Great article. I am a firm believer in Q10. When I was dx. in 2001 I was on 50 mg a day and am sure this is why I only had one lymph node positive. (Of course in hindsight I should have been on 300 mg/day but I didnt know about its anti cance effects then) . Anyway at my health food shop I asked if I should take it; having just been dx with BC and was told "yes it has anticancer effect and that one woman who had been told she had 2 months to live came in bought up lots and came back 12 months later and said she was cured."
I keep trying to get my dose up to 300mg/day but find too much gives me insomnia.
In lieu of the difficulty of obtaining her2 serum testing here in Australia I am going to test Q10 myself against Ca 27/29 or Ca 15 ..I can get Q10 levels blood tested in melb. and see what happens when I up the amount of Q10.

regards
