Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Look into Vitamin K-MK4. Taken at 45 mg per day (three 15 mg tablets), it is prescribed in Japan as Glakay. Have to buy it in the US online, because the health food stores don't have high enough amounts. It's a vitamin, so most insurance won't cover, and is not offered by local pharmacies. It is taken in Japan to reverse osteoporosis. Supposed to regulate blood issues, such as high or low blood pressure and sugar high or low. Supposed to handle the osteo by removing excess calcium from the blood and returning it to the bones. When researching, be sure to note the actual version of Vit. K. Some studies mention MK7, or MK9, and some don't even mention the type. The only study I've seen is for MK4, and is included with the Glakay prescription. I found it in the past online as a pdf, but couldn't find it tonight. I had surgery a number of years back, and the doc was very concerned that I was taking Vit K since it's a blood thinner, but he did some tests and all was ok for the surgery to proceed.
