A lowers K2, D raises it

I am opposed to supplementation of anything except D.
K2 is something that just needs to be in adequate supply on a daily basis throughout your life. I wouldn't really expect to see any obvious results from supplementation for a period. In studies it has shown benefits for heart disease and other problems.
It is possible that mk-4 had some positive effects, I do not know. With vitamin D, when there was a strong deficit, I felt the benefits.
"I am opposed to supplementation of anything except D." - I am too but if you are seriously ill, you really need supplementation... in chelation, it is absolutely essential.

And what about selenium, iodine...some soils have little. Or magnesium if someone has long-term stress?

This is why I suggest seafood since it is the only guaranteed source of all trace elements we need. Ocean water contains them all. I know you are concerned about contaminants but this concern does not stand up to objective scrutiny due to the fact that toxins like mercury are not present in high amounts in a lot of seafood and land based food, air and water is often contaminated anyway.
I have some Magnesium oil that I use to rub on my skin once in a while. Magnesium body levels seem to have more to do with the persons state of health (Hypervitaminosis A?) rather than what their intake is. A person that is not in a state of health is likely to have all sorts of nutrient imbalances, not just magnesium. Should they try to manage their nutrients and act as their bodies chemist? I don't think that is wise and I think that will probably create more problems than it solves.
With the current level of scientific understanding we have it is believed that DHA/EPA is essential. Since iodine, selenium and DHA are so important then we should be eating foods that contain these micronutrients. Paleolithic man consumed brains, thyroids, lizards, eggs, freshwater fish and insects which contained these micronutrients. Seafood and eggs seem like the most convenient and socially appropriate option for us. Paleolithic man also ranged over wide expanses so was less affected by micronutrient deficiencies due to soil micronutrient content. Later on dairy products became a crucial source of iodine.
