Bad Flu Season Has Americans Drinking Orange Juice Again
BOSTON (CBS) – American battling the flu have been on the hunt for Vitamin C.
Consumers bought nearly 39 million gallons of orange juice in January.
That’s the first time in almost five years that there’s been a year-over-year increase in orange juice sales, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Analysts expect the orange juice surge to end after flu season.
The Associated Press reported that this flu season is now as bad as the swine flu epidemic nine years ago. Some doctors say it’s the worst they’ve seen in decades.

Vitamin D Deficiency Likely Responsible For Flu Epidemic
Norwegian study: the vitamin has an antibiotic effect on the immune system Vitamin D deficiency is likely to blame for the flu epidemic that broke out last week in the Netherlands. The winter months are generally characterised by significantly low levels of this vitamin due to inadequate solar radiation. Research conducted by Norwegian scientists into flu epidemics specifically points to the presence of vitamin D in the body as being a crucial factor...

In silico analysis to compare the effectiveness of assorted drugs prescribed for swine flu in diverse medicine systems
Kalpana Raja, Archana Prabahar, Suganya Selvakumar, TK RajaIndian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences 2014 76(1):10-18The genome of the virus H1N1 2009 consists of eight segments but maximum number of mutations occurs at segments 1 and 4, coding for PB2 subunit of hemagglutinin. Comparatively less number of mutations occur at segment 6, coding for neuraminidase. Two antiviral drugs, oseltamivir and zanamivir are commonly prescribed for treating H1N1 infection. Alternate medical systems do compete equally; andrographolide in Siddha and gelsemine in Homeopathy. Recent studies confirm the efficacy of eugenol from Tulsi and vit...

The Critical Role EMS Plays in Fighting the Flu
Influenza has been impacting public health on a global scale since the beginning of recorded history. Influenza, also known as the “flu,” has numerous organizations committed to public health research, developing vaccines, and educating on best practices to prepare for the upcoming flu season. By gaining an understanding of the flu through history, virology, and how it impacts our society, we can have a better appreciation for the commitment that’s involved with combating the flu.

Vitamin D attenuates HMGB1-mediated neointimal hyperplasia after percutaneous coronary intervention in swine.
In this study, we examined the association of vitamin D status with high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1)-mediated pathways (HMGB1, receptor for advanced glycation end products [RAGE], and Toll-like receptor-2 and -4 [TLR2 and TLR4]) in neointimal hyperplasia in atherosclerotic swine following bare metal stenting. Yucatan microswine fed with a high-cholesterol diet were stratified to receive vitamin D-deficient (VD-DEF), vitamin D-sufficient (VD-SUF), and vitamin D-supplemented (VD-SUP) diet. After 6 months, PTCA (percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty) followed by bare metal stent implantation was performed in the lef...

This Is Exactly When You're More Likely To Catch The Flu
By Amanda MacMillan
Cases of flu are on the rise, according to a recent statement from the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and experts are warning that this year’s flu season will be worse than last. Now, a new study published in the Journal of Clinical Virology is shedding some light on exactly how cold weather and the spread of viruses are linked.
It turns out, seasonal flu outbreaks first appear each year about a week after the winter’s first cold spell — or at least that’s what happened in Sweden, over the course of three years when researchers tracked weather...

High-dose vitamin D 'doesn't prevent colds and flu in kids'
Conclusion
This study found giving a high dose of vitamin D to healthy children in the winter doesn't reduce their overall risk of upper airway infections compared with the standard recommended dose.
This well-designed study used several measures to ensure the results were robust. For example, researchers:
used randomisation to split the children into groups
blinded parents as to which treatment the child was receiving to make sure this knowledge couldn't affect their perception of their child's health
used laboratory tests to confirm that the child did have a viral infection
There was a reduction in flu with high-...

Want to Protect Yourself From Getting the Flu? Get Some Sunshine
By now, you probably know the tried-and-true flu prevention strategies: get vaccinated, wash your hands often and try to steer clear of folks who are sick. But new research says there may be another way to stay healthy, and it begins before flu season is even in full swing.
Spending more time in the sun in August and September, and thus absorbing more immune-system-boosting vitamin D, may help prevent the flu as fall progresses, according to a new working paper distributed by the National Bureau of Economic Research. A state that sees an unusually high number of sunny days in a given month, the paper says, can also expect ...

'Add vitamin D to food to prevent colds and flu', say researchers
Conclusion
This was a systematic review and meta-analysis investigating the use of vitamin D supplementation as a way of preventing acute respiratory tract infections such as flu, bronchitis and pneumonia.
The study found vitamin D supplementation to be useful in the prevention of acute respiratory tract infection. People who are very deficient in vitamin D and those receiving daily or weekly supplementation without additional large one-off doses had a larger benefit.
This study has both strengths and limitations. It is very well designed and includes high-quality evidence. The researchers made efforts to reduce the risk ...
