TESTIMONIALS ABOUT VITAMIN K2 MK-4 FROM EMU OIL
A child age six was struggling in first grade; she was having discipline problems and was having a hard time learning to
read. After taking emu oil for a month she could read, and during the last teachers conference, her teacher gave her
great compliments on her behavior.
A medical doctor in her late forties noticed a small cavity about a year ago. It was discolored and craterous. Recently
she had a dental examination. The dentist could find no cavity and no receding gums. She attributes vitamin K MK-4

in emu oil for activating the vitamin K-dependent protein osteocalcin and healing the cavity.
A woman in her early seventies had undiagnosed Lyme disease for sixteen years. Her joints had all been seriously affected,
and her body had so much inflammation that she was in constant pain. After taking emu oil for about five months, her
inflammation was down, joint pain gone and bone density increased for the first time in years. Her doctor said, “Wow,

A woman in her forties after surgery developed open sores on her arms and legs that itched and would not heal after
nine years. After internal and topical use for two weeks of emu oil, her skin was clear.
