This means vitamin D was responsible for an absolute reduction of nearly 8 percent,” NaturalNews.com founder Mike Adams reported. “Flu vaccines, according to the latest scientific evidence, achieve a 1 percent reduction in influenza symptoms. This means vitamin D appears to be 800% more effective than vaccines at preventing influenza infections in children.”

Adams referred to a clinical trial conducted by the Division of Molecular Epidemiology in the the Department of Pediatrics at the Jikei University School of Medicine Minato-ku in Tokyo. The study found that vitamin D was extremely effective at halting influenza infections in children and was published in the March, 2010 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

According to Adams: “The results are from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 334 children, half of which were given 1200 IUs per day of vitamin D3. In other words, this was a Œrigorous¹ scientific study meeting the gold standard of scientific evidence.”
