Chronic Scurvy

(AKA Heart Disease or Cardiovascular Disease)

Linus Pauling: The leading cause of death in America is a vitamin C deficiency disease!

More than 20 years ago, Linus Pauling and Matthias Rath alerted the world that the specific cause of [censored] is a chronic, sub-clinical vitamin C deficiency. Their elegant unified theory explains why high doses of vitamin C and lysine (aka the Pauling therapy) has been effective preventing and treating [censored].

Houston There is a Problem! Feeling Cured and then Stopping Vitamin C

Chronic scurvy is, after all scurvy. Until our genetic defect is rectified, we cannot escape the requirement to take vitamin C.
In our now almost 20 year experience, we have noticed that [censored] recurs after the protocol is stopped.

Former, severely ill, heart patients feel completely cured and many stopped taking their high doses of vitamin C. One of the reasons for writing the Pauling-therapy handbook was to document that stopping the Pauling therapy (high dose vitamin C and lysine), because the person feels well, invariably returns the person to the condition they were in before they began the therapy.

In our experience, the decline occurs consistently after about six months stopping the high vitamin C/lysine therapy.

The high dosage therapy can probably be lessened over time, but we don't know by how much. (No one is studying Pauling's therapy.) Our experience makes it clear that Pauling was right when he said that vitamin C should not be stopped, even for a single day , and continuing high dosages is cheap "insurance."

Vitamin C Foundation The recurrence problem should not be an issue for people taking these supplements for prevention and were feeling well to begin with and stop.

Email Correspondence Documents Impressive Results

Email Correspondence with Owen

The first reports were from Linus Pauling himself (circa 1989). These were published and are presented as part of the DVD Linus Pauling video on Heart Disease: A Unified Theory of Cause and Cure. In this lecture on video, Linus Pauling himself depicts the first use of his invention, the seemingly miraculous reversals of incapacitated CVD patients.

The Pauling video lecture contains additional information for health professionals and may be obtained on-line, or by telephoning 800-894-9025, or 1-312-888-5117 outside the USA.

Linus Pauling his own words.

Two and one half years ago, (1991) I was in a meeting of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States. I was in the hallway of the academy building and another member of the academy came up to me.

He said, Dr. Pauling, " I have heart disease. My brother, my father both died of heart attacks. I am a biochemist but I was retired from the National Institutes of Health several years ago for disability because of my heart. I have had 3 by-pass operations, and I can't have any more by-pass operations. I like to walk, but I have trouble. After I have walked a little way I develop angina pectoris pain in my heart. If I take a nitroglycerin tablet, I can walk a little farther, and then I may have to take another nitroglycerin tablet."

He went on to say," I have been taking vitamin C, 5 grams a day for several years because of your recommendation. Is there something else that I could do that would permit me to walk?"

I said, "I could make a suggestion, it has never been tried before. Take Lysine. "

Well I didn't need to tell him what Lysine was, that it's an essential amino acid and you have to get around a gram a day to be in good health, and you get it in your foods, because he is one of the most distinguished biochemists in the United States, recipient of the National Medal of Science in the United States. So he said, how much shall I take? I thought, what do I know. I know that people get a gram or two in their food depending upon how much meat and fish they eat, that it's essential they have to get around one gram. It hasn't any known toxicity in animals or human beings.

I said 5 grams, 5 grams a day. He thanked me.

A couple of months later he telephoned me and said its almost miraculous. I started taking a gram a day and 2 grams and so on. Within a month after I had reached 5 grams a day of Lysine in addition to my 5 grams of vitamin C, I could walk 2 miles without any nitroglycerin tablets or without any pain in the chest. He said he had cut down the amount of heart medicine he was taking in half. "It's almost miraculous," he said.

Another couple of months went by and he telephoned me and said that, "I was feeling so good the other day that I cut down a big tree in our yard, and was chopping it up for wood, and I was also painting the house, and I got chest pains", despite his 5 grams of lysine, so he said that he "went up to 6 grams of lysine and 6 grams of vitamin C and told me now "I am continuing chopping down, chopping up the tree and painting the house". And now a couple of years later he is still in fine health. -- Linus Pauling [1993 Linus Pauling Video on Heart Disease]

While in congress, he was a co-sponsor of the Office of Alternative Medicine at the National Institutes of health. He is and has been a great friend of alternative medicine. We heard about his illness earlier this year (reportedly he was near death from heart disease.) We then sent him a "care package" of our Cardio-C and literature.

NIH Denies Grant to Study Pauling's Therapy (twice)

NIH Refuses to Study Pauling/Rath Therapy

The Pauling therapy is simple. Take high doses of two nutrients that are required for life. Doing so can prevent and even cure many forms of cardiovascular and heart disease - in days or weeks. The question becomes how much should one take?

