Re: Boosting Your Immune System - share your ideas
I take UBQH (activated CoQ10) for my heart and brain, though my naturopathic said to take a break during brain rads.
Evidently even chemo will cause heart damage and not just the targeted therapies. I've heard of much high dosages being called for but I take it morning and night.
Recently I heard the story of a grandmother whose heart let out while on a walk with her grandchildren. She had breast csncer treatment many years ago but they attributed the cause to heart damage from chemo years before. Obviously this is an extreme case but since the "standard of care" is to do nothing, it is hard to see the benefit of doing nothing
Maybe we should add CoQ10 as a standard therapy after Herceptin and chemo to our list on the working thread, for our patient manifesto.
