The Solution For Heart Disease

Karl Loren
I solemnly profess that I hate all pretenses to secrets and I look upon the printed bills of quacks, who pretend to nostrums and private medicines, to be mere cheats and tricks to amuse the common people and to pick their pockets. But if any man can communicate a good medicine, he shows himself a lover of his country more than of himself, and deserves the thanks of mankind. -- Dr. William Simpson (1680 AD) found in Ralph Moss's Cancer Therapy: The Independent Consumers Guide
| "Now I've got to the point where I think we can get almost complete control of cardiovascular disease, heart attacks and strokes. The proper use of vitamin C and lysine can can prevent cardiovascular disease and even CURE it." [Linus Pauling, 1994 Interview] |
According to one of the world's most highly regarded scientists , we human beings no longer have to fear premature death or heart attack caused by progressive cardiovascular disease (CVD), undergo heart by-pass surgery or angioplasty, or suffer the chest pain of Angina Pectoris.The medicinal substances involved are not drugs. The two primary ingredients of the Linus Pauling invention are both required in some daily amount for life itself. The great benefit comes from taking these two completely non-toxic substances in amounts much larger than one normally consumes in the diet.
| Linus Pauling did not make this claim lightly, although he made it without fanfare. Pauling waited until after careful experiments at his institute confirmed the Lp(a)/vitamin C connection. |
No one in the medical community denies (at least publicly) that the Pauling Therapy works, in theory or in practice. We believe it can prevent the build-up of atheroslcerotic plaque, or even reduce existing plaques in most people in a matter of weeks. If the experience of the past few years with the many so-called "terminal" heart disease patients who contact this web site is any guide, melting plaque is not dangerous.
The story of the century?
The details of this amazing discovery, its suppression by medical authorities, elements of the United States government and other governments, and the mainstream press, are described on these web pages. You can also view a Linus Pauling lecture on video tape. Pauling explains how you can return your cardiovascular health, safely, without surgery.
Thanks to medical science, it is now possible for cardiovascular disease patients to live a more healthful future; free of pain and symptoms of their former cardiovascular illness. An extraordinary claim. A claim unknown to most doctors, but one those suffering severe disease can verify for themselves in a few weeks.
| "If you are at risk of heart disease, or if there is a history of heart disease in your family, if your father or other members of the family died of a heart attack or stroke or whatever, or if you have a mild heart attack yourself then you had better be taking vitamin C and Lysine." [Linus Pauling, 1994 interview] |
The Pauling Therapy consists of two substances that inhibit the binding of lipoprotein(a). Pauling's specific treatment recommendation for the lipoprotein(a) problem is as follows: |
Agent 1
Agent 2
Vitamin C (3-6 gm)
L-Lysine (3-6 gm)
Both ingredients are required in the daily diet for life itself. Neither has any known toxic dose. These amounts Pauling recommended are needed to increase blood serum levels to therapeutic levels.
In 1986, the late American scientist, two time Nobel prize winner,
and humanitarian, Linus Pauling wrote:
"It is fortunate that vitamin C is not a drug it is an orthomolecular
substance, normally present in the human body and required for life, and it has
extremely low toxicity. You do not need to have a physician's prescription or
the approval of the medical establishment to use it in the best way to improve
your health and to prevent heart disease. Your knowledge may even be greater and
your judgment better than theirs.""Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent by the
National Institutes of Health, the American Heart Association, and other
agencies in support of studies of cardiovascular disease in relation to LDL and
HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, saturated fats, and unsaturated fats. Very
little attention has been paid to vitamin C and other vitamins. I think that
these agencies have been betting on the wrong horse.
