That vitamin K review is splendid. Don't have time to study it now, but at a quick look, K1 is a whole lot more useful than earlier sources said. And extremely cheap. I am taking 100mcg "because that is all the body can use" = not true. Change soonish! I started taking K only two years ago with this infection, since it was obvious by manipulation that it was eating/had eaten bone in my skull. BTW, this started as a dental infection (NOT cured by repeated antibiotics!).
I have spent approximately $1600 since Jan 09 until last month, and have several months of some stuff and a couple years of others in reserve, because of how quantities work out. That was starting from almost no in-stock, and is for me and my daughter. She is off at school and is slacking a bit, but not much, and since she is fundamentally healthy being raised by these methods, her doses are relatively low. I am correcting lifelong (65+ now) disasters and I have been vigorously attacking a long term chronic infection and extreme stress for two years (with stupendous success!), so my overall expense is higher than baseline. Average overall for the two of us. over 3.5 yr is $228/yr/person, less the in-stock = about $0.60/day. It does not include the Lugol's I managed to buy before the DEA/FDA caused the cost and aggro to go through the roof; if you do not have that problem, Lugol's is cheaper than the container it comes in. Even with these problems, it is only pennies for "normal" doses, and quarters for my "extreme" treatment. We have used $35 = one liter of the Lugol's I bought two years before my wife died Dec08, so that also includes her and the critters since about fall 2006, but the greatest amount used is my two year treatment. Everything except the Lugol's comes from Puritan.com. I calculated a long time ago that I could cut the US health care cost in half in a year for $0.50/person/day easily and more with more time for even less money.
V-C as ascorbic acid crystals is $.025/gm, so my current 20gm/day is $0.50 of my present personal total.
Puritan does not carry sodium ascorbate, but I only used that for my critters, and three of four have died of broken hearts since wife died and daughter went off to school. Or, their karmic appointed tasks were done, as they were the ladies' familiars.
My Schedule as it is more or less by importance, but if I don't think it is important
I don't bother (current or any emergency high dose in parentheses) if in paren is emergency requirement!:
C - ascorbic acid Puritan 3162 15gm (20)
Mg - Mag oxide Pur 5537 500mg min 750 usual (1000)

Zn Pur 2063 1x
Cal-Mag-Zinc Pur 4293 (as needed for pain or damaged tissue repair (muscle tears etc), with C, Panto, B6 - my sole pain treatment for the past 11 years, rarely needed now, great sleeping pill if you need that, but you will not after a while on the above!
+ Salt NaCl to taste, KCl also freely, especially if hot.sweating/thirsty.
Enough liquid to urinate near clear often.
No sugar (I use about 10 lb/year, and it mostly goes to the hummingbirds)
Don't peel vegetables or fruit
Lots of potatoes
No low fat anything permitted even near my house!
liberal - Whole milk, yogurt, butter, olive oil, grape seed oil
Aged Cheese of all sorts - V-K in spades and it is good!
Beef, pork, sausages, bacon, salami
yogurt, wheat germ
I have given up on liver, because I cannot get any that is not extremely dubious in appearance - formerly a staple.
Nutritional yeast is always good, but I have not used any in years - it was what I started with in 1968, along with V-A and ascorbic acid.
Dozens of eggs (protein and cholin source)
Took about 30 gm C and 2 gm panto one day (up from my then usual 15gm/day & 500 mg) for some thing daughter brought home from school. Feet got really warm a half hour later. Unpleasant pain and fatigue (for about a year, after walking uphill briskly) in legs disappeared forever. Realized later it had a name - PAD, and was now long gone.
If I read pamojja's schedule at all correctly, its fair but deficient in some things, and the price appalls, the complexity and worry astonishes, and it sounds like it doesn't work too well either. Now, I have a headache and need some drugs! (Another 5gm C, 4 drops Lugol's, and a Cal/Mag/Zinc, and a cup of coffee)
I suggest that everybody forget about poorly (mis) understood things like "half life" and attend to their food - actual food that real people have been eating for 10,000 years. The people Weston Price observed neither knew nor cared about any of that. The Afghan tribal leaders who gave guests the calf's eyeballs did so because they recognized that they were the most valuable part of the meal, and the Indians who saved stupid white men with fish heads, did not know about retinol/retinyl/beta carotene/etc and theoretical reasons why these things mught kill you. The Peruvian Indians who traveled annually to the sea to gather kelp and dry it knew it was essential and life saving, so much so that they carried it along with coca in little bags around their necks at all times.
