#Lawmakers Call for #CDC to Track #VitaminK Shot Refusals
Rep #KimSchrier and Sen #AngelaAlsobrooks called on federal gov to address what they described as “a growing and preventable #publichealth crisis” of #parents refusing long-standard vitamin K shot for #newborns, which has led to some of those babies suffering uncontrollable bleeding and even dying.
Vitamin K shot has been routine in #US since American Academy of Pediatrics recommended it for all newborns in 1961

I am not going to dance on the graves of dead babies, but in all honesty these parents who murder their babies? Their graves should be fucking dance floors. A stupid, paranoid nation cannot survive. #antivax #antivaxx #vitaminK 🤬

“To test their findings, the researchers isolated a protein associated with aging in the aortas of mice, and injected it into young mice to observe the results. ..."
The senoprotein tested was Gas6; it is a vitamin K dependent protein and it's activities are dependent on carboxylation. Unfortunately the original research article * is paywalled, so no details on carboxylation ...

From Seed To Plate: A Guide For Growing #RainbowSwissChard
by Tess Pennington | October 2018 |
"Known for its beautiful green leaves and colorful stalks, rainbow swiss chard is a great substitute for #spinach. It can be steamed or eaten raw in a #salad for an extra kick of nutrition. If you love this tasty leafy green, this guide is for you! Take your rainbow swiss chard from seed to plate!
"Rainbow Swiss chard is rich in anti-oxidants and chock full of phytonutrients. Research has shown that Rainbow Swiss Chard contains flavonoids that actually lower blood sugar making it one of the most nutritious vegetables you can eat! The leafy green is an excellent source of vitamins K, A, and C, as well as a good source of magnesium, potassium, iron, and dietary fiber. In fact, just one cup of chopped Swiss chard has just 35 calories and provides more than 300% of the daily value for #VitaminK
"Did you know Swiss chard goes by many names? The plant actually has numerous monikers, including silverbeet, Roman kale, “Bright Lights,” and strawberry spinach – but all are referring to the same plant which was discovered by a Swiss botanist. It’s still a staple and popular in Mediterranean areas. If you’ve ever considered attempting to grow Rainbow Swiss chard, why not give it try? It’s relatively easy to grow with few pests to worry about! Plus, it’s a beautiful addition to an edible landscaping or ornamental design.
"Helpful Hint: Before planting, soak your Rainbow Swiss Chard seeds in warm water for 15 minutes. This will help speed up the germination process."

Phylloquinone improves endothelial function, inhibits cellular senescence, and vascular inflammation
https://doi.org/10.1007/s11357-024-01225-w
The study compares the effects of phylloquinone (vitamin K1) with the MK-4 form of menaquinone (vitamin k2) and reports that both are beneficial to vascular endothelium function.

#VitaminK: Das fettlösliche Vitamin kommt natürlicherweise in unterschiedlichen Formen vor – die bekanntesten sind Vitamin K1 & K2. Es ist an der Blutgerinnung beteiligt & zusammen mit anderen Mikronährstoffen (z.B. Calcium, Phosphor, Vitamin D) wichtig für die Knochengesundheit.
Derzeit liegen keine Hinweise dafür vor, dass die Bevölkerung in Deutschland zu wenig Vitamin K aufnimmt bzw. unzureichend mit Vitamin K versorgt ist.

CW: Chia seed vitamin K mystery
Seems like the chia seed vitamin K levels have been revised in Cronometer. My husband said his K intake has been low this week and I asked if he was still eating chia; he said yes. I checked Cronometer and both NCCDB and CRDB report relatively low values now (4.3 and 3.7 µg/100g, respectively). I'm certain this was not the case previously.
USDA agrees with NCCDB -
https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/fdc-app.html#/food-details/2343065/nutrientsI tried searching PubMed and didn't find as much on chia nutritional content as I had expected; none of the recent reviews listed vitamin K content.
I did come across a rather strange article on the development of a nutraceutical ice cream formulation containing insect larvae and either chia or quinoa. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fvets.2021.629180/full#T4
In Table 4, you can see the vitamin K levels for 4 different formulations; the one with chia had a high amount of vitamin K - 997 µg/100g dry sample. For comparison, the formulation with quinoa had a value of 554.75 and the 2 without either chia or quinoa were listed as ND - no vitamin K
So now I'm really perplexed as it seems that in this study, chia contributed quite a lot of vitamin K to the ice cream.
Out of curiosity, I checked the USDA database for quinoa; it reports uncooked quinoa as containing 1.1 µg/100g of menaquinine-4 and 0 phylloquinone).