[Pauling, How to Live Longer and
Feel Better, 1986]
Eight years later, in 1994 after experiments at the Linus Pauling Institute of Science and Medicine, Pauling announced that in his opinion:
| THERE IS A CURE FOR OCCLUSIVE CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, aka HEART DISEASE. |
It is now well established that lipoprotein(a) cholesterol, or Lp(a) for short, binds to the Lysine Binding Site (LBS). Linus Pauling explained:
| "Knowing that lysyl residues are what causes lipoprotein(a) to get stuck to the wall of the artery and form atherosclerotic plaques, any physical chemist would say at once that the thing to do is prevent that by putting the amino acid lysine in the blood to a greater extent than it is normally. You need lysine to be alive, it is essential, you have to get about 1 gram a day to keep in protein balance, but you can take lysine, pure lysine, a perfectly non toxic substance in food , as pills, which puts extra lysine molecules in the blood. They enter into competition with the lysyl residues on the wall of arteries and accordingly count to prevent Lp(a) from being deposited, or even will work to pull it loose and destroy atherosclerotic plaques [Linus Pauling, JON, Aug 1994]." |
This information, so far, has been ignored by the medical journals and national media.
During the last few years of his life, Pauling lectured on this monumental development. His words, published in 1994, bear repeating. After crucial animal experiments were conducted at his institute, he stated unequivocally:
"Now I've got to the point where I think we can get almost
complete control of cardiovascular disease, heart attacks and strokes. The
proper use of vitamin C and lysine can can prevent cardiovascular disease and
even cure it." [L. Pauling, 1994]
The current system is designed to ascertain the safety and efficacy of "drugs." There are no established medical research processes or procedures to evaluate "non drug" remedies, and with good reason. There is little evidence that vital substances required for life in small amounts can have great therapeutic effects in larger amounts. The medical scientific establishment, to put it simply, doesn't know how to evaluate the claim you are reading about.
It stands to reason that any safe heart disease therapy, no matter how low the probable success rate, should be vigorously investigated. Hundreds of thousands of people world wide might benefit. If only ten to 20 heart by pass operations are avoided, the savings is a million dollars.
| WHY AREN'T WORLD SCIENTISTS INVESTIGATING THIS CLAIM? |
But wait a minute!? Anecdotal and empirical experience over the last two years matches Pauling's own experience as described on the video. Heart patients declared terminally ill with no more medical options, tell us the same thing. All have said that they experienced a remarkable recovery from the Pauling multiple gram therapy. An apparent outright cure invented by the only person ever to win two unshared Nobel Prizes: world famous chemist Linus Pauling. (Even CVD patients who had not been declared terminal by their MDs claim great benefit.)
While reasonable souls do not expect 100% success for any therapy, more than 9 out of 10 reports match Pauling's initial experience as described on his video.
| Maybe Linus Pauling was right? Maybe Heart Disease in humans is caused by a chronic Vitamin C deficiency!?! |
That's right. Many of these former heart patients had been declared beyond hope ... at least according to their MDs... Surgery was no longer an option... As luck would have it, they found this internet page...
Drug free therapy aside, it is beyond comprehension that no scientific studies can either refute or support Linus Pauling's specific claim of a cure for heart disease. (Apparently, the march of science these days depends on expected monetary returns.)
Read the above paragraph again. Pauling made his pronouncement in 1993/1994. (If you are getting a headache, you are not alone. This is difficult to believe.)
Recently, the United States government, National Institutes of Health, rejected a proposal to study this claim.
| If the NIH/Government sponsored a good study, the outcome could potentially stop about 900,000 heart operations and angioplasties (of the 1 million U.S. operations currently.) This creates a strong vested interest opposing such a study. |
"-- the heart surgery industry is a fraud." -- Julian Whitaker"The heart surgery industry is booming. According to American Heart Association statistics, in 1995 1,460,000 angiograms (the diagnostic procedure that starts the ball rolling) were performed at an average cost of $10,880 per procedure. This resulted in 573,000 bypass surgeries at $44,820 a shot, and 419,000 angioplasties (the balloon procedure for opening up arteries) at $20,370 each. The total bill for these procedures is over $50 billion a year.
