Dr. Mercola: Vitamin D not flu shots - What to take if you get the flu
Posted November 5th, 2009 by Jdayh
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
http://articles.mercola.c...
Ok, well...guess it's my turn to be sick although I think it's
just a cold. Have taken 7000iu of vitamin d and 2000mg of vitamin c...seems to work pretty well. :-)
What are you fightin' for?
Caught in the middle?

Could you even absorb that much?
.
That's $20 worth of vit D per day.
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...
Anyone have any tricks for
Anyone have any tricks for administering D3 to small kids who refuse all supplements? I'm going to see if the powder can be detected in juice, but I'm not hopeful it will work.
Have you tried..........
Yummi Bears?
There a good tasting vitamin hidden in the form of a gummy bear. Works for me......... and the kid too.
I've been comparing notes on this.............
with various websites.
From the sites I've visited, it looks like 4 main things keep coming up.
1) Vit. D3
2) Colloidal or ionic silver
3) Oregano oil
4) Vit. C

D3
I absolutely recommend D3 as a way of building up your immune system. I heard Dr. Mercola's videos on this a few months back and started taking D3 in 4000 to 5000 IU daily. About a month after starting the D3 my kids and wife all got sick. I have type 2 diabetes and usually get everything out there. I DID NOT GET SICK. My wife and daughter both had the H1N1. Let me state this again. My immune system is compromised already and I always get anything my family comes home with. But this time I DID NOT GET SICK!. This is a great way to help your system out. Nearly all people are vitamin D deficient anyway. There are some great websites and products out there. I am not here to sell anything so I am not going to give out links, but do your research. I do suggest either the spray or liquid as it is easier for the body to absorb.

Question for the forum.
My daughters school is being vaccinated today. They are using both shots and nasal spray. I have done my research to a point which has led us to keep her home from school today. We did not sign the permission slip. My concern is, I suspect the majority of her first grade class will be getting the nasal mist. I have read here on the DP that the mist contains the live virus and it will be easier to spread the flu. Can anyone confirm this and provide me a link? If the majority of her class gets the mist, what should the teacher do to sanitize the classroom? Should I send her back tomorrow? I know this teacher will confront me on our decision and I have plenty of knowledge to support it if need be, but my concern right now is making sure our child returns to a safe environment. Anybody. Thanks.
The County Nurse here advised those who had the nasal mist
to stay away from immune compromised individuals for 5 days, because they will be shedding the virus and can spread it! Now, to me this means that ANYONE can catch the H1N1 from those who have received the live virus!
I would suggest the teacher (and you) read the package insert. I have read that they will shed virus up to 7 days, and also up to 21 days! I don't know which number is right---but it is obvious they ARE contagious for awhile.
Show her this video
http://www.youtube.com/wa...
Anyone who sees this will KNOW they don't want this garbage. And, Dr. Null's video testimony states that it is a live virus and they are contagious. One of my students got very sick (flu sick) from taking the vaccine. These kids will be sick.

GOOD FOR YOU.... if only more parents were this proactive..
children would be healthier all over this nation.
well you could (seriously ) get a couple bottles of colloidal silver ..put them in a spray bottle..and spray down the room with a cloth..and colloidal silver spray bottle. may cost you about 20-40.00 for enough colloidal silver ..but it will kill anything!! also you could use a negative ionizer... for the room.. but that may be over kill..
Just make sure it is D3 NOT D2. D2 is synthetic and toxic made
big pharma of course.

