Go to a good healthfood store and buy some Jarrow Formulas Vitamin D [2500 IU] and you and Rin just start gobbling those puppies. At LEAST two a day... for the rest of time... but ESPECIALLY when there's flus going around.
DON'T even think about the vaccination.
I wouldn't do it to my kids either, but that's your call. The vaccine has been deadlier than the virus, and the virus has been WAAAAAAAAY less deadly than the seasonal flu. So just do the D thing and call it good.
OLD PEOPLE HAVE TO HAVE A LOT OF D SUPPLEMENTATION... NOT JUST WHEN YOU GET RICKETS LIKE I DID.... It's huge. You gotta have it.
Rin went to the doctor yesterday for a sore back and they loaded her up on D.
Meg got the shot since she has asthma which gets real bad when she gets sick, Kae hates needles so she didn't. Rin was forced to since she works for the School District.
It was hilarious to watch the panic here - they all raced off for shots even though I tried to dissuade them. Then they all came back thinking every little sneeze etc. was the bug for sure.
By some miracle of insentient zenmistresstude it has not deigned to rain all day....
Further, it has been nearly warm... which ought to mean the sky will open up and drown us all... but it seems not to have piled onto my prescription debacle and I have made it home with almost all my prescriptions, another bill timely paid, a modest amount of important groceries... AND SOME NEW FUZZY SOCKS THAT WERE ON SERIOUS SALE.
This is all going to have to count in the positive column... especially since the bill I paid was my ISP and THAT is set to an extremely low rate for two years... THANK THE BUDDHAS OF THE TEN DIRECTIONS... so I'm feeling that if I live to get to sleep tonight I might make it for another week or even two....
Yer senility could clear right up! On top of guarding you against dread cancers and flus and keeping yer ticker in shape. Do not let anyone dissuade you from a life of lots of REAL vitamin D. We DO NOT get enough in our dairy products or from the sun, any of us, but most of all us old coots... and WE are the ones who need it the most.
Don't slack! Get the Jarrow kind, the gels, because THAT is the kind I am certain is the REAL thing. It was what finally got my D levels up after nuking me with D for many months.
400 IU is OLD news. New science says blood levels need to be much higher. I'm actually citing the lower end of what is now felt by researchers to be enough. Medicine has not caught up to the research. There's tons of research online, and videos of conferences with speakers talking about the science and what is now considered healthy. There are toxicity issues, but not until you get hundreds of thousands of IUs a day for a long time.
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. —John F. Kennedy
The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so. —Ronald Reagan
Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak. —Martin Luther King
We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked. —not uttered by anyone in charge lately
Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them. —Old Uncle Dave
As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country. —Pat Buchanan
Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids. —Scott Horton
There has to be altruism in the universe. —Frank Drake
The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome. —Paul Craig Roberts
I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court. —Cynthia McKinney
No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world." —Chris Floyd
The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below. —Howard Zinn
...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable. —Matt Taibbi
· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.
· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.
· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.
Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further. —Ted Rall
As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil. —Terry Eagleton
Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice. —Michael Parenti
I've found that culture, however useful and important, is neither the foundation nor the ceiling of human experience, even if it is commonly used for walls. —Thomas Cleary
I really consider President and Mrs. Mubarak to be friends of my family. So I hope to see him often here in Egypt and in the United States. —Hillary Clinton

Boss down with H1N1 - office staff freaking out, spraying Lysol everywhere! He was in yesterday all day not feeling well. Diagnosed this morning.
We'll see if I am old enough to have an immunity as they claim!

Muy importante!
D3 - Cholecalciferol?
ReplyDeleteThat's what they gave Rin.
400 IU - it says 100% D. R. Amount
You're talking 12.5 times that. Isn't there a toxicity issue?