The millions of people told that they needed immediate surgery to save their lives actually had a 98.4% chance of surviving without surgery! [According to the CASE study published by the New England Journal of Med., 1983] -- Julian WhitakerThere is no scientific justification for the use of angiography, balloon angioplasty and bypass surgery to treat most cardiovascular disease. Several studies over the past two decades, involving over 6,000 patients with heart disease, have shown that patients funneled into surgical procedures to do significantly worse than those treated with noninvasive techniques. “Noninvasive” refers to the use of medication, not diet, exercise and multiple vitamin supplements, which can be quite beneficial.”
"Other than their cost, the only thing definitely known about these procedures is that they do kill people. Roughly one in 25 patients having a bypass and about one in 65 undergoing angioplasty die from the procedure. Frankly, if we took all of the bypass surgeons and catheter-pushing cardiologists, tied their thumbs together and locked them in a closet, we would save close to 30,000 lives and over $50 billion ever year."
[Julian Whitaker, Health & Healing, Sep 98, Vol 8, No. 9]
Why no proof of the PAULING THERAPY? There is no special interest economic incentive to provide proof, only a large counter-incentive by those who might run such a study not to. The only incentive is in the general economic interest. And if the Government won't conduct a study to verify a cure already available in local drug stores for a few dollars, who will? Especially if it would cost a company millions. And why bother? Vitamin C and lysine are completely safe. If if this doesn't work, it has been shown to be harmless.
| Pharmaceutical association advertising claim the drug companies are developing over 80 new drugs to fight heart disease. |
(Proposal to Study Heart Disease Resubmitted to NIH April 6, 1998, and Rejected again, August 1998) A coincidence?Or more proof of a BIG LIE campaign to coverup the value of vitamin C?
| And the improvement in symptoms appears faster if the amino acid proline is added to the Pauling formula. Recently researchers discovered another Lp(a) Binding Site, the Proline Binding Site , analogous to the Lysine Binding Site. Unlike vitamin C and lysine, which humans must get from the diet to live, the human body usually makes its own proline. Apparently, there is a strong proline anti plaque effect in vivo too. |
We have verified one recent case where ultrasound estimated a 90% and 50% blockage in the carotid arteries. Surgery confirmed and cleared the 90% blockage. One month later (after the patient adopted Pauling's program) a second surgery on the 50% verified that his carotid arteries had somehow, "miraculously," cleared of the blockage.
| Dr. Robert Cathcart, III, MD, reports that he hasn't seen a single case of heart disease develop in patients who didn't already have a bad heart to begin with. Dr. Cathcart has treated over 20,000 patients with high doses of ascorbic acid vitamin C! |
The culprit: A "sticky" relative of LDL called lipoprotein(a) or Lp(a).
THESE STATISTICS PROVE, IF LITTLE ELSE, THAT SOCALLED MODERN MEDICINE AND ITS PHARMACEUTICAL BENEFACTORS HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO EFFECTIVELY COMBAT HEART DISEASE. Since Linus Pauling said he did, why aren't our doctors willing to at least listen?
QUESTION:What is probably the most dangerous thing a human being can do? |
ANSWER:Limit one's daily consumption of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) to the United States Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of 60 mg. |
Disease in guinea pigs occurs in weeks, the human form of the disease usually takes decades to develop. While differences are to be expected in animal experiments, the lesions produced by these experiments are remarkable for their similarity to the human lesion. The Pauling/Rath vitamin C theory you are about to learn about makes sense. Animals, other than guinea pigs, manufacture their own vitamin C in the amount of several thousand milligrams every day. Humans, like guinea pigs and other primates, can not make a single molecule of vitamin C in their bodies.
| During the 1970s vitamin C consumption in the U.S. rose by 300%. Mortality from heart disease decreased by 30% in the U.S. the only country with a significant drop in heart disease fatalities. Yet, the media and organized medicine ignore these facts and disseminate misrepresentations of scientific findings regarding the value of vitamin C. Under the heading truth is stranger than fiction, a recent media campaign credits a substance found in "junk food" for what they claim is a 40% reduction in heart disease mortality during the past 2 decades in the United States. |
Science has known for almost two decades that damage to the walls of blood vessels (or lesions) are a necessary precondition for the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in human beings. The most popular competing theories why these lesions occur include:
In our view, all competing theories must be able to explain:
These two observations are the cornerstones of the vitamin C theory.
