kim May 7, 2015 at 2:16 amAmazing how underestimated the power of D is. I can attest to the benefit of it. I recently added VitD supplementation back in January. I had the flu or a very bad cold 7 times in the course of 13 months, no lie, no exaggeration, SEVEN TIMES! Not just cough and sniffles, but knock down, dick-your-butt flu-like symptoms. It would drain me and take a few weeks to feel ‘normal again’ only to come down with another one not far after. I was able to keep working through all of this since I do medical transcription from home. But it was very frustrating especially since I eat clean, excercise and had added a lot of Vit C. It was also concerning because in my mind I was thinking ‘what on earth is WRONG with me? Am I dying? Was I exposed to black mold or WHAT? lol. Well I was researching online about supplements and hit an article about D which mentioned it is actually a type of hormone that helps regulate immunity. Then it finally dawned on me that my being a night shift/3rd shift worker could be a culprit. In retrospect, this whole flu-cold cycle had started right around the time I began this night job. Since I sleep during the day and rarely get outside in the sun (my friends jokingly call me a ‘vampyre’ lol) So I added 2000 units of D back in December. It is not May, no flu or cold yet! I would never had guessed a simple addition of D would make such a big difference in my life. Sometimes the solution to a problem or ailment is not as far off and complicated as we tend to think! Blessings to all!
