Thank you! I’m completely on board with this... you should do a podcast with Dave Asprey

Thank you. A very interesting theory that merits additional investigation.

I’ve added links to a some of the books, articles, and podcasts that got me thinking about K2 as a possible explanation for our explosion in heart disease.

A couple of years ago, I went on a low-carb diet. I lost 80 pounds, rid myself of GERD, sleep apnea, acanthosis nigricans, high blood pressure, etc. My blood sugars have normalized - post-prandials were over 170, now they’re 120-130, A1C is down below normal. And my trigs are well below 100.

Still, my LDL and TC are high, and I’m eating a lot of saturated fat. I heard Dr. Rhéaume-Bleue interviewed on the Livin La Vida Low Carb show, and started reading into the topic.

After that, I had a coronary heart scan done, and then started supplementing with K2. It’s been a bit more than a year, since them, and I plan on having another done soon.

My cholesterol numbers are still high enough to concern non-skeptics. But if my calcium scores come down in this next test, I’m going to ignore them.

Eric Berg, D.C. operates The Health and Wellness Center in Alexandria, Virginia, has been reprimanded, fined $1,500, and ordered to stop using and promoting Body ResponseTechnique (BRT), Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET), Contact Reflex Analysis (CRA), and testing with an Acoustic Cardiograph (ACG). BRT, NAET, and CRA involve bogus muscle tests that supposedly are related to body organs. The ACG is claimed to provide a "readable signature" of heart sounds" that is used to detect imbalances of body chemistry. The alleged problems are then corrected with dietary supplements. The consent agreement (shown below) notes that Berg had made many therapeutic claims that were not supportable by reasonable scientific or medical evidence. Surveys have found that over 40% of chiropractors have used muscle testing in similar ways, most notably as part of a system called applied kinesiology.

Dr. Berg and his wife are also Scientologists. There are many complaints from former patients who say they were not only ripped off by his quackery, but that they were also being groomed for and steered into Scientology.

I’ve got that book. The frustrating thing about getting a theraputic amount of K2 is, it’s primarily found in an obscure Japanese fermented food called Natto. It smells awful and most Americans gag on the smell. I’ve never found it, but have looked.

Natto also comes in a capsule. I take it every day.

Are their supplements that contain K2?

[hinckley buzzard]

Quack science marches on. When a talk begins with "My theory" instead of published findings you know you best guard your wallet.
