Did I ever mention Vitamin D?

Dr. Mercola is explaining it for us... it is really just this simple - I promise
To get the full story posted with this video go to:
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/12/03/How-to-Prevent-the-Flu-Easy-as-1-2-3.aspx

Dr. Mercola also shares this:
According to the CBS News study, when you come down with chills, fever, cough, runny nose, malaise and all those other "flu-like" symptoms, the illness is likely caused by influenza at most, 17 percent of the time, and as little as 3 percent! The other 83 to 97 percent of the time it's caused by other viruses or bacteria.

My simple and short answer for what is causing a cold or flu has always been that it’s due to an impaired immune system. That’s still true. However, research has confirmed that “catching” colds and flu may be a symptom of an underlying vitamin D deficiency! Less than optimal vitamin D levels will significantly impair your immune response and make you far more susceptible to contracting colds, influenza, and other respiratory infections.Although there are many ways you might end up with a weakened immune system, the more common contributing factors are:

• Vitamin D deficiency, as previously mentioned
• Eating too much sugar and too many grains
• Not getting enough sleep
• Insufficient exercise
• Inadequately managing emotional stressors in your life
• Any combination of the above 

In order to prevent the flu, children and adults need 35 IU of vitamin D per pound of body weight. So, for example, a child weighing 57 pounds would need 2,000 IU a day of vitamin D.

Adults typically need an average of 5,000 IU per day—but some adults have to take 20,000 to 30,000 IU daily to get their vitamin D level up to optimal levels. Exactly how adults absorb and process vitamin D so differently is still somewhat of a mystery, so the only way to know if your vitamin D level is therapeutic and nontoxic is by having your blood tested.

Thank you Dr Mercola!!!

Dr. Luis Ignarro on "What is Nitric Oxide"

Listen to the Nobel Laureate in Medecine; Dr. Louis Ignarro talk about Nitric Oxide

A word from the Nobel Prize Winner

On December 10th 1998, three Americans received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for discovering that the body uses Nitric Oxide gas to make blood vessels relax and widen. Dr. Louis J. Ignarro one of the laureate also wrote the book No more heart disease and he said:

"You do not have to wait for the rest of the world to see the light--and the drug companies to put new Nitric Oxide-based prescription drugs on the market--in order to take advantage of what Nitric Oxide has to offer. Even if you have high blood pressure, have suffered a heart attack, or are at high risk...You can beat the odds. The power to lead an entirely new and healthier life is in your hands. Carpe Diem--Seize the day! Start boosting your Nitric Oxide production right now!“

These are pictures from the Nobel Prize Organization's website (http://www.nobelprize.org) describing the NO effect with pictures.

So what has Arginine and Nitric Oxide in common?
Well Arginine is the precurser to Nitric Oxide, meaning that when taking Arginine it will convert to Nitric Oxide in the body. So therefore is Arginine so important in Cardio Vascular Health.
