Saved From Death

When I was in my 20s, I first learned about herbs and vitamins through Prevention magazine. Being young at the time, I did not take the information seriously during that period because I had plenty of energy and good health. The mid 30s ushered in a whole new ballgame, though. I suffered one of the classic signs of a heart attack at work when I was 35. My chest felt like it was being crushed. I did not seek medical attention at the time, but I made immediate changes in my eating habits by reducing fat-laden fast food. I also began an earnest search for how supplements could help.

The most helpful supplement that I found in the next few years was Coenzyme Q10. This supplement increases heart energy and thereby reduces heart stress. It is also beneficial for gums, mucous membranes, and ulcers. Taking 120 mg of COQ10 in my 30s stopped the angina chest pain. I have now taken it around 25 years, and I believe it has helped my gums and stomach also. I am taking no prescription medications of any kind now at 61 years of age. I believe that taking supplements is the best way to stay out of the doctor's office.

An excellent book that talks about Coenzyme Q10 is called Miracle Cures by Jean Carper. In her book, Jean tells about an elderly woman who was almost dead. She was taking a small amount of COQ10 at the time--30 mg--and her son accidentally bought her a more powerful form of the substance. When she started taking 300 mg of COQ10 daily, she was miraculously saved from death. So, the amount of COQ10 matters just as much as a quality form of the supplement. Numerous cases prove COQ10 can be a life-saver as well as improving a person's quality of life.
