Have you ever heard of Dr. William Kaufman? He was a pioneer in nutritional therapy. He was the first to use high doses of vitamin B3 to treat arthritis sufferers.
He passed away in the year 2000 and is remembered as one of the finest doctors of the 20th century.
In his remarkable book, The Common Form of Joint Dysfunction, published over 60 years ago, Dr. Kaufman wrote something that I’ve always remembered since I first read it: The lack of only a single nutrient can cause diverse problems in the human body.
Today, thanks to pioneers like Dr. Kaufman, you know to get enough nutrients like the B vitamins, and others like vitamins A, C and D. But many people are still suffering from the lack of one single nutrient: Coenzyme Q10.
It’s impossible to live without CoQ10. It’s called ubiquinone because it’s ubiquitous – it powers every single cell in your body. In fact, it’s so important that revealing how CoQ10 works won Peter Mitchell the Nobel Prize in 1978.
Real pioneers in the field recommend taking CoQ10. For example:
- One of the first doctors to become famous for his theories on eating right to stay healthy says he recommends CoQ10 to anyone concerned about heart health. In fact, he takes 120 mg daily himself. He says CoQ10 helps protect LDL (“bad”) cholesterol from oxidation, and supports the body in the maintenance of healthy blood vessels and optimal functioning of the heart muscle. He also believes it maintains the health of gums.
- Another doctor went a step further with regard to CoQ10 and statin users. He filed two citizens’ petitions with the Food and Drug Administration. The petitions call on the FDA to change the labeling of all statin drugs (HMG CoA reductase inhibitors), and to issue a Medication Guide, warning consumers of their need for CoQ10 if they are taking statins.
- Another of the country’s foremost researchers on CoQ10 wrote in his 2008 study of CoQ10 and heart function that supplemental CoQ10 alters the natural history of cardiovascular [health]. It [supports] the maintenance of optimal cellular and mitochondrial function throughout the ravages of time and internal and external stresses.
- The author of a bestselling book on CoQ10 said he believes it would be unthinkable to practice good cardiology without the help of CoQ10.
- The famous medical consultant, lecturer and editor-in-chief of Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine suggests supplementing with CoQ10 to spark your metabolism and aid in energy production and fat loss.
- Another complementary care physician who’s well known through the Internet and talk shows calls CoQ10 the “single most critical nutrient to energize every cell in your body.” He also writes, “Premature aging is one primary side effect of having too little CoQ10 because this essential vitamin recycles other antioxidants, such as vitamin C and E. CoQ10 deficiency also accelerates DNA damage, and (because) CoQ10 is beneficial to heart health and muscle function.”
Even one supposed expert of TV fame has come around to CoQ10. He’s in no way any kind of pioneer but even he recommends it. “I believe that it does help your heart and that it may also help … your brain.”
But even though the real pioneers of the field recommend CoQ10, there’s something else that most people are still missing out on. And that is that CoQ10 is not an easy nutrient to absorb. If you take the wrong form, you’re just passing a lot of very expensive CoQ10 on in your stool.
I like that you are able to get it from your food but CoQ10 is a problem because it concentrates in the organ meat. It concentrates in your brain, kidneys, heart and lungs, and does the same thing in animals. Which means you’ll have to eat their organ meat the way we used to do before modern times to get your CoQ10.
It’s probably the strongest rationale for taking supplements than any I know of. Otherwise, what are you going to do? Move back into the woods, shoot wild animals and eat their organs raw?
That’s why I recommend a CoQ10 supplement to nearly all my patients.
They take the new ubiquinol CoQ10 in my formula called Accel. Ubiquinol is a “reduced” form of CoQ10 that your bloodstream can absorb much more easily.
Before Accel, your body had to convert the weaker form ubiquinone into the usable form ubiquinol.
But in Accel, the CoQ10 is already converted into the ubiquinol your body can use. That sends your blood levels of CoQ10 soaring. And it’s higher blood levels that make a difference.
If you’re taking the old form of CoQ10, you may not be getting the support every cell in your body needs. Hundreds of my patients already take Accel and get more out of their lives because of it.
I want you to feel for yourself what all the doctors are saying about CoQ10.
