Maybe you weren't as sick as that group.  How is the quality of
your life now?  Most of the survivors in the ubiquinone (Co-Q-10)
group got much better.
Perhaps a year ago, I read that supplemental ubiquinone, also
known as coenzyme Q-10, reduced the toxicity of heavy doses of
Mevacor that were used in some cancer treatments.  The toxic
symptoms they were talking about, muscle and tendon pain, were
the reasons I stopped using Mevacor to control my sky-high
cholesterol.  Without the Mevacor, I was having a little of the
pain that was severe with the Mevacor.  I thought it sounded
like I might be deficient in ubiquinone.
I looked it up on the internet, and read an article or two in
the NIH library, and decided it was safe enough to try 30mg
daily.  That was when I read about the congestive heart failure
study.  It is also supposed to help with gum disease, but my
dentist couldn't see any improvement.
It worked like a charm for my tendon pain.  To my pleasant
surprize, when I bark my shins, they now heal quickly;
before, they used to take months to heal.
What causes your congestive heart failure?  Don't you hope
it is ubiquinone deficiency, which is curable?
