>> the vitamin D hammer and influenza https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4463890/ > A colleague of mine and I have introduced vitamin D at doses that have achieved greater than 100 nmol/L in most of our patients for the past number of years, and we now see very few patients in our clinics with the flu or influenza like illness. In those patients who do have influenza, we have treated them with the vitamin D hammer, as coined by my colleague. This is a 1-time 50 000 IU dose of vitamin D3 or 10 000 IU 3 times daily for 2 to 3 days. The results are dramatic, with complete resolution of symptoms in 48 to 72 hours. One-time doses of vitamin D at this level have been used safely and have never been shown to be toxic.8 We urgently need a study of this intervention. |

Not to be glib, but isn't that about normal for the flu? The reason there's so many folk remedies is that you'll generally recover after a couple of days and attribute it to whatever you did in those days.
