My aortic valve was replaced in 2012 with a tissue valve. In 2015 I was told the new valve was calcified and there was severe aortic stenosis. The cardiologist was ready to send me to surgery as soon as I started showing symptoms which he expected to be within weeks. After only 3 years since my initial surgery, I didn’t want to go through it again. I did my research and started taking K2. I saw the cardiologist every three months, and each time he told me I should go to see the surgeon. He told me to stop taking the K2 since it wasn’t prescribed. I ignored his advice and after nine months I told him I wanted to wait for my annual echo to see if there was any improvement. He told me that was a waste of time.

I got the echo and it showed that the calcification and stenosis were gone. I still take K2 and the valve is still working normally.

THIS! You saved yourself!

I just put up another thread describing the need to move towards incremental Vitamin K use for people such as yourself.
