But you don't see the news broadcasts telling people to supplement with vitamin D to fight flu now do you? No, no, they give you the impression that the flu vaccine is the only way to avoid sickness because big pharma cannot patent vitamin D (or other natural remedies), which is readily available and quite cheap and could (gasp) compete with vaccines.

I hear newscasts and radio programs always espousing the benefits of taking vitamins.
I wonder how much Vitamin manufacturers are making from this?
recent estimates
have the USA spending $70Billion per year on supplements and upwards of $35Billion on Chiro's, alternative health.