| Furthermore, the early findings of Canadian doctors Patterson and Willis should not be forgotten. Their research indicated that arterial tissue levels of ascorbate (vitamin C) are much lower in heart patients when compared with controls, and that ascorbate supplementation could reduce arterial deposits. This pioneering work should have been immediately followed up. |
During the last decade, 2time Nobel Prize winner Pauling and his associate and heart researcher Dr. Matthias Rath, M.D., building on the work of Patterson and Willis, independently formulated their own assessment regarding the cause and nature of occlusive heart disease. They agree that heart disease is essentially a natural repair process that is started by a lesion; their theory explains the primary reason these lesions occur. Accordingly, what we call atherosclerosis, or human cardiovascular disease, is a natural body healing process for the walls of arteries and veins structurally weak from insufficient collagen, a condition caused by inadequate vitamin C in the diet.
The oxidized cholesterol and homocysteine theorists, while pointing to their own experiments, have yet to satisfactorily explain the distribution of infarctions. They are usually close to the heart. Nor do these theories explain why animals that produce their own vitamin C in large amounts are free from the same disease.
| There is a strange omission of information about vitamin C in the medical textbooks. (This assertion is easily verified.) The result is that most medical practitioners today are grossly ignorant of the properties of ascorbic acid and find it difficult to believe that ascorbic acid deficiency could be the root cause of heart disease. |
| There is evidence that textbooks earlier this century
contained much more information about vitamin C. Most certainly the information
about vitamin C and collagen production was there. Why the change? Shouldn't we
have learned even more by now? If Pauling was correct about vitamin C, then it
is likely the mysterious missing info about vitamin C is an intentional omission
and constitutes scientific fraud.
If you are a medical student, ask your professors why so little information is provided about one of the most important vital substances known. [Owen Fonorow] |
According to Stephen Jeffrey, DDS, private correspondence:
| "The ongoing effort to discredit vitamin C began in the 1940s after it was
shown to have anti viral and antitoxic properties. Certain members of the
pharmaceuticalmedical complex, after first promoting vitamin C as a treatment
for fevers and infections, realized that widespread use of this non prescription
substance would cancel the need for developing a lucrative prescription anti
viral drug market.
For this reason, all the scientific trials which have not shown vitamin C to be of any benefit against viral attacks either shorted the recommended dose or altered the recommended treatment procedure. Anyone who knows the vitamin C has been blatantly discredited in this manner should be ashamed to speak of ethics in order to forestall a proper evaluation of the vitamin's therapeutic potential. [Referring to the recent NY Times story] |
Of course, different people require different amounts of this important substance.
| One important function of vitamin C is in the formation and maintenance of collagen, the basis of connective tissue, which is found in skin, ligaments, cartilage, vertebral discs, joint linings, capillary walls, and the bones and teeth. Collagen, and thus vitamin C, is needed to give support and shape to the body, to help wounds heal, and to maintain healthy blood vessels. Specifically, ascorbic acid works as a coenzyme to convert proline and lysine to hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine, both important to the collagen structure. [Elson M. Hass, M.D. http://www.healthy.net/library/books/haas/vitamins/cvit.htm] |
Recent German reports, as mentioned by the American Heart Association, credit vitamin C in the blood stream with "almost completely" reversing "endothelial dysfunction" in smokers. In other words, ascorbic acid prevents damage to the walls of blood vessels that may lead to heart disease.
The Life Extension Foundation reported on page 19 of the September 1997 issue:
| "A study of 1,605 randomly selected man in Finland, aged 42 to 60 years, was conducted between 1984 and 1989. None of the men had evidence of preexisting heart disease. After adjusting for other confounding factors, men who were deficient in vitamin C had 3.5 times more heart attacks than men who were not deficient in vitamin C. The scientists' conclusion was, "Vitamin C deficiency, as assessed by low plasma ascorbate concentration, is a risk factor for coronary heart disease." British Medical Journal (Vol 314, Iss 708, 1997) |
According to the American Medical Association (May 1998) cholesterol lowering drugs are now being positioned as beneficial -- for reasons other than lowering cholesterol!?! (Of course the lay public doesn't realize this and thinks they are beneficial because they lower cholesterol.) The truth is that all the benefits cited, e.g. collagen formation, endothelial function, reduced inflammation, can be had without side effects, simply by taking vitamin C.
