Yes there is new research that has still not made it to some areas of the country. HOWEVER my Grandfather was put on CoQ10 by his cardiologist and he has always exercised and watched his diet and he still had a MI at 72 and got a bypass. However he is still on statins, fish oil etc. Cause again read above a DR/Provider will lose serious money for NOT treating someone with CVD appropriately which includes statins, Beta blockers, ASA etc.
You again are making diagnosis from your laptop, reading conspiracy theory news on the internet. You do not work in a hospital, family practice, surgery center, you do not work in the medical field. You do not have a state license or spent over a decade in school learning about the human body. The medical field is always learning and technology is always improving that is why research still continues.
We get it, you are a believer, you have drank the Kool Aid, everything is about diet and exercise. The medical community is in bed with the pharmacy companies to just pump out the most drugs and make the most money possible at the expense of the populace. If only everyone in America ate grass fed beef, milk straight from the cow and free range chicken eggs we would eradicate heart disease and obesity.
But in reality you come off as some rich kid snob who has his head in the clouds and no real clue how the real world works. You are like some religious nut that nobody can stand to be around cause all they talk about is religion. Your message gets lost in your fever of bullshit that you are not effective in any way other than people talking about you.
Now where did you get this information? “I mean WTF, and even worse even when docs do prescribe them vast majority of the time, there’s no mention of the need to supplement with CoQ10, absurd.” HOW do you know that this is not being suggested? How do you know that maybe people are NOT buying it cause they cant afford to buy it. You again make assumptions to try to prove a point.[/quote]
Excellent post, Derek.[/quote]
and perhaps Derek should spend a week in my shoes. Deal with the people who I deal with. The people that want to change, want to be healthy but are being misinformed in just about every direction.
do you know how long it has taken me to bring many of them around to the idea that egg yolks and red meat are not bad for us?
That having 3-4 whole eggs for breakfast when you’re a T2 diabetic will most likely be a better choice than their RD prescribed (I shit you not) bowl of cheerios with skim milk and a banana.
Or the people that stopped using butter, lard or coconut oil and chose to go with margarine, or vegetable oils.
Shit, I had one lady who grew up on a farm, loved liver but gave it up long ago because of all the gasp cholesterol. She’s T2 diabetic, gee could it be because she fears what was good for her all along and has since adopted a horrible diet.
Or those that ARE on statins and have no fucking clue with CoQ10 is, because their doctor never talked to them about it.
I will give it to you that my Mom’s doctor did have her on CoQ10 years ago, thankfully.
Look, I get it. Plenty of people don’t care in this country and drink/eat themselves to death and don’t exercise. But, there are plenty of people who adopted what they thought or were told were healthy eating habits. And don’t think for a moment that the gov’t recommending we eat low fat didn’t have some unintended consequences to how people ate as a nation.
