Good Health News: Vitamin D DOES Fight The Flu, And Other Infections!

When the phony Swine Flu Pandemic was pushed all over the media, many of us in the real news, the blogosphere, warned people NOT to subject their bodies to the Pharmaceutical Industries' BS Swine Flu Vaccines because of their dangerous side effects and the proven fact that these "vaccines" would only weaken immune systems.

I for one was a strong proponent of everyone not taking vaccines, but instead to start taking high amounts of Vitamin D. My archives have several articles stating clearly that taking Vitamin D was essential to keeping YOUR immune system strong in the fight against the Zionist man made viruses.

Well, it seems that I and others have been proven right again! Here now, I want to present an article that I found through www.iamthewitness.com, from the website: www.foodconsumer.org, that gives definitive proof that Vitamin D deficiency is the major cause of weakened immune systems! Here is that article:

Vitamin D deficiency is why you get flu and other infections

A new study led by researchers at the University of Copenhagen has confirmed that vitamin D plays an important role in activating immune defenses against infectious diseases like flu.

Vitamin D deficiency has already been linked to a wide spectrum of diseases including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, depression, autoimmune disease and many others.

The study published in the latest edition of Nature Immunology discovers that activation of T-cells to fight infections needs definite help from vitamin D.

Carsten Geisler and colleagues, study authors, explained the role vitamin D plays in the immune responses as follows.

First when the naive T cell recognizes foreign invaders like bacteria or viruses with T cell receptor (TCR), it sends activating signals (1) to the vitamin D receptor gene. The VDR gene then starts producing DVR protein, which binds vitamin D in the T cell (3) and becomes activated. Then the vitamin D bound and activated DVR gets into the cell nucleus and activates the gene for PLC-gamma1 (5), which in turn produces PLC-gamma1 protein (6) and "the T cells can get started".

In the case of flu fighting, Dr. John Cannell and his colleagues have reported that vitamin D helps produce antibacterial peptides that help protect against flu. That is why in winter people are prone to becoming vitamin D deficiency and getting infected with flu viruses.

Dr. Cannell, a vitamin D expert and director of Vitamin D Council, says in his newsletter sent last year that two physicians, one in Wisconsin and the other in Georgia reported to him that few of their patients/residents who maintained a high level of serum vitamin d acquired swine flu last year while many of other patients and medical workers who did not take vitamin D to maintain high vitamin D levels got swine flu and other flu viruses.

NTS Notes: Vitamin D is again showing itself to be what is deficient in people when it comes to fighting common colds and the flu. Again, as before, I recommend that all readers start taking Vitamin D supplements daily, and absolutely avoid any of the criminal phony vaccines.
