I want to share an excerpt from an email that I have received from Dr. Eisenstein:
Sun Saves Lives in Epidemic
Facts suggesting that Vitamin D was somewhat protective against the Flu of 1918:
1. The mass of deaths in the Northern hemisphere occurred when Vitamin D levels were low (fall and winter).
2. While infection rates were similar for sailors and troops on infected troop transport ships, the sailors had 1/4 the mortality of the troops. One has to assume the 25(OH)D* of sailors aboard 1918 troop transport ships was higher than the troops inside.
3. Underground coal miners in North America had the highest mortality of any occupation.
4. Open air hospitals in North America allegedly had lower mortalities than regular hospitals.
5. Mortality for sailors at sea was markedly lower than sailors ashore, despite the crowded conditions on board.

Although these facts are in no way definitive, there seems to be a correlation between those getting more sun exposure and lower mortality from Flu.

* Elsewhere in the email Dr. Eisenstein states, "Get a Vitamin D blood test 25(OH)D."
Also in the email he states this:
Vitamin D, Probiotics, and Chicken soup have been effective in the past in combating viral infections like Flu. Our hope is that these remedies will continue to be effective.