thanks for the reminder..
many dont know that ...
Great timing
I have a sore throat and am afraid it's my turn. Darn it.
Zinc lozenges will sometimes stop a sore throat, if you catch it
soon enough. I also use 4-Life Transfer Factor spray, which has Transfer factors and colloidial silver in it. I haven't had a sore throat for years! If you want info on how to order the TF spray, contact me.
I also seem to combat all colds and flu using Transfer Factor capsules, Airborne (which has Zinc and other vitamins and herbs in it) and I also use Xclear nasal wash (a saline solution with xylitol and grapefruit)
I have small grandchildren, so I am exposed to colds etc.all the time.
I also take the TF each time I am out in public as a preventative.
Super food - Fermented cod
Super food - Fermented cod liver oil.
Most brands of cod liver oil go through a process that removes all of the natural vitamins. The resultant product contains very low levels of vitamin A and virtually no vitamin D. Some manufacturers add manufactured vitamins A and D to the purified cod liver oil and until recently, one manufacturer added the natural vitamins removed during processing back into the cod liver oil. Fortunately, we now have available in the U.S. a naturally produced, unheated, fermented high-vitamin cod liver oil that is made using a filtering process that retains the natural vitamins.
The high-vitamin fermented cod liver oil is sold as a food so does not contain vitamin levels on the label. However, after numerous tests, the approximate values of A and D have been ascertained at 1900 IU vitamin A per mL and 390 IU vitamin D per mL. Thus 1 teaspoon of high-vitamin fermented cod liver oil contains 9500 IU vitamin A and 1950 IU vitamin D, a ratio of about 5:1.

So if I weigh 140 I would actually take 140, 1,000 IU capsules? That seems like so much. Obviously its only when you are sick but wow.

nice link!!! check this out......(from the website)
There is growing scientific evidence that suggests 50,000 I.U of Vitamin D3 per day for 3- 5 days and probiotics may be an effective treatment for many viral and bacterial diseases. Therefore, I formulated a synergistic blend of probiotics and vitamin D3 to enhance their effectiveness, potency and absorption.
In a small case study, we treated 14 of our patients who had respiratory symptoms (cough, runny nose etc) , with our Pro-D 50 for 3 days. In every single case their symptoms resolved in 3 days or less.
I have been receiving similar reports from other doctors around the country about the effectiveness of the combination of vitamin D3 and probiotics.

TRUE STORIES OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD WHO HAVE HAD MIRACLE SUCCESS WITH VITAMIN D3
(I will add this to the main thread as well....)
Remember that cod liver oil is the highest food with vitamin D
Most supplemental vitamin d is derived from cod liver oil anyway, so why not take it in it's pure natural state: cod liver oil, raw milk and sunshine.
Cod Liver Oil has Lots of Vitamin A
As well as D. IF you take this much Vitamin D using Cod Liver Oil, the Vitamin A will be Toxic. Dr. Mercola No Longer recommends Cod liver oil.

Would love to know what (if any) supplements Dr. Paul takes...
on a daily basis.
I know he believes in exercise( he's mentioned his love for bike riding), and he gets plenty of it while climbing the steps of the Capitol.
But I'd still like to know what his regimen is, since he does so well at 74.
If any of you have the opportunity to interview him, please ask!
When Dr. Paul is home here in Lake Jackson, Tx.
I see him brisk walking every day several miles. He also rides his bike alot. I'm sure Mrs. Paul makes good, healthy meals and the good doctor watches what he eats. He must know which vitamins to take since he is full of vitality and looks so well.
They don't have to climb the steps
There's an employee entrance or two in the back. haha.
True but, ...the good doctor does anyway.
At least that's what i remember from the campaign, during an interview there was a reference that some of Dr. Paul's staff had trouble keeping up with him as he likes to use the Capitol's steps.
Get your D tested
There is a grassroots effort to do more research on vitamin D.
Without insurance, the cost of getting the bloodwork done is about $200.
This organization has created a low cost method of getting your D levels tested.
Costs $40 (For those of us without health insurance).

concentrated superfood.
I have been using an organic super food for the last six years and have not been sick since. Not once. Not even a cold. Its called green vibrance that has 64 certified organic concentrated foods and extracts that cover nutrient dense, healing and support foods, cell membrane and nerve support, high fiber foods and probiotics, antioxidants and circulatory support, adaptogens, immune support, sea vegetable complex, probiotic blend, enzyme complex, skeletal support, fortifying phyto-minerals and tonics. I swear by it and everybody I turned on to it claims same thing. They have a web page vibranthealth.us. My hair and nails grow much faster as well. All the best.

