I did not give the shot to my last two kiddos (I have 5) and they are ok :) they're now 7 and 21 years old.

synthetic vitamin K – generic name phytonadione. Synthetic vitamins should be avoided as they can cause imbalances in the body and have unintended consequences.

studies have linked large doses of vitamin K with childhood cancers and leukemia

The Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey set the thresholds of adequate vitamin K intake as 2 μg/die for infants in the first 6 months of life and 2.5 μg/die for infants aged 7–12 months6. After this age, the adequate intake progressively increases from 30 μg/die in children aged 1–3 years, up to 75 μg/die in adolescents (up to 18 years old).

2008 guidelines of the UK National Health System, it is, however, recommended that babies weighing less than 2.5 kg should be administered 400 μg/kg, whereas the dose for babies weighing more than 2.5 kg is 1 mg

early VKDB presents within 24 hours of birth and is almost exclusively seen in infants of mothers taking drugs which inhibit vitamin K. These drugs include anticonvulsants (carbamazepine, phenytoin and barbiturates), antituberculosis drugs (isoniazid, rifampicin), some antibiotics (cephalosporins) and vitamin K antagonists (coumarin, warfarin)

It should, however, be noted that Kumar et al. found extremely high plasma K levels on day 14 of life in premature infants (<28th gestational week) who received 1 mg of vitamin K intramuscularly shortly after birth35. In another study, by Costakos et al., preterm neonates who were given 0.5 to 1 mg vitamin K prophylaxis also showed vitamin K levels that were 1,900 to 2,600 times higher (2 days afterwards) and 550 to 600 times higher (10 days afterwards) than normal adult plasma values (0.5 ng/mL).

little being has very limited to no ability to detoxify the large dose of synthetic vitamin K and all other the dangerous ingredients in the injection cocktail including:

– Phenol (carbolic acid – a poisonous substance derived from coal tar) (can cause denervation and or muscle to die)

– Benzyl alcohol (preservative)

– Propylene glycol (better known as “edible” antifreeze)

– Acetic acid (astringent, antimicrobial agent)

– Hydrochloric acid

– Lecithin

– Castor oil

The manufacturer’s insert included with the shot includes the following warning:

Severe reactions, including fatalities, have occurred during and immediately after intravenous injection of phytonadione [synthetic Vitamin K] even when precautions have been taken to dilute the vitamin and avoid rapid infusion ….
