This book has helped me more than any health book I have ever read. For the last year I have had unbearable Arthritic pains resulting in swollen hands,fingers and wrists and pains in every joint and muscle. I could not sleep but was tired out all the time. I also have Crohn’s disease which I have managed with a diet for over 50 years. Two weeks ago a friend sent me an article on this book. It made sense. I had a blood test and it came back as being Adequate. I live in UK. Measurements are different in US. I thought that perhaps I didn’t need extra Vit D. I emailed Jeff who is extremely approachable and helpful and it appears that on the US scale my vitamin D levels were below even the reference range!! This is really criminal.
Immediately I started taking 4000 iu Vit D and also Vitk2. After 4 days I felt much better. On day 5 I took 12000iu and the pain dramatically decreased. I upped the dose to 16000 and again the same. I am now on 20000 and I have never felt so well and have only been taking it for just over a week. My energy is slowly increasing and I am now looking forward. I will write another review when I am further down the line to see if it helps with Crohns. I feel the research of this man has saved me.7 MONTHS DOWN THE LINEI have now been on Vit D3 & K2 for the last 7 months. My severe Arthritis has disappeared and my Crohns disease is being cured. I had not eaten bread for years and years so I decided to try some. I have been eating it for a month with no ill effects. If I did this before Vit.D I had debilitating pain. The depression I suffered from for years has gone. This is a big thing for me. I feel fantastic. In fact I feel better than I have done in my whole life. I only wish I had had Jeff Bowles book years ago.He then recommends reading `Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox: How a Little-Known Vitamin Could save Your Life’HOWEVER, it’s worth noting that someone who reviewed the book `Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox: How a Little-Known Vitamin Could save Your Life’ said that …
“the symptoms of too much K2 and hypocalcaemia are the same…heart racing and crazy blood pressure changes”Deotima1 year agoIn
It says in the book how much vit K to take. I took very high doses of vit D for about a year, but it did not help my arthritis and Fibromyalgia.

I supplement with magnsium citrate 300 mg per day. It is a natural anti inflamatory and has cured my IBS flare up. I imagine that it should be good for other inflamatory conditions.

I am on high doses of magnesium as I was tested deficient. I don’t think taking Magnesium interferes with the Vit D. I have found, as Jeff says that High dose Vit D causes pain in old bone injuries. I’m hoping that it will repair them in time.
Charles Darwin 3 years ago (Edited)II have been looking into the heart palpitation thing….and there are two possible problems….the most likely is that high dose d3 and k2 use up magnesium in repairing your bones and joints….SO if you are already deficient in magnesium (most people are) then d3 and k2 exacerbates it big time..and severe magnesium deficiency often presents with heart rhthym abnormalities..and sometimes anxiety….just google it you will see…the other possibility is that humans prefer the MK-4 animal based type of K2..and not the MK7 bacteria based k2….in some switching to mk4 or at least to lef’s mk4/mk7 combo super k releived their symptoms

Hello, I just wanted to ask if you are alright after taking high doses of D3 for so long. It can accumulate in your fat cells and cause major problem. I do know that Vitamin K2 is suppose to help use the D3 efficiently. I felt quite uncomfortable with palpitation and so I am stopping it for now to see if it improves and it is improving! We shouldn’t believe every thing we read but listen to our bodies. I would love to hear from you as to how you are getting on. Regards Katherine
