Guest guest Posted March 17, 2000 Report Share Posted March 17, 2000 I get my CoQ10 from CFIDS & Fibromyalgia Health Resource www.ImmuneSupport.com I get the soft gel 100 mg soft gel with Vita-E and take 2 a day. They also have the wafer(sublingual) which is 200 mg which contains Vita-E. It is $44.99 for 30 wafers. I am a discount shopper and get 33% off and it arrives each month. If your order is over $50 there is not shipping charge. Part of the proceeds from their sales goes to help research CFIDS. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2000 Report Share Posted April 1, 2000 Hi, Thank you for the info :-).. I have had a very hard time with the doctors treatment of me at least locally, and appreciate you writing. And Beth, Dr Cohen doesn't want me to have a muscle biopsy because general anesthetic is used (although why this is necessary is beyond me), which could result in neurologic damage or death. I imagine he is thinking of malignent hyperthermia. But also said reason for not wanting to use general is because of cardio problems - same ones that local docs say I don't have. He spoke of a needle biopsy but they are not done at CC. I want to welcome the new people to this list. Hearing a doctor and PhD helped me pull quite a bit of the CFIDS mystery together for me. This is first day I have really been online for any length of time, so please forgive the late welcomes. Take care, Christie ---------------- > >, > >Thank you so much for posting info on coQ10!!

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2000 Report Share Posted September 23, 2000 , I went off of coQ 10 for a period,, and then back on again. I think i could tell the difference in energy and mental clarity-some! But if your peripheral circulation is impacted by it don't you imagine it is helping the circulation to your organs as well? I take grape seed extract just for the sake of improved visual sharpness.definitely worth it. So maybe we need to do one pill per sympyom. Simetimes it seeks like that. And alpha lipoic acid just because I believe its good fer 'ya :-). My experience with this disease is that if you just go with what makes you feel better, which is very tempting, that you may find you have short-changed yourself in the long run. For example, caffeine makes me cheerful, painfree, and energetic-- for a while. And then I pay the piper. `I think it was Steve B said Cheny cautions against stimulants, as leading to serious early burnout. I agree, but what really qualifies as " stimulants " ? Maybe anything that gives you more energy to live, without actiually addressing the disease process. In the mid eighties, before I had ever heard about cfids I started taking DL- phenylalanine It helped w. the terrible neurological/cognitive problems,+ w. depression, + w. pain. When I learned I was in fact enhancing neurotransmission with it, but nobody could tell me what the long-term effects would be, I went ahead anyhow, because there was no way -or reason- to keep living the way I was. I try to keep a balance between looking out for my longterm well-being when I can see a way to, and also find whatever can make the present less wretched.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2000 Report Share Posted September 24, 2000 Hi , I don't know about your medical situation, but it sounds like you might need a higher dose. I do best when I take 300mg in divided doses. Use softgels, they are easier to absorb. Also, the brand I use contains vitamin E which might help make it more effective. As far as I know, there are not any adverse reactions from taking a higher dose, but it can be expensive. Yes, you can get it from food. The highest levels are in beef heart (YUK!) which my dogs get at the first indication of ilness. Raw of course. The pill form is grown on yeast and then extracted. Here are some websites you can read: United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation, www.umdf.org if you click on links from their site you can go to the International CoQ10 Association. The direct link to their website is wwwcsi.unian.it/coenzymeQ/indexd.html If you want buy a book or search medline I would suggest starting with the work of Dr. Karl Folker. He laid the foundation for most of the research being done today. It'll give you a good start. Be Well, In egroups, lindaj@h... wrote: > I have another question.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2000 Report Share Posted September 24, 2000 hi . i've spent many thousands of dollars over the years on homeopathic remedies, including coq10. nothing has made a noticeable difference anywhere except in my pocket book. i've had cfs and fm for 10+ years now. i'm not trying to burst any of your " hope " bubbles. i've been through all of this for so long now. something comes along to build up my hope, deplete my money, and ends up doing nothing except crushing my hope and sending me into depression. i don't know how long you've had cfs or what you've tried so far. i'm just giving you my experiences. take care, Spacerobber@...

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2000 Report Share Posted September 26, 2000 Hi, , >Also, anyone benefited from using CoQ10? I have been on 200 mg CoQ10, sublingual, for some years. My MD who originally Rxed it said that he could see a big improvement in my mental function from it - I think that is its main effect, mental not on fatigue. From my biochem text: CoQ (there are a group of them, with CoQ10 being the most common in animals & people) is " a lipid-soluble electron-carrying coenzyme. " It hangs out in the inner membrane of mitochondria, and is used in the passing of electrons from organic molecules to O2 during oxidative phosphorylation. Increasing its level should help to increase your aerobic metabolism, decreasing your need for anaerobic metabolism. Aerobic metabolism is important in generating body heat, so having warmer hands & feet makes sense. That suggests that it is working for you, so IMO (not a med doctor) you should continue it.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2000 Report Share Posted November 15, 2000 Somewhere I remember someone posting about Hulda rewriting her original Cure for all Diseases Book. And in it she uses a large dose of CoQ10 as a cleanse. I've got 3 of her books, but haven't found this one. Does anyone know what dosage CoQ10 is needed for a cleanse? I'm allergic to walnuts, so am hesitant to try the green walnut cleanse. But I already take 60 units of vitamin C daily to strengthen my cardiovascular system. Thanks M.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2000 Report Share Posted December 6, 2000 Hi Thank you for the info. According to the calculation formula that you gave me I weigh 140 lbs. or 63 Kilos. So at 5-10 mg. per kilo I would be taking 315-630 mg. per day ?! WOW! You said that some people notice a dramatic differnce right away. wonder what kind of a difference?

