Jan 23, 2012 (CIDRAP News) – A 39-year-old man from southwestern China died yesterday from H5N1 avian influenza, the country’s second death in less than a month from the disease, according to Xinhua, China’s state news agency.

Since 2003 China has reported 41 cases of H5N1 infection which have resulted in 29 deaths. The last two fatalities, as far as has been ascertained thus far, had no exposure with any poultry of any kind.

In related news, the WHO recently confirmed Vietnam’s latest H5N1 death, in an 18-year-old man from Kien Giang province who died on Jan 16, according to a Jan 20 statement. The man had been exposed to ducks. The Pasteur Institute and local health officials are conducting an outbreak investigation, the WHO said.

The man’s death from the disease pushes Vietnam’s H5N1 toll since 2003 to 120 illnesses, 60 of them fatal.

So far this year the WHO has confirmed 8 H5N1 infections and 5 deaths, spanning five different countries. Four of the cases and 3 of the deaths are counted in the 2012 total; the rest are included in the total for 2011.

Interesting enough, and contradictory to my research, the WHO claims to have a candidate vaccine to deal with this growing concern to public health. (A/Hubei/1/2010, a clade 2.3.2.1 virus).

The WHO is reporting some 582 cases (world wide) since 2003 with 343 cases which resulted in death.  As stated in my first article about H5N1 (written about a month ago) the mortality rate for this strain of influenza is much higher than H1N1 and could become a more serious health issue than we ever dreamed H1N1 could ever be!

The bottom line here friends is we are again going to have to make a choice to “take the shot or not”.  This time however the stakes have been raised.  The risk of sucomming to this strain of virus is much greater than with H1N1.

As always, while we wait to see what develops we strongly advise our customers and clients to keep that immune system healthy and operating at optimal levels.

As I’m sure you already know, pregnancy puts extra stress on your heart and lungs. Pregnancy can also affect your immune system. These factors increase the risk not only of getting the flu but of developing serious complications of the flu, such as pneumonia and respiratory distress. In turn, flu complications increase the risk of premature labor, preterm birth and other pregnancy complications.

Pregnant women, even those in perfect health, can become very ill if they get the flu.

For example, one large study examined the effect of the flu on pregnant women over the course of 17 flu seasons. The study found that pregnant women in the third trimester were just as likely to be hospitalized for heart or lung problems as were women with serious, chronic medical conditions who were not pregnant.

The risk increased the farther along the women were in their pregnancies. Healthy women at 37 to 42 weeks were almost five times as likely to be admitted to the hospital during the flu season for heart or lung problems as women who were one to six months postpartum. Another study showed that pregnant women with asthma were at extra high risk for hospitalization during the flu season. The pandemic H1N1 flu virus of 2009 proved to be particularly harmful to pregnant women, and it is still circulating.

The flu shot and pregnancy; to take the flu shot or not?

Over the past few flu seasons there has been increased concern over pregnancy and the flu shot.  This concern is based primarily on the question of the safety of the mercury contain preservatives used in the vaccines and it’s connection with a drastic increase of the autism rate over the past few decades. There is even some question as to the safety and effectiveness of vaccines in general.

There are many who believe that the shot is both safe and effective and others who believe it is at the very least ineffective if not outright dangerous. Each side can produce evidence to support their claim. Where does that leave the pregnant woman and the life growing within her?

It leaves them seeking alternatives in dealing with the shot flu and pregnancy  issue!

One such alternative is a substance called fucoidan. Fucoidan is found in brown seaweed and is one of the most researched natural substances on the planet. With over 30 years of research and over 900 clinical studies (listed at pubmed.com) behind it, fucoidan has been proven to be effective against the flu (especially against H1N1) as well as cancer and a plethora of other maladies.

We at Health Products Guru strongly recommend that concerned mothers to be, weather they decide to take the shot or not, take the proper steps to build up their immune systems now, before the flu season comes into full swing.  Our fucoidan products; ZRadical & FucoidZ contain the award winning natural, organic Maritech® fucoidan extract 926 which has proven to be effective against H1N1 and will boost your immune system.

