The news is out: Vitamin D is better than the swine flu vaccine at halting H1N1 infections. In fact, without vitamin D, chances are that a vaccine won't generate much of an immune response in the first place.

That's because vitamin D is essential for healthy, active immune function. That's just one of the reasons smart people are choosing vitamin D instead of the swine flu vaccine. Here are nineteen more reasons:

#1 Vitamin D activates your immune system to respond to any viral exposure (not just one virus).

#2 Vitamin D naturally belongs in your body.

#3 Vitamin D has been functioning as medicine in the human body since the beginning of the human species.

#4 Vitamin D is available right now and there's no shortage of it.

#5 Vitamin D won't cause your brain to swell and put you into a coma.

#6 Vitamin D doesn't require an injection with a scary needle.

#7 Vitamin D is found naturally in many foods such as sardines or salmon.

#8 Vitamin D has a perfect safety record. No one ever died from consuming it.

#9 Vitamin D is affordable. You can even get it for free (from sunlight).

#10 Vitamin D doesn't contain viral fragments from diseased animals (like vaccines often do).

#11 Vitamin D doesn't contain thimerosal or other chemical preservatives.

#12 Vitamin D doesn't need a warning sheet describing possible side effects.

#13 Vitamin D doesn't hurt your arm when you take it.

#14 Vitamin D also improves sugar metabolism, bone density and healthy moods.

#15 Vitamin D is safe for the environment.

#16 Vitamin D doesn't contain squalene or other inflammatory adjuvant chemicals.

#17 Vitamin D works on everyone and is safe for everyone, including infants and children.

#18 Vitamin D is made in nature, not a laboratory.

#19 Vitamin D is found naturally in breast milk.

#20 You can walk, and chew gum, and generate vitamin D from sunshine all at the same time!

Skip the vaccine. Get more Vitamin D!

Are you serious??  Vaccines save lives and you are more likely to get hit by lightening than have a negative response to the vaccine.  People DIE from this virus - they have the flu, go to bed and go into respiratory distress and bloody die.  Otherwise seemingly healthy people.  And do you know who is most at risk - children under 5.  You might as well tell people to apply leaches to their bodies.  Vitamin D will help boost your immune system, but it isn't going to prevent your contraction of the virus and subsequent passing to others.  Do we not have some obligation to prevent spreading this and thereby increasing the number of fatalities??  I love the arrogance of modern people - vaccines save lives. Period.

Lisa, you're completley daft.  Have you EVER done any of your own research on vaccines instead of just listening to what the media tells you?

vitamin D is essential for having a healthy body, ask your pediatrician.

 

Great post Heidi.

Also, I've never been hit by lightening, but every vaccine I've ever had has given me an adverse reaction, which is why my mother was smart enough to stop giving them to me.

How about the act that Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, which means it accumulates in the body, so if you take too much of it, you could get very sick or even die.  Nowhere in your post did you give daily requirements or any kind of safety information.  Next time, do some research before you offer "advice".

Yes you can take "too much" vitamin D, but the majority of people are very low in vit. D....I have been taking 50,000 units a week, and am sure it has helped my immune system. I am 35 weeks pregnant and have been exposed to the flu and other sicknesses and havent gotten sick...but then again I take good care of my body as well. I believe in our bodies natural defesnse system...I think its sad people get so defensive when they dont agree with a post...if you dont agree...then move on...dont make other people who have a different opinion look like they are the bad guy...

It would be a good idea to not exceed the USDA RDI for V.D.  It is fat soluble and it can cause harm in large amounts.  I'm not vaccine happy, I will probably not get the H1N1 vaccine for my family, but certain vitamins can be hazardous if taken too much.  V.E, V.D, V.K and V.A.  Too much Vitamin A can cause birth defects.  Accutane, the acne medicine has a lot to do with V.A and that can cause such serious birth defects.

The B vitamins and  V.C are not fat soluble and your body will excrete them if it has enough.

You need to always research what you are taking, even if it's a vitamin or "herb".

vaccines also take lives genius. check out vears sometime my fellow arrogant one. and fyi vears statistics are grossly under reported. i could give a shit less if you care to vax or not-that is your choice. you have your reasons and i have mine. so because not everybody agrees on the decision to vaccinate that makes them uneducated or arrogant? i have done my own research thanks, so take your closed minded, judgemental bullshit somewhere else troll
