User's Guide to Coenzyme Q10

This little handbook is essential reading to everyone.CoQ10 or Ubiquinol is found in all cells and particularly the mitrochondria of muscle cells and particularly those of the heart. Statin Drugs are known to block the melavelent pathway which prevents the production of cholesterol; an essential waxy steroid necessary for healthy body and brain/nerve function; and CoQ10 is a casualty of this blockage. If you are taking Statins and your GP has not prescribed CoQ10 you should read this book and go back to your Dr and question why this supplement hasnt been prescribed.CoQ10 encourages the energy in the mitrochondria of our cells it also acts as an anti-oxidant, preventing free radical damage. When we think of muscle dysfunction (myopathy) we tend to think of skeletal muscle but our heart is the most powerful and essential of our muscles, so when you read the long list of known and acknowledged side effects of Statins remember your heart muscle. One of the many side effects of Statins is heart failure, due to poor heart muscle function. If you take Statins you should read Duane Graveline, M.D.'s books, he has published around 5 or six, having taken Statins and suffered from doing so. His books give scientific data, since he is a medical scientist and M.D. and an astronaut working at NASSA, he offers a great deal of information you should know, but may not have been told about Statins and their natural alternatives.Remember also if you are taking Statins for high cholesterol to ask you Dr what has caused you to have high cholesterol, SINCE HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA, (high blood cholesterol levels), isnt a disorder its a symptoms of a disorder. This is essential since hypothyroidism is one of the main causes of high cholesterol and if you have the symptoms of hypothyroidism you should not take Statins, they are contraindicated.Ok so back to this book, it is a useful handbook. Due to it concise nature it gets down to the nitty gritty, so there are no case studies etc. I like it for that alone! But in being concise it is limited in some respects. Hoever, if you read this book and find you need more information you can explore other books later, this is good for starters.Everyone should especially as they age, take CoQ10, ubiquinol. If you are older you should get Ubiquinone as this is more easily used by older bodies. Whichever form you take, take it and if you have taken or are taking Statins you MUST TAKE IT. Read the book and get the information first hand.

Interesting and informative read about this much hailed supplement.

interesting book

ＣＯＱ１０（コエンザイム・補酵素Ｑテン）という名前をよく耳にするようになり、和書を探しても１冊くらいしかないので、この本を買ってみました。抗酸化、加齢抑止、心臓、高血圧、糖尿、神経症など、素人でもわかる英単語で書いてあるのでわたしでも読めました。発見からノーベル賞をもらうまでの概説、ミトコンドリアなどの説明もあり。医学、薬学のしろうと、健康志向の人向け。

User's Guide to Coenzyme Q10 is an excellent guide to good health. The rewards of taking CoQ10 are apparently endless. Two years ago, my brother's doctor said he needed to be on a pacemaker. I got him started on 600mg of CoQ10 a day. Three months later the same doctor said my brother's heart was normal. His kidney filtration also improved. The cancer on his hand didn't return. His energy increased. He's 84 years old. Three years ago I was getting urine bladder infection about every two months. The last time I had it, it was bad, buring. But instead of going to emergency immediately, I took 400mg of CoQ10 daily for seven days. Then I went to the doctor. They tested my urine, found no infection - so, no need for antibiotics that time. The doctor asked me how that happened. I told him I tried 400mg daily of CoQ10 for seven days and it cured the infection. I don't think the doc beleived me. I haven't had urine bladder infection since. At that time I increased my C0Q10 to 600mg daily (because I take a statin drug for cholesterol). I've been taking 600mg daily for three years. Another thing. Three years ago I was diagnosed with arthritis of my spine, hips and pelvis. I was in a lot of pain. My doctor prescribed a narcotic three times a day. That was three years ago. I'm 74. After taking 600mg daily of CoQ10 for three years my pain has completely gone - no more pain killer drugs. I can't say enough good things about CoQ10. But, it's expensive. I suggest getting it from Puritan.com. That's where I get mine from. I buy the 60ea, 200mg softshell capsuls. How much CoQ10 a person needs depends on the person's age. You can find a chart on the Internet that shows how fast CoQ10 production in the body drops off with age. Also, you can tell whether you're taking too much. If you're taking too much, you will have so much energy you can't sleep well. Don't stop taking it, just lower the amount until it's comfortable for you. There are a couple of things I didn't mention. I had all white hair three years ago. It's very gradually turning dark again and I'm growing more hair. Oh, yes, I almost forgot: CoQ10 will give your sex life a lift, too!