LIPOPROTEIN(a) "small a"
Dr. Rath was part of a
research team in Germany that studied postmortem human aortas. They identified
a "sticky" variant of LDL cholesterol in human atherosclerotic plaques the
only component, according to Dr. Rath. [2, 4] This substance is
not found in most animals coincidentally, not in those that manufacture
vitamin C in their bodies. Animals, as we keep pointing out, do not generally
suffer the same kinds of occlusive cardiovascular disease as we humans. Although
similar in composition to LDL, the significance of this mysterious substance
escaped most other researchers, until recently.
LDL LOOKALIKE
According to Pauling/Rath, Lp(a) is a surrogate for ascorbate (vitamin C) is suggested by the fact that this lipoprotein is found generally in the blood of primates and the guinea pig, which have lost the ability to synthesize ascorbate, but only rarely in the blood of other animals. Properties of Lp(a) that are shared with ascorbate, in accordance with this hypothesis, are the acceleration of wound healing and other cellrepair mechanisms, the strengthening of the extra cellular matrix (e.g. blood vessels), and the prevention of lipid peroxidation. High plasma Lp(a) is associated with coronary heart disease and other forms of atherosclerosis in humans, and the incidence of cardiovascular disease is decreased by elevated ascorbate. Similar observations have been made in cancer and diabetes. We have formulated the hypothesis that Lp(a) is a surrogate for ascorbate in humans and other species and have marshaled the evidence bearing on this hypothesis." [3]
These two scientists performed careful laboratory experiments on animals in order to test their theory. They were able repeat earlier experiments and induced atherosclerosis in guinea pigs by restricting the intake of vitamin C to the U. S. RDA (adjusting for body weight). [1] This time, unlike Willis, Pauling and Rath carefully measured Lp(a) levels in the animals.
Over time, roughly five weeks in these animals, vitamin C restriction limits the animals ability to produce the protein collagen. Ultimately the blood vessels lose strength, causing the lesions that result in the arterial healing process we call atherosclerosis.
| Experiment Confirms Theory |
Microscope pictures show the animal lesions mimic the human form of the disease. Lp(a) levels in animals deprived of vitamin C were shown to rise as described in their 1994 U. S. Patent.
Animals in the control group that were fed the same except for the addition of a human equivalent of 3 to 5 gm of vitamin C per day showed no signs of atherosclerosis. Lp(a) remained low in these animals.
| This experiment shows beyond a reasonable doubt that a single factor too little vitamin C causes Lp(a) based atherosclerotic plaques. |
The subject of intense scientific scrutiny, these scientist's insight about the "missing link" in heart disease the coagulating healing factor lipoprotein(a) has been confirmed during a reevaluation of The Framingham Heart Study.
Dr. Pauling stated that, "if you have more than 20mg/dl of lipoprotein(a) in your blood it begins depositing plaques, causing atherosclerosis."
According to Dr. Rath, studies show that special diet does not influence lipoprotein(a) blood levels. Vitamin C and vitamin B3 (niacin) can lower blood levels of lipoprotein(a).
