Vitamin-K (or hypoThyroid treatment) and kidney stones?

[Guest guest]

(sent to both lists as it seems appropriate given the links as I

understand them)

This just came in from the Low-Oxalate diet list (which I lurk in

just to see what's going on, and sometimes tell people about the

Vitamin-K/K2 protocol..) about a " new " (sic) study about calcium

oxalate and kidney stones, and how oxalobacter could help. (Has

there been a concurrent rise in kidney stone rates and widespread

broad-spectrum antibiotic useage [without probiotic useage

afterwards] I wonder?), and my response:

(response): They're just NOW figuring that out?? Jesus.. "

Could Vitamin K help as well, or for that matter low-dose

hypothyroid treatment? (even in neurotypicals with no iodine

transporter issues as may be the case in autism), as K helps break

down Ca-oxalate in the gut? Or could the bicarbonnite imbalance lead

to oxalate exchanger problems in non-ASD individuals?

I just started vitamin K about 4-5 months ago for

nosebleeds and it has worked. I haven't had a bloody

nose in 4 months and prevously I was having them frequently.