It seems that in terms of preventive medicine, over the last few decades, there is a paradigm shift taking place within the conventional medical community. There are more and more vaccines being developed and entering the market place than ever before.

The question; is this a good thing or not?

I suppose the answer lies within our individual perceptions.

The whole idea behind vaccinations, as a therapy, is that when an antigen is introduced into the body it triggers an immune response which is then stored within our immune system’s memory banks (for lack of a better term) to prepare the body for a possible attack at a later time.

The question here is; do vaccinations actually achieve the intended results?

A study in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) provides data on deaths from infectious diseases over the last century. When this data is juxtaposed (place or deal with close together for contrasting effect) with the introduction of vaccination programs for a variety of diseases, we see that most vaccines have had little to no effect, and some may even be harmful.

-

Results of the JAMA Study

With the exception of 1918, when the influenza epidemic struck, the rate of deaths from infectious diseases shows a fairly smooth rate of decrease from 1900 through 1980, at which point a slight rate of increase develops.

Figure 1. Crude Infectious Disease Mortality Rate in the United States from 1900 Through 1996 (Graph from JAMA)

-

Deaths graphed by groups of diseases show some variations. The most significant improvements are in typhous and dysentery. Both of these diseases show almost no deaths after 1960. Significantly, there is no vaccination for dysentery and most people are not vaccinated for typhous.

Figure 2A. Crude Mortality Rates for Influenza & Pneumonia (Graph from JAMA)

-

Tuberculosis rates show a curve similar to the overall infectious disease rate. Interestingly, the death rate from pneumonia and influenza from 1970 through 1996 shows a general increase, in spite of the ongoing vaccinations for influenza and the introduction of pneumonia vaccines in 1977 and 1983.

Figure 2B. Crude Mortality Rates for Typhous & Dysentery (Graph from JAMA)

-

As noted above, deaths from typhous and dysentery plunge to near-zero by 1960—though there is no vaccine for dysentery and passingly few people are vaccinated against typhous.

Figure 2C. Crude Mortality Rates for Diphtheria, Pertussis, Measles, & Polio (Graph from JAMA)

Diphtheria shows its greatest decrease of deaths prior to 1920. There was a spike in diphtheria deaths during the early 1920′s, shortly after the vaccination was introduced, and then the rate of decrease continued as before the vaccination’s introduction. Whooping cough (pertussis) and measles showed the same general trend of decrease during the 20th century.

Finally, take a look at the chart for death rates from all disease causes. From 1900 into the 1920s, the infectious disease rate goes down at an impressive pace. This is a time during which there were no vaccinations against childhood diseases. The decrease in the rate of deaths continues at about the same pace well into the 1950s. Then, it starts to level out, in spite of the fact that the vast majority of children are vaccinated during this time.

-

Now, take a look at the same graph showing the death rates from all diseases. This should make you nervous. The rate of death from noninfectious causes decreases slightly from 1900 through 1920. However, during the 1930s, when vaccinations start to be introduced, the death rate from noninfectious causes started to increase!

Figure 3. Crude Mortality Rates for All Causes (Graph from JAMA)

-

Our Conclusion:

For decades the conventional medical community, at large, has been touting the effectiveness of vaccinations in the prevention of disease.  Yet, as every single graph from JAMA’s own data base shows that these maladies were already on the decline some 30+ years before the introduction of these “life saving vaccines”!

It is more likely, in our opinion, that the decrease in the infection and mortality rate of these maladies can be attributed more to improvements in diet and sanitary conditions than the vaccination program instituted by the conventional medical community.

Our Recommendation:

If you are so inclined to “take the shot” do so.  We are not posting this article to discourage you from controlling your own personal health care.  Quite to the contrary.  We have provided you with this point of view to empower you to be able to make an informed decision based on all sides of the issue.

