How long does Vit D stay in your body? I'm thinking many are having colds and allergies but jumping to the conclusion it's H1N1. Many here are having sinus and allergy problems due to the wet weather. The weather is still nice in most of the country allowing kids to play outside. School fall sports are in full swing so they're outside. I was just thinking today that when football and such ends in a couple weeks, we'll be seeing more cases. I know that our schools have put the foaming soap (more fun, more will use) in the restrooms and every classroom has Germ-X which kids are using. However, a couple weeks ago, there were 7-9 absences in each class period. Now, it's back down to the normal 1-2 absences.
I’ve read that the ONLY strain of flu currently occurring in the USA is the H1N1 strain; e.g., there is no Influenza-A at present, nor any other strain of flu.
This flu is recently associated with rapid onset severe aching muscles, horrid cough & sore throat and a temperature spike. People who have those symptoms are told that they have H1N1, because there is no other flu currently around.
Last summer, they were even closing down summer camps for kids, due to outbreaks of H1N1 - and surely a child attending summer camp has maximal daily dosages of natural sunlight Vitamin D.
It would be interesting, though, to find out what is the incidence of the H1N1 among people who have supplemented with Vit. D-3 for years & years.
And perhaps those same individuals, saturated with Vitamin D3 are the same ones who are reported such minor symptoms associated with their H1N1 infections.

Interesting and I am so glad it is working.
Welcome to the thread, good to see you posting here, I like to see different names return and join in.
Vitamin D is a fat soluable vitamin, and so just like Vitamin A, it can build up in your body, in your fat tissues, and in your liver -- presumably to toxic levels, if you supplement too much for too long.
