Vitamin K2

Here's a thought: i have learned that arteries can become calcified, to varying degrees, but this vitamin, K2 (M7 variant), can cause it to dissolve, at least some.
Question: aren't we using these various approaches (pills, injections, etc.) because we have subnormal blood flow? So why wouldn't clearing the pipes be helpful? YouTube has videos. K2 deficiency is not a new idea...been around at least a decade. Indian doctor in Florida is especially good at explaining.
Here's the argument: vitamin D is responsible for getting calcium into the body (from the gut, primarily) but has no control where the calcium then goes...that's K2's job. Without adequate K2, calcium does not go to bones, which is where you want it, but rather to your bloodstream, ouch! Good news: apparently taking a K2 (M7) supplement can arrest the calcification and even dissolve.
Florida doc prescribes 200 micrograms/day. (Apparently no side effects unless you are on a blood thinner.) Do you have calcification? Calcium Coronary Scan will tell. Not expensive test (my doc charges $100). Most seniors have. Talk to your doc. Have high LDL? On a statin? Amazon sells NOW brand. 120 (100 microgram) pills for $20.
Must confess... My doc is not enthusiastic. But he is purely a "company man" super conservative, as many, many docs are. I am starting Saturday.....
