Cheryl, I am but with so many combinations of how it can be written, it's slow going to find them all.

Downtown, like DanL said, the K2 is hard to find in high enough doses that would be affordable. In Japan they use it for osteoporosis regularly in the same dose of 45mg/day but it's by Rx.

The man I read about in the case study received combination therapy with oral vitamin K2 (menatetrenone, 45 mg/day) and vitamin D3 (alfacalcidol, 1 μg/day)*7 instead of chemotherapy. [*7. Akiyama N, Miyazawa K, Kanda Y, et al. Multicenter phase II trial of vitamin K2 monotherapy and vitamin K2 plus 1α-hydroxyvitamin D3 combination therapy for low-risk myelodysplastic syndromes. Leuk Res. 2010;34:1151–7.] The case study is available here http://europepmc.org/articles/PMC3926709#b7-blt-12-103
