Hi Kimberly,

My sources say you should take 5,000 IU’s per day if you’re pregnant, so you’re doing just fine!

Hi Tracy,

My friend, Dr. Joe Mercola, says that Vitamin D3 helps to kill the cell walls of bacteria, fungi and viruses.

Here’s a link to his article: Dr. Joseph Mercola’s Tips to Avoid the Swine Flu

His very first point in this article is to make sure you get enough Vitamin D.

I hope your son gets well soon so he can start enjoying being a “teenager!”

Thanks for this tip Buck. My son turned 13 today and appears to be getting the flu. We had already canceled his party because most of his friends were sick. I’m tempted to pick up some D3 for him, and the rest of us.

One point I didn’t understand was that you said that D3 helps your body create something similar to “natural antibiotics” that can help fight off the flu. Since the flu is virus how does that help? I can understand how it would help with respiratory infection, but not the virus.

Thanks for any more info you may have.

Hi Monica,

Thanks for you comment!

I’m not a Doctor, so you ALWAYS need to consult your Doc with these types of questions.

I do recommend you start by checking your D levels using the 25-OH vitamin D test. This time of year (Fall – Winter) is the BEST time to get this done if you think your levels might be low.

Low D levels can lead to a whole host of health issues, so this test can be a great “early warning” indicator.
