Health Alert 242
Dear Subscriber:
A woman with high blood pressure came to see me. She was taking two blood pressure medications and a statin drug. She complained of constant fatigue and was also having trouble with her memory.
When we tested her blood for a certain nutrient, we discovered it was lower than 95% of the population. After taking 200 mg of the nutrient in a daily supplement for a couple of months, she was able to stop both blood pressure medications and continues to maintain a normal blood pressure. She also reports feeling “energized.” And she recovered her memory.
Do you currently take blood pressure pills, statin drugs, or other heart medications? Today you’ll learn about the miracle heart energizer that may help you leave those drugs behind once and for all.
The powerful nutrient I’m talking about is Coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10. You can’t live without CoQ10 because all of your major organs need it to function normally. Here are a few ways it works:
- Protects and strengthens the heart, protects the brain, and revitalizes the immune system. More than 100 studies at major universities and hospitals link CoQ10 deficiency with heart disease. In a landmark study, researchers measured the levels of CoQ10 in heart tissue biopsies. And they found low levels of CoQ10 in 50 to 75 percent of patients with various types of heart disease. Additional studies show taking CoQ10 revitalizes heart function and can dramatically relieve heart disease symptoms.
- Helps the body neutralize free radicals in cells. Free radical damage contributes to a range of diseases and medical problems, including heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, and other age-related problems. CoQ10 appears to protect the cells by cleaning up these free radicals before they can cause damage.
- Prevents migraines. A Swiss study on migraine patients reveals that CoQ10 cuts migraine frequency and duration in half.
CoQ10 routinely performs heart-healing miracles. The list goes on and on. But you won’t hear about them from a conventional doctor.
Cholesterol-lowering statin drugs slash the levels of CoQ10 in the body. In fact, studies found that statin drugs lower CoQ10 levels by as much as 40 percent.
Drug companies know about this dangerous side effect. Yet they have done nothing to educate physicians and patients about it. Unfortunately, most doctors don’t know enough about the link between statin drugs and CoQ10 to recommend supplements to their patients. Some misinformed doctors even discourage the use of CoQ10 and other nutritional supplements altogether.
Whether or not you’re currently taking blood pressure or heart meds, have your CoQ10 tested. Replenishing your body’s stores of this vital nutrient may be all you ever need to prevent or reverse heart disease. You’ll also experience many other far-reaching benefits. If you’d like to know more about the healing miracles of CoQ10, refer to my book, The Doctor’s Heart Cure.
