They all got the same nasty cold that passed me by.
has anyone here read Dr. mark stengler
the most thoroughly knowledgable naturopathic doctor!

the books are sooo important. good luck, god bless
"ron paul is not running....ron paul is not running" -bloomberg 'expert' morning after the bloodbath, i mean, debate!
there is no evidence that is ..
confirming that 5000 iu will prevent flu..where is this proven ..vit d is good but some of the claims need a serious look..
They are studying this now. See post below....
from WSJ.
Ive been on D
for years.. I believe it has to be one of the most effective supplements in not only destroying sickness and disease, but preventing a wide range of illnesses from even effecting you..
Over the past few years, i have noticed in a obvious fashion that i would either not catch a cold that a family member of co worker had, or catch it and have it out of my system within 2 days..
Maybe it doenst work for everyone, but between that, some minerals, and oregano oil, i (someone who at one time was prone to sickness numerous times a year) i havent been truely sick in years..

There is a lot of undiagnosed VitD deficiency out there,...
especially in colder climates. 15 minutes in the sun will produce about 100,000 units naturally without using any supplements.
Thanks for your post.
WSJ: Can Vitamin D Replace Flu Shots?
By LAURA JOHANNES
DECEMBER 7, 2010
Vitamin D, long known for its beneficial effect on bones, is increasingly being studied to see if it helps prevent colds and flus. Based on early research results, some doctors are recommending high doses to help stave off the upper respiratory infections, with some even speculating it could be a substitute to the annual flu shot. But while it's well established that vitamin D boosts the immune system, many scientists say so far there's insufficient evidence that taking it will help keep a cold or flu away.
Until recently, scientists have blamed the higher prevalence of flu cases during winter to the tendency of humans to congregate inside or the low humidity of cold weather, which makes viruses survive in the air longer. Increasingly, scientists are exploring another possible explanation: During the wintertime, we are outside less, resulting in lower vitamin D absorption from the sun.

Could you even absorb that much?
.
That's $20 worth of vit D per day.
Defend Liberty!
well the body absorbs what it can...
and the rest passes through you
So a person weighing 150
So a person weighing 150 pounds would literally take 150, 1000 IU, tablets? If they were sick of course.
yes all at once... for 3 days in a row
then stop..
it would be like a concentrated burst of sunshine...
