Editor's note: New York Times reported just minutes ago that President Barack Obama's daughters, Malia, 11 and Sasha, 8 have just been vaccinated against H1N1 or

I think Vit C seems to be good prevention tool in controlling flu viruses( as a non medical professional)

However, I have a strong feeling that h1n1 seems to be a creation of couple of desperate pharma honchos sitting in one boardroom somewhere near the sea beach.

After having completed the blue print in boardroom then the business model was discussed with other stake holders like media,equipment manufacturers for thermal imagery,test kits people and many more...

And once the product and modes operendi were finalised...so h1n1 was ready to be launched..

Any agency to investigate this???????????

This makes sense. Both vitamin D and vitamin C come from the sun. Colds and flu are more prevalent in winter months due to less sun.

I so agree. Man made. Just another way to keep us in check. Or a hand in our pockets. Divert attention off the wars & rescission? Someone somewhere felt we don't have enough on our plate. Why go to such measures? Population control? Keeping us in a constant state of fear? Makes you wonder what the bigger picture is.

Vitamine C does not come from the sun. In the case of human beings it comes from food.

Another thing. People should be careful with vitamine D. While megadose of vitamine C are safe, intake of vitamine D must be limited because it accumulates in the body (it is soluble in fat). Keep your intake below 1000 UI in the short term and no more than 400 UI in the long term.

I was happy yo see Jean-Simon's comments as these discussions often err on the side of the wacko-conspiritorial which does the cause of orthomolecular reason injustice, and with over-enthusiasm people end up hurting themselves. Although Jean-Simon might be more conservative than necessary he is right about his comments on vitamin C and that too much vitamin D is bad.

So I'm confused why the admin is so quick to disparage his comments, and frankly am confused about the admin's comments where in the same paragraph he states the upper limit of Vit D as 10,000 UI and then 4,000-6,0000 UI.

There is some interesting data suggesting that keeping your vitamin D level optimal will prevent colds, flu and in particular H1N1 (swine Flu).
Here are links to two interesting articles:
