Is Lack of Coenzyme
Q10
Dragging You Down?
Statin Drugs can
rob you of Coenzyme Q10 (Co Q10)!
If you are taking Lipitor, Crestor or generic statin drugs to lower your cholesterol you should not be without CoQ10.
Contrary to the persuasive advertising of the pharmaceutical
giants, Lipitor, Crestor, Vytorin and their generic
counterparts have been proven to have
serious negative effects on the human body.
And they haven’t been shown to help
you live one day longer.
Dr. Duane Graveline, MD, a
former NASA astronaut who was one of the scientists selected
for the Apollo space program, relates his story of how Lipitor was
the source of his transient global amnesia (TGA).
“I
soon realized the adverse reactions involved far more than
impaired cognition, including personality change, myopathy,
neuropathy and a chronic neuromuscular degeneration similar
to ALS, and all statins were contributing to these adverse
reactions, not just Lipitor.”
Dr. Beatrice Golomb, Assistant
Professor and her associates at the University Of California
San Diego School Of Medicine have collected thousands of
stories from patients describing the side effects from
statin drugs. Following is a summary of their studies:
Lipitor and
other statin drug side effects include:
·
Changes in liver
function.
·
Muscle pain
and/or myopathy.
·
Memory and
Concentration loss.
·
Depression and
Irritability.
·
Higher rates of
death from suicide and accidents.
·
Headaches, Joint
and Abdominal Pain.
·
Peripheral
Neuropathy.
·
Sleep problems,
sexual function problems, fatigue, dizziness and a sense of
detachment
Many of these side effects are caused by shortage of CoQ10.
Statin drugs dramatically lower levels of coenzyme Q10 in
the body!
Other drugs, such as beta blockers and some antidepressants, also interfere with Coenzyme Q10.
If you are
taking Lipitor, Crestor or Vytorin you should be taking the
The new form of CoQ10 - called Accel.
It is 800% stronger, and stays in your bloodstream almost 4
times longer than regular CoQ10.
Taking cholesterol-lowering drugs can literally
"kill" CoQ10 synthesis.
"Coenzyme-Q10,
commonly known as CoQ10, is energy on call." So says, Dr. Stephen Sinatra, a board certified cardiologist who
integrates conventional medicine with nutrition at his New England Heart
and Longevity Center. Sinatra continues,
"I have long
considered CoQ10 a wonder nutrient because of its ability to support heart
health."
Coenzyme Q10
(CoQ10) is one of the most potent
antioxidants known. It provides
the "energizing spark" that
enables the heart muscle to pump
blood more efficiently, and it's a
great scavenger of free radicals.
More than 100 clinical studies at
major universities and hospitals have documented the actions of Coenzyme Q10.
CoQ10 has value in combating various forms of
cardiovascular disease, reducing the number and
size of some tumors and treating gum disease. In fact,
according to Nutrition News, it has extended the life span of laboratory
animals up to 56%.
What is
Coenzyme Q10?
In the book All About Coenzyme Q-10, author
Ray Sahelian, M.D., reports that CoQ-10 was discovered in 1957 by Frederick Crane, Ph.D., working at the University of Wisconsin.
The following year, says
Sahelian, Karl Folkers, Ph.D., and coworkers at Merck, Sharpe and Dome
synthesized the orange molecule in the laboratory.
In the early 1970s,
there were discoveries that people with gum disease and heart disease were
deficient in CoQ-10. The momentum began to build and, by the early
1980's, Coenzyme Q-10 had reached a level of consumption in Japan that rivaled that
country’s five top medications.
Coenzyme Q10 And The Heart
The heart is one of
the few organs in the body to function continuously without resting; therefore,
the heart muscle requires the highest level of energetic support. And any
condition that cause a decrease in CoQ10 could impair the energetic capacity of
the heart, thus leaving the tissues more susceptible to free radical attack.
Since free radical stress is more pronounced in advancing
stages of heart failure, the heart becomes even more vulnerable in these
situations. Higher doses of CoQ10 will be required in cases of severe heart
failure.
CoQ10 and the immune
system
Coenzyme
is a powerful antioxidant that energizes the cells
that produce antibodies which
identify and fight harmful
foreign invaders. It's like a a
cellular wake-up call to your
natural disease-fighters!
Dietary sources of CoQ10
The
relatively small amounts of CoQ10 in the diet come mainly from beef heart, pork,
chicken livers and fish (especially salmon, mackerel and sardines). Other good
food sources are peanuts and broccoli.
The average person only gets 2 - 5 mg CoQ10 each day from
diet alone, far below the amount needed for optimum health. Aging, illness and
statin drugs
deplete the body's stores even further.
Bio-availability is the key.
No supplement will help you if your body can't use it
effectively. CoQ10 is a notoriously bulky nutrient that's quite hard
to absorb and therefore the type of supplement you choose can
make all the difference.

I've spent hundreds of hours sifting
through clinical research for the latest information
we need to

to be.
I'd like to introduce you to
Dr. Al Sears, MD.
Dr.
Sears graduated from the University of South
Florida, College of Medicine with honors in Internal
Medicine, Neurology, Psychiatry and Physical Medicine.
Dr. Al is Board Certified in Anti-Aging Medicine a member
of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine
He also has been a lifelong advocate of nutritional
supplementation and exercise programs. He is an ACE
certified fitness trainer, has a thriving practice in
Florida and has written thirteen books on health and
nutrition. Here's an announcement from Dr. Al about an
exceptional new form of Coenzyme Q10 that is eight
times more powerful than normal formulations!
 "I want to tell you
about a meeting I had with the most respected CoQ10
researcher in the world. Dr. Mae from Japan stopped by my
offices to talk to me about his latest breakthrough. It’s a
new form of Coenzyme Q10 that’s 8 times more powerful than
conventional formulations.
"Being 8 times more
powerful doesn’t just mean that it’s 8 times better. The
truth is more remarkable. This new form of CoQ10 will give
you the opportunity to make gains on a scale that defies
comparison.
"Conventional CoQ10
works wonders, but the problem I’ve had is keeping my
patients’ blood levels high enough. They often require high
doses, and that sometimes means taking 4 to 6 capsules a day
of at least 200 mg. That’s expensive…
"But this new form,
which I call Accel,
has the best coenzyme Q10 absorption rate, which
lets me give a single 50 mg capsule to the patients who used
to need half a dozen. And that’s just the beginning…
"The
best thing is that a new study confirms our "secret"
vitality booster...this
space age pill can actually
double your energy!"
