should be above 60 ng/ml

Expand full comment

Thank you for the clarification. Info I got from the provider that tested was:

Deficient <20 ng/mL

Insufficient 20-<30 ng/mL

Sufficient 30-100 ng/mL

I had previously heard much higher than 30, but couldn't remember exact number, so I just said "well above." 60 ng/mL it is and that's where it will stay despite my internist thinking 1000 IUs was too much (I was taking 7000 in winter and now take 5000). I hear Fauci takes 6000.

I take 10,000 IU most days and my vitamin D level is over 90, and I have not had COVID

If you are taking Vitamin D you should be taking Vitamin K2 with it. The ratio is 10,000 IU Vit D/100 mcg Vitamin K2. K2 moves calcium from where it shouldn't be deposited to where it should be in the bones and teeth.

I am taking vit K2 for several reasons. Please do not think that I know less about nutrition and health than you do.

are you referring to this video link? the speaker is a functional medicine school founder...

further, it may be worth noting that i can't provide links about adverse effects on my post, because my source is my professional/ subscription-only service, Clinical Pharmacology (CP)... the only one i didn't mention from the adverse effects on CP's list is DEATH from cardiac and renal effects... also IRRITABILITY is on the list... oh! the stories i could tell!

if you want to email me, i could email a picture of the printout of adverse effects that i started reckoning with in 2017, which has references, if you want to email me?

what about this?

D3/K2/magnesium ALL are required in combo:

Experts are saying D level around 50 prevents viral infections, but they need to mention K2 (keeps calcium in the bones, prevents calcification of blood vessels and joints, etc) and magnesium (to prevent muscle cramps) are required for proper benefits, otherwise, D3 alone in high doses (>1000 i.u./ day,  depending whom you ask) can turn bones into "Swiss cheese," through a process called bone resorption, can cause dry mouth/thirst, constant urination/bladder issues, severe constipation, irregular heart rhythms, irritability, kidney stones, etc! this webinar was really helpful...

p.s. i don't diagnose or prescribe, and i never gave/got any clot shots

My understanding is that these 3 inexpensive daily Suppz work in perfect harmony with each other. The entire body and brain enjoys this benefit. Especially for folks who do weekly "strength training" of cardio or long and short muscle fiber tissues/ joint support. Plus if you have not had a CAC score for calcification inside of your heart, I would recommend this as a great bench mark to establish your possibility of any heart disease moving forward. These 3 can assist to prevent Arteriosclerosis.

Our knowing that a greater "immune" system requires the best pulmonary and cardio highways to carry out a thousand tasks moment by moment. Suppz work!

Add zinc to that list.

Thanks. Bookmarked. I already take magnesium. I'll take a look at K2 and cod liver oil as providing a lot of cofactors. Also will be more aware of summer sun exposure.

There are some excellent videos on Vitamin K2. I like Dr. Susan K. Brown, Dr Berg and Dr Ekberg. All on YouTube.

Oh, this is so cool!! Every RN ( on my X-mas card list) & all 4 siblings & 2 sons are proVax. Strange times. all thinking friends mightily appreciated!

I was pro-vax back in 2020. I have always been pro-vaccination. I remember polio as I am sure you do. Vaccinations were a godsend then.

I volunteered to be in the Pfizer Phase 3 trials and was so proud because I felt I was doing a service to my fellow man.

I follow all the information on COVID and the "vaccines" and have long been against them now. I cautioned my son and DIL not to get vaccinated. They have not and have no intention of having their two small girls vaccinated either. I saw the FDA has approved the Pfizer vaccine for children as young as 6 months old. Gov. DeSantis of Florida is the ONLY governor who has refused the vaccines for young children. All the other 49 states are falling right in line.

The truth is slowly trickling out about the danger of these mRNA vaccines, thanks to brave people like Dr. Malone, Dr. McCullough, Dr. Cole, Dr. Kory, Dr. Kheriaty, and so many others. Many of these doctors have lost their practices, been denied hospital privileges, lost their university teaching positions, and may lose their license to practice depending on the state they are in.

Many younger RN's who refused to be vaccinated have lost their jobs. This is insanity on the grand scale. It's a mind disease on an international scale. People are so gullible.

You’ve heard/read Dr. Mattis Desmet. He does make sense, it certainly seems to me.

He did a Headwinds documentary with Dr. Malone and Geert Vanden Bossche. You can see it on EpochTV. I bought his new book, "The Psychology of Totalitarianism." I haven't started it yet and may find out it isn't too much different from Eric Hoffer's "The True Believer."

Thanks. Judging from this article (https://www.webmd.com/diet/foods-high-in-vitamin-k2) I'm likely getting enough K2 from the cheese I eat everyday. I see it calls out Natto as the top source. Interestingly nattokinase has been cited as potentially helpful in the breakup of fibrin, which is a component of the stringy clots embalmers have been finding.

Dr. Susan K. Brown says we need 180 mcg of Vit K2 daily. She prefers the MK-7 form of the vitamin. Other research I have done says the ration is 100 mcg Vit K2 to 10,000IU Vit D3. If you are getting Vit K2 from your food you have no idea how much you are getting. It's not consistent either unless you eat the same amounts of those foods every day.

I take Vit K2 supplement. It's inexpensive and I know how much I am taking each day.
