I've read a couple of articles on how they believe that Vit D also is huge in fighting off the flu and other icky virus's.

My doctor put me on 5000IU of Vitamin D per day in November 2008 after my D3 level came back at about 18. My only symptom was excrutiating pain from head to toe that was getting worse by the day. Hard to believe that was the cause, but it was and I feel so much better now.
