8. In a way yes... they are much harder to fly for one thing...on the other hand, key energy

producing/converting enzymes proteins etc (such as CoQ10, intrinsic factor for B12 absorption, L-carnitine) and others can protect our nervous systems from the effects of many degenerative neurological illlnesses and they can alleviate the symptoms of CHF. You probably don't remember the poster whose wife had a ridiculously low ejection fraction... who after starting on CoQ10 traveled the world with him.

This probably would never had happened if this poster hadn't read about the merits of CoQ10 somewhere, possibly in a discussion forum on the net. The results they BOTH received were imho priceless.

If fact, the poster had said that it certainly could not have occurred if they had not given it a try. I doubt very seriously if they had been put onto it by a person who went to med school only to be told that supplements cannot be trusted and that using them is a form of witchcraft.

What is CoQ10 used for?

Many claims are made about CoQ10. It is said to help in cardiovascular conditions, especially heart failure, as well as cancer, muscular dystrophy, and periodontal disease. It is also said to boost energy and speed recovery from exercise. Some people take it to help reduce the effects certain medicines can have on the heart, muscles, and other organs.

Cardiovascular conditions

For more than 20 years, researchers have studied CoQ10 for the treatment of heart failure. Researchers disagree about the benefits of CoQ10 for people with heart failure. Studies show that it has little or no effect in treating heart failure or angina. It is not recommended for people with these health problems.1, 2, 3 It is helpful for people taking prescription drugs that may damage heart or skeletal muscles.

Studies show that CoQ10 can help lower blood pressure.4

Cancer

In 1961, scientists saw that people with cancer had little CoQ10 in their blood. They found low CoQ10 blood levels in people with myeloma, lymphoma, and cancers of the breast, lung, prostate, pancreas, colon, kidney, and head and neck. Some research has suggested that CoQ10 helps the immune system and may be useful as a secondary treatment for cancer.
