Mighty Vitamin D Better Than Vaccines at Preventing Flu in Children
Note in the news article below that the protective benefits of Vitamin D against the flu did not kick in until blood levels of the vitamin were high enough. This means you have to be taking Vitamin D regularly, in order to enjoy the protective effects.
It is astonishing, of course, than an inexpensive vitamin can cut flu cases IN HALF in children, whereas expensive prescription vaccines costing taxpayers billions of dollars annually cut the risk of flu infection by only a meager 8%.
Once again, natural trumps unnatural.
‘Nuff said.

Report: Vitamin D Better Than Vaccines at Preventing Flu in Children
By Oliver Gillie, TimesOnline.co.uk
Vitamin D could cut the risk of flu infection in children by half, the report claims
The risk of children suffering from flu can be halved if they take vitamin D, doctors in Japan have found. The finding has implications for flu epidemics since vitamin D, which is naturally produced by the human body when exposed to direct sunlight, has no significant side effects, costs little and can be several times more effective than anti-viral drugs or vaccine.
Only one in ten children, aged six to 15 years, taking the sunshine vitamin in a clinical trial came down with flu compared with one in five given a dummy tablet. Mitsuyoshi Urashima, the Japanese doctor who led the trial, told The Times that vitamin D was more effective than vaccines in preventing flu.
Vitamin D was found to be even more effective when the comparison left out children who were already given extra vitamin D by their parents, outside the trial. Taking the sunshine vitamin was then shown to reduce the risk of flu to a third of what it would otherwise be.
Altogether 354 children took part in the trial, which took place during the winter of 2008-09, before the swine flu epidemic. Vitamin D was found to protect against influenza A, which caused last year’s epidemic, but not against the less common influenza B.
The trial, which was double blind, randomised, and fully controlled scientifically, was conducted by doctors and scientists from Jikei University School of Medicine in Tokyo, Japan.
The children were given a daily dose of 1200 IUs (international units) of vitamin D over a period of three months. In the first month children in the group taking the vitamin became ill just as often as those taking the dummy tablet. But by the second month, when the vitamin level in the children’s blood was higher, the advantage of the vitamin was clear.
The Japanese scientists, writing in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, say that the anti-viral drugs zanamivir and oseltamivir reduce risk of flu infection by 8 per cent in children who have been exposed to infection, compared with a 50 per cent or greater reduction with vitamin D.
Anti-virals are also too expensive, and possibly too toxic, to be given to the population as a whole whereas vitamin D has additional benefits. The sunshine vitamin not only prevents bone fractures but is also believed to reduce risks of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other illness, including various bacterial as well as viral infections.
The Japanese finding supports a theory that low blood levels of the sunshine vitamin occurring in winter explain why flu epidemics generally peak between December and March.
Vitamin D activates the innate immune system, enabling the body to produce several proteins such as defensin and cathelicidin which trigger cell activity and disable viruses.
Dr Urashima said: “Vitamin D and vaccine work by quite different mechanisms. Vitamin D enhances innate immunity while vaccine enhances acquired immunity. So we do not have to select only one way of prevention, rather we should do both ways, I think.”
Dr John Oxford, professor of virology at Queen Mary School of Medicine, London, said: “This is a timely study. It will be noticed by scientists. It fits in with the seasonal pattern of flu. There is an increasing background of solid science that makes the vitamin D story credible. But this study needs to be replicated. If it is confirmed we might think of giving vitamin D at the same time as we vaccinate.”

Drug companies made false claims in order to induce panic and boost market for H1N1 vaccine...
The severity of the H1N1 outbreak was deliberately exaggerated by pharmaceutical companies that stood to make billions of dollars from a worldwide scare, a leading European health expert has claimed.
Wolfgang Wodarg, head of health at the Council of Europe, has accused the makers of vaccines for the virus of unduly influencing the World Health Organisation's (WHO) decision to declare a pandemic. He claims the threshold for declaring a pandemic was purposely lowered so that vaccine makers could take maximum financial advantage of a crisis that literally didn't exist.