Do Your Research...
on Colloidal Silver, Flax Oil and Dr Bob Beck Protocol [use hydrogen peroxide instead of ozonised water] ... than decide what's good for you and your family's health... no ills or pandemics worries anymore...
I agree 100%
For maintenance and protection during flu season, here are the recommended dosages of D3...
Adult (and children >100lbs) maintenance ............ 10,000 IU daily.
Children's maintenance: <100lbs........................... 5,000 IU daily.
At the first symptoms of a cold or flu 1,000IU/ lb. daily for 7 days.
Examples:
50 lb ................................................................................... 50,000IU daily.
100 lb daily ....................................................................... 100,000IU daily.
150 lb daily........................................................................ 150,000IU daily.
200 lb daily....................................................................... 200,000 IU daily.
Also Sodium Ascorbate.. you need to check your bowel tolerance, but it is probably anywhere up to 10,000MG of C daily.
When you get sick your bowel tolerance increases... you should take the Sodium Ascorbate every hour until you reach your bowel tolerance, then drop back a bitt and keep your dosage at that level until you are better.

thanks forthat list...
it shows exactly what the video shows..(only in writing...)
medical supervision
A person is wise to self-medicate with Vit D in the ballpark of 1000 IU to 10,000 IU per day. Beyond that, please consult someone who can actually test your blood and analyze it intelligently...i.e., a licensed medical professional.
We don't need libertarians kicking off too early from hypercalcemia.
Vit D is a hormone that increases the amount of calcium in the blood. Too much calcium in the blood can lead to muscular spasms, which is especially harmful when it happens to the diaphragm or the heart.
Please post the test results.
I'm sure his advice has been tested. Hasn't it?

you mean to the survey?
the link at the bottom goes to the whole survey with answers..and source material.. to each answer
Sounds like Vit D OD.
Yes Vit D is certanly good. But that much?
here is an article that goes into depth on that.....
There is much confusion about vitamin D and vitamin D toxicity. I encourage you to take the quiz and even pass it along to your doctor, as very few U.S. physicians are aware of vitamin D's importance.
Winter is the time of year when most of us in the United States need to be very diligent about keeping our vitamin D levels within optimal levels. I recommend that most take a high-quality cod liver oil, which is an excellent source of vitamin D, regularly from fall until early spring. However, it is essential to understand that in order to know how much vitamin D you should be taking, you should get your blood level checked. If you use beneficial products like cod liver oil without doing blood tests for vitamin D levels, you should keep the dose at one to two teaspoons per day to prevent overdosing.
This is a major point: excess vitamin D will cause, not prevent, osteoporosis and hardening of your arteries. Please be very careful with cod liver oil. If you are unable to obtain vitamin D testing, then please do not exceed one to two teaspoons of cod liver oil. So please do yourself a favor--read the article on vitamin D testing and be sure to have your level measured. As I mentioned above, nearly all physicians are not aware how to have this checked and how to interpret the normal reference ranges, so I encourage you to print out the article on vitamin D testing not only for your own records but also for your doctor so he or she can become aware of this vitally important nutrient.
The Vitamin D Council, the non-profit group that contributed the excellent quiz below, is another great resource for vitamin D information. The Vitamin D Council is a group of citizens concerned about vitamin D deficiency and the diseases associated with that deficiency. I encourage you to check out their website and sign up for their informative newsletter. Their goal is an important one: to draw attention to the problem of vitamin D deficiency through the education of professionals, the media, government officials and average citizens.

1. If an otherwise healthy adult tried to kill himself by taking an entire bottle (250 capsules) of 1,000 iu cholecalciferol, which of the following would happen?
a) The person would die within 24 hours from severe hypercalcemia and widespread calcinosis.
b) If the person received intensive treatment for hypercalcemia he may survive.
c) Hypercalcemia would be severe but require only supportive treatment.
d) Such doses are called "Stoss" therapy and are occasionally used therapeutically although they do not replicate normal physiology. As most Americans are vitamin D deficient, such a one-time dose would probably be a health benefit for the majority of Americans.
The correct answer is d. One of the most recent examples is the use of stoss therapy to reduce fracture rates in the elderly (100,000 IU of oral cholecalciferol every four months for five years) by Dr. Trivedi and colleagues (University of Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine) published in the British Medical Journal. How high do you think average 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were in the subjects after they received 100,000 IU of cholecalciferol every four months for five years? Answer: about 29 ng/ml, still mildly deficient
