Eliminating Cancer With CoQ10

A medical adviser suggested a cancer patient should probably get a blood test of their CoQ10 blood level before starting any treatment with CoQ10.  This gives you a starting point.  This can be done through your primary care physician or oncologist, although both may be reluctant to do so.  Once you start your CoQ10 treatments, you can continue getting CoQ10 blood level tests about each 3 months, as were done in the women's breast cancer studies.  This would let you track the status.  You could get the blood test at the same time you get a 2 month scan to check the cancer status. 

Starting the treatment requires the selection of the type of CoQ10, with two types available, and the dosage.  The types are Ubiquinone and Ubiquinol.  The Ubiquinone type is the compound the women took in the studies we just reviewed, and they were originally the only type of CoQ10 available.  They are still available in multiple dosages and can be used at the original dosage levels. 

The Ubiquinol type is just becoming available in quantity and in multiple sized dosages.  They are reported to be 8 times as efficient at getting inside each cell.  This means you can take 1/8th as much Ubiquinol as Ubiquinone to get the same results.  There are reportedly multiple suppliers of each type, but only one has been found to date for the Ubiquinol type.  One other item in favor of the Ubiquinol, it is the form that your system uses directly.  The Ubiquimone must be converted by your system to the Ubiquinol form before it can be used.  Perhaps this is part of Ubiquinol's better efficiency. 

For the type of CoQ10, you might select the Ubiquinol if there are two sources. 

For the dosage, you would select the amount the women were taking in the third study, 390mg/day is equivalent to 400 mg/day (in the form of 2-200mg/day) for the Ubiquinone soft-gels and 400mg/8=50mg/day for the Ubiquinol soft-gels.  Possible CoQ10 suppliers will have to be defined latter...