Furthermore, according to Dr. Rath, significant documentation attests that Vitamins belong to the most powerful agents in the fight against heart disease. This fact has been established by studies of thousands of people over many years. Here are some important results of recent clinical studies:
| Vitamin C cuts heart disease rate almost in half (documented in 11,000 Americans over ten years) |
| Vitamin E cuts heart disease rate by more than one third (documented in 36,000 Americans over six years.) |
| Beta Carotene (provitamin A) cuts heart disease rate almost in half (documented in 36,000 Americans). |
"No prescription drug has ever been shown to help prevent heart disease similar [vitamins A, C and E]. These results and those of countless other studies are so clear that anybody questioning the value of vitamins in the prevention of heart disease may safely be considered as uninformed. Matthias Rath"
| You will hear and read in the media that Lp(a) is a "genetic" factor and that there is no known treatment. Believe these pundits and risk your life! |
Quoting Pauling:
"Many investigators contributed to demonstrating that it is lipoprotein(a) that is deposited in plaques, not merely LDL, but Lp(a). If you have more than 20 mg/dl in the blood it begins to deposit plaques and causes atherosclerosis. The question then is: What causes Lp(a) to stick to the wall of the artery and form these plaques?
"Well countless biochemists and chemists discovered what in the wall of the artery causes Lp(a) to adhere and form atherosclerotic plaques and ultimately lead to heart disease, strokes, and peripheral arterial disease. The answer is that there is a particular amino acid in a protein in the wall of the artery lysine which is one of the twenty amino acids that binds the Lp(a) and causes atherosclerotic plaques to develop. I THINK IT IS A VERY IMPORTANT DISCOVERY" [Linus Pauling, 1994]
| "knowing that lysyl residues are what causes lipoprotein(a) to get stuck to the wall of the artery and form atherosclerotic plaques, any physical chemist would say at once that the thing to do is prevent that by putting the amino acid lysine in the blood to a greater extent than it is normally. You need lysine to be alive, it is essential, you have to get about 1 gram a day to keep in protein balance, but you can take lysine, pure lysine, a perfectly non toxic substance in food [as supplements], which puts extra lysine molecules in the blood. They enter into competition with the lysyl residues on the wall of arteries and accordingly count to prevent Lp(a) from being deposited, or even will work to pull it loose and destroy atherosclerotic plaques." |
Dr. Pauling became convinced that this new understanding of cardiovascular disease would aid in the prevention of the disease and help doctors treat the condition, thereby, saving countless lives. In response to a question as to whether or not the new therapy of vitamin C and large amounts of the amino acid lysine could really reverse the atherosclerotic process?", Dr. Pauling replied:
| "I think so. Yes. Now I've got to the point where I think we can get almost complete control of cardiovascular disease, heart attacks and strokes by the proper use of vitamin C and Lysine. It can prevent cardiovascular disease and even cure it. If you are at risk of heart disease, or if there is a history of heart disease in your family, if your father or other members of the family died of a heart attack or stroke or whatever, or if you have a mild heart attack yourself then you had better be taking vitamin C and Lysine." (dosages ) |
When Pauling and Rath demonstrated laboratory evidence that clogged arteries can be opened in vivo, they were awarded the first two U. S. Patent(s) for reversing heart disease without surgery in 1993 and 1994. (The first patent, # 5230996, was awarded for the cleansing/removal of atherosclerotic plaque from human organs during transplant surgery. The invention is to dip plaque coated human organs in a vitamin C and lysine analog solution. The plaque apparently melts in solution.)
These patents are important because they establish the pioneering role of Pauling and Rath.
| Linus Pauling, PhD, and Matthias Rath, MD, are NOT listed in the references of vast majority of the 1100 Lp(a) medical research studies. IT IS AS IF THE RESEARCH DESCRIBED HERE NEVER OCCURRED. |
Currently, there are no drugs available for the Lp(a) problem.
| As simple and safe as the Pauling protocol is, don't overlook Pauling's earlier published nutritional recommendations (e.g., the anti-oxidant Vitamins E, Vitamin A, and good amounts of the various B vitamins. See How To Live Longer and Feel Better 1986), as well as the cardiovascular nutritional recommendations of Brian Liebovitz, PhD, editor of the Journal of Optimal Nutrition. Brian's recommendations include vitamin E, magnesium, carnitine and co-enzyme Q10. Dr. Hans A. Nieper's cardiovascular recommendations include bromelain and mineral orotates. |
However, there are "drug free" solutions based on vitamin C and llysine!
