D Dose Deterrent
Ed. reply: The CDC Web site states that 36,000 people per year die from “flu-related causes” in the United States. See the “Flu Basics” page at cdc.gov/flu.
Editor:
I would like to add to the list of preventative measures one can take to increase your defenses and decrease the chance of contracting swine flu, or any other flu.
Vitamin D levels typically fall off in the winter when you need them most! Taking Vitamins D (as 25-OH D-3) and A (as beta carotene or mixed carotenoids) will help your chances of fighting off a flu. They have many other health benefits. You can start these now to increase your levels for the upcoming season. If you have further questions, consult a pharmacist!
