Injected Vitamin K Can Kill a Newborn

This article we discuss and link to has FALSE INFORMATION – It states as fact:

What are the harms, risks, or side effects of the vitamin K shot? Did you know Vitamin K (injectable) has a block box warning?

Vitamin K is one of the very few interventions with just about no risk of side effects except the temporary pain of an injection. Again, nothing is 100%, but the only documented effects are bruising at the injection site in some babies. After all, it’s an essential vitamin. FALSE

Must it be a big-pharma-backed article, right? Let’s find out. Yes, we are using big, bold letters because this is where the real misinformation comes from— big pharma and the mainstream media. Since they can’t battle the truth and science, they create stories.

In the USA, the infant mortality rate in 2018 was 5.815 live birth deaths per 1000 to 8.2 deaths per thousand depending on the source and listed as number 47 in the world. Japan has two deaths per 1,000. 72 rounds of 17 vaccination might play a part, and so may the Vitamin K shot. The United States has the worst overall child mortality rate compared with 19 other wealthy nations. https://www.forbes.com/sites/tarahaelle/2016/08/19/heres-the-truth-about-vitamin-k-for-newborns/#35fcc1f41474

HERE IS THE TRUTH – Vitamin K Black Box Warning

Here is the Vitamin K Black Box Warning:

WARNING – INTRAVENOUS AND INTRAMUSCULAR USE

Severe reactions, including fatalities, have occurred during and immediately after INTRAVENOUS injection of AquaMEPHYTON* (Phytonadione), even when precautions have been taken to dilute the AquaMEPHYTON and to avoid rapid infusion. Severe reactions, including fatalities, have also been reported following INTRAMUSCULAR administration.

Typically these severe reactions have resembled hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis, including shock and cardiac and/or respiratory arrest. Some patients have exhibited these severe reactions to receiving AquaMEPHYTON for the first time. Therefore the INTRAVENOUS and INTRAMUSCULAR routes should be restricted to those situations where the subcutaneous route is not feasible, and the serious risk involved is considered justified.

From the Package Insert – WARNINGS

Benzyl alcohol as a preservative in Bacteriostatic Sodium Chloride Injection has been associated with toxicity in newborns. Data are unavailable on the toxicity of other preservatives in this age group. There is no evidence to suggest that the small amount of benzyl alcohol contained in AquaMEPHYTON, when used as recommended, is associated with toxicity.

An immediate coagulant effect should not be expected after administration of phytonadione. It takes a minimum of 1 to 2 hours for measurable improvement in the prothrombin time. Whole blood or component therapy may also be necessary if bleeding is severe. Phytonadione will not counteract the anticoagulant action of heparin.

When vitamin K1 is used to correct excessive anticoagulant-induced hypoprothrombinemia, anticoagulant therapy still being indicated, the patient is again faced with the clotting hazards existing prior to starting the anticoagulant therapy. Phytonadione is not a clotting agent, but overzealous therapy with vitamin K1 may restore conditions which originally permitted.

👀If your healthcare provider is leading you to believe that there aren’t safe and effective alternatives to the toxic vitamin K shot, time to call them out on their ignorance.

The amount of Vit K injected is 20,000 times the infant level, and the injection may also contain preservatives which are known toxins to the infant.
Vitamin K is a cause of jaundice and scleroderma-like patches in the newborn among other possible adverse effects.

WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS OF PHYTONADIONE?

Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

A phytonadione injection may cause a serious allergic reaction. Tell your caregiver if you feel weak, tingly, light-headed, warm, itchy, or if you have chest pain, trouble breathing, a cold sweat, or swelling in your face.

Call your doctor at once if you have:

unusual or unpleasant taste in your mouth;
a light-headed feeling, like you might pass out;
blue colored lips;
jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes);
trouble breathing;
weak but rapid pulse; or
skin redness, itching, or a hard lump where an injection was given.

Common side effects may include:

dizziness;
flushing (warmth, redness, or tingly feeling);
changes in your sense of taste;
sweating; or
pain or swelling where the medicine was injected.

This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur.

If your healthcare provider is leading you to believe that there aren’t safe and effective alternatives to the toxic vitamin K shot, time to call them out on their ignorance.

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT PHYTONADIONE?

Never use phytonadione in larger amounts, or for longer than recommended by your doctor.

Other Countries Using Oral Vitamin K

Other countries aren’t such big fans of the vitamin K shot either.

In 1992, the Netherlands eliminated the vitamin K shot in favor of administration of 1 mg oral Vitamin K at birth, followed by daily doses of 25 mcg from week 1 to 3 months of age in breastfed infants.

The result of this change? No cases of Vitamin K Deficiency Bleeding (VKDB) – even late-onset!

In Switzerland, a slightly different oral vitamin K protocol is used, which consists of weekly 1 mg oral doses for 2-3 months.

If your healthcare provider leads you to believe that there aren’t safe and effective alternatives to the toxic vitamin K shot, time to call them out on their ignorance.
