Cytokine Storm & Vitamin D relationship?

Re: Cytokine Storm & Vitamin D relationship?

Would you agree that if you were a sailor in 1918, you would be exposed to a lot of sun light? (Except if you were to shuffle coal all the time.)

How come there were so many flu out brakes on ships reported in 1918 ?

I guess the food was a lot less healthy on ships than for farmers who were exposed a lot to the sun as well?

If I remember well, the flu-VitD relationship was found by comparing the 1918 city vs farm death rates, right?
 
Re: Cytokine Storm & Vitamin D relationship?

I have to say, I do not think Vitamin D helped my son. June19, he tested as Total D, 25 OH as 21 (D2-8, D3-13). This would be, according to the lab, in the insufficient range. June30, I began him on 1,000IU a day and encouraged more time in the sun. I got a script on July13, and he began 50,000IU twice a week. He had been doing this up to Oct27 when he became ill (headache, coughing, 103.6F, body pains, and stuffy nose). I have not had his levels checked again, but one would think they would have gone up in this 3-4 month period of time.

But, then again, perhaps he would have had many complications. He is 21, obese, asthmatic. The Tamiflu helped bring temp down for a couple of days when Tylenol/Ibuprofen combo would not--then almost too low at 96.6F yesterday.