We do suggest however that you start now to improve your bodies natural ability to deal with these maladies by getting your immune system into shape before this year’s flu season arrives.

Researchers in England are warning of a new gene that can turn any bacteria into a “super bug“, rendering it impervious to most antibiotics. They also say the gene may soon begin rapidly spreading worldwide.

The gene was first discovered in hospitals in India and Pakistan, but cases have also been reported in Australia, the Netherlands, the United States — and Canada.

The new gene, called NDM-1, appears to be most commonly linked to the bacteria that cause urinary tract infections and some types of pneumonia. However, it can also impact other types of bacteria.

Dr. Larry Baddour, chair of the division of infectious disease at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn said that over 70 years of exposure to some of the same types of antibiotics has given bacteria the time to develop resistant genes. “The bacteria are getting smarter and smarter and their gaining mechanisms to get around the antibiotics,” said Baddour. “We need newer agents.”

Infectious disease specialist Dr. Neil Rau said the gene is not widespread in Canada, and cautioned that these so-called superbugs may not lead to debilitating disease.

“This word superbug is a bit of a dangerous moniker, it can be a rather frightening word for people,” Rau told News Channel. “It’s a superbug in the sense that it’s resistant to antibiotics, but it may not be more virulent and able to attack and cause infection than the standard strains.”

Rau said researchers have yet to determine the “survival advantage,” or fitness, of the gene to continue to churn out these superbugs. But he said should the gene continue circulating, it will likely have a greater impact in a hospital setting where “the standard antibiotic cocktails that we use today may not be effective three or five years from now. So the whole treatment paradigm or approach might be changed.”

It is our opinion here at Health Products Guru that this “treatment paradigm” must be changed now.  Cases of H3N2, this years flu strain, have already been documented in various states over the summer, including two unrelated outbreaks in Iowa in a college team and at a day care center.

Today “West Nile Virus” was detected in East Knoxville with numerous reports of mosquitoes and birds found to be carrying the virus.  As you know there is no cure for West Nile.  The accepted treatment here is supportive care (rest and hydration).

So, here we are in August of 2010 and shipments of flu vaccinations are already traveling across the country and around the globe to deal with the up & coming flu season.  We have two viruses migrating in our direction that are resistant to antibiotics and the bottom line here folks is that people are going to get sick.  Those of you who have read our material in the past, especially that dealing with H1N1, know that we are far from alarmists.  You also know that it has always been our contention that optimizing the immune system through nutrition is the best way to insure maximum protection against any disease.  Thus far we have all been lucky.  H1N1 did infect a great many people and thank God the mortality rate was low.  Perhaps this NDM-1 “super bug” will be severe.  Perhaps it will be no more dangerous than a common cold.  Time will tell.  That does not however mean that you should sit on the sidelines and wait to see what happens.

You should always be prepared for the worst by keeping your immune system functioning at optimum levels at all times.

Most vaccination serums are created by using fragments of dead micro-organisms to trigger an immune system response to the invading organism.

The H1N1 nasal mist however is a “live vaccine” (contains the live H1N1 micro-organism).

**If you plan on taking the H1N1 vaccine  please note that women who are pregnant or patients with specific conditions — like asthma or immuno suppression  should not use the nasal form of vaccine due to  added risks posed by the live-virus vaccine.**

As those of you who have been reading my articles may have noted I have been quite suspect about this entire H1N1 (swine flu virus) scare for quite some time.  The release of this “live vaccine”  simply adds more fuel to that fire.  We know that the H1N1 virus has, as predicted, began to spread again.  We also know that pregnant women and the elderly were supposed to be the first to receive the “inject able” vaccine because they are among the “high risk“ groups.   Don’t you find it suspicious that the first shipments of the vaccine are not to be used by the “high risk” groups?

