Kawasaki disease describes the condition that occurs when the small and medium-sized arteries in the body are inflamed, especially the arteries supplying the heart.

The disease is nearly always seen in children under the age of 5 and rarely occurs in adults.

The symptoms of Kawasaki include high fever, Skin rash, mouth ulcers, enlarged lymph glands and swollen toes and fingers.

Studies have implicated viruses as a cause of Kawasaki disease. The symptoms of the disease also suggest a viral infection.

A 2014 study published in the Journal of the Formosan Medical Association found that children diagnosed with Kawasaki disease also had common respiratory viruses such as adenovirus, rhinovirus and coronavirus.

The best way to fight viruses is to keep the immune system healthy. Viruses typically target those with a weakened or compromised immune system.
One of the simplest and most effective ways to boost the immune system is to take Vitamin D.

And it would be best if you took a good dose of vitamin D. Unfortunately the recommended dose of Vitamin D, which is 400 – 800 IU daily is grossly inadequate for your health.

On a beautiful summers day, the body can make up to 20,000 IU of Vitamin D from sunlight.

Researchers have shown that the correct daily dose of Vitamin D should be between 5,000 – 15,000 IU depending on a person’s state of health, body size and location.
