We have been a proponent of this for the last 21 years, even did a dose finding study in 1998 in our practice. We took 50 patients with Statin (Lipitor, Zocor, Pravachol) intolerance/muscle aches, and put them in groups of 10 each on 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500mg of CoQ10. The results: ~50% got relief with 100mg, ~75% with 200mg and ~95% with 300mg. But of the remaining 5%, no... one benefitted from the 400 or 500mg dose, so we routinely recommend 300mg a day. Have for 20 years. Interesting it is only now being seen in the mainstream medical journals. CoQ10 is necessary for the production of ATP, the powerhouse of all the cells in the body. Intersestingly, the Big Pharma KNEW the statins depleted the body of CoQ10 before they even began marketing them! The makers of the first statin, Lovastatin (Mevacor) tried to market it with CoQ10 actually incorporated into its formulation, but were thwarted by the FDA because their trials did not include this additive, so they pulled it back and went with only the Lovastatin. I actually had one patient with documented Rhabdomyolysis, with CPK’s over 100,000, who after getting off dialysis and a re-do bypass (I had not seen him in over 5 years and his HMO cardiologist had not been monitoring his CPK’s, but his family recognized me and begged me to take over his care one day when I was walking through the ICU), I told him I was going to put him BACK on Pravachol, but ALSO CoQ10 and monitor his CPK’s very frequently. Over the next 10 years that he lived, before dying of pancreatic cancer, his CPK never went above 350, less than 3 times the upper limit of normal, which was acceptable.

Super Bowl Sunday sermon! At Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Dana Point, CA.

They are raising money to build a new state of the art medical center. Talking about charging every tourist who visits the island a $1.00 fee on entry and exit to spare the residents of the island the expense of building it or increased taxes. Brilliant move if you ask me! Anyone who wants to donate I’m sure it would be greatly appreciated!

Seeing patients on the island today, beautiful day today! But not as beautiful as it used to be...
