Featured Article Health WarningsCan This Supplement Cure Cancer?

by Dr. Al Sears 08/21/2009

CoQ10 is the one supplement I take every day, without fail.

breast cancer New evidence of an even greater benefit is pouring in. And over the next couple of weeks, I’ll tell you about some of the amazing discoveries happening in CoQ10 research.

CoQ10 is a powerful cancer fighter.

Researchers in Tokyo gave rats a carcinogen that promotes colon cancer. The rats were divided into three groups. One group was fed a regular diet. The second group got a low dose of CoQ10. The third got a medium dose.

The results were amazing.

Both of the groups that received CoQ10 had reductions in abnormal crypts (an early sign of colon cancer) of up to 77%. Ultimately, the results of this study suggested that CoQ10 held cancer in check even when exposed to this carcinogen.1

Another study done at the University of Texas at Austin documented 10 cases of cancer patients who unexpectedly survived when treated with CoQ10.2

It works by blocking the free radicals that can ultimately damage the DNA in your cells. It also helps re-energize the immune system cells that get suppressed by cancer. It restores their ability to fight back and attack the cancer cells.

Researchers in Denmark studied a group of breast cancer patients. They gave them CoQ10 plus a combination of other antioxidants and essential fatty acids. The result?

The entire group had a partial remission of the cancer. But here’s where things get very interesting…

Two of the patients received larger doses of CoQ10 (390 mg). Their tumors disappeared. Here’s what the researchers said regarding one of the patients:

“After three months, the patient was in excellent clinical condition and there was no residual tumor tissue.”3

Remarkable isn’t it?

Yet CoQ10 is one of the most overlooked nutrients. The government doesn’t even have a recommended daily intake for it. And in my practice, I’ve found that most of my new patients are deficient.

The only natural source of CoQ10 is red meat, especially organ meat. But today’s commercially-raised, grain-fed beef is a poor source.

Even worse, many popular drugs — especially cholesterol-lowering drugs like statins — cause your levels of CoQ10 to plunge. 

I recommend getting 50 mg of the new form of CoQ10 daily. It’s called ubiquinol CoQ10. That’s equivalent to 400 mg of regular CoQ10.

To Your Good Health,

Al Sears, M.D.

    Thanks Dr. Al Sears,

    Thanks so much for the great article. I take Co Q10, and it does the job as far as increasing energy. Now, after reading your article about it having helped cancer victims, I am going to recommend it to my friend who was told that she has colon cancer.

    Make sure CoQ10 is processed in a way that your body can absorb most/or all of it (difference between good/poor quality product).

    My aunt has a tumor behind her nose near the right eye.
    Some methathasis in lung and bone.

    She is 79 yrs old of age but my very loved aunt.

    She does not want to take any traditional treatment like Chemo or Radiotherapy. I am wondering how CoQ10 can help her.

    She is taking some Vit C and Reishi Oil which Dr Fukumi Morishige has discovered and has help patients survive from Cancer. (We are guessing the dosage as I could not find any way to contact Dr Morishigue or his students)

    How can COQ10 intake for cancer cure?
    How much to take for her case.

    Eagerly awaiting for your reply.
