Study:
sunlight may defeat the winter flu
Believed to new research published in the Journal of Epidemiology and infection in December that the flu infection that spread in the winter it is only the result of a direct result of the lack of exposure to sunlight for adequate periods.
This research looks interesting, especially since the cause of the spread of the flu in the winter as long as the cause of confusion and frustration for researchers in the field of infectious diseases. And increase the intensity of infection with influenza, especially in the last months of winter.
This research may help save many lives, where about one million die annually as a result of the flu and related illnesses can also fight epidemics such as what happened in 1918 when millions died as a result of outbreak of a deadly form of flu.
In 1981 spoke English epidemiologist Edgar Simpson about the possibility of a link flu depending on solar radiation throughout the chapters, but no one was يعره attention. But with the advancement of research evidence has emerged that vitamin D, which result from skin exposure to the sun has a key role in the strength of the body's immune system.
Today, after 25 years, U.S. researchers to re-examine Simpson's theory about the flu affected by climate sun with different chapters.
Says Dr. Edwin Kilbourne, a professor at the Faculty of Medicine of New York that winter brings with it many of the factors affecting the influenza infection, including what is social overcrowded at home and not go out and collect children at school age in school and adults to work as the case of low air humidity is relatively serve virus flu.
"But there is more than environmental factors" also confirms Dr. Kalportn. "The My Experiments in mice showed that even after controlling environmental factors such as overcrowding and the humidity factor associated with climate chapters completely separate from the above factors affect the transmission."
With Dr. John Canl believes from Atasskadiro Hospital in California, a lead author of the new research and executive director of the U.S. non-profit called the Vitamin D Council ... Believed that vitamin D is the missing link.
And refers Canl to study in St. Petersburg in Russia and then re-tested in Krasnodar in Russia also showed that young people who have undergone flu vaccination showed immune reactions such as fever with the onset of winter more than eight times that of the summer.
Another study has shown that children in India and below the rates of vitamin D have 10 nanograms per milliliter were more susceptible to respiratory infection eight times who have high levels of vitamin itself.
The also Canl that studies since 1930 have shown that eating cod liver rich in vitamin reduce infection by 50% in adults who ate them every day for four months.
Canl he says, "Once a few minutes of sun bath in the summer Our bodies are made about 20,000 international units (500 micrograms) of vitamin D ... we can configure the objects of large amounts of vitamin quickly ... There is no doubt that this is going to an important cause." It is known that vitamin D is crucial to regulating the absorption of calcium in the blood and bone formation, but the Canl believed that the role of the vitamin in the immune equally important.
But Kilbourne remain unconvinced. "I have an open mind to the study, but so far no one offers convincing evidence." But he stresses that its own mice expressed affected chapters despite Konhave the basement far from the sun's rays.
And believes pediatrics specialist at the University of California said the new study increases more questions than answers. "But it is the premise of easy validated experimentally organization."
It seems that Canl Egypt to hold that experience.
"I think that it is too early because doctors are advised to use vitamin D as a preventative treatment against influenza." But Canl himself is not willing to risk it takes 125 micrograms of the vitamin daily during the winter season, an amount far greater than recommended by health authorities the U.S. He also advised doctors searching for a lack of vitamin D in their patients and treat this deficiency immediately.
