And CO-Q-10 is needed for every cell in the <br \/>body in its mitochondria, including the heart.<\/p>\n<p>A healthy heart needs more, not less, CO-Q-10, a <br \/>very good reason not to use statins, if possible.<\/p>\n<p>Serious fatigue and muscle pain can result from statin <br \/>use.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s the alternative to statins?<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a natural tool box of blood pressure lowering <br \/>approaches available. Steven Sinatra, M.D. and Gary <br \/>Null, Ph.D have strong credibility and very specific <br \/>advice in this area.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll combine my own successful hypertension lowering experiences, too, integrating them into Sinatra and <br \/>Null&#8217;s sage advice.<\/p>\n<p>As I gained weight 15 years ago, becoming an <br \/>unpleasingly plump 262 pounds, my blood pressure <br \/>soared to the 180 over 95.<\/p>\n<p>I rejected statin prescriptions, fired my <br \/>pill-pushing doctor, joined a Gold&#8217;s Gym, <br \/>and exercised down to under 200 lbs within two <br \/>years.<\/p>\n<p>My blood pressure returned to normal. So, I know <br \/>that in many cases, including mine, natural means <br \/>can defeat or lessen hypertension.<\/p>\n<p>The best tool in the tool box is Co-Q-10. If you have <br \/>high blood pressure, then a daily dosage of 300 mg <br \/>&#8211;equally divided and taken with meals&#8211;is a good dosage.<\/p>\n<p>If you have no hypertensive problems, a Co-Q-10 dosage <br \/>of 30 to 60 mg is OK.<\/p>\n<p>I take 300 mg daily, since I&#8217;ve had problems with <br \/>elevated blood pressure, and I want to keep this <br \/>under tight control. My blood pressure averages <br \/>128\/76.<\/p>\n<p>You must take Co-Q-10 for 12 full weeks before <br \/>attaining the desired benefit&#8211;then keep taking it.<\/p>\n<p>Doctor Sinatra also recommends D-Ribose along with <br \/>Co-Q-10. D-Ribose energizes your cells naturally&#8211;it&#8217;s <br \/>not a stimulant. A daily amount of three 2,000 <br \/>mg dosages is good, particularly before or after <br \/>exercise. I take this, too.<\/p>\n<p>Recent research has found that much larger doses of <br \/>Co-Q-10 (1,200 mg) can delay the progression of <br \/>Parkinson&#8217;s Disease by up to 44%.<\/p>\n<p>And the October 2005 edition of &#8220;LifeExtension,&#8221; <br \/>the magazine published by the Life Extension <br \/>Foundation, shows in a small study that Co-Q-10 <br \/>may also program cancer cells to self-destruct, <br \/>making Co-Q-10 an invaluable adjuvant therapy for <br \/>cancer patients.<\/p>\n<p>Other very useful anti-hypertension tools are Vitamin <br \/>C (3,000 to 6,000 mg daily), Omega 3 fish oils <br \/>(3,000 mg daily), L-Carnitine (1,000 mg daily), and <br \/>Hawthorne Berry extract (250 mg three times daily).<\/p>\n<p>If you have high LDL cholesterol, too, try these to <br \/>lower it naturally: policosanol (20 mg daily divided <br \/>in two doses), niacin (flush or non-flush, starting with <br \/>500 to 1,000 mg daily dosage), and nattokinase <br \/>(take as directed on the container you buy).<\/p>\n<p>Niacin reduces cholesterol production, which is made <br \/>in the liver. When you visit your doctor, he or she <br \/>should do a &#8220;liver panel&#8221; as part of your overall blood testing. In a few cases, niacin can cause abnormalities <br \/>in liver function.<\/p>\n<p>Nattokinase, fermented from soy beans, naturally helps to prevent blood thickening and clotting, allowing for the <br \/>possibility of lower blood pressure. This was discovered in Japan, and &#8220;natto,&#8221; as it&#8217;s called, is availabe in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>So, take action on this. If you take statins now, you <br \/>may be able to reduce the dosage or get off of them <br \/>completely by taking this advice and getting your doctor&#8217;s <br \/>cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>Your doctor can help wean you from these drugs in <br \/>an orderly way. If he or she refuses, work with a <br \/>doctor that will help you in this manner.<\/p>\n<p><small style=\"color:#666666;background-color: #ffffff;\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tJohn J.