We, under the auspices of the Vitamin C Foundation, submitted two study proposals to the United States National Institutes of Health, (NIH) Office of Alternative Medicine. We were inexperienced in submitting such proposals, but the NIH was free to solicit its own studies. Either proposal would have fairly evaluated the Pauling therapy on heart disease.

These submissions (and subsequent rejections) are a matter of public record.

Probably the main reason that this important discovery has been ignored is economic: Think of more than half the hospitals in your region closing.

Comparing the "Lipid Theory" with the "Unified Theory"

One Pharmacist's View of Coronary Heart Disease.
Vitamin C Foundation "Let's start by thinking about "sludge" in a plumbing system. Sludge tends to plug up the smallest pipes in the system first - not the largest.

Likewise, if the system is cardiovascular, you would expect sludge (plaques) to build up first in the capillaries and arterioles, long before appearing in the carotid and coronary arteries. The first blockages, similarly, you would expect to occur way downstream of the pump, not in close proximity to the heart, where the pressure is the greatest.

Yet, this is not the way cholesterol plugs up arteries. It's the exact reverse. So a plumber's take would be that something else is happening."

Thomas Levy: Cardiologist Agrees: Heart Disease is a Vitamin C Deficiency

Dr. Thomas Levy's important book STOP AMERICA'S #1 KILLER is available.
Vitamin C Foundation Dr. Levy is medical doctor and a cardiologist by training. Some time ago, Dr. Levy analyzed all 27 known cardiovascular disease risk factors. Levy discovered that they all can be reduced to a single factor - low vitamin C.

The important Levy book surveys the massive scientific evidence connecting dietary vitamin C deficiency with the cause of the circulatory condition commonly called heart disease. The disease condition is characterized by atherosclerotic plaque build-ups in arteries leading to angina, heart attack and stroke.

Out of all my heart disease patients, I have had only one who did not improve significantly, and that one patient did not use the recommended type of vitamin C. Another patient last year completely reversed her heart disease in 2 months."

Harvard: Vitamin C Transforms Stem Cells into Heart Muscle Cells

Vitamin C Foundation HARVARD: "VITAMIN C 'ONLY SUBSTANCE OUT OF 880 TESTED' THAT TRANSFORMS MOUSE STEM CELLS INTO HEART MUSCLE CELLS"...

Richard T. Lee, M.D., senior author of the study, says: "We have been taught for decades that when your heart cells are dead, they are dead and there is nothing we can do about it. We are excited about anything suggesting that we can grow more heart cells."

Lee and his colleagues tested 880 bioactive substances — including drugs and vitamins — approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to see if they stimulated the mouse stem cells to become heart muscle cells. The cells were genetically altered to give off a fluorescent bright green color when viewed under a microscope if they had become heart muscle cells.

"We only got 1 out of the 880 to light up, and that was from ascorbic acid, the chemical commonly known as vitamin C," says Lee, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, and a lecturer in biological engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Mass.

Pauling's Therapy For Gorillas in Captivity

Heart Disease in Gorillas


How Pauling's Vitamin C Therapy May Save the Gorillas
The fact that gorillas in captivity are suffering heart disease in greater number is evidence that something has changed about the gorilla conditions in zoos. It is unlikely that zookeepers would deliberately mistreat these animals, but they may be getting bad advice. Dietitians trained in the old-fashioned nutrition are giving bad advice to humans about vitamin C. Our cursory review of the zoological literature has provided an indication that so-called nutrition experts have argued that less vitamin C is required in certain primates than the amounts these animals would obtain in the wild. Some authorities have even advised that more vitamin C might possibly be harmful. This advice, related to iron intake, is bad advice. The iron source in the diet should be reduced, not the dietary intake of vitamin C.

If captive gorillas are receiving the same amount of vitamin C that zookeepers have long considered adequate, perhaps some new variable is present. The nonprofit Vitamin C Foundation is aware of several factors that reduce the bioavailability of vitamin C in humans, and it is safe to assume that these factors are at work in our genetic cousins. Either the animal food is not fresh (meaning the highly reactive vitamin is lost); the diet has been changed to include more processed foods (which would adversely affect cell membranes and thus vitamin C uptake to cells); or the process of "evolution" in zoos is allowing more gorillas that would otherwise have died in the wild to survive and have offspring.

Eyes: A Window to the Heart...
Vitamin C Foundation Dr. Sydney Bush, a noted British optometrist, is the founder of CardioRetinometry, a new medical field that analyzes the future health of the heart. "We are looking into life's secrets," Bush said, "When we look inside the eye - to call it a crystal ball of your future is an understatement." In addition, Bush found that vitamin C can improve that future. With Cardioretinometry, doctors can actually track how much vitamin C diminishes the amount of cholesterol in the blood vessels."

Vitamin C and Heart Disease Research

Inexplicably, the mainstream has yet to investigate the Pauling therapy, but there has been research on lower dosages of vitamin C (without lysine).
