My next echo is in April. if there is no change or narrowing is reversed, I’d be very surprised. Of course, I’ll be doing lots of other things so by no means, if it does impact circulation will the results be conclusive. Even Dr. Davis blogs about vitamin k2 and D supplements need much research.

More meats – still mostly muscle meats; more veggies – maybe a few new ones; and more fats – probably more of what we already liked. We totally delete all modern dairy (with good reason). But the traditional cultures studied by Weston A. Price used organ meats, marrow, bone broths, raw dairy, and sometimes even animal blood (ick) to stay unbelievably hearty and robust. From my self-experimentation, I believe that even a good Paleo-style diet can be deficient in many of the nutrients provided by these foods. How many of us eat liver? Fermented and cultured foods? How many of us are getting sufficient pre-formed Vitamin A or Vitamin K2?

My interest in K2 stems from my recent diagnosis by my new cardiologist - that my aortic valve is only opening 0.7cm vs 3cm fully. That started me on research to look for a way to stop or reverse the process. That led me to Dr James Howenstine's article, "Vitamin K2 Controls Removal OF Calcium from Arteries.........." published in NewsWithViews.com. I'm greatly impressed by both of you - in part - because you both reference many of the same studies. Dr Howenstine tells of the dangers of coumadin, which I have been on for almost 10 years because of chronic AF. He also states it is easy to withdraw from coumadin and cites a number of supplements and dosages as substitutes. I'm now in the process of weening myself off coumadin. If you can recommend any specific supplements, I'd appreciate your recommendations. I'd like to add a few comments to your blog (feel free to edit any of the above): nattokinase is one of the best sources of K2 and most nattokinase on the market is devoid of it; one of your questioners complained of bone spurs and asks if D3 would help. Your answer refers to K2. I don't believe D3 contains K2. Many thanks for a very informative column. browny Dear Chris, I recently came across your site while googling info re K 2 in low fat Edam vs ordinary Edam.

I have rhumatoid arthritis which I am controlling myself without drugs by living on mostly raw foods with plenty of vegetable juices. I have had a bone scan and it has shown that I have bone thinning.I do take a calcium supplement in the form of Lifestream natural calcium. I want to take vitamin K2 in the form of natto capsules. Would it be safe to stop the asprin. If so would I wait a day or so before starting to take the K2.Thanks Hi Chris, I am taking asprin because I have had a blood clot in my leg which travelled to my lung.

Also, in the checkout they have an area for coupons. Do you know of any discounts on the product now that I could use? I realize this blog is for K2 but could you direct me to a blog that specifically talks about FCOL/butter oil and its benefits. Thanks Hi Chris,
