Vitamin K

[Guest guest]

Hi,

There were two studies in England, Bristol University, I think, linking

childhood leukemia

to Vitamin K injections, but not to the oral Vitamin K. Vitamin K prevents a

rare condition

that seems to be fatal if acquired.

I got vitamin K injected, but regret it and wish I had gotten the oral.

However, there are

more effective oral doses than others, and this info can be found if you Google

for a bit. i

haven't done so in awhile, but did ascertain the info sometime after birth. I

think that

Australia and Germany all use oral vitamin K.

Other studies did not link the injections to leukemia, but I'd still go with the

oral were I to

give birth again. Just my opinion. Do what you feel safest with. Just get all

the facts first

and trust your intuition.

My best, Jill

Hi Everyone,

On Vitimin K I only have experience with it on animals, but the medicine is

quite similar to humans most of the time. I would think Vitimin K might mess

with the coagulation of your blood. The reason I think this is because it is

what we give to the dogs if they get eat rat poison. Rat poison, after a few

weeks, will take away their blood clotting ability and they bleed to death

internally if not treated. The Vitimin K counteracts the rat poison making it

where the blood will still clot.

I would wonder if Vit K, without the rat poison might eventually make your

blood too thick or cause it to form blood clots ?