Are You Still Considering the Flu Vaccine?
Many doctors, researchers and infectious disease experts admit the flu vaccine is just about worthless. Here are just a few: “There is no evidence that any influenza vaccine thus far developed is effective in preventing or mitigating any attack of influenza…The producers of these vaccines know they are worthless, but they go on selling them anyway.”
- Dr. Anthony Morris, distinguished virologist and former Chief Vaccine Officer at the U.S. Federal Drug Administration (FDA)
“I have never been impressed with its efficacy.”
- Dr. Graeme Laver, PhD, original co-inventor of the flu vaccine
“The truth is we move annually into periods where there are dramatic increases in flu-like causing pathogens, however, the majority of these are unrelated to any strain of influenza virus. There can between 150 and 200 different infectious pathogens that produce flu-like symptoms during a typical ‘flu season.’ This is true during every flu season and this year is no different...all flu vaccinations, including the swine flu, are useless for protecting people from these many prevalent infectious organisms.”
- Dr. Gary Null, Ph.D, NY Times bestselling author; former lead investigator for ABC Radio Network's "Caveat Emptor"
“An influenza vaccine is not working for the majority of influenza-like illnesses because it is only designed to combat influenza viruses. For that reason, the vaccine changes nothing when it comes to the heightened mortality rate during the winter months.”
- Dr. Tom Jefferson, head of vaccine studies at international Cochrane Database Collaboration
“Last week, Switzerland’s health authorities rejected Novartis’ new swine flu vaccine, Celtura, being targeted for women and children, because the company’s studies were insufficient to guarantee its safety. In addition, the new Novartis vaccine, which uses a cell base from dogs, was found to be contaminated with canine-specific bacteria…This is the same Novartis whose Fluvirin H1N1 vaccine being distributed in the US relied only on a hasty clinical efficacy and safety trial enrolling only a small number of health adults. Novartis likely remains unperturbed. The Swiss pharmaceutical giant has reported a $6.1 billion profit so far this year and expects to boost sales for the final quarter with is swine flu vaccine.”
- Richard Gale, former Senior Research Analyst in the biotechnology and genomic industries

Detoxifying Naturally from Mandatory Flu Vaccines
I’ve been getting a lot of questions about what to do if the government orders mandatory vaccines in order to help stem the spread of the so-called “Swine Flu.”
This is a legitimate concern, particularly considering the fact that the World Health Organization has now announced that the outbreak is “a global threat to public health” and has now declared a Phase V Alert, which is one step before announcing that a global epidemic is taking place.
The subhead in a news headline at MSNBC.com today reads, “Global outbreak considered imminent; vaccine efforts will be ramped up.”
Personally, my greatest fear is that the powers that be are drumming up this panic just like they did during the swine flu scare of 1976 -- only this time instead of offering voluntary flu vaccinations, they will push for mandatory flu vaccinations, under the guise of “protecting the public health.”
Detoxifying Naturally
Because there are so many different toxins in vaccines, most people who write want to know how to detoxify their body afterwards, if they are forced to take the flu vaccine. So I contacted George Foss, a well-known nutritional supplement formulator and former general manager of Kayser’s Nutrition Center, and asked him what natural methods for detoxifying from flu vaccines he’d recommend.
George recommends taking NAC, along with Chlorella, Silymarin, Vitamin C, Oscillococcinum, and Colloidal Silver.
NAC, i.e., N-acetyl Cysteine -- a sulfur-bearing amino acid which binds and removes mercury and other metals found in vaccines from the body; also breaks down toxic substances in liver; available at local health food stores or through internet sources.
Chlorella – (use broken cell wall Chlorella); major all-around cellular detoxifier and cleanser; available at local health food stores or through internet sources.
Silymarin – i.e., the Milk Thistle herb, a well-known liver protector and detoxifier (take as directed on bottle); available at local health food stores or through internet sources.
Vitamin C -- 2 grams/day for immune support and for chelating metals used in the vaccines; start taking several days before vaccination if possible, and for at least a week afterwards; available at local health food stores or through internet sources.
Oscillococcinum – a homeopathic remedy that eliminates unwanted flu and flu vaccine symptoms; this is the #1 flu medication in France; it provides significant symptomatic relief from the trauma to the body caused by the flu and flu vaccines; it is carried online by CVS Pharmacy at www.CVS.com – use their online search engine to find it.
Colloidal silver – For adults, take two ounces per day, minimum, for immune support, and to inactivate any viral fragments from vaccines that contained the weakened virus; take it for at least several days before and for at least a week after taking a vaccine. (Children should not take more than two teaspoons full per day; check with your trusted health care practitioner.)
By the way, colloidal silver is a great flu preventative also. Numerous studies have demonstrated its powerful antivirial, antibacterial and antifungal qualities. Taking it daily during a flu outbreak can provide significant protection against the flu. See Colloidal Silver and Swine Flu: 7 Important Steps to Take Now.
You can make your own colloidal silver for about 36 cents a quart (rather than paying $30 for a tiny four-ounce bottle in health food stores), by obtaining a high-quality Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from our good friends at TheSilverEdge.com. Or, if you cannot afford a colloidal silver generator right now, you can make an emergency batch of colloidal silver by following the instructions on this web page.
