VITAMIN K AND FREEZING

[cerstadd]

Has anyone taken vitamin K for freezing---or for any other PD symptom, for that matter? If so, what results? Vitamin K1 or K2, dosage, etc. etc.

Vitamin K is very important for bone and cardiovascular health. It was thought that K2 was the essential form but more recent research indicates it is K1. I don't know that it helps PD but it is well worth taking. I take a version that has both K1 & K2: vitacost.com/vitacost-ultra...

I have written about this extensively:

How Big Pharma pollutes the scientific record and propagandizes doctors.

Bisphosphonates (Fosamax, etc.) increase fracture risk and should not be on the market.

Statins are effective but dangerous.

Vitamins D and K and a couple of minerals improve bone strength, reduce fracture risk and prevent hardening of the arteries. In so doing they result in better outcomes than both bisphosphonates and statins.

Junk Science, Bad Reporting Propagate Unhealthy Misinformation Regarding Supplements

A recent survey of the literature entitled Supplemental Vitamins And Minerals For CVD Prevention And Treatment alleges supplements are not useful for the prevention of CVD. It purports to be a comprehensive survey of the impact of supplements on cardiovascular disease, but it is not. It ignores vitamin K, which, along with vitamin D, are by far the most important supplements for the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Most importantly it defames vitamin D.
