Clinical Uses of Coenzyme Q10 as a Supplement

by Dr.Vishaal Bhat

Extract:

Aimed at improving cellular bioenergetics, counteracting oxidative stress and slowing down some age-related pathologies

Cardiovascular disease & CoQ10

(1) Cardiac surgery – past clinical trials suggested improved postop cardiac function and reduced structural damage, recent RCT failed to demonstrate a difference in clinical outcomes

(2) CPR - CoQ10 with mild hypothermia after cardiac arrest/CPR – recent RCT demonstrated higher 3-month survival rate (68% vs 29%) and higher rate of good neurological outcome (36% vs 20%)

(3) CHF – recent RCT of patients with end-stage heart failure awaiting transplant, 60mg CoQ10 QD for 3 mos in addition to conventional therapy, showed improvement in dyspnea, NYHA class, nocturia, fatigue, and improved 6-min walk test (CoQ10 269 to 382m vs placebo 254 to 177m)…

- Coenzyme Q10 is present throughout the human body. It aids metabolic reactions, such as the transformation of food into ATP, the energy used by the body. Cell mitochondria (the part of cells where energy is produced) show the greatest concentration of coenzyme Q10 in the body. Similarly, organs that contain higher … More information at Coenzyme Q10: CoQ10 BioEnergetic Synopsis.

Preventive Medicine: Vitamin D = Sunshine

17. May 2008 by HealingMindN.

According to new research from scientists in Toronto, women with vitamin D deficiency had nearly double the risk of cancer spreading and were 73 percent more likely to die within 10 years. These findings, announced by the American Society of Clinical Oncology, add to a growing body of evidence that vitamin D may play a role in preventing and perhaps limiting breast and other cancers. Researchers have also found evidence that vitamin D may help prevent or treat numerous other diseases, such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, muscle pain, depression, heart disease and stroke.

Actually, if you’ve been keeping up with Dr. Joseph Mercola’s site, then you would see that this is old information. Mainstream media likes to reinvent the wheel just have something to write about, but if you really want to stay up to date on the best health advice, I would have to recommend Dr. Mercola’s site.

Trouble Maker: GMO seeds cannot be removed

10. May 2008 by HealingMindN.

Scientists in Sweden found genetically engineered canola plants springing up in a test field 10 years after engineered seeds were originally planted—despite efforts over time to clear the field of transgenic plants. The canola plants were engineered to tolerate the herbicide glufosinate. In the years following the canola planting, the field was plowed and used to grow wheat, barley, and sugar beets, and farm staff routinely searched for and removed canola plants. Yet after a decade canola plants were still sprouting in the field. The persistence and dispersal of genetically engineered plants into the environment is one of the serious problems with this technology, and may contribute to contamination of conventional crops.

Kirlian Photography captures bioenergetic information

4. May 2008 by HealingMindN.

Extract from Col. Tom Bearden’s “Bioenergy Collectors:”

Spark discharges, such as are used in Kirlian photography, are extremely good collectors of bioenergy. In Kirlian photography the film records ordinary photon interactions; however, the spark discharge from the finger is collecting and kindling bioenergy (in the form of mitogenic radiation) into ordinary electrical energy (specifically, into electromagnetic field, which then affects the electrical flux pattern).

Also, bioenergy is being collected and kindled into ordinary photons, thus changing the photon pattern being emitted. Furthermore, those photons being emitted are internally affected by the bioenergy that has not yet kindled to observable state electromagnetic energy, but is still virtual.

Each photon carries the virtual state along in the little piece of time contained in the photon, and partially collected bioenergy which has not yet breached the threshold of observable photons is being carried in each emitted photon (also implies quantum entanglement between virtual and observable state photons which is actually controlled by thought patterns).

These patterns are transferred to the grain atoms by photon absorption when the piece of time of the photon is momentarily added to the mass of the absorbing atom, and in turn are continually spread through the emulsion material atoms by the virtual photon fluxes of the charges, in both the nucleus and the orbital electrons of the atoms.

So the life pattern of a photographed object is captured on ordinary film - and indeed that pattern can be resonated through hyperspace with the object that was photographed, regardless of where the object is in the universe (in the sense that a radionic resonance utilises full-spectrum photon emission patterns as a duplicate life pattern or “witness.” This can also be accomplished with a digital camera converted for full spectrum photography as (UV-IR) observable state photons from the living aura interact with high energy photons from the sun.)

Note that there are many mechanisms inside stars and planets for the collection of bioenergy. We live in a vital, pulsing, living, breathing, bioenergetic cosmos, and life is everywhere… (continues)

Kirlian Imaging Device

Explore the world of Kirlian Photography! The most sought after features of Kirlian Photo Labs are combined into one compact instrument. Simple to operate yet flexible enough to be used by serious students, photographers, and researchers, this system creates stunning Kirlian images. All control and photography functions are featured on the top panel - the main power switch, momentary contact discharge switch, hi-low frequency range switch, adjustable frequency control, and discharge plate. This device is designed to work with all 4″ x 5″ color and black & white sheet film and paper, including Polaroid instant films. The device also allows anyone to shoot Kirlian photographs using standard hand held digital and film cameras, when used in conjunction with an optional transparent discharge plate. The back panel has a 1/4 jack for optional footswitch.
