Is it harmful to take Vitamin D & not Vitamin K?
I read that taking vitamin D while not supplementing with vitamin K also can be dangerous as it can lead to calcification of the arteries. I am on warfarin and have been told that I really need to up my Vitamin D, but what do I do about vitamin K?

Neurology Doc advice
saw neurology consultant few days ago re the MRI scan I had after a stroke last year. And when I mentioned how my memory banks were badly affected and also said I was getting 2 monthly injections of B12 he told me that B12 would improve my memory losses so hopefully I can get my Doc to agree to more

Pregnacare
I've been taking this for around a year now. I've also been taking CoQ10 & Omega 3. I'm looking to add magnesium & zinc into my supplement library. Pregnacare looks like it has very low doses of everything anyway. Can someone recommend a folic acid that I should take? I'm thinking of just taking everything

0.9 saline 1 liter IV infusion.
Last year I asked on the forum if anyone knew where I could get a saline infusion. Come to find out that was heretical and not done in the UK. 🙂 In the USA there are clinics owned and run by nurses where one can get infusions with or without vitamins of your choice. There are also mobile clinics.
