Here is a recent email exchange between me and a cardiac surgeon from Italy who cured his ulcerative colitis with 80,000 IU of D3 a day. He had the disease for 10 years and tried all the drugs to no avail:
Dr. – No problem Jeff. It is a big pleasure.
Jeff – I will leave your name out but I might mention that you are a doctor; what kind are you?
Dr. – Very good. I am a resident in cardiac surgery.
Jeff – And that is a great story. So did you have the herpes that we call cold sores or the kind you sometimes get from sex?
Dr. – Yes I used to have what you call “cold sore” and now, when it must occur (very very rare), it lasts barely two days! WONDERFUL!
Jeff – Thanks for this great information. Hey if you can get Peter to send vitamin k2 to Italy you can get it in really cheap powder form. Go see his price at taked3.com, I think it is 5 whole grams for $80!! If you buy k2 in pills they charge you about $6,500 per gram.
Dr. – Thanks Jeff! This morning I got Peter’s reply.
Jeff – Hello Augusto,
That is great news. I have not yet heard from anyone curing their UC with high-dose d3. I have heard of Crohn’s disease and IBD cures but you are the first UC.
Could you do me a favor? It would be great if you would write me an email describing your journey and I could add it to the end of the book with the testimonials.
For example, maybe you could briefly explain:
-Your symptoms from UC and how long you had it?
-Other drugs and therapies you tried before D3?
-How much D3 did you take and how long before you noticed results?
-How long until the cure?
-Any other problems cured?
-Any side effects?
-How it makes you feel??? Etc. and anything else you might want to add. I’d love to add it as a testimonial and I’ll leave your last name out of it if you wish.
Dr. – My history of UC started when I was 18 (2003).Of course anyone knows UC symptoms. Over the last 10 years I tried Glucocorticoids, Azathioprine, Mesalazine and of course restricted diet. Nothing worked very well and I’ve always been at “the edge” between ill and wellness up to January 2013 when I started myself with vitamin D, initially with 30.000 IU. After 30 days ALL symptoms were gone. After 2 months, April I think, I felt something was going wrong so from May (2013) I started taking 1.000 IU/kg. At that time I was 70 kg. so I did 70.000 IU.
Now I take 80.000 IU/per day and I feel SIMPLY great – physically and mentally speaking! I feel like one completely in health! Obviously I am not taking any conventional drugs anymore. I pay attention on avoiding calcium source, drink at least 2.5 liters of liquid per day and now I take high doses of vitamin K2 as well.
I also pay attention to urinary calcium collected in 24 hours to avoid nephrocalcinosis.
Since I started this supplementation I’ve never gotten a flu anymore. I used to have herpes simplex labials – never had it anymore as well! I feel more focused on work, more powerful, stronger and so on! Of course you can leave my last name out of my testimonial.
Dr. – Yes I read your book in about one day (this morning) so I decided to email to you.
I have been doing this for a year (from about January). My UC is completely healed! (I’ve been to a Brazilian physician (my note-apparently he is referring to Dr. Coimbra) that cure autoimmune disorders with high doses of vitamin D, but he doesn’t use vitamin K2). I am a doctor as well and I am collaborating with him and I’d like to suggest introducing vitamin K2 to his protocol. Hope you can help.
I feel super! But I’d like to optimize my bone health and avoid my soft tissues calcification.
And this doctor is apparently no fluke!

Dear Jeff,
I have had ulcerative colitis my whole life. I am now 65 years old!
I’ve never had normal stool. Only watery diarrhea with much blood. I will spare you all the other illnesses that came along. I have been in and out of hospitals all of my life. Broken a lot of bones as well.
I read your book and immediately begin taking 2x 10.000 IU vitamin d3 and the 2x 1 super K. After 2 days my diarrhea was gone!!! I have been eating so much over the last couple of days! And everything is ok! Now, the reason I am writing you is that you never mentioned the importance of vitamin A in your book. I have just finished ready the book by Kate Rhéaume-Bleue. She mentions the importance of vitamin A a lot. Do you have another view on this matter?
Thank you so much for your good work! I always knew that one day I would get better. But in such a short time……nobody will believe me! Lovely regards, IXXXXX