| A recent anecdotal report comes from an individual with a history of severe heart disease. He reports that his 55 mg/dl level of Lp(a) dropped to 11 mg/dl (80% reduction) in three weeks on a high dose vitamin C/lysine/ proline/carnitine/vitamin A/vitamin E product. He sent us a copy of his before and after Lp(a) blood assays. Medical doctors, such as Warren Levin, MD, of New York City, have noted similar blood changes in patients. Dr. Levin wrote to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) about this remarkable finding. His letter was not published. |
Why, then, is this life saving development being ignored by organized medicine??Possible Answer:
The Rath/Pauling treatment for occlusive heart disease is drug free! The basic therapeutic elements cannot be protected by patent, and the medical therapy would cost the average patient at most hundreds of dollars per year. The cost to the patient for a Coronary ByPass Graph (operation) runs $30,000 $50,000 (or more).
Incidentally, these operations, and Angioplasty, are dangerous procedures that are now obsolete. They were presumed life saving and they were never "proven effective" by clinical trial before coming into widespread use and the re occlusion rate is high! If it were not for the Internet it is doubtful that anyone would have heard about the "Pauling Lysine Cure" at least for a period of time.
Note:
| The Pauling/Rath paper on this monumental development was submitted to the Journal of the National Academy of Sciences. After being first accepted, it was then summarily rejected. |
Why hasn't this story been picked up by the mass media, especially health magazines such as Prevention?
Answer:
There are no good answers to this question. (Why not ask them?) One answer may be pharmaceutical company advertising...
More information on Pauling video tape, lipoprotein(a), and llysine including

My own interest in ascorbic acid centered around its role in vegetable respiration and defense mechanisms. All the same, I always had the feeling that not enough use was made of it for supporting human health. The reasons are rather complex. The medical profession itself took a very narrow and wrong view. Lack of ascorbic acid caused scurvy, so if there was no scurvy there was no lack of ascorbic acid. Nothing could be clearer than this. The only trouble was that scurvy is not a first symptom of lack but a final collapse, a premortal syndrome, and there is a very wide gap between scurvy and full health. But nobody knows what full health is!"
Irwin Stone from THE HEALING FACTOR: Vitamin C Against Disease
"We can surmise that the production of ascorbic acid was an early accomplishment of the life process because of its wide distribution in nearly all presentday living organisms. It is produced in comparatively large amounts in the simplest plants and the most complex; it is synthesized in the most primitive animal species as well as in the most highly organized. Except possibly for a few microorganisms, those species of animals that cannot make their own ascorbic acid are the exceptions and require it in their food if they are to survive. Without it, life cannot exist. Because of its nearly universal presence in both plants and animals we can also assume that its production was well organized before the time when evolving life forms diverged along separate plant and animal lines."
Dr. Emanuel Cheraskin, Dr. Ringsdorf and Dr. Sisley from THE VITAMIN C CONNECTION
"There are more than ten thousand published scientific papers that make it quite clear that there is not one body process (such as what goes on inside cells or tissues) and not one disease or syndrome (from the common cold to leprosy) that is not influenced directly or indirectly by vitamin C."
Yet there is an inexplicable void about vitamin C in typical "premed" textbooks. It is a fact that one Biochemistry text book (e.g. the one used at Illinois Benedictine) does not have a single entry in its index for vitamin c, ascorbate or ascorbic acid (the technical name for vitamin C)!?
This can be verified by examining the text BIOCHEMISTRY by Mary K. Campbell, Copyright 1991 by Saunders College Publishing, ISBN 0030522137
E. Cheraksin, M.D., D.M.D., in his recent book VITAMIN C: Who Needs IT? makes
a similar point on page 98:
We turned to five of the leading textbooks dealing with diabetes mellitus
published during the last five years. Would you believe? There was not one word
indicating any connection or a lack of correlation between ascorbic acid and
carbohydrate metabolism!
This is even more incomprehensible when one realizes that reviews of the
literature as far back as 1940 showed that blood sugar can be predictably
reduced with intravenous ascorbate.""So, what do the experts tell us about a vitamin C connection in the
control of sugar metabolism?
