What do congestive heart failure, gum disease and cancer all have in common? … Very often, a deficiency of coenzyme Q10!

Also known as ubiquinone (from the word ubiquitous and the coenzyme quinone), coenzyme Q10 is a potent, naturally occurring antioxidant. It contains the special bioflavonoid, quercetin along with a complete array of other bioflavonoids.

It has a molecular structure that is similar to vitamin K and is a powerful antioxidant both on its own and in combination with vitamin E. It is also vital in powering the body’s energy production (ATP) cycle.

Coenzyme Q10 is found throughout the body in cell membranes and is particularly abundant in the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, spleen, pancreas and adrenal glands. The total body content of coenzyme Q10 is only about 500-1500mg and decreases with age.

Even though the body has the ability to produce coenzyme Q10, deficiencies have been reported in a range of clinical conditions, including strokes, hypertension (high blood pressure), heart attacks, atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), muscular dystrophy, periodontal disease and AIDS. Since its discovery and isolation 40 years ago, hundreds of clinical research studies have been done on Coenzyme Q10, and it appears that this nutrient is absolutely vital to health.

We are now deep into the 2008 political season and the most talked about topic is the lack of affordable health insurance.
Health insurance continues to be a problem for over 40,000 Americans.
Recently, I applied for insurance for myself and my family and the premium was 720.00 per month. This is absolutely ridiculous. While researching for health insurance, I came across an interesting concept from Ameriplan. Health discount plans are a great alternative to paying expensive premiums. There are no pre-existing conditions limits and the card can be used immediately. These plans start at 29.99 a month.

The temporomandibular system consists of three basic components; the temporomandibular joint or TMJ, the teeth, and the neuromuscular system.

TMJ- This is the term often used to describe TMD, but it specifically refers to the joints that work your lower jaw, or mandible. These two joints are found just in front of the ears. Their close proximity to the ear is why some patients experience ear symptoms and can often hear the joint pop or crack. These two joints never act alone, that is, when your jaw functions, both joints will be working. There is a small cartilage disc between your lower jaw and skull in the joint. Some TMD problems are caused by dysfunction of this disk. When healthy it acts as a sort of “shock absorber” for the joint.

Teeth- The teeth are like the third leg of a tripod, the TMJs being the other two legs. The alignment of your bite and the functioning of the TMJs are intimately connected. Problems in any of the three areas may effect the other two.
