UMDF Conference: Linnane, PhD

[Guest guest]

Dear Listmates,

The speaker at the dinner was the above scientist from Australia. He is

a biohemist who spent the first 25 years of his professional life

mapping the genome of yeast,and studying its mitochondria. With his dry

Australian wit he said how others used to wonder why in the world he

would spend almost a lifetime on yeast!

Well, he said that we humans and yeast share much in common, especially

in how our mitochondria function.

As far as he is concerned, he said there are two compounds to use in

mitochondrial disease: CoQ10 and magnesium orotate. I find that

interesting, since I am now chronically deficient in magnesium, even

with supplementation. Now I will look for magnesium with orotate.

Hope this helps.

Have you had testing done to see if your kidneys are spilling the magnesium.

Mine do and I have to take 2000 mg per day to get to the bottom of the

normal range.
