I would simply emphasize that most alt. cancer docs I've spoken with use or

recommend 5,000-10,000 IU daily w/cancer patients, and high doses have been

shown to be cancer-healing.

A highly knowledgeable naturopath recommends that cancer patients (and others)

who are taking high-dose vit. D also take vit. K, which (in addition to being

cancer-healing) prevents the above problem.

“[vits.] K1 and K2 are found in…green leafy vegetables [KALE, CHARD,

parsley, spinach, brussel sprouts]†(Gammill, 1/11/05),

BUT my understanding is that you have to take vit. K supplements to get adequate

therapeutic dosages.
