JOE MCREE
Seventeen years ago, 51-year-old Joe McRee woke up gasping for air. In the midst of a mild heart attack, he was rushed to the hospital. Despite having a triple bypass – and even without a history of cardiovascular disease – his heart condition continued to deteriorate. Due to his failing health, his energy levels dropped so low that he was unable to continue his favorite hobby - tinkering in his wood and metal shop.
After an initial examination, cardiologist Peter H. Langsjoen suggested that Joe begin supplementing with 300 mg per day of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) to improve his rapidly deteriorating heart condition.
“I was really skeptical when he suggested that I start taking what seemed to be an over-the-counter vitamin. I thought there was no way this was going to work,” said Joe. “But Dr. Langsjoen had helped others see great results, so I gave it a shot.”
Within three days, he noticed feeling significantly better and stronger. But the improvements in his energy levels fluctuated over the ensuing years. Throughout the course of 11 years, Joe suffered a few mild heart attacks and had eight stents inserted in his heart to help with his poor blood flow. Under Dr. Langsjoen’s supervision, Joe’s CoQ10 plasma levels, ejection fraction and overall heart health were monitored every three months. Joe’s dosage of CoQ10 was increased or decreased based on test results.
Joe’s overall condition finally improved to the point that he planned to celebrate his 50th wedding anniversary to his high school sweetheart on a cruise. However, as the cruise approached, plasma tests showed that Joe was no longer absorbing the supplemental CoQ10 into his bloodstream. His CoQ10 plasma levels rapidly deteriorated and his ejection fraction, which indicates the rate at which your heart pumps blood, dropped 30 percent. His heart was the weakest it had ever been, and he began suffering constant chest pain.
Dr. Langsjoen switched Joe to a newly available, active antioxidant form of CoQ10 – Kaneka QH™ (ubiquinol) – to see whether this pre-converted version might absorb better. But while hopeful about the new therapy, Dr. Langsjoen suggested Joe postpone his anniversary cruise until Joe’s heart function improved.
Following his switch to Kaneka QH™ and other cardiologist-prescribed health regimen, Joe’s plasma CoQ10 levels started to climb. His circulation and breathing improved, his CoQ10 plasma levels almost doubled and his ejection fraction increased to 50 percent.
“My energy level did a complete turnaround,” said Joe. “I finally felt strong enough to tinker in my workshop on a regular basis and even got the all-clear to celebrate my golden wedding anniversary onboard a cruise ship. As I have gotten older I have developed other medical conditions, but for the first time in a while, my heart was not the biggest worry on my mind.”
After ten months, 68-year-old Joe continues to supplement with 450 mg of KanekaQH™ along with his usual daily multivitamin and diabetes medication. He feels healthier and stronger than he has in years and his energy levels are high enough to allow him to spend most days in his workshop. Each time his heart begins to weaken and his energy and plasma levels plummet, Dr. Langsjoen adjusts his KanekaQH™ dosage, and Joe reports that his condition improves accordingly.
“I had never even heard of KanekaQH™ until Dr. Langsjoen, but after seeing the results and how it makes me feel - I’m a believer!” said Joe. “Even those around me have been so amazed at the drastic improvement in my health that they want to start taking KanekaQH™ themselves.”
