This book by the co-founder of the Vitamin C Foundation covers the greater than 50-year history of the vitamin C theory of heart disease as well as the 12-year history of a therapy for cardiovascular disease invented by the American scientist, Linus Pauling. Heart patients who decided to follow Linus Pauling's advice recovered in approximately 30 days, and many experienced significant relief in as little as 10 days. The recoveries only occurred after these former patients adopted the Pauling-therapy®, usually without their doctor's knowledge or consent.
This book is about Linus Pauling’s very old theory of using daily megadoses of ascorbic acid and lysine (an amino acid) as a preventative (or therapeutic!) therapy for cardiovascular disease. I know many people, including many doctors, will scoff at the very idea of such a simple solution that has never been embraced—and that has possibly even been suppressed—by today’s profit-oriented medical establishment , but I believe this book has made a huge difference in my life, and I think I have ordered at least a dozen copies over the past few years for family and friends.
I am a Linus Pauling fan. Mr. Fonorow helps us to understand the LP theory and how to implement it.
As anyone who suffers cardiovascular disease, you should give this book a careful and thorough read. The language is not particularly difficult and with a little help (Internet), you should come away understanding a fair bit.
Of course this material is readily available on the Internet, but having a book consolidates the information in one easy text.
The most important book I've ever read. Linus Pauling, a true blessing to the human race, won two Nobel prizes. By following the book's advice, my heart issues and high blood pressure disappeared. The concepts presented in this book -- that heart disease is a result of inadequate vitamin C -- are not in alignment with the profit-minded allopathic medical industry but are in alignment with good health!
