Cheers!
Thanks for the ping. I already thanked Born Conservative. IMHO, redundant pings don't hurt unless someone is prone to getting wrapped around the axle. That's a personal problem, IMHO. I often regret finding pings that I unknowingly missed.
I find this hypothesis of relative vitamin D deficiency and seasonal disease quite provocative.
Despite the thread having been downgraded to chat, I wanted to find a decent review article on antimicrobial peptides. They were not mentioned when I went to school.
Epithelial antimicrobial peptides in host defense against infection
Welcome to Microbiology and Immunology On-line appears to be updated on a regular basis. I use it for a reference.
Those articles are dry, I like the chat better. :)
They are hereby thrown onto my ever-burgeoning reading pile.
Full Disclosure: I went out and bought some vitamin D supplements today, began taking them. Not too much chance for direct sunlight on bare skin in Minnesota this time of year.
Cheers!
Even in the PNW we go out and sun bathe in the Vitamen D.
Will heal all the intrusive medical care.
Regardless a very value able ping.
Don’t cover wounds sit in the sun/which leaves me to wonder how close to daily outings and sunshine did his ward have?
I don’t think giving his patients unless they were under fed doses of D by mouth helped...I think his ward had more sunlight time.
All it takes is about a few 10 min intervals to get D.
Hooey on all the tan salons.
We sit out at 68 degrees and soak up sun. Remember we live in a rain forrest on the coast not in Baja/Fuji ect...