For whom are the intranasal vaccines deemed “safe” for use?  Children!  Now I’d like you to think about this for a moment.  Stated on the insert that comes with the vaccine the product has the potential for transmission to others.  So if a child gets the Flumist in school they are contagious to the other children for at least two weeks.  Is this going to help to contain the virus or help to spread it?  Are you going to let some doctor give your child the live virus?  More importantly are you going to permit your child come in contact with another child who received the intranasal vaccine?

Ladies and Gentlemen the bottom line is that this vaccine, in either form, has been fast tracked with very few studies.  The studies done, however, have been completed without the added thimerosal (mercury) and squalene. The vaccines for the general public, when they are ready, will be formulated with squalene (a possible cause of Gulf War Syndrome) and thimerosal, a known neurotoxin. Very few vaccines without these additives will be available.

Also, 90 percent of the seasonal flu vaccines contain thimerosal.

I’m not trying to frighten anyone here I am simply offering information that might be of interest and or of benefit to my readers.  Much of the information I have seen indicates that the virus has not began to mutate and that the mortality rate is relatively low (especially if you are not in a high risk group).  The question you must ask yourselves is: do the benefits outweigh the risks involved with inoculation?  Don’t take my word for anything here however I strongly advise that you do your due diligence before you make your decision.

Again, in closing, I will state my position that the best offense is a strong defense.  Do all that you can to boost your immune system now and allow your body do what it has been designed to do.

Ladies & Gentlemen I believe that there is something radically wrong here.  The more I investigate this health issue the more sinister it appears to be.  Let’s take a quick look at some of the facts.

• The World Health Organization raised the pandemic alert to five on April 29, one short of declaring a global pandemic.

• In May 2009 the WHO declared that 12,515 people had been effected by the H1N1 virus world wide resulting in 91 fatalities.

• Influenza kills 100 people every day and is not considered a “pandemic” by the WHO.

• While the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimated last week that as many as 1 million Americans may have contracted the H1N1 virus, it doesn’t seem to be any more dangerous than the seasonal flu, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told reporters on a teleconference call, July 10.  “At least to date, it appears that while a lot of people may get the H1N1 virus, it doesn’t appear to be significantly more lethal than seasonal flu is,” Sebelius explained.

Almost every study or opinion that I have been able to find states that the H1N1 virus is no more lethal than the seasonal influenza virus.  Yet the WHO is calling this a “pandemic”.   Also noteworthy is that there is a mountain of evidence which shows that the H1N1 vaccine itself is going to prove to be a far greater health hazard than the virus it has been designed to battle.  There have also been claims that the virus has begun to mutate.  If this is true the vaccine will prove to be useless in that it has been created using only fragments of H1N1.

Now Ladies and Gentlemen I don’t know if this virus was created in a laboratory or not and I’m certainly not here to make that argument.  I am only here to present the facts as I know them.  Speaking of which, here is another interesting fact that I stumbled  upon the other day that I found quite interesting:  a patent application dealing specifically with H1N1 (Swine Flu) and it’s sub-types was filed by Baxter Pharmaceuticals almost two years before the first actual case of Swine Flu was reported.  See the Patent Application Here

Finding this application rather conspicuous I began going through my research and play a little game of connect the dots and here is what I found.

It is believed that Ground Zero for the H1N1 outbreak is Mexico City, Mexico.

Baxter Pharmaceutical’s manufacturing plant lies in Cuernavaca which just happens to be located 50 miles from Mexico City.

Baxter sent vaccines contaminated with deadly live H5N1 avian flu virus to 18 countries before someone caught the mistake and the vaccine got injected thousands of people.

Baxter just missed creating its own pandemic then by mixing  deadly H5N1 virus with a mix of H3N2 seasonal flu viruses, or did they?

By possibly creating the pandemic, maybe Baxter already has the cure and that is why the World Health Organization (WHO) has deemed them the appropriate pharmaceutical company to lead the way for a swine flu vaccine.

