Vitamin D3, the Flu and Swine Flu

January 30, 2010

By: Pamela Egan

Research shows you can drastically reduce your risk of Seasonal Flu and Swine Flu With Vitamin D3.

There has been a fear of a pandemic flu outbreak for the past several years. My own parish received 20,000 body bags last year in preparation for the flu pandemic. Research presented by John Cannell, MD of the Vitamin D Council showed that Vitamin D3 is protective against seasonal flu. Further research performed by Norris Glick, MD and Ellie Campbell, DO, showed that Vitamin D3 helps prevent H1N1 Flu. Further, Dr. John Cannell showed that Vitamin D3 deficiency activates the influenza virus (the Flu).

Currently, the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance for Vitamin D3 is 400 iu/day. This dose was recommended to prevent rickets, which works well, but does nothing to give the far more important protection from cancer, heart disease and infections. Approximately 70% children in the US and 75% teens and adults have a Vitamin D3 deficiency. We now have overwhelming evidence that therapeutic levels of this miracle vitamin, not only boost our immune system, but protects us from cancer, including breast cancer and even H1N1 Swine Flu. Blood levels of D3 (OH-25) should be at least above 50, optimally 80. Most children and adults can be maintained on vitamin D3 5000iu – 10,000iu/day. At the first sign of flu or respiratory illness, take 50,000iu D3/day x 5 days.
