Ubiquitous Coenzyme Q10
May 9, 2024by Jurgen
Coenzyme Q10, also known as Ubiquinone, is a vitamin like substance which plays a vital role in the body’s energy supply mechanism, acting in conjunction with enzymes to convert sugars and fat into energy, hence the name co-enzyme Q10 or short CoQ10.
Coenzyme Q10 is present in every cell of the body. CoQ10 is ubiquitous in the mitochondria of every cell, but becomes depleted with age, illness, intense physical exercise and modern lifestyle. Therefore a coenzyme Q10 supplement is strongly recommended for diabetics, people with heart and circulation problems, and people suffering from low energy levels.
Nuts are a rich source of CoQ10
The human body is able to synthesize a limited amount of coenzyme Q10 in the liver, with the remainder being obtained from the diet. Rich sources of coenzyme Q10 include oily fish and nuts.
Latest research shows that coenzyme Q10, already recognised as a therapy for heart disease and improved energy levels, can also help improve blood pressure and glycemic control in Type 2 diabetes.
Coenzyme Q10 also has been shown to be very effective for people with Parkinson’s disease and particularly for patients who take cholesterol lowering statin drugs, which are known to deplete CoQ10 in your body.
Excess protein foods and cancer
March 27, 2024by Jurgen
We are experiencing a large increase in people diagnosed with malignant carcinomas or cancer. At the same time high-protein diets and high-protein foods and bars are on big demand. Cheese makers used to discard whey, which is now sold at a premium price in protein supplements.
High protein diets and an acidic state
Let’s look at a famous publication (over 5 million copies sold) by a Swiss guy:
“As a nutritionist I discovered among primitive peoples the real cause of the ever increasing cases of diseases of civilisation despite the astronomical amounts of money being spent on health and medical care.
It is excess protein in the diet. Most of us eat two or three times more protein than is needed, in the form of meat, eggs, cheese and fish. Of course, protein is necessary in our diet, but too much of it triggers protein-storage diseases.
Protein foods produce excess acid, and the constant state of hyper-acidity in the body is one of the causes of cancer because protein is used in cell formation and also promotes cell proliferation, as in tumours […]
I found that these diseases are virtually unknown among people who still live close to nature.”
~ Alfred Vogel, 1952
Cancer cells and oxygen
“All normal cells have an absolute requirement for oxygen, but cancer cells can live without oxygen – a rule without exception. Deprive a cell 35% of its oxygen for 48 hours and it may become cancerous.”
~ Dr. Otto H Warburg, Nobel Prize in Physiology, 1931
Warburg believed the root cause of cancer is oxygen deficiency, which creates an acidic state in the human body. He also discovered that cancer cells are anaerobic, i.e. they do not breathe oxygen, and cannot survive in the presence of high levels of oxygen, as found in an alkaline state.
