Comment: This may be one of the most important articles in quite some time. What is so significant about this is that CoQ10 is totally harmless and that it seems to be able to change the way that the cancer cells work.
Researchers from the University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine have presented dramatic findings at a national cancer meeting that show a link between a very potent antioxidant that occurs naturally in the body, and the ability to kill breast and prostate cancer cells. The antioxidant they have studied is Ubiquinone, more commonly referred to as Coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10, and delivery of the therapy could soon be as simple as applying an ointment to the tumor site.
CoQ10 is one of the most important antioxidants found in the body, and is used by cells not only to protect against free radical damage, but also to produce ATP, a compound that powers every cell in the human body. High levels of CoQ10 are especially essential in the high activity cells, such as heart muscle cells, brain cells, and immune system cells. As we age, CoQ10 levels drop off, and decreased levels of the antioxidant have been observed in cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases.
