Anti-Cancer Properties of CoQ10

Exciting new research is showing that CoQ10 is able to program cancer cells to self-destruct. This finding was one of several from recent studies conducted by researchers at the University of Miami (FL) using CoQ10 in supplementation. CoQ10 was found to change the genetic makeup of the cancer cell, which allowed the cancer cell to kill itself without harming normal cells. Essentially, CoQ10 set off a natural process of cell death of the cancer cells called apoptosis. The genetic makeup of normal cells was not affected.

I have observed this phenomenon clinically in many of my cancer patients. This is why I have always strongly recommended high doses of CoQ10 for all my cancer patients. Dr. Peter Langsjoen who is the head of the CoQ10 Society International has reported case studies of women who were sent home to die because of metastatic breast cancer to bone and liver which went into spontaneous remission just using CoQ10. Every cancer patient needs to be taking high doses of CoQ10 (500 to 600 mg of powder form or 180 to 200 mg of gel form) along with a complete and balanced antioxidant and mineral tablets.
