More On Vitamin D and Flu
Dr. Cannell of the Vitamin D council has published a paper on
vitamin D and influenza (abstract here).
You can read the details of his hypothesis in less scientific terms
in the latest Vitamin D council newsletter. Cannell makes
a rather simple and obvious (it would seem) statement, "...American virologists
continue to ignore the most remarkable aspect of influenza - it kills us in the
winter but virtually disappears in the summer."
Now why do you suppose this is? Why do American virologists put so much faith in "boosting acquired immunity?" If I say it's the influence of the Pharmaceutical industry or simply the profit motive, will you accuse me of subscribing to vast conspiracy theories? Then how do you explain it?