Oh did I mention that Baxter’s Stock is doing quite well these days?  Have a Look For Yourselves

I’d like to take another path in broaching these issues here if I may.  As I have previously stated I believe that these vaccines are dangerous and should be avoided at all costs.  Again, this is my personal opinion and I do not advise others to take the same path that I have chosen.  I am simply providing you with information that can help you to make the best decisions concerning your health and the health of your families and friends.

Having said that I’d like to take a little time here to offer you some food for thought about vaccinations in general.

“There is a great deal of evidence to prove that immunization of children does more harm than good.”
Dr J Anthony Morris, former Chief Vaccine Control Officer, US Food
and Drug Administration

“In our opinion, there is now sufficient evidence of immune malfunction following current vaccination programmes to anticipate growing public demands for research investigation into alternative methods of prevention of infectious disease.”
Dr’s H. Buttram and J. Hoffman (Vaccinations and Immune Malfunctions)

“Every vaccine carries certain hazards and can produce inward reactions in some people…in general, there are more vaccine complications than is generally appreciated.”
Professor George Dick, London University

“The only wholly safe vaccine is a vaccine that is never used”
Dr James A. Shannon, National Institute of Health, USA

“Live virus vaccines against influenza and paralytic polio, for example, may in each instance cause the disease it is intended to prevent…”
Dr Jonas Salk, developer of first polio vaccine (Science 4/4/77 Abstracts)

Are you beginning to get the picture here?  These people are recognized as leaders in their area of expertise who all agree that immunization is not only useless it has actually exacerbated many of the health issues confronting us today.

Greg Bettie, author of; Vaccination a Parents Dilemma, shows that the death rate due to infectious diseases in Australia ( Whooping Cough, Diphtheria, Measles and Polio to name a few) were already, dramatically, on the decline by the time vaccinations were given and that these serums had nothing to do with the reduction of the morbidity rate.

Dr Henry Bieler, author of ‘Food is Your Best Medicine’ writes, “The primary cause of disease is not germs. Disease is caused by a toxaemia which results in cellular impairment and breakdown, thus paving the way for the multiplication and onslaught of germs”.

The causes of toxaemia are numerous. In third world countries the causes are related primarily to malnourishment, impure water, poor sanitation, poverty and overcrowding. In the developed countries like USA, Australia, England etc the causes are more related to over consumption of animal, dairy and refined processed foods, particularly cereals and grains, chemical additives in food and water, drugs, vaccines, pesticide residues and industrial poisons. Other causes can include poor parental health, traumatic childbirth, impoverished or polluted breast milk, too early introduction of solid foods, spinal misalignment, muscular spasm, and nutritional deficiency.

This is why I believe so strongly that vaccines are at least totally ineffective and at best a clear and present danger to our health.  Studies have shown that this is especially true in the case of children. Vaccines contain not only poisonous chemicals, such as formaldehyde which is commonly used to embalm corpses and is a known carcinogen, thiomersal, a derivative of mercury which is a toxic heavy metal and aluminum phosphate which is a toxin used in deodorants (to name a few) but also foreign proteins such as chick embryo, calf serum, rabbit brain tissue and monkey kidney cells. These foreign proteins can trigger numerous allergic and inflammatory reactions and can produce anaphylactic shock in susceptible infants.

In many children, the retention of vaccine poisons within the body may not cause any acute or noticeable symptoms, but it will cause a lowering of the child’s vitality, which in turn, weakens and impairs it’s intellectual, creative and imaginative powers, it’s physical energy and strength, and all of its internal metabolic functions and immune activities. What this means is that the child will operate at a level well below its true potential.

The toxic build-up within the child’s body and the subsequent depletion of its vitality through vaccines, drugs, fluoridated water, food additives, pesticide residues, atmospheric pollutants, electromagnetic radiation and other adverse factors in the lifestyle makes the child more susceptible to chronic disease at an earlier age, and it’s worth noting that the dramatic rise in childhood cancer, autism, juvenile diabetes, asthma and neurological disorders over the past fifty years, has directly coincided with the era of drugs, vaccines and chemical poisons in our food, water and environment.

