Please read the whole thread.
Owen posted Pauling's dosage.
Activator X = K was largely from Chris Masterjohn, and matches everything I've been able to find that is related. (I spent months if not years looking) See Weston Price foundation links earlier in thread - have fun! (they do have a rather whacko resident Dr - ignore)
Masterjohn also recently published his preliminary paper on K/A/D; was posted here a few months ago.
I have previously posted a good bit re A&D interplay, don't know if anybody can find it.
K2 is expensive - I am poor, and the research and availability are both changing rapidly. I would probably take 1 mg if I could; since I cannot now, I don't keep the info current - will revisit when cost/finance improves (ha). I am taking 50mcg K2, 100mcg K, and I am happy to indulge my taste for well aged cheese (and butter, though I doubt any of that is much use), the best food source other than natto, which I doubt I could take but I haven't met any yet. $20 worth of Stilton or Brie or really good Parmesan and a good beer beats hell out of $20 vitamins from yr fav health food store.
BTW, my total health care budget is less than $1/day/person. No have Doctor - nor need.
I have been sneaking up on dosages of many nutrients for years, as I learn more. I now think that quite large doses may be very effective and safe for reasonable periods of time; possibly not long term. I would not hesitate to take 100,000 A, 50,000D, 1mg Se, 100+mg to maybe 5gm I as Lugol's, 20 gms pantothenic acid, and as much C as I can hold, for a week or maybe a month, if symptoms seem to call for it. But, my progression is such that symptoms are exceeding rare!
I think that the whole mercury bugaboo is an incompetent understanding at best, and a serious scam at worst. A subject unto itself, but I have had a lot of mercury fillings for 45 years, and still have some, and some grown over by my now healed gums. And all the so called symptoms of "mercury poisoning" have been cured by other far more effective, cheaper, faster, and less painful means - with even more wonderful "side effects". And I take 600mg ALA/day too, more if I had the shekels. I also have and have had for many years as a welder/machinist/mechanic/metalworker heavy exposure to so called "heavy metals" of all varieties - lead, cadmium, zinc, copper, indium, silver, iron, chromium, manganese, nickle, aluminum, zirconium, beryllium (not enuf gold & platinum!)-I do not worry about that much, though I attempt to not eat too much or swim in the stuff anymore. Not even worried much about the early exposure to large quantities of PCB oil or asbestos dust - have you ever looked at the rocks on a California beach - they have asbestos fur??! And no, you are probably not a special "low excretor"'; you are a starving everyday sort of dude, given bad advice and being robbed regularly.
