I have never been able to have a meaningful conversation with a doctor about things like COQ10, vitamin E, vitamin B6,etc. I feel that if I were to wait for my husband's doctors to recommend anything natural, he would be being deprived of considerable help. This is well established medical fact but unfortunately still many doctors do not spend significant time on prevention. I have frequently read about the usefulness of a homocysteine level test at predicting the liklihood of a heart attack and, if the test is positive, the value of supplementing with vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid. I hope you find this information useful.
