No I didn't make the jump on my own. The nosebleed came from my son
picking his nose yes but resulted in a geyser that wouldn't be stopped
for about 10 or more minutes. Then again at 3am blood spurting
everywhere. The thing wouldn't turn off. This is the first time its
happened (we've had them in the past, but nothing this serious) and I
asked a naturopathic doctor about it. He gave me the vitamin K
recommendation.

My mom keeps urging me to take the kids to the doctor (the kids are
pale or walk funny or back hurts, etc etc) but after having many bad
experiences with traditional medicine I am not so eager to go.

So, I made sure Armand got some vitamins to help his clotting and etc. :)

If you would really like to see what vitamins your body needs based on activities & predisposition for you could do one of two things. First go to: www.marketamerica.com/lifespossibilities sign up for free as a preferred customer & take their Nutriphysical for free. It gives you a great baseline to start with. If you would like something more detailed look into purchasing GeneSNP on the same site, you can find out more information about the product on the site.

I hope this helps anyone who questions if they are taking the right vitamins for their body,
