True science, not the science as illustrated by Global Warming freaks, is the endless search for the truth of our physical world.
It’s not any more complicated than that.
Making
Yes, that’s what true science is.
Since I regard the Bible as truth, I reject any Science that denies Scripture.
I am happy to explore verifiable scientific fact.
Here is the best article on Vitmin K
NOW brand vitamins makes a good Vitamin K
NOW is a very good company with nice lower prices

Just as the true church is filled with false prophets, science is filled with false prophets claiming to be scientists.
All of us have an obligation to judge and expose both.
Never heard of ‘em, I just Googled.
No sweat.
Thx thx.
“Just as the true church is filled with false prophets, science is filled with false prophets claiming to be scientists.”
Amen to that.
“There is no magic diet, food, pill, or exercise that will make us live forever.”
Of course.
But there is a vast difference between being reasonably healthy into old age and stumbling around with no ability to do anything you enjoy. Most of the research says that eating the right food for your metabolic type and using certain targeted supplements, along with exercise, extends the quality of life, aside from the longevity.
<You might have to pay for the article to find out
I’m a prof in a univ w/a hospital & med school. I guess I could stop being lazy and download the article. : ) I think in the back of my mind I figure they didn’t control for diet because they are looking for pharmaceutical (and vitamins at such high doses they have to be prescribed) answers to problems, not to the power of food.
I’m almost following you, but not quite. Are you saying that blacks diabetics need or don’t need D3?
Odd, it seems like practically everything gives me stomach problems but 5,000 IU D3 is one thing that doesn't! In fact, my IBS is better. People differ, I guess.
I’ve seen my endo and thought I’d come back here and ask some questions.
It turns out I have very low Vit D. The doc put me on 50,000 units, every 2 weeks.
Is anyone else doing the high dosage thing? Any side effects - tummy upset, diarrhea? Are you taking this for years, or just until your levels get up, then you can take regular doses? (and yeah, I shoulda asked my doctor, shoot me.)
I find it was interesting that I had such low Vit D levels, even though I had been taking 1-2,000 units for almost a year. I guess it wasn’t enough.
>One thing I’m curious about is did they control for diet?<
Excellent question!
LOL, hardly, Vitamin D is very much needed. The big Pharmies want you guys to fall for all this crap that suppliments do not work, this is why they are using the FDA to try and get suppliments banned.
A clinical trial led by Mitsuyoshi Urashima and conducted by the Division of Molecular Epidemiology in the the Department of Pediatrics at the Jikei University School of Medicine Minato-ku in Tokyo found that vitamin D was extremely effective at halting influenza infections in children. The trial appears in the March, 2010 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (Am J Clin Nutr (March 10, 2010). doi:10.3945/ajcn.2009.29094)
The results are from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 334 children, half of which were given 1200 IUs per day of vitamin D3. In other words, this was a “rigorous” scientific study meeting the gold standard of scientific evidence.
In the study, while 31 of 167 children in the placebo group contracted influenza over the four month duration of the study, only 18 of 168 children in the vitamin D group did. This means vitamin D was responsible for an absolute reduction of nearly 8 percent.
