What if two cheap vitamins could cut autism, ADHD, miscarriages, and COVID by 50% or more? The Secrets of Vitamins D3 & K2 reveals how D3K2& B9 delivers safer pregnancies, healthier babies, and an 80% drop in deadly Neural Tube Defects—while the government’s been slow to act. With Evidence-Based Medicine, you’ll learn dosage tricks and disease prevention strategies to transform your family’s health.
Explore how Vitamins D3, K2, and B9 support healthier pregnancies and may lower risks for autism and ADHD. Dr. David Grimes, MD, offers science-backed tips for you and your baby—consult your physician!
Want a quick guide? Check the chapter summaries ahead.
Chapter 1:
Sex, Timing, and Control – The Foundations of a Healthier Future
Teen Sex Myths: 1960s Tampa locker rooms spread misinformation; no formal sex ed led to high teen pregnancy rates.
Sex Stats: 95% of adults have sex by 45 (Kinsey); 40-50% of U.S. high schoolers, 10-15% of 8th graders are active (CDC, 2021); global average start at 17 (WHO).
Frequency: Young adults (18-29) average 112 times/year; teens vary from monthly to 1-2 times/week in steady pairs.
Contraception Gaps: U.S. teen pregnancy (18.8/1,000) vs. Netherlands (4.5/1,000) due to Dutch LARC/pill use (85%) vs. U.S. condom reliance (60%, 15% failure).
Sex Ed Barriers: 37 U.S. states push abstinence-only; resources like Bedsider.org, clinics, and insurance help teens in restrictive areas.
Pleasure Disparity: Girls lag in orgasm rates (20-30% vs. boys’ 60-100%) due to biology, culture; vibrators boost success (70-85%).
Aging Shifts: Menopause, ED affect sex; HRT, pelvic therapy, and communication extend peaks into 50s-60s.
Chapter 2:
CHOICE – The Game-Changer in Birth Control
LARC Defined: Copper/progesterone IUDs, Nexplanon implants; <1% failure rate vs. pills (8-10%) per CHOICE Project (2007-2011).
Adoption Growth: U.S. teen LARC use rose to 13% by 2025 (from 2% in 2010); Colorado hit 35%, cutting teen pregnancies to 6.3/1,000.
Why It Works: 86% stick with LARC at 1 year vs. 55% for non-LARC; no user error possible.
Limitations: Doesn’t prevent STDs—condoms needed for non-monogamous couples.
Access Issues: ACA/Medicaid cover costs, but myths (e.g., infertility) and Southern state policies limit reach.
Chapter 4:
Nexplanon – The Tiny Rod That Rules
How It Works: Arm implant releases progestin, thickens mucus, stops ovulation; 99%+ effective for 3-5 years.
Pros: Reversible (fertility returns fast); no STD protection—condoms needed for non-monogamy.
Side Effects: Spotting (common, fades in 6-12 months), rare headaches, nausea; most love lighter/no periods.
Access: Covered by insurance/Medicaid; free at clinics; insertion quick, mild arm soreness post-op.
Real Case: Patient switched from tubal ligation to manage endometriosis pain—Nexplanon wasn’t an option then.
Chapter 9:
Take Control with LARC
LARC Power: 99.9% effective (Nexplanon, IUDs); CHOICE showed 75% pick it, cutting teen births/abortions.
D3K2B9 Benefits: D3 (>55 ng/ml) cuts autism/ADHD 50%+; K2 (200 mcg) boosts bones; B9 (4-5 mg) prevents 70%+ NTDs.
Combo Impact: LARC stops unplanned pregnancies; D3K2B9 optimizes planned ones—50%+ defect reduction.
Emotional Gain: Stress-free sex, healthier babies, long-term maternal health (e.g., less osteoporosis).
Call to Action: Use LARC, start D3K2B9 daily, push for higher D3 studies—control your future now.
