Nothing. I have literally walked into the office with several double-blind, peer-reviewed, large n studies printed out, the relevant sections carefully highlighted, to argue for the treatment I wanted, only for the doctor to repeat that this treatment does not work, like his conviction would somehow undo the data stating that it clearly bloody does. I take Q10 as well. Crucial supplement for me.  There is this weird thing where some doctors believe that a substance that was not synthetically derived from scratch and created as a novel substance in a lab, but instead isolated from plants, or even delivered in the form of whole plants, can somehow not have any effect on your body, good or bad, as though such substances had an intrinsically different ineffective character. I have doctors go "no need to note the supplements, just the meds" and me telling them that they have significant interactions with other medications and blood values that they should really keep equally in mind does absolutely nothing. They'd want to know if you have taken aspirin, but not if you have taken willow bark. They group together proven cures with fucking homeopathy. It's the same mindset that leads to people poisoning themselves because "it is just herbs". "Just herbs" can heal you, or kill you.
