People taking high doses of vitamin D should be taking K2 also. See the info in post 128.
I know you are, Bill.
However, wild hemlock, or pokeweed, here in the South have very similar looking berries. The leaf on pokeweed is much bigger and broader. If you consume pokeweed berries, you will die.
Pokeweed berries:
Thanks. I just looked at my bottle of K2 and (fortuitously) have MK7.
Some schools closed in my area too. All being disinfected.
Thanks. I know about 'Polk Salad' and do know the difference between the two. They do grow in close proximity on my trails.
I take all kinds of vitamins, don’t smoke, took the shot and still got it. Doc told me there are something like 29 strains but the shot only covers 4. But like you, I refused to take it for years because it gave me a bad case of the flu everytime. But once I passed 65 I decided I’d better stop taking the chance. I do believe this is going to be the worse year since 1918 mostly because of open borders and wide open immigration.
That miniseries intro was particularly memorable, with the Blue Oyster Cult music swelling as the camera pans in on the guard shack.
Yikes. I’d definitely ask the doctor about taking K if I were you.
My dad was on warfarin for a while and his doctor did stuff to adjust his dose based on INR vs. what he ate (ie, greens).
I have no idea about eliquis.
We actually make sure we get both the MK4 and MK7 varieties. They are both bioactive and have slightly different modes of action.
FWIW I think it’s the MK7 that’s worked against the cavities.
Usually we take 10K IU of D3 during cold/flu season and 5K IU during the summer.
This year we ran out at the end of the summer and just managed to totally forget to reorder it.
We won’t be doing that again.
And yes, when we got out of the doctor’s office we went by Walgreens and got more right then. We took 50K IU when we got home and 10K IU a couple of times the next day. I continued to take the D3 for a week or so afterward. I am the sickliest one in the house and any chest congestion tends to turn to pneumonia for me.
We started the D3 on a Tuesday afternoon. By Thursday morning we had no fever or aches at all.
We continue to take 10K IU daily for now. Plus our K supplement.
I’ve tried to encourage the niece to take D3 since she works with the public. To no avail. It’s ‘OTC supplement voodoo’ (her words).
The 100 Year Spanish Flu?
What’s IU?
International Unit.
It’s a dose measurement.
Most D3 capsules are 5000 IU each.
Occasionally you can find other dosages.
You are right to wait! Our doctor told my husband that he probably caught it IN THEIR WAITING ROOM when he was there a couple of weeks ago for a sinus infection. We are taking extra Vitamin D.
I have never even so much as seen an actual Elderberry in the wild or in a store, so I have never personally eaten one.
My mom, who is big on alternative health, educated me about Sambucs a number of years ago.
I thought it was delicious, and it made me not sick any more rather quickly. This stuff works, I swear by it. Maybe it saved my life this time, I don’t know, because this sickness I have was on its way into my chest the night i got my box of medicine, and the next day it was no longer.
Dunno if it would have killed me, probably not, but who knows.
What I did when it got a bit warmer around here was go outside in the backyard with the shepherds, and take my shirt off, and let magnificent warm sun blast my upper body. Vitamin D, baby! WOOOO! I did that 3 times in a row before the weather turned to crap again.
I’m feeling pretty darn good this morning. ‘Bout 85% better, but I can still taste some cold in the back of my throat, so vaporizer is running, and I just took some more Sambucus.
Keys?
I wish the author wasn't such a jackass politically but at least I can separate the art from the man. Such as with Wagner (music) and Tarantino (film). You can be a contemptible human being yet still put out good art.
When I was younger I often spent two weeks at Christmas on the Yucatan Peninsula touring the ruins. At the time, I believed that I was treating myself of SAD with a 'sunshine therapy.'
Turns out I probably was because of a Vitimin D deficiency....now that I take daily doses of vitamin D, no SAD problems. So.....many benefits of taking vitamin D.
BTW, lack of vitamin D is why people turned 'White'.
