"One of the primary causes of fatigue is mitochondrial dysfunction. The mitochondria provide our cellular energy, and when they are not functioning optimally, our cells’ energy production is low, leading to the symptoms of fatigue."
"Mitochondrial health is paramount to healing from chronic illness however it is not something commonly addressed at the beginning of treatment."
"Supplemental CoQ10 is another way to keep mitochondria humming, especially in organs requiring high energy, such as the heart. CoQ10 is a potent antioxidant that protects mitochondria; it also inhibits free-radical damage to cell and mitochondrial membrane."
"Cells derive their energy from mitochondria, microscopic, football-shaped power generators located inside every cell in the body."
"In chronic Lyme disease or in toxicity issues, due to oxidative stress the mitochondria can be injured leading to fatigue that will not improve. In oxidative stress chemicals build up that can damage membranes and even the DNA genetic material of mitochondria."
