I thought it was something to do that it lowered coQ10 or carnitine levels or

something.

Dear Janet,

Yes, studies ave shown that the statins inhibit CoQ10. Before I had even

heard of mito, I had a bad reaction to Pravachol.

My husband takes statins, and I had noticed that he seemed to be

" dragging his tail " somewhat. Now I have him taking 200 mgs/day of

Tishcon's CoQ10.

We'll see if it helps.

One of my doctors (not a mito doc) has a father with Parkinson's

disease, and he has been told to take 1,000 mgs/day, but he was

wondering if it was worth it because of the high cost. I told her about

Tishcon.

I believe that Tishcon will only be able to raise the millons of dollars

necessary for clnical trials when the drug shows promise for heart

disease and for neuro problems like Parkinson's, et al.

Good luck.

Funny you mention Parkinson's. My mother in law, the one that fell and

broke her hip, was diagnosed with it two years ago. My sister in law

basically over sees her care. She is a retired RN and also worked at

research at the Unviersity of Michigan. She is open to research ideas but

when I told her about the Qgel and Parkinsons she said that the specialist

clinic for Parkinson's in Milwaukee she took her mother to the doctor said

that nothing has been proven that CoQ10 helps the Parkinson's.

So, I would be interested in how the Qgel helps the father of the doctor you

mention.