Why do vaccinations continue if they have no benefit or more importantly are dangerous?  We will be discussing this question in a later article.

In the mean time I’d like you to keep this in mind.  There is a beneficial nature to childhood infection.  Let’s take a look at some of the symptoms associated with illness and how they actually benefit the body.

Fever – speeds up bodily elimination of toxic waste.

No Appetite – when a fever is present, the digestive system shuts down thus removing the need and desire for food.

Vomiting/Diarrhea – the body’s way of eliminating undigested foodstuff from the digestive tract.

Tiredness/Lethargy – the body’s way of forcing a sick person to rest thus conserving its energy for the vital tasks of cleansing and repair.

Glandular Swelling - the lymph glands filter the blood for toxic substances. Swelling of these glands greatly increases their filtering capacity.

Skin Rash - represents an elimination of toxic waste, the skin being a major eliminative organ.

Mucus Elimination – also an elimination of toxic waste. Mucus is made up of the body’s white blood cells which are the body’s garbage cans containing toxic residue. A good example is the runny nose.

Inflammation – serves the same purpose as fever, to cleanse and repair damaged or poisoned tissue in the body.

Now I’m not saying that we want our children to become ill.  What I am suggesting however is that the presence of these symptoms are not necessarily a bad thing.  They show that the body is functioning properly and is trying to rid itself of the malady that is effecting it.

Again I say in closing that the best defense Is a strong offence.  Do not wait until you or a loved one become ill to take action.  Be proactive not reactive.  Eat properly, supplement your diet with natural vitamins and minerals and keep your immune system strong.

Studies have shown that Fucoidan helps to activate dendritic cells within the body.  These dendritic cells have been shown to be the most effective anitigen presenting cells for naïve T-cells and initiates the process of immune system recognition of a new pathogen.

In simple terms dendritic cells help the body to identify new invaders and pass the information on to helper T-cells, killer T-cells and B cells (which all fight pathogens such as bacteria and viruses).  Dendritic cells are derived from hemopoietic bone marrow progenitor cells.  These progenitor cells initially transform into immature dendritic cells.  These immature dendritic cells, through the use of pattern recognition receptors, are constantly sampling their surrounding areas for pathogens.  Once these specialized cells come into contact with a pathogen they, through a process called “nibbling” basically take samples of the pathogen, degrade their proteins into small pieces and present those fragments at their cell surface.

Simultaneously, they upregulate cell-surface receptors that act as co-receptors in T-cell activation such as CD80 (B7.1), CD86 (B7.2), and CD40 greatly enhancing their ability to activate T-cells. They also upregulate CCR7, a chemotactic receptor that induces the dendritic cell to travel through the blood stream to the spleen or through the lymphatic system to a lymph node. Here they act as antigen-presenting cells: they activate helper T-cells and killer T-cells as well as B-cells by presenting them with antigens derived from the pathogen, alongside non-antigen specific costimulatory signals.

This, simply stated sets the immune system into motion.  The “helper T-Cells (Th)” for all intents and purposes are the traffic cops of the immune system.  Th cells are involved in activating and directing other immune cells, and are particularly important in the immune system. They are essential in determining B cell antibody class switching, in the activation and growth of cytotoxic T cells, and in maximizing bactericidal activity of phagocytes such as macrophages. It is this diversity in function and their role in influencing other cells that gives T helper cells their name.

Killer T-Cells are a type of T cell that attacks cells having specific antigens on their surface, such as cancer cells or cells infected with a virus. Also called cytotoxic T cell or CD8+ T cell.

The principal functions of B cells are to make antibodies against antigens, perform the role of Antigen Presenting Cells (APCs) and eventually develop into memory B cells after activation by antigen interaction. B cells are an essential component of the adaptive immune system.

