My girlfriend with the PhD in immuniopathology that used to teach wannabe MD and nursing students.
It took years to get my platelets up to a normal level after AML. I don’t take any meds on a regular basis that may interfere with coagulation . Ie, ibuprofen, K, etc.
I take magnesium. But never K in any form. There seems to be a big push these days on K at every mention of D. Like the author, I feel it is not a ‘one size fits all’ supplement and is not necessary for most people.
You’re correct K does increase clotting.
You may want to have your parathyroid checked.
You may want to talk to the pharmacist about that. Studies have shown a single grapefruit can alter drug concentrations (of those specific meds that are effected by gf’s)
You don’t need to take vitamin k if you don’t take excess vitamin d.
The ideal blood level of vitamin d is 32 ng/ml. If it’s higher than that, the body starts eliminating it. People with a level of 32 ng/ml have higher testosterone than those with a higher or lower level.
I would think that my cardiologist would know.
Anyway, I’ve been taking it for 20 years and probably haven’t consumed a gallon of grapefruit juice in that length of time. I like it well enough, but OJ is my choice of breakfast beverage every day.
WOW!
Thank you so much for posting this.
Blood tests have repeatedly shown I have hypercalcemia, for at least the last 7 months.
Plus I have all the symptoms related to it. Including kidney stones. Tests and scans (including parathyroid) come up negative.
BUT.. I have for the past 2 years taken a D3 supplement daily with K2. Thought I was doing the right thing.
I am immediately going to stop the K2 and let my Dr know.
Praying this is the simple answer to my hypercalcemia.
Thank you again!
Excess vitamin d causes excess blood calcium. Your tongue might have calcium and look white.
i have had, normal- had thyroid checked too-
thanks, ill check that out- i definitely need some
thanks, ill give that a try-
Parathyroid? It’s completely different than thyroid.

I have had my d levels checked repeatedly. They are normal.
there’s extensive, peer reviewed research available in pubmed.gov regarding the essential role of K2 MK-7 (and MK-4 to a lesser extent) in keeping calcium in the bones and out of the tissues such as coronary, cranial and other arteries, which is extremely important since calcium is the primary component of most arterial plaques which cause atherosclerosis ...
my internal medicine MD is a big believer in the value of MK-7 supplementation, and in my case, my bypasses have stayed open and coronary artery disease progression has greatly slowed since i’ve been taking fairly large doses of MK-7 ...
i’ve done extensive research in pubmed.gov and talked to multiple doctors about the possible issue of MK-7 affecting coagulation, and not a single doctor had any concern about that, nor was there any evidence in any article that i could find in pubmed that MK-7 affected coagulation ...
I also take large doses of Vitamin D3, which is generally quite a safe thing to do, because D3 is not the active form of Vitamin D: D1 is the active form and the body must convert D3 into D1 by the removal of two hydroxyl groups, where the second hydroxyl removal, which converts D2 to D1, is under control of parathyroid hormone, which is the hormone that maintains the correct amount of D1 that the body needs ...
basically, Suzy Cohen is an ignorant huckster who’s primaryly interest is in selling her line of snake oil:

[i also take a few other useful supplements, namely a chelated magnesium, pantethine, Co-Q10, a chelated zinc, and a hefty dose of a high-quality, triglyceride-form of fish oil that contains concentrated DHA & EPA]
I’ve been telling this to people on here for some time. My symptom is whole bone pain. It also varies, it could be a finger bones or where ever. It usually is my right thigh bone. It is actually leaching calcium out of your bones and dropping it in your bloodstream. The same mechanism that kills mice and rats. My personal limit is 4,000iu of D3. I experience symptoms if I use it every day, so I’m sure it stacks. Generally I take only 1,000iu a day.

“In this lecture Professor Zach Murphy will present on the association between Vitamin D levels and COVID-19.”
That quote, is an understatement. Following the path of Zach Murphy’s video, detailing Vitamin D processing, will illustrate several of the virus and COVID-19 events about which, many people have concerns.
Some of the terms used in the video, up to around 28:40 minutes:
1-Alpha-Hydroxylase / 1, 25 DiHydroxyCholeCalciferol / 25 HydroxyCholeCalciferol / antigen / Antimicrobial / Beta Defensins / Cathelicidins / CD4 molecule / chemotaxis / cytokines / Interleukin 4 (also 5, 10, 12) / lysosome / Macrophage / MHC II molecule / Naive T Cell / peptides / phagocytosed / phagocytosis / phagolysosome / phagosome / proteolysis / ribosome / T Cell Receptor (TCR) / T Helper type 2 cell
