I just wanted to add my voice to the many wishing NIN a speedy recovery, and thanking you for letting this little GLP family know that one of our own needs our positive energy.

Hang in their girls, we women can be really strong when we need to be.

Ask the doctors lots of questions, don’t let them just skip out of the room, and see if they will let her have some Vitamin D3 capsules, which are beneficial in the immune system.

Give them this article to read…

“The role of vitamin D deficiency in sepsis and potential therapeutic implications.”

“Patients with sepsis have a high mortality rate as well as a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency. In addition, septic patients have decreased vitamin D binding protein levels which further exacerbates vitamin D deficiency. Therapy with vitamin D in animal models of sepsis improves blood coagulation parameters in disseminated intravascular coagulation and modulates levels of systemic inflammatory cytokines including TNF-α and IL-6. Vitamin D can enhance the induction of the antimicrobial peptides cathelicidin and β-defensin which are found on mucosal and epithelial surfaces and act as the body's first line of defense against viral and bacterial pathogens.”
