why would governments fail to properly test swine flu for efficacy?

Once you understand how epidemic influenza can easily be prevented and cured there is no need for vaccines.

Vitamin D levels greatly impact the immune system and the susceptibility to infection and viruses. One's body produces vitamin D only when the skin is exposed sunlight and thus vitamin D levels fall during the winter causing cold and flu season. If the people in charge of our health had any competence at all and cared more about our health than pharmaceutical profits they would be encouraging people to go lay out in the sun or to be swallowing vitamin D capsules.

Incidence of reported cold/influenza symptoms according to season. The 104 subjects in the placebo group (light shade) reported cold and flu symptoms year around with the most symptoms in the winter. While on 800 IU per day (intermediate shade) the 104 test subjects were as likely to get sick in the summer as the winter. Only one of the 104 test subjects had cold/influenza symptoms during the final year of the trial, when they took 2,000 IU of vitamin D per day (dark shading).

The following article is from the Bird Flu several years ago but the same treatment works with any type flu.

Treatment of the Bird Flu with massive doses of ascorbate would be the same as any other flu except that the severity of the disease indicates that it may take unusually massive doses of ascorbic acid orally or even intravenous sodium ascorbate. (Why the dose needed is somewhat proportional to the severity of the disease being treated is discussed in my paper published in 1981, Titrating to Bowel Tolerance, Anascorbemia, and Acute Induced Scurvy.) I have not seen any flu yet that was not cured or markedly ameliorated by massive doses of vitamin C but it is possible that the bird flu may require even higher doses such as 150 to 300 grams a day. Additionally, this flu could be primarily respiratory. This means that hospitalization might be necessary. If massive doses of ascorbate are not used, they may not be adequate. Most hospitals will not allow adequate doses of ascorbate to be given. (This is a legal problem because adequate doses of ascorbate are not practice of the community.) Therefore, it may be up to the individual patient to have materials available for their own use. These doses are easily tolerated by most but are much higher than doses thought high by 99.9% of the population. Therefore, be very careful to read and understand this site. If you want to use this ascorbate treatment in case you come down with this flu, please read all this now and be prepared. I have seen runs on the market before with flues and you might not be able to buy ascorbic acid or have some physician give you sodium ascorbate intravenously when you need it. Also, if you are not experienced with taking massive doses of ascorbic acid, practice before you have to. Ascorbic acid is usually well tolerated by young people but it may be that if you have the slightest thing the matter with your stomach, esophagus or intestines, you better work with this before a crisis occurs and you have problems that you find too late. Some people will have minimal gastritis that is no symptomatic and not even know it. So practice and get help if you need it before a crisis.

I took D3 this winter and took Omega3's the last couple of years and never had the seasonal depression that I've had every winter for decades.. flu doesn't bother me much either, I've been taking vitamins for a decade and really, I don't think I've had an illness, nothing memorable at least..

150-300 grams of Vitamin C, that's nearly a third of a kilo of the stuff, what form is it in? It should be like a loaf of bread or something, or liquid, capsules are a half gram or so...

How many IU of D3 were you taking during the winter, I take 3000-4000 IU in the winter per day.

150-300 grams of Vitamin C may be necessary when someone is very ill with the flu. When I am in good health more than 1 gram every 4 would cause me to reach bowel tolerance. Vitamin C comes in capsules up to 1 gram and in powder form that can be dissolved in fruit juice. When someone is ill it can be given intravenously.

Still an important page as flu season in the US begins, with all the domestic "news" and advert terrorism from the media shills. I used to get respiratory illness all the time living in the far north, now I don't as I moved to 1200 iu, then better, 2000 iu vitamin D. I take 100mcg - 250 mg extra vitamin K1 to go with D, with a no iron multi, 2.4 cents. I take these along with selenium and C, taking gram tablets of C 4 to 5 times for more steady blood levels. Saved a bundle on medical bills (and years alive) that otherwise progressed to secondaries treated with steroids(!) and super antibiotics after several weeks deterioration. My elders now take 5000 iu D3 in winter.

I am getting ready to go to 200 mcg K1 + 200 mcg K2 tablets semi-permanently to complement the vitamin D.