CW: Death, medicine
An awful case of medical negligence at Addenbrooke's hospital in Cambridge led to the death of a baby. A routine vitamin K injection would have saved his life, but it wasn't given though it was recorded as done.

TITLE: Vitamin D and COVID-19 -- Another Video Reminder and New Research
PaperAnother video from Dr. John Campbell on the advantages of Vitamin D
(taken with Vitamin K-2) in helping with COVID-19 (and likely other
viruses). Based upon the linked research paper from prestigious authors
at major institutions.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbUm5FyrHRk
/*PAPER:*//*
*//Association between vitamin D supplementation and COVID-19 infection
and mortality//

//
//*TOPICS:*//*
*//Vitamin D deficiency, associated with reduced immune function, can
lead to viral infection//
//Vitamin D deficiency, associated, increases the risk of COVID-19//
//But is it a treatment / prognosis improver?//
//Population of US veterans, we show that Vitamin D2 and D3 fills//
//Associated with reductions in COVID-19 infection//
//After applying all restrictions//
//220,265 supplemented with vitamin D3//
//34,710 supplemented with vitamin D2//
//407,860 untreated patients.//
//Study design//
//Retrospective cohort//
//Supplemented (before and during the pandemic),//
//versus untreated controls//
//One to one matches//
//D2, D3, or calcifediol//
//Veterans Administration Corporate Data Warehouse (CDW) electronic
health records. //
//Vitamin D levels typically respond to treatment following two months
of exposure//
//D3 cohort//
//COVID-19 rates for the treated = 2.66%//
//COVID-19 rates for the untreated = 3.30%//
//D3 20%, reduction//
//D2 28% reduction//
//Mortality within 30-days of COVID-19 infection//
//Infection ending in mortality within 30 days//
//D3 group//
//Treated group death rate after infection = 0.23%//
//Untreated group death rate after infection = 0.35%//
//Vitamin D3 33% mortality lower (HR, 67%)//
//P less than 0.001//
//Vitamin D2 25% lower (HR, 75%) (but not significant)//
//Veterans receiving higher dosages of Vitamin D obtained greater
benefits from supplementation than veterans receiving lower dosages. //
//Vitamin D blood levels between 0 and 19 ng/ml, exhibited the largest
decrease in COVID-19 infection and mortality following supplementation//
//(0–19 ng/ml, 20–39 ng/ml, and 40 + ng/ml)//
//Dosage options, 20 IU, 40 IU, 100 IU, 125 IU, 200 IU, 250 IU, 400 IU,
500 IU, 800 IU, 1000 IU, 2000 IU, 5000 IU, 8000 IU, and 50,000 IU//
//Black veterans received greater associated COVID-19 risk reductions,
with supplementation than White veterans//
//As a safe, widely available, and affordable treatment, Vitamin D may
help to reduce the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic.//
//More background//
//Vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency affect approximately half of
the US population, //
//with increased rates in people with darker skin, reduced sun exposure,
people living in higher latitudes in the winter, //
//nursing home residents, and healthcare workers//
//Populations with low levels of Vitamin D have also experienced higher
rates of COVID-19//
//New mechanism//
//Vitamin D is needed to allow T helper cells to control and reduce
Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) production//
//Conclusions//
//These associated reductions in risk are substantial and justify more
significant exploration and confirmation using RCTs. //
//This is particularly important given the high rates of vitamin D
deficiency in the US population and COVID-19.//
//Extrapolate, D3 supplementation to the entire US population in 2020//
//4 million fewer COVID-19 cases (19,860,000 actual cases)//
//116,000 deaths avoided (351,999 actual deaths)//
//Given our findings, the absence of severe side effects, the widespread
availability of vitamin D3 at low cost, //
// vitamin D3 presents a unique opportunity to reduce the spread and
severity of the COVID-19 pandemic.//
//K2, MK-7: Supplement, probably 100 micrograms per day//
//Nato, 1,000 micrograms per 100 g//
//Cheese, typically 50 micrograms per 100 g//
//Safe and effective//
//UK, GP incentives to vaccinate//
//Home, £30//
//Standard reimbursement to Primary Care Networks (which then gets
passed to GPs) £15 //
//New contract, £12.58 each//
//Lawrence//
//I have heard that Dr. John Campbell is in the pocket of Big Overhead
Projector Lobby.//
//Rumour is that he has accepted tens of dollars of under the table
expenses. //
//Anyone else notice that he always seems to have an endless supply of
A4 paper and fountain pens?//
