Vitamin C and the common cold by Linus Pauling.
Are folks aware that 97% of the vitamin C is now produced from China! It is like Aspirin, just another natural wonder supplement doing marvelous thing for our health. The author iproviding others a complete resources of informations. K.L.

Vitamin C is essential for good health
Vitamin C is so important for health that the vast majority of animals manufacture it daily in their bodies. This is why animals can live outdoors even in the winter without getting colds or most other illnesses. Being healthy is important to animals because if an animal gets sick it usually becomes eaten by a healthy animal. Only a few animals -- principally humanes, monkeys, and apes -- cannot manufacture vitamin C. The inability to manufacture vitamin C confines monkeys and apes to live in or near the tropics, where the weather is warm and edible fruits and vegetation is very rich in vitamin C and thus can supply their need for this essential nutrient. Outside the tropics they would get sick and die or be killed. When monkeys and apes are removed from the tropics to live in zoos or as pets, they are routinely fed a diet very rich in vitamin C in order to keep them healthy.

Humans also originated in the tropics and cannot manufacture vitamin C but -- unlike monkeys and apes -- most humans eventually migrated away from the vitamin C rich tropics and spread all over the world to places in which the food supply contains much less vitamin C than is needed to maintain our health. Thus, unlike other animals, we humans routinely get sick with colds and other illnesses which adequate vitamin C would protect us against. Only the invention and use of clothing, shelter, and weapons make it possible for humans to survive the illnesses caused by inadequate vitamin C which we routinely get. Humans are the only animals which routinely get sick and yet generally survive our illnesses. But why should we live with periodic bouts of illness? Why not protect ourselves by taking supplemental vitamin C? This is the argument presented in this outstanding book by the greatest chemist of the 20th century, Dr. Linus Pauling, the only person ever to have been awarded two unshared Nobel Prizes. Please acquire and read this valuable book. If you follow Dr. Pauling's advice and take supplemental vitamin C daily, you will become healthier, may never have another cold, and should be able to survive the global flu pandemic which is predicted to occur soon.

By the way, Pauling revised this book and retitled the revision Vitamin C, the Common Cold, and the Flu.

GREAT BOOK!!! Vitamin C and the Common Cold by Linus Pauling
THIS IS A FANTASTIC BOOK . . . . . . . . . EVERYBODY SHOULD READ IT.
Dr. Pauling discovered that Vitamin C affects every cell in our bodies and we need it DAILY.
Years ago, by reading this book at age 28, I discovered that Vitamin C'deficiency' was causing
the major joint problems I was having at the time [deficiency sometimes mimics rheumatism].
The information in this book helped correct my problems after only 3 days taking the Vitamin C
supplements recommended by Dr. Pauling!....I will always take Vitamin C. ... Read more

If only we had followed the advice of this book
This 1950's book explained in detail why it was important to not explode nuclear weapons above ground.It also proposed a national peace institute and recommended we spend as much on researching paths to peace as we do on war. It would certainly provide a better return on the money spent. In the 1980's we finally created the National Institute of Peace but today it still has only 70 employees.Pauling is the only person to receive two Nobel prizes by himself.He deserved others for promoting health through nutritional supplements (especially vitamin C), discovered a cure for heart disease that the U.S. gov still refuses to finance research into (6 g lysine and 6 g vitamin C spread over each day), and Watson and Crick said he is the co-discoverer of DNA.He has more honorary degrees and scientific publications than anyone else.He wrote the first book that connect quantum mechanics to chemistry and the first intro to chemistry book titled "Chemistry" which is still the most popular chemistry book.Watson said he read it 4 years before discovering DNA and said it's still the only chemistry he knows. ...

Februar 1901 in Portland, Oregon; † 19. August 1994 in Big Sur, Kalifornien) war ein US-amerikanischer Chemiker deutscher Abstammung. Er erhielt 1954 den Nobelpreis für Chemie für seine Forschungen über die Natur der chemischen Bindung und ihre Anwendung bei der Aufklärung der Struktur komplexer Substanzen. 1962 erhielt er den Friedensnobelpreis als besondere Auszeichnung für seinen Einsatz gegen Atomwaffentests und ist damit neben Marie Curie der bislang einzige Träger zweier unterschiedlicher Nobelpreise. Pauling wurde in Portland, Oregon geboren. Sein Vater, Hermann Heinrich Wilhelm Pauling, ein Apotheker, dessen Eltern aus Freiburg im Breisgau eingewandert waren, zog mit seiner Familie zwischen 1903 bis 1909 von einer Stadt in die andere und kehrte im letzten Jahr wieder mit ihr nach Portland zurück. Als der Vater 1910 an einem durchgebrochenen Magengeschwür starb, hinterließ er Linus' Mutter die Sorge um Linus und zwei jüngere Geschwister. Schon als Kind war Pauling ein unersättlicher Leser. Einmal schrieb sein Vater sogar einen Brief an eine örtliche Zeitung mit der Bitte um Vorschläge für weitere Bücher, mit denen man ihn beschäftigen könnte.

Zusammen mit Shinichirō Tomonaga und Julian Schwinger erhielt er 1965 den Nobelpreis für seine Arbeit zur Quantenelektrodynamik (QED). Seine anschauliche Darstellung quantenfeldtheoretischer elementarer Wechselwirkungen durch Feynman-Diagramme ist heute ein De-facto-Standard.

Extrait : Linus Carl Pauling, né le 28 février 1901 et mort le 19 août 1994, était un chimiste et physicien américain. Il fut l'un des premiers chimistes quantiques, et reçut le prix Nobel de chimie en 1954 pour ses travaux décrivant la nature de la liaison chimique. Il publie en 1939 un ouvrage majeur La Nature de la liaison chimique (The Nature of the Chemical Bond) dans lequel il développe le concept d'hybridation des orbitales atomiques. Ses travaux sur les substituts de plasma sanguin (avec Harvey Itano) durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, ainsi que ses recherches concernant l'anémie falciforme (ou drépanocytose qu'il qualifie du terme révolutionnaire de « maladie moléculaire ») ont grandement influencé la recherche en biologie pour la seconde moitié du siècle. Il découvrira notamment la structure de l'hélice alpha (motif d'enroulement secondaire des protéines) et manquera de peu la découverte de la structure en double hélice de l'acide désoxyribonucléique (ADN). Il proposera en effet une structure en hélice triple, structure dont l'amélioration d'après l'étude de l'ADN par radiocristallographie aurait vraisemblablement pu l'amener à l'élaboration du modèle en double hélice proposé par James Dewey Watson et Francis Crick en 1953. Il est l'un des fondateurs de la médecine orthomoléculaire et a popularisé l'utilisation de la vitamine C. Il reçut aussi le prix Nobel de la paix en 1962, pour sa campagne contre les essais nucléaires, devenant ainsi l'une des deux seules personnes à avoir reçu...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt: John Dewey (October 20, 1859 June 1, 1952) was an American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer whose ideas have been influential in education and social reform. Dewey, along with Charles Sanders Peirce and William James, is recognized as one of the founders of the philosophy of pragmatism and of functional psychology. He was a major representative of the progressive and progressive populist philosophies of schooling during the first half of the 20th century in the USA.
