IMPORTANT question for list members; On the list a few days ago information was posted about a three year study on Q-10 being conducted by a Dr Shults from U.C.San Diego. One of the 12 locations that will be doing the tests is Emory in Atlanta. It just so happens that I am going there on Tuesday for a routine visit with my movement disorder doctor. I am thinking about asking him if I would be a good canidate to participate in these trials. They are looking for people with "early stage parkinsons". Paitents will receive either a placebo or one of three different strengths of the Q-10. There is ;no gaurantee that it will be helpfull, and no gaurantee that that there will not be side effects in the large doses that some paitents will receive. If you were me, what questions would you ask the doctor, and what questions should I be asking myself. What factors should I consider before taking a substance that not a whole lot is known about . The article points out that many people have been taking this substance, but in small doses, compared to what doses will be given in this trial (300, 600, & 1200mgs) Any input from list members would be appreciated. I have until Tuesday morning at 9am to get input from you all. Thanks, Lanier Maddux 63/3/2 Chattanooga Tenn.
