New evidence of an even greater benefit is pouring in. And over the next couple of weeks, I’ll tell you about some of the amazing discoveries happening in CoQ10 research.
CoQ10 is a powerful cancer fighter. Researchers in Tokyo gave rats a carcinogen that promotes colon cancer. The rats were divided into three groups. One group was fed a regular diet. The second group got a low dose of CoQ10. The third got a medium dose. The results were amazing. Both of the groups that received CoQ10 had reductions in abnormal crypts (an early sign of colon cancer) of up to 77%. Ultimately, the results of this study suggested that CoQ10 held cancer in check even when exposed to this carcinogen.1 Another study done at the University of Texas at Austin documented 10 cases of cancer patients who unexpectedly survived when treated with CoQ10.2 It works by blocking the free radicals that can ultimately damage the DNA in your cells. It also helps re-energize the immune system cells that get suppressed by cancer. It restores their ability to fight back and attack the cancer cells. Researchers in Denmark studied a group of breast cancer patients. They gave them CoQ10 plus a combination of other antioxidants and essential fatty acids. The result? The entire group had a partial remission of the cancer. But here’s where things get very interesting… Two of the patients received larger doses of CoQ10 (390 mg). Their tumors disappeared. Here’s what the researchers said regarding one of the patients: “After three months, the patient was in excellent clinical condition and there was no residual tumor tissue.”3 Remarkable isn’t it? Yet CoQ10 is one of the most overlooked nutrients. The government doesn’t even have a recommended daily intake for it. And in my practice, I’ve found that most of my new patients are deficient. The only natural source of CoQ10 is red meat, especially organ meat. But today’s commercially-raised, grain-fed beef is a poor source. Even worse, many popular drugs — especially cholesterol-lowering drugs like statins — cause your levels of CoQ10 to plunge. I recommend getting 50 mg of the new form of CoQ10 daily. It’s called ubiquinol CoQ10. That’s equivalent to 400 mg of regular CoQ10. To Your Good Health, Al Sears, M.D. References - Sakano K, et al. Asian Pac J Cancer Prev. 2006 Oct; 7 (4): 599-603.

When they show me the bottle, I immediately know why. As it happens, most of the CoQ10 they are taking never makes it to their cells where it can do the most good. In fact, most people over 50 have a hard time converting CoQ10 into its usable form. The lion’s share of the valuable CoQ10 enzyme disappears – making it impossible to give your cells the protection and nourishment they need. Fortunately, I’ve found a simple way to solve this problem forever … Get the most powerful, most effective form of CoQ10 on the planet – NOW! | | Healthy Living: | | | Invisible Braces: Not Just for Teenagers Anymore! | | | By Joseph R. Simaie, DDS | Top | Getting your teeth straightened isn’t something just for teenagers anymore. Many adults just like  you who have felt uncomfortable with their smiles, now have straight, healthy teeth. You may have worn braces when you were younger, but because you stopped wearing your retainer at some point, your teeth have relapsed overtime. So now they are a little crooked — this is a very common problem in adults. Or, if you weren’t able to get your teeth straightened when you were younger, now is the time to find out more about the Invisible alternative to metal braces and wires. With Invisible braces, treatment is quick and easy, and you don’t wear metal braces. Instead, your teeth are straightened by wearing a series of clear plastic trays or aligners. The aligners are so inconspicuous that most people won’t even be able to tell you’re wearing them. You’ll wear each set of clear aligners for about two weeks at a time while your teeth move little by little toward the smile you’ve always wanted. The aligners are worn all the time, except when you’re eating, drinking anything but water, brushing, and flossing. Because the aligners are removable, you can eat all your favorite foods, and your oral home care is much easier. Invisible braces are comfortable to wear, and don’t require you to change your busy lifestyle. You visit your dentist’s office every month or two to check on your progress and get a new set of aligners. I can’t tell you exactly how long your treatment will take. But, on average, treatment takes about one year. In most cases, the cost of treatment is similar in cost to traditional braces. You need to visit a dentist or an orthodontist who is certified in Invisible braces to get an evaluation and see if you qualify for this treatment. So go ahead, and reach for that healthy and beautiful smile. [Ed. Note: Dr. Joseph R. Simaie is an Implant, Cosmetic, and Restorative dentist in Beverly Hills, CA.