"It is interesting to note that surgery entered the modern world as a very disreputable procedure, little better in the eyes of medical orthodoxy than the herbalists or quacks with whom it competed for the same lower-class clientele. Surgeons could not write prescriptions, for example, without the countersignature of a physician, nor could they perform operations except in the presence of a licensed physician." Ralph Moss, THE CANCER INDUSTRY, Equinox Press, Brooklyn, NY.
We agree with Dr. Whitaker that the money involved has corrupted the heart
surgery industry. According to Dr. Julian Whitaker in his newsletter that
reportedly reaches over 500,000 people:
"A good example of this is angioplasty, in which a balloon on the
tip of a catheter is used to open blockages. In my opinion, there is never a
reason for anyone to have an angioplasty. It is a dangerous procedure looking
desperately for validation. Whenever it is compared to a non surgical
therapyand there have been very few of these studiespatients treated with
angioplasty virtually always fare worse. There is a higher death rate, higher
heart attack rate and, in general, a higher repeat surgery rate. This procedure
will, in my opinion, always be an unproven, expensive and dangerous gimmick that
became an accepted therapy based on selfserving "presumption" only. Bypass
surgery may be helpful for some patients, but it should not be used as the first
treatment, and clearly not in mild heart attack patients. Medication, dietary
and lifestyle changes, plus nutritional supplements are more effective
approaches" [J. Whitaker, MD]

people are part of, or caught up in, a large conspiracy to line the pockets of
organized medicine at the expense of the health and wellbeing of the general
public.
What ever the reason, this ignorance about vitamin C, and ongoing misinformation campaign leads to well over one million unnecessary deaths in the U. S. every year. |
| When you hear that this claim hasn't been proven in humans, you can retort with: THE THERAPY IS COMPLETELY SAFE, AGREES WITH ALL THE LATEST SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS ABOUT CHOLESTEROL AND LP(a), WAS DEVISED BY A GENIUS BASED UPON SOUND THEORY, AND NO ONE HAS MADE ANY ATTEMPT TO SHOW THAT IT DOESN'T WORK IN HUMANS! |

SUBSCRIBE: The Wednesday Letter is a free electronic monthly newsletter written and published by Karl Loren. You can view more than 50 back issues of this publication by clicking here. The Wednesday Letter subscription list is maintained on a secure server, no name is ever given or sold to anyone, and it is never used except for this Newsletter. It is automatically published on the Tuesday night just before the first Wednesday of every month. You can subscribe to this free monthly electronic letter by entering your eMail address and name below. You will then automatically receive a request for confirmation, sent to whatever address you have entered. If you do NOT receive this confirmation request, then you will not be subscribed. There may have been an error with your address and you should resubmit. The letter is never sent twice to the same address -- so you do not have to worry about a duplicate subscription. When you receive this confirmation request you must reply to it, or your subscription will not become active. No one can subscribe your name, and address, without you being notified, and if you get an unwanted notice of subscription you only need to DO NOTHING and the subscription will NOT be active.
REMOVAL: You can remove yourself from the subscription list in several different ways. Click here to read about this entire newsletter system. Every edition of The Wednesday Letter is delivered to your address with YOUR name and address in view on the letter, with a link that allows you to remove THAT name from the subscription list. If you try to send this removal message from an address different from the one you used to send in your original confirmation, then you will get a warning notice first, sent to the subscription address, asking you to confirm that you want to be removed from the list -- by replying to THAT request for confirmation, you will then be automatically removed. Thus, no one else can unsubscribe you, from some other computer, without your knowledge. But, if you send in the unsubscribe notice from the same machine used to receive the Letter, then the removal from the subscription list is automatic.
Personal Message: When you send a personal message to Karl Loren, you will receive a personal reply as per his instructions. Karl pledges that every personal message will get a personal answer. When you provide your mail address, we will send you free information including our free catalog and a cassette tape lecture by Karl Loren about heart disease, no charge, by mail, even if outside the US. You can select particular information you would like to receive, along with the free cassette tape and catalog.
