By now there must be hundreds of articles and studies (and even more personal experiences) that draw the opposite conclusion from the article in Science Daily.

This winter was the first time that me and my family have taken a high dose vitamin D supplement. My wife ALWAYS gets at least one cold per winter, and I usually get one or 2. My two little children also had colds last winter. Well, the only thing we've changed in our supplement routine was adding 5000 IU for us adults, 2000 iu for the older child, and 1000 iu for the baby. guess what...not one cold or flu at all this year. And that's with the H1N1 scare too. We took extra high dose for the first few days too to build up D levels. -Ken Bagwell ________________________________ From: Pat <pattycake29...@yahoo.com> To: silver list <silver-list@eskimo.com> Sent: Fri, March 12, 2010 3:08:03 PM Subject: CS>Vitamin D I am 60. I get over 2,000 units vitamin D a day in pill form. I'm in the western part of South Carolina, USA at Latitude: 34.8525. Two years ago, I hadn't heard about vitamin D deficiency, but luckily my doctor made me get the 25-hydroxy vitamin D blood test and a vitamin B-12 test. I was astounded when my vitamin D level was 14. So, the next summer it was 55, then last February it was 46. I'm not taking less than I was last year, but I've not been able to sit in the sun as much, I guess. I'm thinking about calling the doctor's office back and asking the nurse to make sure she read it right. She was stuttering around about the date, then she just said it's normal level. I said I need to know the number, so she came up with 25. I don't know yet how much it cost for the test, but last time I think I paid about $47 for it....but it was discounted because of the Blue Cross/Blue Shield agreement, I'm sure. It's not cheap! I hesitate to take much more vitamin D, preferring to get it through the natural sun when I can. This article turns everything topsy-turvy and I don't know if I should believe it. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/01/080125223302.htm Pat -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
