Introduction and vitamin K!

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

I am new to this forum and from UK but have been a member of the Iodine Forum

for 2 years.

I am 48 and have had chronic fatigue for 20+  yrs It became much worse after my

3rd baby and a course of Hepatitis B vaccines in 1990 when I was nursing. 

I gave up on orthodox med a few years ago when I realised I was never going to

get anywhere as they refused to acknowledge anything wwas wrong and was " just

not very robust and should accept it " ! I didn't and wrote to the Brit Soc for

Eco Med and had a letter back telling me that I had multiple sensitivites which

was giving me the symptoms I had.

From that day I have not looked back my health is much better though I still

have some way to go.

I have a particular interest in nutrition in relation to autism, cfs, cancer,

electrosensitivity and mcs and yeast/fungal overgrowth.

Recently I was under the gynae for heavy bleeding as I have a small  uterine

polyp. He was keen to remove this but due to my reluctance to have any surgery

under GA I declined and he monitored this for 18 months and as I was then not

bleeding and the polyp had not changed I was discharged. The bleeding got worse

again until eventually it was so bad I was desperate for help as it was almost

impossible to manage and I was getting tired.

I put it all down to the menopause so began to research this and quickly

discovered (and also talking to a nutritionist) that vitamin K deficiency could

be my problem. Hey ho! It worked and the change has been quite dramatic. No

abnormal bleeding whatsoever and I dont think I am being too hasty in saying

this.

I have since researched even more and found that K2 and D3 is now thought to

prevent osteoporosis which my mother has and is on Warfarin which works by

stopping it working!.

The interesting thing is that I was ill for 6 weeks with salmonella when I was 7

and remember lots of foul tasting medicine. I think these were strong

antibiotics which gave me poor gut flora and the body makes its own (80%) of vit

K using good bacteria! I have always bruised easily and think this is why - have

been deficient for a long time.

I would suggest anyone with bleeding problems researches this. It also helps

with memory which was getting very bad.

K2/D3 works by putting calcium where it belongs in bones and teeth and not in

blood and tissues where it causes havoc especially in the brain!

I hope this helps someone!
