I just read the page, interesting. Problem is, does this boost the immune system? From what I’ve read the reason that flus similar to this swine flu kill more young people and healthy people is that they impact people with a healthy immune response more than a less efficient immune response. They kill by causing a cytokine storm...which is an overstimulation of the immune system. So I’d be interested to know if this is an immune booster. I’ll have to do more research on it.

I don’t know but you may be right.

One thing I HAVE been able to confirm is that Vitamin D WILL play a role in keeping the flu at bay.

I gotta see if I can dig that one up. Organization isn’t my strong suit.

:(
