The presence of cancer correlates strongly with a reduced amount of CoQ 10 . Complementary practitioners have long known this, and animal studies reinforce the link. The inverse of this relationship is becoming quite apparent, too, and I'm now convinced that CoQ10 should be a permanent fixture in cancer therapy. If the research conclusions are true for all people, we may have found something that can stop certain malignancies dead in their tracks. After several months the cancer went into remission for four women.
Dosage is apparently the key here.
In an earlier trial, the Danish researchers gave 90 mg per day to a different group of breast cancer patients. That amount didn't reverse the malignant onslaught, although it probably helped to prolong the women's lives.14 Like most other complementary cancer therapies, CoQ10 seems to work by revitalizing the immune system, not by directly attacking a tumor. If that's true, we're all the more disadvantaged because of some convoluted regulations imposed on cancer investigators by the National Cancer Institute. If a substance opposes cancer in any other way, it doesn't qualify. This stipulation encourages scientists to work only with radiation therapy and chemotherapeutic drugs, both often futile and lethal treatments.
