Default It is not snake oil to me or my body

Hi,
Co Q 10 is not new to me. I have taken it for years. Prior to that I did a lot of research and I have done a lot of CEU's for renewal of my nursing license on supplements. I continue to study it / them esp since I read a survey that doctors (mostly cardiologist) who answered the survey question
"What would You take if you could only take ONE daily supplement?"
Almost all said Ubiquinone (sp?) or Co Q10.


My husband's cardiologist recommended it as well as pharmaceutical grade fish oil. Both of these are expensive because you need to take pure fish oil w/o contaminates and the Co Q10 needs to be of the highly absorbable type. Bouth are touted as useful in neuroligical diseases. I've done my own research over the years and never saw Co Q fail, helping my friend to the point during congestive heart failure to reverse it and he was able to climb stairs. It is said it will provide oxygen to tissues. I know it stops the color changes on days I remember to take it, esp every 12 hrs.
I can't speak of the man whose research I follow because he sells the stuff.
I've never told anyone about it except suffering friends, until right here, right now. As we age, levels in our blood decline. To me that is one answer to why our hearts "sometimes" may weaken as we age even tho one may not have had a heart attack. “It is unthinkable for me to practice good cardiology without the help of Coenzyme Q10. And, for the thousands of people with cardiac conditions so severe that they need a heart transplant, CoQ10 may be a suitable alternative that not only enhances the quality of life, but extends survival as well.”
