I started thinking about the strange incidence of this H1N1 flu bug about a month ago when I came across some stories about how a pig or a few pigs are said to have caught the Swine Flu from humans at a state fair.

The humans were teenagers who belonged to 4-H, and it seemed to me strange that active 4-H’ers who are raising animals for a state fair would not have more than enough Vitamin D coursing through their systems in late AUGUST when the alleged transmission occurred.

I thought maybe YOU might have already discussed this months ago — I occasionally lurk for weeks at a time on your threads, so I know you are interested in enigmas of this nature.

Also, I’m not certain that classical medicine has ever clinically proved that Vitamin D increases resistance to influenza — perhaps there just seems to be a connection, but it’s not been scientifically proven one way or the other.

You are correct.

About the only vitamin D info on this thread, has been that it will keep the flu away.

There are many flu deaths, for I get news alerts from Denver, San Diego and Las Vegas, they show the deaths one at a time and schools that are shut down, due to hundreds of kids sick with the flu.
