The quick Cure for plantar fasciitis!!

I'm not a doctor- But had plantar fascitis so bad 3 years ago, It took me 30 mintues or more to get out of bed, it was so hurtful. I went to a foot doctor, OK some foot doctor's might be good this one sucked. His first option was Corticosteroid injections which deliver medicine into the injured fascia to reduce pain. The first time this happen I was better in 24 hours, I loved this doctor. I had to have two more in each foot. Pain never got better and his next option was surgry. I was working retail and being off my foot that long wasn't an option. SO I started to do reseachr. I found out the shots were considered a last resuort and this treatment may weaken the plantar fascia and result in further damage and some doctor willn't even do it. I found a pill you can by at Wal-Mart Its called CoQ10. Its was a whole list of things it can help you for, But it has given me a healthy Plantar Fasciitis, only problem you will take it for ever- I stopped it last week to save a few $1 and I can hardly walk again. Wow. If your a walker or Runner and you get this hated word Please try it out.

According to the Mayo Clinic[35] "CoQ10 has been used, recommended, or studied for numerous conditions, but remains controversial as a treatment in many areas." Further clinical results are needed to determine whether supplementation with coenzyme Q10 is beneficial for healthy people.

[edit] Mitochondrial disorders
Supplementation of coenzyme Q10 is a treatment for some of the very rare and serious mitochondrial disorders and other metabolic disorders, where patients are not capable of producing enough coenzyme Q10 because of their disorder.[36] Coenzyme Q10 is then prescribed by a physician.[37]

[edit] Heart failure
There is some clinical evidence[38] that supplementation with coenzyme Q10 is beneficial in treatment of patients with congestive heart failure. However, The American College of Cardiology published in 2005 an expert consensus document concluding that the value of coenzyme Q10 in cardiovascular disease has not been clearly established.[39] The Mayo clinic says that there is not enough scientific evidence to recommend for or against the use of CoQ10 in patients with coronary heart disease.[35]

[edit] Migraine headaches
Supplementation of coenzyme Q10 has been found to have a beneficial effect on the condition of some sufferers of migraine headaches. So far, three studies have been done, of which two were small, did not have a placebo group, were not randomized, and were open-label,[40] and one was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, which found statistically significant results despite its small sample size of 42 patients.[41] Dosages were 150 to 300 mg/day.

[edit] Cancer
CoQ10 is also being investigated as a treatment for cancer, and as relief from cancer treatment side-effects.[42]

[edit] Cardiac arrest
Another recent study shows a survival benefit after cardiac arrest if coenzyme Q10 is administered in addition to commencing active cooling of the body to 90–93 degrees Fahrenheit (32–34 degrees Celsius).[43]

[edit] Blood pressure
There are several reports concerning the effect of CoQ10 on blood pressure in human studies.[44] In a recent (2007) meta-analysis of the clinical trials of CoQ10 for hypertension, a research group led by Professor Frank Rosenfeldt (Director, Cardiac Surgical Research Unit, Alfred Hospital, Melbourne, Australia) reviewed all published trials of coenzyme Q10 for hypertension, and assessed overall efficacy, consistency of therapeutic action, and side-effect incidence. Meta-analysis was performed in 12 clinical trials (362 patients) comprising three randomized controlled trials, one crossover study, and eight open-label studies. The research group concluded that coenzyme Q10 has the potential in hypertensive patients to lower systolic blood pressure by up to 17 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure by up to 10 mm Hg without significant side-effects.[45]

[edit] Lifespan
One study demonstrated that low dosages of coenzyme Q10 reduce oxidation and DNA double-strand breaks, and a combination of a diet rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and coenzyme Q10 supplementation leads to a longer lifespan in rats.[46] Coles and Harris demonstrated an extension in the lifespan of rats when they were given coenzyme Q10 supplementation.[47] Another study demonstrated that coenzyme Q10 extends the lifespan of C. elegans (nematode).[48]

[edit] Radiation injury
A 2002 study reported that, in rat experiments, coenzyme Q10 taken as dietary supplement reduced radiation damage to the animals' blood.[49]
