mepron NOT with Q10 or milk thistle

[Guest guest]

fyi, i found this info in web search on milk thistle and mepron,

http://www.cpnhelp.org/?q=liverprotection

fyi, i found this reference on burrascono's protocol on ilads site:

http://www.ilads.org/burrascano_1102.htm

under supplements required for Basic Daily Regimen:

" CO-Q10 (ubiquinone) — required if not taking the prescription drug

atovaquone (Mepron) "

" Mepron is an analog of CoQ10. An analog of a nutrient has a

structurally similar chemical composition that competes with the

nutrient. Giving CoQ10 would decrease the effectiveness of mepron

because the organism would get its CoQ10 from the supplement defeating

the purpose of mepron. "

" Atovaquone -- an analogue of ubiquinone used in the treatment of

pneumocystis pneumonia.

Mechanism of Action -- The exact mechanism is unknown. Atovaquone may

inhibit the mitochondrial electron transport chain that would inhibit

ATP synthesis (this is the most likely mechanism, given its similarity

to ubiquinone) or it may decrease nucleic acid synthesis. "

and, referring to one of the sites above:

" And here is probably the most significant piece of info indicating that

Mepron works by competing with Q10. In this respect if you take

supplemental Q10, you are restoring electron transport in the microbe

thereby rendering Mepron less effective. "
