Hi Cindy... For coenzyme Cq-10 I take Debittered Brewer's Yeast (DBY) as my source -- one or more tablespoons with water a day with food. DBY also provides the full range of B vitamins (except perhaps cobolamine), Selenium, fibre, ribose with reasonable amounts of copper, magnesium, zinc, chromium and manganese.
I also take 4 tablets of dessicated liver(DL) at mealtimes. I simply crunch them and chase them down with water. Taking DL on a daily basis provides my baseline for vitamins, minerals and amino acids in one of the cheapest and most bio-available forms for our bodies.
Doing the above provides my baseline equivalent of multi-vits and is much more effective.
On top of this I take extra nutrients in their proper orthomolecular amounts such as higher dose Vitamin C (at least 3 grams a day as Sodium Ascorbate), Magnesium Chloride or Mag Citrate (usually 800 mg) and Lugol's Iodine with water. I usually always alkalize now on a daily basis using Ted's Alkalizing Remedies deepending on how I'm feeling. I also suplement VCO on on a regular basis.
I further protect my liver and kidneys by taking ALA, Selenium, Milk Thistle and Chanca piedra.
My own preventative strategy or philosophy against illness is based strongly on just protecting the intestines, liver and kidneys. That way you ensure proper and healthy nutrient absorption pathways, blood purity is assured leading to healthier, balanced hormnone levels and a stronger immune system wherein all the excretory pathways are also strongly protected. Then all you have to do is ensure that you eat proper and healthy non-processed foods. This is the difficult part for most people I think because a lifetime of bad eating habits can be very difficult to change.
