(5,649 posts)CONCLUSION:
In patients with ischaemic LVSD, 8 weeks supplement of CoQ improved mitochondrial function and FMD; and the improvement of FMD correlated with the change in mitochondrial function, suggesting that CoQ improved endothelial function via reversal of mitochondrial dysfunction in patients with ischaemic LVSD.
my interpretation: (In patients with Left Ventricular Systolic dysfunction, supplementation with CoQ10 improved mitochondrial (cell energy) function and the functioning of the cells lining the blood vessels - nothing about random message boards)
CONCLUSIONS:
This study suggests that oral Q-ter and creatine, added to conventional drug therapy, exert some beneficial effect on physical performance in stable systolic CHF. Results may support the design of larger studies aimed at assessing the long-term effects of this treatment on functional status and harder outcomes.
my interpretation (emphasis mine, but this one seems to be saying that adding creatine and CoQ10, when added to conventional therapy has some benefit on physical performance in patients with systolic congestive heart failure)
CONCLUSION:
The association of Pycnogenol and CoQ10 may offer an important therapeutic option with a very good tolerability that improves heart failure management without side effects.
my interpretation: (Pycnogenol and CoQ10 may be good to use to manage heart failure)
Not a thing about "reversing disease by reading random posting on a message boards". In fact, the second study seems to indicate that these are used IN ADDITION to conventional drug therapy and does not prove your point that it can be used to "reverse disease" by itself at all, much less by reading random postings.
