I am not sure which product I should take! I have congestive heart failure, my infraction rate is 30%. I have not had a heart attack. My blood work is good. Low cholestral, kidney function good, all the precursor for heart disease isn't showing up on test, EKG was good. I do have high blood pressures. What should I take for my condition. I have been reading on the subject for a while and would like to try this out. What should I use each day . I do take C-emergence . I do not like taking the drugs the doctors have put me on. They were trying to put me on a cholestrol pill and i don'thave high cholestrol. Go figure!
As I was posting your correspondence, I see that the main problem is congestive heart failure - which European and Japanese doctors consider a Coenzyme Q10 deficiency disease. I would start with up to 400-600 mg of CoQ10, eat with fats/meals - perhaps 200 mg 3 times daily. Expensive, but after your CHF descreases, you might be able to get by daily with a 200-300 mg dosage. CoQ10 becomes vital at your age, and I wrote an article once about CoQ10 (those drugs they want you to take alarmingly deplete CoQ10!) See: http://internetwks.com/owen/coq10.htm
My original response:
The answer is vitamin C - at least 10,000 mg daily. I would start with a 500 mg ascorbic acid (vitamin C) tablet every 3-4 hours.
If you can tolerate this amount (no gas/diarrhea), after a few days, then increase to 1 gram (1000 mg) every 4 hours.
Pauling's invention was to add lysine, and you can add a 500 mg lysine tablet every time you take a vitamin C, up to 12 tablets (6000 mg) daily.
The right, high Pauling-therapy equivalent dosage of vitamin C is key, but there are other important nutrients recommended by Linus Pauling, and others, as summarized in chapter 7 of my book
See: http://www.practicingmedicinewithoutali ... /protocol/
There are also several fine products which incorporate many of these recommendations - as a drink mix without pills or fillers. If you want to learn more, email me. The basic descriptions can be found:

The choice involves cost, the supplements you are already taking, etc.
In summary, take vitamin C regularly to tolerance and supplement CoQ10, then follow other recommendations.
