Hi Owen,
i came across your website a few days ago and it gave me hope for my mom
who is a severe heart failure patient.The doctors say she doesn't have much
time. i was wondering if vitamin c and other such supplements could help
improve her condition. i started her on coq10 2 days ago,but i havent
noticed any change,she is on bed and is rapidly losing energy. she was
diagnosed as a diabetic 2 weeks ago.
Her current medicines are:
Spiromide: 1+ 1/2+0
loprin : 1+0+0
Carveda: 1/2+0+1/2
digoxin: 1/2 +0+0
Nexum: 0+0+1
daonil: 1/2+0+0
the coenzyme i am giving her is :
Coq-10 (GNC) 100mg:Gelatin,soybean oil,Glycerin, Chlorophyll, Titanium
Dioxide(natural mineral whitener)
She is taking 3 pills of Coq-10 everyday.
My family is extremely worried about her, kindly let me know how if there
are any supplements which can help her.
thank you

Sorry to hear about your mother. 300 mg of CoQ10? Assuming she has her gallbladder, she needs to take CoQ10 with fats in order for the CoQ10 to be absorbed into the blood stream. Does she like peanut butter? I would try 200 mg 3 times daily. (i.e. 2 pills at a time.)
I would also try to start her on the Pauling therapy (vitamin C/lysine) as described in this post:

If she can't take pills, then the Tower Ascorsine-9 product is a wonderful choice: http://paulingtherapy.com/products.html#A9
If by nexum you meant nexium - acid blocker, then I am concerned because one requires natural levels of stomach acid to absorb vitamin C. Good reference, see Jonathon Wright book WHY STOMACH ACID IS GOOD FOR YOU. http://www.amazon.com/Why-Stomach-Acid-Good-You/dp/0871319314/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1276694591&sr=1-1
Diabetes can also interfere with vitamin C metabolism. Type 2 can be controlled. Stop all trans fats in her diet while you read:
