Vitamin D, Your Best Defense Against The Flu

Vitamin D, Your Best Defense Against The Flu
Have you had your flu shot yet?  This is a question that will be asked over and over again from now until the end of the current flu season. We strongly recommend NOT getting your Flu shot and will explain below.  Taking a flu shot actually weakens your immune system, predisposing you to the flu.
Studies have proven that increasing your Vitamin D intake during flu season is more effective than taking a flu shot to prevent catching influenza.  A lack of Vitamin D weakens your immune system.  This is what usually causes sickness during cold and flu season.  The flu vaccine has some ingredients in it that are concerning and known not to be good for us.  A few of the ingredients are Mercury, Aluminum and Formaldehyde.  The flu vaccine is made to combat only three strains of flu.  There are over 500 flu viruses that we can come in contact with.  The best way to really prepare our immune system to combat the flu bug is to  fortify ourselves with good nutrition, adequate sleep, exercise and additional Vitamin D.  It is recommended that each person needs 35 IU (international units) of Vitamin D per pound of body weight.  This is about 4,000 to 6,000 IU per day for most adults.  We sell Bio-D Mulsion Forte which is a high quality vitamin D drop which gives you 2000 IU in each drop.  Dr. Brian recommends taking 3 drops daily during cold and flu season.  Also Zinc, Black Elderberry and Echinaeca supplements are immune boosting.  These are best purchased from a reputable health food store.  If you feel you are coming down with the flu it is important to boost the amount of Vitamin C you are taking in addition to taking Vitamin D.  This will help your body fight off the virus and get you back to feeling well soon.  Chiropractic adjustments also help our immune systems so instead of subjecting you and your family to a painful injection why not fight the flu the natural way?  Increase your vitamin D and get an adjustment.
