Here is an email I got 10/2012 from a lady who had chronic wound healing problems that seem to have been cured by high-dose D3!From: Janell I am a 69 yo female who has suffered for the past 12 to 14 years with a bad back, overweight, etc. Since 2006, I have had Lap Band surgery (2006), Spinal fusion of L 2-3 and rebuild of L 1 and spending 34 days in a rehab facility (2008), removal of a mesh bladder sling 2010, rebuild of a bladder sling of my own tissues (Jan. 2011). The bladder sling rebuild resulted in an infection which led into a wound that would not heal. In October of 2011, it was recommended that I go to a Wound Healing Clinic where I met with the staff and the doctor on a weekly basis to have the wound scraped out and the ‘Wound Vac” replaced for another week. This continued through May, 2012 when I was told that, because the wound was not healing, I should return to my original surgeon, which I promptly did. He recommended a plastic and reconstructive surgeon to see if he could, perhaps, repair the wound so that it would heal.In June of this year I bought myself a Kindle, and one of the first books I bought was yours, “Against Doctor’s Orders!!” (Previous title of book-my mote JB) This has literally been a life saver, and I can’t thank you enough.But, my saga continues. I now take 75,000 IU D3 daily along with 7 mcg of K2 daily. Is this enough K2?At this time, 10/22/2012, I am feeling better than I have for years. Most of my back pain is gone and I can stand for a couple of hours with very little irritation pain. A knee injury from 8 or 9 years ago ha healed and my kneecap is back where it belongs. My left leg is continuing to heal from being semi paralyzed with no feeling from my hip to my toes. Though I will say that a Naproxen is necessary when the nerves reconnect and I get a ‘shocking feeling’I did have the surgery to make the wound start healing on July 26, 2012. It was a total success. I had two drains after surgery. One came out after two weeks and is completely healed. The one on the left side came out after 7 weeks, and only requires a Band-Aid to cover the drain area to prevent irritation from my underwear.I am sending my new primary care doctor your name and e-mail. She believes that I am taking too much D3 and calcium. My levels on October 2 were D3 80 and calcium 112. This was when I started taking more K2. She is a new Doctor and is just learning. The med reports said I should be between 30 and 50 for my D3 levels, and I was only slightly high on the calcium levels. I have told her that I heavily participate in my own health care, so we shall see.Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I feel human for the first time in years, and plan to continue for many years to come. Oh, and I am losing weight again. Please feel free to contact me if you wish. Janell
