Vitamin D to the rescue!

I have been utterly amazed at our winter thus far. I had done some research in the fall when h1n1 was all the rage and we chose not to do the vaccination for it about which I'm am even more resolved after all of the news about it. Anyway, we chose to do a rigorous regimen of vitamin D instead. I have been taking 10,000 units a day for myself and the babes who are getting it through the breastmilk. The older boys take 5,000 units every-other day and Tim is SUPPOSED to take 5,000 units a day. He didn't. Guess who got sick...a lot. Tim spent several days this winter sick enough to be in bed for a few days at a time. The kids and I got a case of the sniffles one day and it was so minor that it was hardly noticeable. It's amazing to me that the vitamin D made such a huge difference in our health. I'm totally sold!
