(NaturalNews) If scientists discovered something that worked better than

vaccines at preventing influenza, you'd think they would jump all over it,

right? After all, isn't the point to protect children and adults from

influenza?

A clinical trial led by Mitsuyoshi Urashima and conducted by the Division

of Molecular Epidemiology in the the Department of Pediatrics at the Jikei

University School of Medicine Minato-ku in Tokyo found that vitamin D was

extremely effective at halting influenza _infections_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/infections.html) in children. The trial appears in

the March, 2010

issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (Am J Clin Nutr (March

10, 2010). doi:10.3945/ajcn.2009.29094)

The _results_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/results.html) are from a

randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 334 children, half

of which were given 1200 IUs per day of _vitamin D3_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/vitamin_D3.html) . In other words, this was a

" rigorous " scientific

study meeting the gold standard of _scientific evidence_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/scientific_evidence.html) .

In the study, while 31 of 167 children in the placebo group contracted

_influenza_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/influenza.html) over the four month

duration of the study, only 18 of 168 children in the vitamin D group did.

This means vitamin D was responsible for an absolute reduction of nearly 8

percent.

Flu _vaccines_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/vaccines.html) , according to

the latest scientific _evidence_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/evidence.html) ,

achieve a 1 percent reduction in influenza symptoms

(_http://www.naturalnews.com/029641_v..._

(http://www.naturalnews.com/029641_vaccines_junk_science.html) ).

This means vitamin D appears to be 800% more effective than vaccines at

preventing influenza infections in children.

To further support this, what really needs to be done is a clinical trial

directly comparing vitamin D supplements to influenza vaccines with four

total groups:

Group #1 receives a vitamin D placebo

Group #2 receives real vitamin D (2,000 IUs per day)

Group #3 receives an influenza vaccine injection

Group #4 receives an inert injection

Groups 1 and 2 should be randomized and double blind while groups 3 and 4

should also be randomized and double blind. The results would reveal the

comparative effectiveness of vitamin D versus influenza vaccines.

Unfortunately, such a trial will never be conducted because vaccine

pushers already know this trial would show their vaccines to be all but

_useless_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/useless.html) . So they won't subject vaccines

to any real science that compares it to vitamin D.

_Vitamin D_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/Vitamin_D.html) also significantly

reduced _asthma_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/asthma.html) in children

Getting back to the study, another fascinating result from the trial is

that if you remove those children from the study who were already being given

vitamin D by their parents, so that you are only looking at children who

started out with no vitamin D supplementation before the trial began, the

results look even better as vitamin D reduced relative _infection_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/infection.html) risk by nearly two-thirds.

More than six out of ten children who would have normally been infected

with influenza, in other words, were protected by vitamin D supplementation.

Also revealed in the study: vitamin D strongly suppressed _symptoms_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/symptoms.html) of asthma. In children with a

previous asthma diagnosis, 12 of those receiving no vitamin D experienced

asthma

attacks. But in the vitamin D group, only 2 children did.

While this subset sample size is small, it does offer yet more evidence

that vitamin D prevents asthma attacks in children, and this entirely

consistent with the previous evidence on vitamin D which shows it to be a

powerful

nutrient for preventing asthma.

Vaccine pushers aren't followers of real science

Now, given that vitamin D3 shows such a powerful effect in preventing

influenza -- with 800% increased efficacy over vaccines -- shouldn't CDC

officials, _doctors_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/doctors.html) and health

authorities be rushing to recommend vitamin D before flu season arrives?

Of course they should. But they won't. Because for them, it's not about

actually preventing influenza and it never has been. The vaccine pushing camp

is primarily interested in using influenza as an excuse to vaccinate more

people regardless of whether such vaccines are useful (or safe).

Even if vitamin D offered 100% protection against all influenza

infections, they still wouldn't recommend it.

Why? Because they flatly don't believe in nutrition! It runs counter to

their med school programming which says that nutrients are useless and only

drugs, vaccines and surgery count as real _medicine_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/medicine.html) .

The vaccine pushers, you see, aren't followers of real science. You could

publish a hundred studies proving how vitamin D is many times more

effective than vaccines and they still would never recommend it.

They are promoters of medical dogma rather than real solutions for

patients. They promote vaccines because... well... that's what they've always

promoted, and that's what their colleagues promote. And how could so many smart

people be wrong, anyway?

But that's the history of science: A whole bunch of really smart people

turn out to be wrong on a regular basis. That's usually how science advances,

by the way: A new idea challenges an old assumption, and after all the

defenders of the old (wrong) idea die off, science manages to inch its way

forward against the hoots and heckles of a determined dogmatic resistance.

This attitude is blatantly reflected in a quote from Dr Oxford, a

professor of virology at Queen School of Medicine in London, whose

reaction to this study was: " This is a timely study. It will be noticed by

scientists. It fits in with the seasonal pattern of flu. There is an increasing

background of solid science that makes the vitamin D story credible. But

this study needs to be replicated. If it is confirmed we might think of giving

vitamin D at the same time as we vaccinate. "

(_http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/ne..._

(http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/scotland/article7061778.ece) )

Did you notice his concluding remark? He wasn't even considering the idea

that vitamin D might replace vaccines. Rather, he's assuming vitamin D

only has value if given together with vaccines!

You see this in the cancer _industry_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/industry.html) , too, with anti-cancer herbs and

nutrients. Any time an anti-cancer

nutrient gains some press (which isn't very often), the _cancer_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/cancer.html) doctor will say things like, " Well,

this

might be useful to give to a patient after chemotherapy... " but never as a

replacement for chemo, you see.

Many mainstream doctors and medical scientists are simply incapable of

thinking outside the very limiting boxes into which their brains have been

shoved through years of de-education in medical schools. When they see

evidence contrary to what they've been taught, they foolishly dismiss it.

" The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever

that it is not utterly absurd; indeed in view of the silliness of the majority

of mankind, a widespread belief is more likely to be foolish than

sensible. " - Bertrand

Medical journals as guardians of ignorance

Medical journals largely function not as beacons of scientific truth but

as defenders of pseudoscientific dogma. To have your _paper_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/paper.html) published in most journals, your paper

must meet

the expectations and _beliefs_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/beliefs.html) of

that journal's editor. Thus, the advancement of scientific knowledge

reflected in each journal is limited to the current beliefs of just one person

-- the editor of that journal.

Truly pioneering research that challenges the status quo is almost always

rejected. Only papers that confirm the presently-held beliefs of the

journal's editorial staff are accepted for publication. This is one reason why

medical science, in particular, advances so slowly.

Studies that show vitamin D to be more effective than vaccines will rarely

see the light of day in the scientific community. It is to the great

credit of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, in fact, that it accepted

the publication of this paper by Mitsuyoshi Urashima. Most _medical

journals_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/medical_journals.html) wouldn't dare

touch

it because it questions status quo beliefs about vaccines and influenza.

Medical journals, you see, are largely funded by the pharmaceutical

industry. And Big Pharma doesn't want to see any studies lending credibility to

vitamins, regardless of their scientific merit. Even if vitamin D could save

America billions of dollars in reduced _health_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/health.html) care costs (which it can, actually),

they don't want vitamin

D to receive any scientific backing whatsoever because drug companies

can't patent vitamin D. It's readily available to everyone for mere pennies a

day.

In time, it will be recognized as superior to vaccines for seasonal flu,

but for now, we must all suffer under the foolish propaganda of an industry

that has abandoned science and now worships a needle.
