Hiya. Check out garynull.com for ideas on treating mom’s dementia. Also huperzine A is excellent for stopping alzheimer disease.

Carlsons Lemon flavored Cod Liver Oil.....Lots of Vit D AND DHA, which is really good for you, too.

I had a similar experience. I had been sick for about six months of and on.

So... I started taking the vitamins again and have not had a sick day in ten years. Yes.. there have been instances in which I have been sick, but they are relatively rare.

400 IUs at least every day. I also take care to get some sunlight as I work in a windowless office. Exercise and red wine when possible.

The 1918 pandemic had a CFR of 12%.The H5N1 current CFR is around 80% with an expected attenuation to 64% after a pandemic year. If this jumps at the current CFR the clock will be turned back several centuries.

I wasn't familiar with the term CFR, so I looked it up. So I found that "extremely lethal = CFR > 60%". But then if the 1918 pandemic had a CFR of 12%, why was it so lethal, and is CFR really a valid predictor of a pandemic?

With this news tanning beds will become a tax deduction.

No, they will be considered medical equipment ans you will need a prescription to use them.

Its a nice theory, but like the Epstein Barr virus will be identified as the cause in our lifetime.

It will become MS when it crosses the blood brain barrier.

Not proven yet, but its looking good.

I am a Caucasian woman with lupus. At diagnosis I was warned against sun exposure. I have recently been told I have a severe vitamin D deficiency so have been put on a mega dose for 3 months. I wonder if it will offer any protection against the flu? I see the doctor tomorrow and will take this with me and ask.
