While I was in the “very sick” part of this journey I read some advice from Mantak Chia, the Taoist teacher and healer, which proved to be extremely helpful to me.

It went like this:

“You must love the part of yourself that is sick.”

I didn’t even realize until I heard this advice that I seriously hated the part of myself that was sick. After reading Chia’s words it felt so right and so needed to love that sick part me especially.

Silica can be taken in the form of the herb, Horsetail. It normalizes bowel function and clears the intestinal tract. It also reconstructs damaged and inflamed intestinal walls.

From Wikipedia:

"This vitamin-like substance is, by nature, present in all human cells and responsible for the production of the body’s own energy. . . Ninety-five percent of all the human body’s energy requirements is converted with the aid of CoQ₁₀."

I use NOW FOODS CoQ10 100 mg with Hawthorn Berry Vegetarian - 90 Vcaps

All forms of CoQ10 will work better if taken with a meal containing fats or with healthy supplements providing fat, such as fish oil, flax oil, coconut oil, etc.