Understanding how the immune system works and how Fucoidan sets the wheels in motion gives us a clear picture as to the potential that this important sea-derived substance may be the natural answer to H1N1 that we have all been looking for.

Although vitamin C & zinc have historically received most of the press regarding their ability to help resist cold and flu, Vitamin D is the big winner here.  In fact recent studies have shown that people with the lowest vitamin D levels are often the most susceptible to colds and flu.

“The findings of our study support an important role for vitamin D in prevention of common respiratory infections, such as colds and the flu,” says researcher Adit Ginde, MD, MPH, of the University of Colorado, Denver, Division of Emergency Medicine, in a news release. “Individuals with common lung diseases, such as asthma or emphysema, may be particularly susceptible to respiratory infections from vitamin D deficiency.”

“We are planning clinical trials to test the effectiveness of vitamin D to boost immunity and fight respiratory infection, with a focus on individuals with asthma and COPD, as well as children and older adults — groups that are at higher risk for more severe illness,” Ginde says. “While it’s too early to make any definitive recommendations, many Americans also need more vitamin D for its bone and general health benefits.”

A group of scientists from UCLA published a remarkable paper in the prestigious journal, Nature. The UCLA group confirmed two other recent studies, showing that a naturally occurring steroid hormone – a hormone most of us take for granted – was, in effect, a potent antibiotic. Instead of directly killing bacteria and viruses, the steroid hormone under question increases the body’s production of a remarkable class of proteins, called antimicrobial peptides. The 200 known antimicrobial peptides directly and rapidly destroy the cell walls of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, including the influenza virus, and play a key role in keeping the lungs free of infection. The steroid hormone that showed these remarkable antibiotic properties was plain old vitamin D.

A few years ago, I became convinced that vitamin D was unique in the vitamin world by virtue of three facts. First, it’s the only known precursor of a potent steroid hormone, calcitriol, or activated vitamin D. Most other vitamins are antioxidants or co-factors in enzyme reactions. Activated vitamin D – like all steroid hormones – damasks the genome, turning protein production on and off, as your body requires. That is, vitamin D regulates genetic expression in hundreds of tissues throughout your body. This means it has as many potential mechanisms of action as genes it damasks.

Second, vitamin D does not exist in appreciable quantities in normal human diets. True, you can get several thousand units in a day if you feast on sardines for breakfast, herring for lunch and salmon for dinner. The only people who ever regularly consumed that much fish are peoples, like the Inuit, who live at the extremes of latitude. The milk Americans depend on for their vitamin D contains no naturally occurring vitamin D; instead, the U.S. government requires fortified milk to be supplemented with vitamin D, but only with what we now know to be a paltry 100 units per eight-ounce glass.

The vitamin D steroid hormone system has always had its origins in the skin, not in the mouth. Until quite recently, when dermatologists and governments began warning us about the dangers of sunlight, humans made enormous quantities of vitamin D where humans have always made it, where naked skin meets the ultraviolet B radiation of sunlight. We just cannot get adequate amounts of vitamin D from our diet. If we don’t expose ourselves to ultraviolet light, we must get vitamin D from dietary supplements.

The third way vitamin D is different from other vitamins is the dramatic difference between natural vitamin D nutrition and the modern one. Today, most humans only make about a thousand units of vitamin D a day from sun exposure; many people, such as the elderly or African Americans, make much less than that. How much did humans normally make? A single, twenty-minute, full body exposure to summer sun will trigger the delivery of 20,000 units of vitamin D into the circulation of most people within 48 hours. Twenty thousand units, that’s the single most important fact about vitamin D. Compare that to the 100 units you get from a glass of milk, or the several hundred daily units the U.S. government recommend as “Adequate Intake.” It’s what we call an “order of magnitude” difference.

Our advice – get tested to check vitamin D levels in your body.  Take vitamin D supplements derived from natural sources.  Last and certainly not least, get 20/40 minuits of exposure to sunlight daily.  For more information Click Here about vitamin D supplementation.