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2000 Report Share Posted December 6, 2000 a; Dramatic difference = feel better, more energy, longer exercise tolerance = essentially an amelioration of symptoms. Some people can tell right awaw if they have missed a doseage of Co Q10! Another thing which people take is Carnitor .... pharmacetical quality L-Carnitine produced by Sigma Tau. In BC it is covered under the pharmacy plan! It helps with the assimilation of Co Q and the long chain fatty acids. About the night sweats ... it is possible that it is an autonomic dysfunction also! I have had drenching night sweats for a very long time. Since I went on Carnitor the night sweats are rare events! Jean a wrote: > Hi > Thank you for the info.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2001 Report Share Posted March 13, 2001 Here is my 2 cents. I know that CoQ10 is contraindicated with blood thinners, particularly coumadin. But the amount of heparin that we take is very very low compared to a normal dosage. I am not worried at all and I take plenty of " blood thinning " supplements while I am on heparin. My blood is still thick. Of course, I'm not a doctor, but that is what I do.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 Bev wrote: I think you need to visit the www VitaLine .com website and read all the research on this wonderful supplement. Until this past year, our 91 year old physician who continued to practice in Northville, Michigan 2 mornings a week, was absolutely convinced of its effect on so many things. He even took it. He was the best diagnostician in Michigan. He had treated Lyme Disease over the years and had helped many people because of his practicing knowledge. Before he died, he told me about several Cancer patients that this one supplement had put his patient in to a remission. These were people he knew in this town also on a social basis. The benefits to the heart are endless. He also told me that with Lyme Disease, I should be taking 200 - 400 mg daily if I could afford the price. Vita Line is a company that only professionals are able to order from and their products can be trusted by physicians that recommend them. If there is scientific proof, indeed let me know. For now, I will go with this man's recommendation. He was a wonderful General Practicioner and love medicine. Ask your physician to order the information that Vitaline Corporation can send him. Vista line's Coenzyme Q10 products are listed in the " Physician's Desk Reference " too. Just my opinion, but I remain convenced of its benefits and with all our systems being attacked, we need all the defense we can get. >> Hi Bev My LLMD is a researcher and well respected physician. When he added CoQ10 to Lyme bacteria he observed a marked increase in the activity and growth of the bacteria. Sugar also caused this type of reaction. While CoQ10 is a wonderful supplement for some people, it may actually feed the spirochetes. I for one am not willing to take the chance. I had done an elimination and then reintroduction of supplements. When I reintroduced CoQ10 I felt worse. My doctor shared his observations with me after I told him I had discontinued CoQ10. It is interesting that without my knowledge, my own self test concurred with my doctor's lab observations. We do what we feel works for us. It was my choice not to continue taking CoQ10, and it is the best course of action for me.

I also was on CoQ and feeling worse and worse but now I am on the IV rocephin...all my lymph nodes are swollen and painful in neck. That choky feeling I had at the beginning of this illness is also back and luckily my night time meds allow me to sleep and forget that I ever had lyme. The one respite of my 24/7 existence.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 Hi, I talked w. LLMD just yesterday about this supplement, as my nutritionist had recommended it. I learned something interesting: we shouldn't take anti-oxidants (which CoQ10 is). They help wash the antibiotics we are taking out of our system - that is, making them less effective. My LLMD has been pretty adamant about not taking certain supplements for this reason. (So, whereas a cancer patient would want to take CoQ10, our situation is different). Just wanted to chime in. I know we're all following advice of people we like and trust; there's just so much that needs to be found out.

It is supposed to be a huge immune booster to help your bodys t-cells and to recognize difficult disease. My nutritionist reccomened it but I have never heard of it and was kind of hesitant as it is a liquid tht is frozen and sounded weird. Any information would be much appreciated.

The other day somebody on the lyme list said they couldn't take CoQ10, and another person said her doctor told her not to. So I figured what they heck. So for 2 days now I have taken all the supplements except the CoQ10 and I have felt fine.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 I think I have been having some reactions to Co- Q10 also. I upped the dosage & have been getting some new symptoms, neurological pains & sensations & nausea. I am going to go off it for a while & see if the symptoms stop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
