More Vitamin D and liposomal C, Mary. Since I began a daily dose of vitamin D (5000 IU) I have not been sick once (I also spend 12 hours a day in the sun for 9 months of the year). Sometimes I get the first tickle as if a cold is coming on but then I add 50mg of zinc and its gone in a day.
Previously Id get a massive cold in November/early December and then again in March. I always figured it was the wet damp + weather changes associated with winter in Michigan. Now I know it was a weak immune response. Vitamin D/C fixed that.
Last D check I had during blood work my number was around 78 if I remember correctly. I think if you are north of 60 your are golden.
Another benefit of D is no low grade depression associated with the "winter blues". This cabin fever is associated with low D.
I do miss my wife babying me when I was sick though ;)
Thank you. I take Vitamin D3 twice a week. 1000 IU units per caplet a week. Doctor never told me how much or how often. Just like she told me to take Calcium so I wouldn't get Osteoporosis. Guess what? I took an overload as I always thought Calcium was good for you, but NO too much is bad for your heart. So now I don't take it at all. Anyway, I used to get a flu shot but since the Covid, I will no longer be taking those. I suppose you know I keep my grandkids throughout the week. Still have an almost 4 year old at home but she will be attending Head Start next week M-T. Fridays will be mine and hers and she will only go those 4 days for about 4 hours. These kids catch everything and school only started. They bring home every disease imaginable. Wish me luck for the schoolyear.
It sounds like you have everything under control. And God bless your wife. I had no intention of keeping my grandkids, but my son and his wife could find no one else. So I've had the almost 4 year old since she was 5 weeks old. Looks like it's a lifetime commitment for me. I would love to stay home and rest among other things, but I guess God has other plans for me. Have a blessed day. Time for me to leave. It's almost 5:30 am my time.

My wife has sat with all our grandkids during the week (she retired early just to do so) and even with all that ick that kids get, I never got sick.
I was my own control group. The difference between me not taking D/C and me taking it, is stark.
