WARNING: Too much Vitamin D can be toxic. This is a protocol shared to me by my doctor. I am simply sharing my strategies. I urge you to consult with your doctor about your health.
I picked up this supplement (also available on amazon here: http://bit.ly/HiDoseD3 ) at my doctor's office yesterday. It is a 50,000 IU Vitamin D3 supplement.
I was told at the first sign of virus to take one a day for 3 days. To make sure I wasn't getting any other D (like from a multivitamin)
Then I did some research on PubMed.gov as well as websites of some of my favorite natural healers and liked what I saw.
A few weeks ago when my son had the flu we let him ride out the fever, gave him lots of cough drops, 3 doses a day of Oscillococcinum (the homeopathic remedy for flu) and gave him 25,000 IU of Vitamin D3 each day for 4 days and he sailed right through the virus.
I'm thinking it might be a good idea to keep some on hand.
