Well, the scare machine was in full gear in 2009. The H1N1 flu virus was a killer pandemic strain that was going to decimate the earth's population in short order. The pharmaceutical companies couldn't make their injectable potions fast enough. It was a real crisis. NOT.
Latest research in the Journal of the American Medical Association states that the swine flu virus actually had a lower risk of serious symptoms compared to the seasonal flu. And yes, that includes children.
Halfway around the world, at the Jikei University School of Medicine in Tokyo, research on Vitamin D supplementation and the flu was carried out on school children. This was a double blind, placebo controlled study. Children given Vitamin D supplements during the height of the 2009 flu season had a 42% less risk for coming down with the flu than those that did not.
Back at home the CDC is now recommending that everyone above the age of 6 get the new flu shot which combines the H1N1 and a couple of other strains of flu. Keep in mind that the effectiveness of the flu shot on a good year is about 30%. According to the research, Vitamin D supplements reduces the risk of flu by 42%. Why isn't the CDC recommending Vitamin D? You would have to ask them.
Keep this in mind. Vitamin D supplements [D3] are important. It's a real immune booster. But your body makes its own Vitamin D when you go outside and don't slather your skin with sun block. So why not do both? Turn off the TV, game consoles and computers and send the kids outside to play. What a concept! And while they're discovering the outside world, get a little sun yourself!
