Regional Pain and a Lack of Vitamin K

Injuries, including fractures, can fail to heal properly in individuals lacking vitamin K.  This can set off a chain reaction of inflammatory events¹ in a region of your body, leading to deteriorated physical structure and ongoing pain.

It is well known that vitamin K is required to make bone building happen and without vitamin K, calcium simply cannot be correctly attached to the bone matrix,  Additionally, vitamin K is a potent anti-inflammatory nutrient that calms down NF-kappaB Protein complex that controls DNA transcription and is involved with cellular responses to stress, cytokines, free radicals, UV radiation, oxidized LDL, and infections. , the central gene involved with any type of inflammation.

Scientists are now observing a constellation of issues that may affect only one region of area of your body but may involve or result in pain, swelling, movement disorders, joint stiffness, regional osteoporosis, and adverse changes in soft tissue.  This means that a chain reaction of structural problems can occur from disruption of vitamin k activity.

Of course, this is going on with millions of elderly Americans thanks to the rampant overuse of Coumadin by the medical profession – which blocks vitamin k activity.  Any person on Coumadin who is developing chronic pain should consider some other option.  Physicians just don’t seem to understand how much trouble their “solutions” can cause.
