Ubiquinol a Breakthrough For People With Heart Disease, Liver Damage, And Cancer Concerns

The most commonly recognized supplemental for of CoQ10 has been known as "ubiquinone" or "coenzyme Q10"  Now, Japan's largest producer of CoQ10, has found a way to stabilize a pure and BIO-IDENTICAL form of the nutrient.  It is called ubiquinol, and it's the downline metabolite of CoQ10.  In other words, it's the biologically ACTIVE version of CoQ10 so it's stronger, and it slips right into your cells.  There is no need to worry about whether or not your body (and your gut) can convert the CoQ10 to it's active form (ubiquinol). This is REALLY IMPORTANT:

As you age, not only do you produce less CoQ10, but your body becomes less efficient at converting CoQ10 to the active form - Ubiquinol

Certain people have a real hard time converting the CoQ10 to ubiquinol, especially people with diabetes, GI problems, autoimmune disorders, and those with heart disease.  So ubiquinol would be ideal for people who fit in this group.  But because you get higher plasma concentrations with ubiquinol, I recommend it for everyone.  It's definitely new and improved and worth it becuase ubiquinol is a powerful antioxidant that nourishes your muscle cells.  It can help you with leg cramps, especially those related to the drug mugging effect of your medications (see below).  It can improve the look of your skin, it can improve liver function and detoxification.  It can increase ATP in the cells, so it's an energizing molecule...it's great for fatigue and low thyroid!!! 

There are hundreds of medications which could be slowly stealing the life out of you. I believe that when a drug steals a nutrient, you will develop a new symptom.  You may not realize that your new symptom is related to a drug-nutrient depletion. Please consider all the reasons why you might not be feeling as good as you used to, it's not always black and white, and based on some lab result.  If you are weak and tired, it may be your blood pressure medicine, or your statin, or your hormones, you'll see these drugs on the list below. 

There Are Absurdly Inexpensive Way to Feel Better

The subject of vitamins, minerals and nutrients is explored in-depth in Drug Muggers, which explains to you how to feel better when you develop a symptom (so you don't have to start yet another new drug!!!)  Wouldn't that be wonderful?  If you knew what medicines were depleting a nutrient, you could quickly fix that deficiency and hopefully erase the symptoms that plague you (without having to resort to more and more pills).  The following list of medications are those that can interfere with your heart-healthy nutrient, CoQ10 and therefore ubiquinol.  Read the list and see if you're medicine is on it.  I've tried to include as many international brand names as possible, but it helps if you know the "generic" name of your medicine. 
With many wishes for great health, here is the BIG LIST of:

This completes the list of drug muggers, updated January 15, 2009

If you think you are being mugged by one of these drugs, the best thing to do is to supplement with UBIQUINOL. A good place to start is with 100 - 200 mg per day. I have written much more on this subject. Just search the web to find more information if necessary. I hope this helps you.

Frequency Specific Microcurrent Offers New Hope For People With Chronic Pain and Fibromyalgia

Approximately 10 million Americans suffer from a condition known as fibromyalgia
syndrome. This condition is characterized by widespread muscle pain, extreme
fatigue and chronic non-restorative sleep disturbances for more than three months'
duration. Although pain and inflammation are among the symptoms, they are not
the cause of the disease. Therefore, treating the inflammation and pain of
fibromyalgia with anti-inflammatory drugs, pain medication or even natural
remedies is rarely effective.

There are four common traumas that can cause fibromyalgia. Most patients with
fibromyalgia have experienced one of the following events 4 to 12 months before
their symptoms appeared: (1) neck injuries or cervical spine trauma; (2) toxicity or
chemically induced trauma; (3) acute or prolonged severe emotional stress; and (4)
immune system trauma from unresolved viral or undiagnosed illness.

Although these traumatic events seem unrelated on the surface, each one can be
the precipitating cause of two systemic problems present in almost every
fibromylgia patient. The first effect is damage to the neuroendocrine system,
resulting in adrenal exhaustion and hormonal imbalance. The second effect is the
reduction of cellular energy in the mitochondria, which is the power-producing part
of the cell. Recovery from fibromyalgia requires that all causative factors and the
hormonal and cellular energy production problems be addressed and corrected.

Although this approach has been effective with all types of fibromyalgia, this article
will address the evaluation and treatment of fibromyalgia caused by cervical spine
trauma. Approximately 25 percent of patients with fibromyalgia report the onset of
pain following a cervical trauma. The most common injuries result from motor
vehicle accidents (whiplash), surgeries, trauma from falling down or injuries from
lifting or moving heavy objects.

The symptoms associated with cervical truma-induced fibromyalgia include: neck
pain; burning pain between the shoulder blades, shoulder, arm, hand, back, leg and
foot: headaches; fatigue; weakness; sleep disturbance; depression; and digestive
problems. Patients with this type of fibromyalgia complain of aching, burning,
sharp, shooting and/or stabbing pain.

A new treatment called frequency specific microcurrent (FSM) offers hope to patients
with fibromyalgia. A clinical trial of 160 patients with cervical trauma-induced
fibromyalgia treated from 1999 and 2003 was conducted using FSM. On a
subjective pain scale (1=no pain to 10=severe pain), these patients reported an
average pain reduction from 7.3 to 1.3 after their initial treatment with FSM.

The treatment involved the use of 200 to 600 microamperes of direct electrical
current to the spinal cord. Condition and tissue-specific frequencies are utilized to
effectively reduce the inflammation in the spinal cord and restore normal nerve
conduction. Most patients benefiting from this treatment were pain-free for the
first time in years. The initial pain relief lasted five to 48 hours and was the start of
recovery.

Follow-up FSM treatments were conducted twice a week and most patients required
daily use of a home FSM unit to control the pain. The average number of treatments
to remain pain-free was 10 treatments.

Recent studies have determined a biological mechanism for the result seen in
patients. FSM treatment affected the serum levels of several biochemical
constituents including IL-1, IL-6, TNF-a, Substance-P and LOX, which are
inflammation/pain-related biological chemicals. All were significantly reduced
when measured after the FSM treatment. There was also a dramatic increase in b-
endorphin, a naturally-occurring chemical which helps reduce pain, and a 500
percent increase in ATP, the body's fuel storage molecule used in cellular energy
production.

Dietary changes and nutritional supplements were combined with the FSM
treatments to address other contributing factors, such as the endocrine and cellular
energy weaknesses in all patients. Furthermore, depending on the individual needs
of the patient, the following imbalances were corrected before a lasting recovery
could be reached: neurotransmitter (serotonin and catecholamine) deficiencies,
digestive problems, liver, adrenal, and thyroid dysfunction, soft tissue and joint
problems, and unresolved mental/emotional issues.

Beyond alleviating the effects of fibromyalgia, FSM also has shown great promise in
the successful treatment of athletic injuries, chronic or acute joint pain/stiffness,
pain associated with gall stones and kidney stones, closed head injuries, shingles,
post herpetic neuralgia, infections, diabetic ulcers, wound healing, and other
conditions that are often unresponsive to conventional medical treatment.
