My main problem is my weight. i have a fatty liver, hernia (stomach) sarcodosis and arthritis what do you think? i don't have a lot of money to afford a dr.
ANSWER: Hi dee,
Dealing with numerous ailments at one time is difficult. I think you are pretty well set here. Do not exceed 60-100 mg of Coenzyme Q-10 per day.
Remember, if something is causing you to feel worse, discontinue use.
Also 500 mg of Milk Thistle 2 times a day will help protect your liver. Also Dandelion Root is a wonderful blood cleanser. Follow package directions.
Alfalfa is a great source of vitamin K, which your body needs to heal.
I am concerned about your Sarcoidosis. This problem can be tricky. I am going to post you link to more raw food treatment. It is a lengthy article, read through if at you leisure, there is some good advice on raw food therapy.
QUESTION: Thanks for you response. but why not to take more than 100mg of coenzme Q-10? i am taking 200mg a day but i will stop is this harmful to me?.
also why are you concerned about my sarcoidosis? i am going to give you a list of the supplement that i am taking now besides the coenzme Q-10. 1000mg of omega-3 daily, N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine 600 mg daily, emergen-c gone health powder 250mg calcium and 500mg of vitamin c with water daily. also at nite i take a half of 1mg of lorazepam for the rapid heart beat that the dr dont know why.

Answer Hi Dee,
Your body won't absorb 200mg of Co Q-10. That is why 100mg is enough. Sarcoidosis is such an unknown ailment that it should be a concern. I believe you are taking the proper supplements. Read the article on raw foods.
If many granulomas form in an organ, they can affect how the organ works. This can cause signs and symptoms. Signs and symptoms vary depending on which organs are affected. Many people who have sarcoidosis have no symptoms or mild symptoms.
I think kefir is a very valuable supplement for treating sarcoidosis. Keep doing what you're doing, Dee, I think you will see positive results.
