19-10-2009 - No Flu shot... Sunshine instead! Warm and fuzzy...My mood while writing this blog:
Warm and fuzzy...



I wanted to share with you all about the benifits of sunshine. I was talking with a friend of mine, who has 2 kids. I ask everyone if they are getting the flu shot or H1N1 vaccine. She said, "Don't you dare take it!" She sent me these articles about the benifits of vitamin D. I'm not sure if the supplements are safe, but I've chosen a safer route... Sunshine. She told me to sit in the sunshine everyday for like 30 minutes, or until your skin gets pink. And that will be your daily dose of vitamin D. It's been chilly here lately, but as soon as I sit for a few minutes I warm up. I slowly expose my skin, making sure I'm warm enough. Not too much, I've got neighbors. Just as much of my legs as possible, my arms, my tummy, my face and neck. She did that during both of her pregnancies and did not get sick. I even feel better after sunbathing.

Read the articles. They are very interesting. I want to do whatever I can naturally to fight off illnesses. I don't want to turn to vaccines or drugs.

We have to make the best decision for ourselves, but I want to be super educated. I will not get the vaccines, regular flu shot or the H1N1. But that is my choice. Bring on the sunshine. =)

I totally agree and am getting alot of flack about my decision from many family members. I am so sick of hearing them tell I have to get this shot just because I am pregnant, or that my son really needs it being in school around so many kids all day. I flat out refuse and will not give in to all the pressure. We are a family that spends alot of time outside and don't get sick very often so I think I'll take my chances.

Vitamin D IS very benificial in may ways, since I am not pregnant anymore and live in Utah where the snow is about to start flying I take vitamin D suplements (2000 IU's) per day. Some of the best benifits are good mood, more energy, helps immune system, protects against forms of breast cancer and the list goes on and on. Good for you for researching alternatives since I think we should all go back to basics sometimes. With proper immune support and hand washing you should be okay. Good luck and happy sun bathing!
