CANCER

Certain cancer patients may benefit from CoQ10 supplementation, since animal studies have indicated that CoQ10 protects heart tissue from Adriamycin (doxorubicin hydrochloride), a cancer chemotherapy drug that is highly toxic to the heart. Several researchers have reported similar effects in humans. Yet this nutrient is rarely recommended to patients undergoing treatment with this common medication.

CoQ10 may also have anticancer properties of its own. In 1993, one of the researchers who used CoQ10with Adriamycin reported that ten patients survived for five to fifteen years with high-dose CoQ10 therapy. In 1994, a Danish researcher reported on thirty-two breast cancer patients who were treated with high-dose CoQ10 therapy. These patients had been treated with conventional therapy, but were at high risk for recurrence. After twenty-four months on CoQ10 supplements, all were still alive, when at least six deaths would have been expected. Six of the women showed a partial remission of the tumor. In two women, the tumors had disappeared entirely. Patients in these studies were given 300 mg or more of CoQ10 per day.
