Joan, thanks for posting this article. A couple years ago I had wounds that

wouldn’t heal and I immediately thought of vitamin K. After blood tests I

found that my Vit-K level was ok, but that my thyroid hormone T-3 was

extremely low which was causing my metabolism to shut down.

During my research of Vit-K I found a number of current long-term research

studies linking bleeding to aspirin and Vit-K. One study of aspirin and

brain bleeding actually categorized brain-bleeding occurrences based on

aspirin dosage: mild, medium and heavy. It also categorized the results

based on age groups. From this study a person over the age of 60 that takes

a high dosage of aspirin had the greatest occurrences of brain bleeds.

So it might be advisable for those who are taking medium to high dosages of

aspirin to add Vit-K to their regular blood testing.

Thanks . I’m going to ask for a Vit K test. I’m also on antibiotics

which apparently deplete Vit K as well. Brain bleeds sound like something to be

avoided if at all possible.
