On PT, concerned about bad "EBT CT Scan"

Thanks for the info, the thing is, are there any studies that specifically show that
K2 does not interfere with warfarin? I don't see any like that in the studies
you mentioned.

Personally I don't have anything against, I take a high dose of it
myself every day, but I'm not on warfarin.

PS: well now he's decided that taking an aspirin will counteract the effect
of increased calcification from the warfarin. Some days I want to tear
my hair out.

here's a study that says K2 does interfere with warfarin:

Interaction of warfarin and vitamin K2 on arterial thrombotic tendency using a rat aorta loop model

Maybe I need to look at an alternative drug to warfarin
so he can at least add K2 to his regimen, even though
they are all really nasty.

? Warfarin is a rat poison, and if I read that abstract correctly, adding vitamin K2 prevented the rat poison from working - from the rats dying..

Now this does provide evidence that K2 has some relation to "clotting", but this is the Vitamin C Foundation - not the vitamin K FDN, so I cannot comment on the nutty use of rat poison by the medical profession... (However, if you read Dr. Levy's STOP AMERICA'S #1 KILLER, in particular the part about fragile capillaries forming in plaques near the heart, you can understand why Cardiology tries to stop "clotting" as these fragile arteries are likely to break.

We do know that clotting is commonly measured as INR - and perhaps johnwen or others know whether vitamin K2 affects INR. (We previously determined that very very high vitamin E did not affect INR and we had suspected it might.)

Since this is not the Vitamin K foundation, I will shut up now.
