Dr. Mercola says "So far, Swine flu, H1N1, has killed thirty-six children in U.S. and analysis of CDC data indicates Vitamin D deficient children at higher risk of death. The CDC did not realize they discovered this. However, anyone familiar with the Vitamin D literature will recognize it.
Almost two-thirds of the dead children had epilepsy, cerebral palsy, or other neurodevelopmental conditions like mental retardation. All of these neurological conditions are associated with childhood Vitamin D deficiency. Exacerbating the problem further, many of these kids take anticonvulsant drugs, which lower Vitamin D levels." read more about this....

Connection Between Your Vitamin D Levels and Contracting the Flu
Just an ordinary woman, striving to be that "aged" woman of Titus 2..teaching the younger women good things: so that they may be sober, love their husbands, love their children, and to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands that the Word of God be not blasphemed.

Dear Mandy,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this article. Our family seems to be in the minority around our village...we do not get the traditional flu vaccines as many of our friends and family members do. Up to now, we have not worried about this...I truly cannot remember the last time either my husband or I had the flu, and I know that my three boys have never experienced it. But now with this swine flu scare, so many of our friends and family say that everyone needs to be vaccinated. So far we are not planning to be vaccinated...and I appreciated your article which I will share with my family and friends.
I was not surprised to read that many children have a vitamin D deficiency...so many of them spend such little time outdoors enjoying this beautiful world that God gave us. They spend the best hours of the day in school...and then come home to televisions, video games, and the internet. I thank God each and everyday that we homeschool and that He has provided us with a beautiful little coastal town to live in. I continually try to remind myself never to take His awesome gifts for granted.
By the way, I love your blogsite! I haven't worked up the courage to start one of my own yet...however, one of my older sons just started one after being encouraged by Mark Cowperthwaite...who I understand is a mutual friend of ours! We heard that they had a wonderful time at your home this summer, and that you and your family surely know the meaning of "loving thy neighbor". What a blessing you have been to so many!
May God continue to bless you and your family...I'll be checking back in soon to see what else you have on your blog!
God bless,
Laura
