<<There are also aspects of CoQ10 which are not conducive to it being
included in standard medical practice:>>
Colin, I think a big part of the problem, which was addressed in the consumer
magazine article I also posted, is that there’s no big pharmaceutical company
promoting CoQ10. Also, at least in the US, physicians tend to practice herd
medicine and rigidly adhere to community standards of care.
Even though you relate one incident in which someone complained of a
CoQ10-triggered headache, the research indicates that it is very safe. (It’s
somewhere in those 2,000+ references). CoQ10 has an essential role in
stimulating ATP production in the mitochondria.
My impression is that the pharmaceutical companies are far more aggressive in
promoting drugs over natural substances in the US. In Japan and much of
Europe, I’m told, CoQ10 is far more acceptable.
I generally run into two types of docs. Those who don’t want to do anything
that’s not "acceptable" and those who want to do everything they can to help
a patient. But with CoQ10, there’s one other thing. It competes against much
more profitable drugs and even more profitable surgeries.
