healthcat, good info, thank you! My father has emphysema and I read where 100,000 units of emulsified Vit A for a month can actually reverse it (to an extent). I started him out on 80000 and then read an article about bone weakness caused by too much Vit A. I took him off it for now (he broke his hip in june). I am waiting for a month or 2 (he is on Vit D from his doc) before I restart him on it.
I am also having him work out at the gym twice a week lightly. Once I feel his bone density is up, I will restart the Vit A high dose for a week or 2. And then lay off again.
Well, I watched the video twice and checked out several links at the Grassroots site, but couldn't find any information about a conflict between vitamins A and D.
Would somebody correct me if I am wrong. Did I read somewhere(Mercola.com?) that Dr. Oz said that he would take the Swine Flu vaccine but he did not want it for his wife and four children?
Recently found out one son-in-law had Swine Flu last week but he got
over it fine and is back to work. My daughter didn't tell me earlier so as
not to worry me. So far no one else in the family shows any sighs of it.
Here's hoping it stays that way.

I don't have any CS on hand at the moment. I've never used MMS or Iodine, and need to learn more before I do.
If I got the Swine Flu now, I would definitely increase my Vitamin C and D3. My dosages now are VERY low, compared to what I've been reading here, only 1,000 IU's on the D, and 1,000 mg. on the C.
I'm most concerned about respiratory complications, as this seems to be the most serious side effect (I don't smoke or have asthma). What can be used for flu induced lung/respiration problems using items that can be bought at a local vitamin/drug store?
Quote:
However, anyone with asthma or other respiratory illness, and perhaps even heavy smokers should be extra vigilant, because what makes severe cases of H1N1 more severe than regular flu is the way that it attacks the respiratory system. Seasonal flu is largely an upper respiratory illness, but in severe cases H1N1 moves deeper into the lungs and causes viral pneumonia. It is the complications from the pneumonia that has caused the vast majority of Swine Flu deaths.

Dr. Oz is taking the swine flu vaccine because he said he has to in order to visit any of his patients that are in hospital, however, he suggests that everyone gets the shot.
He has many good suggestions, but this is not one of them. As far as his wife and kids are concerned, his wife won't get the shot nor will his kids.
Its easy to see who wears the pants in the family

1000 I.U. of vitamin D is equal to only 25 micrograms. (1ooo mcg = 1 mg) That is a very small amount. An average sized adult can safely take 10,000 I.U. of D3 per day for the fall and winter months, and since vitamin D is fat soluable, "heavier" people need more, as do people with darker skin.
1000 mg of C is not enough. An average person could easily take 2000 mg three or four times per day. ( I take over 20,000 mg per day in divided doses)
For lung/respiration problems, you should consider colloidal silver and a nebulizer. The silver should be clear, about 25 parts per million, and should have a neutral pH, then it could be inhaled directly into the lungs where it would kill bacteria, including staph and MRSA.
As a prevention, dip a q-tip in colloidal silver, and coat the inside of each nostril.

CS can also be used directly in eyes.
Thanks so much for that info - very timely - I've had a cold since Sat. and it's kicking my butt! I'm afraid it's the beginnings of a sinus infection. I think the CS could really help me, but I'm soooo scared to do it! I don't know why - I've read up on it, and it does seem very safe if you get a good quality...it's just so foreign to me. BUT we do have a nebulizer - so that's already done....
Maybe I'll give my health food store owner - friend a call tomorrow and ask her about it. Thanks so much!

Thanks pinballdoctor, I appreciate your information and advice! I'll use higher doses of D3 and C.
The only Colloidal Silver I've ever used was Mesosilver from Purest Colloids. It was only 20ppm, but I remember it as being almost clear (.9999 pure).
What brand do you recommend to use, and can you lead me to a place to buy an inexpensive nebulizer? Honestly, I don't even know what one looks like.
And we all know here that 1,000 IU is not sufficient. 5,000 IU at the very least. If you have never taken any ever then 10,000.
Loading doses of 50,000 IU daily for a week
and if you actually get sick 50,000 IU three times a day for 3 days.
Dr. OZ still has a learning curve. Someone should invite him to come here.
You recommend a loading dose of 50,000 the first week, then if one gets sick a total of 150,000IUs total after 3 days. How did you come to this dosage? Loading seems good but just trying to find out how you came to that dosage when someone gets sick? Thanks

I make my own silver most of the time, however, when I buy CS I like the sovereign brand.
As far as the nebulizer goes, Walmart had some Elite brand nebulizers on sale from $65 down to $15, so I bought two.

Dr. Mercola suggests as much D3 as 1000 I.U. per pound of body weight for three consecutive days if you get any symptoms of the flu. So if you weigh 150 pounds, you would take 150,000 I.U. for three days, or 450,000 I.U. total. That would stop the flu in its tracks.
150,000 I.U. sounds like alot, but is only 3.75 mg.

Thank you pinballdoctor! I have a bottle of Respiratory Support CS coming from Get Healthy Again. I've been online looking at nebulizers, and was thinking of going with an Omron, since I own that brand of pedometer. I'll DEFINITELY check out Walmart, thanks for the tip!
A heads up on Omron "portable" nebulizers. I bought one 5 or 6 years ago for around a hundred dollars, maybe a little less, because I wanted to be able to do treatments while out and about. When it arrived the only thing portable about it was to be able to pick it up and move it from one electrical outlet to the other. They wanted me to pay another $97 for the battery pack attachment! I was so disgusted that I've never ordered it, or used the nebulizer! Not only that, when the nebulizer arrived it was thrown in a dusty, grubby looking bag that looked like it had sat on the shelf for several years, with no instructions. I was pretty disappointed. I am sure not all are like that, but you should order from a reputable place. I can't remember the name of the fly-by-night outfit that I ordered from. I believe it was considered to be a personal use item that couldn't be returned, even though I hadn't used it.
I noticed at the website that someone posted earlier on this thread, different brands were listed and they tended to play the same game in the way they list them, adding the battery separate. With each little thing added the price goes up. Just thought you should be aware.
With someone like me where I have to have my medication in order to breathe, I can't stop in the middle of a supermarket and ask to use their electrical outlet. The portability by battery was important to me.
I got the results back yesterday from my D3 blood and urine testing last week.
My Dr's office actually called me instead of sending a card. I tested at only 24
and was told to take an additional 5000iu's daily. I had been taking one 5000iu
capsule a day. I'm glad I remembered to get the test done.
