I'm not a doctor and do not play at being one... but if you do a little research you will find that D3 and other fat soluble vitamins need vitamin K2 in order to work... K2 is made in minute amounts from deep green leafy stuff digesting in our gut, BUT not enough... you need to be eating egg yolks and meat from chickens (and meats from other animals) that have been GRASS fed. NOT grain... they convert the chlorophyll in grass to K2 in their fats stored in their meat and in chicken egg yolks... my D ws 4 and more than 5 years of 5000IU a day still doesn't have it up to the normal range (which is now 50-100) ---

Hope this helps... do some googling around for K2

also think about doing the cleanse and PB assist before retesting and adding the real sources of K2  so your body has the right flora and fauna to absorb nutrients properly!

Is there anyone out there who can help me with my pernicious anemia?
I was diagnosed some 20 odd years ago.  I get weekly B-12 injections
which are only meant to keep me alive.  These injections do not cure
the PA.  My symptoms for the most part have persisted over all these
years.  About nine years ago I developed a gastric tumor that was
treated with laser for about 18 months.  It was then decided that they
could no longer treat it with laser for fear of perforating my stomach
and it had become so large.  At that point I had a partial gastrectomy
of my lower stomach and upper small bowel.

I now have a major absorption problem.  I have been taking 5000 iu of
vitamin D weekly for the past 3 years and it has not increased my
vitamin D blood levels.  My iron levels dropped to about 4 and I had
IV infusion therapy about two years ago and feel like I need to return
for more.  Taking oral iron only made me sick (increased stomach
pain).  About 18-months ago I was found to have two more polyps in my
stomach and they were both bleeding.

I tried taking the LLV starting out at ½ dose and seemed to be doing
fine until I increased to a full dose.  After about a week I started
feeling like the life was being sucked out of me.  The only way to
explain this is by using the example of Wesley in Princess Bride.
Every day I would feel worse than the day before and I could only go
home from work and crash.  I stopped the LLV all together and within a
day or so started feeling much better.  The LLV has been a lifesaver
for my husband but not for me.  I am hoping someone can shed some
light on why this is such a problem and are there any oils that can
help with the overwhelming body fatigue.  I wake up in the mornings
not feeling rested.  I had a sleep study done which only indicated
that I had no RAM sleep on that particular night.

Thanks to anyone who can help!
