It is amazing to me how much more people in this group know about coQ10 and the prior studies etc than the seemingly clueless people that ran this latest study...ie the prior information indicated a slowing of progression not symptomatic relief.......1200mg per day was a starting point !!! 300mg is like a fly swatter at a bear....Whenever someone asks me if coQ10 works I am reminded of the movie "Parent Trap". The twin girls have their potential stepmom in the woods and don't like her. They have convinced her that hitting two sticks together keeps away mountain lions. She finally says "there are no mountain lions around here" they respond "see, the sticks work". "I could have worse symptoms today....see the coQ10 works...ha ha (bitter laugh)........no one really knows so in the meantime I take my coQ10 and hit my sticks together....peace and love, dan ----- Original Message ----- From: "M.Schild" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2007 11:15 PM Subject: Re: Coenzyme Q10 Does Not Improve Parkinson's Disease Symptoms >> 1.
