Well, everyone's different. Taking high dose CoQ10 with statins is important. For a study of n=1, in the three+ years I've been on it, it's had no impact on my cerebral function. I work in a highly challenging environment and have to make scores to hundreds of critical decisions a day. So far, so good. (Of course, it might be because of my music sideline, or working out a lot.... or genes? who knows.....) Thanks again for the kind greeting Martin.
There's something clearly amiss about our cohort - the way we're categorized by the cardiology community. I think they project risk in some sort of linear fashion from the levels clearly associated with those risks, ie, the low/mid hundreds. You'd think that if this were the case, we'd all be cardiac cripples with our high levels. But clearly, many of us are not. So, I suspect that very high CC scores could represent, in some cohort, a different pathophysiology than plain old calcifying intimal atheroma. This begs the question, what are we in store for, if not an early cardiac demise? I can't believe it's benign to have our vessels turn to stone, but how does that play out clinically? I don't know.
