Seriously I nearly died from this H1N1 years ago. It’s when I started taking vitamin D3 religiously. Double pneumonia in three days???? Never was that sick ever, before or since. Major antibiotics saved my life.
If that strain is coming back, or a new variant of it, may I suggest to my FReeper friends who weigh 120 or more, take 5000 IU daily of D3 as soon as you are no longer bathed in the summer sun. September, whenever. At the very least you will get a lesser case of it. At best, your friends and coworkers might get it and you, exposed, won’t.
Interesting.
Yes...what you day...our doc says keep your Vit D3 Levels around 70-80...I also quit shaking hands...I’ll bump elbows, give a hug, but not shake hands...kept me well for 5 years
I have been taking 10k units daily for about 12 years. Wife 5k and three kids 5k in that time and among us there have been 0- that’s no, zero, virus or colds. Wife and I both started when we were very sick with, not H1N1 but one that was laying low much of the town for 2 to 4 weeks. We started with the formula of 900 units per pound of body weight in one dose. Both of us were quite free of it and feeling good 8-10 hours later. I make sure the widows at church have a three month supply of D3 @ 5000day every fall. They stay healthy through the winter.
We will check into this! Have not heard of this before.
