Nobel Prize Laureate Linus Pauling & His Vitamin C Research

Despite the hospital knows exactly when a cancer patient will die, it still doesn't allow of large doses of vitamin C which was proven by Nobel Prize Laureate, Linus Pauling, who won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry, another the Peace Prize, He is the only person awarded two unshared Nobel Prizes, he is one of only four individuals to have won more than one Nobel Prize (the others being Marie Curie, John Bardeen, and Frederick Sanger).

Linus Carl Pauling (February 28, 1901 – August 19, 1994) was an American chemist, biochemist, peace activist, author, and educator. He published more than 1200 papers and books, of which about 850 dealt with scientific topics. New Scientist called him one of the 20 greatest scientists of all time, and as of 2000, he was rated the 16th most important scientist in history.

Pauling was one of the founders of the fields of quantum chemistry and molecular biology.

In his later years he promoted orthomolecular medicine, megavitamin therapy, dietary supplements, nuclear disarmament, and taking large doses of vitamin C, none of which have gained acceptance in the mainstream scientific community.

He was first introduced to the concept of high-dose vitamin C by biochemist Irwin Stone in 1966. After becoming convinced of its worth, Pauling took 3 grams of vitamin C every day to prevent colds. Excited by his own perceived results, he researched the clinical literature and published Vitamin C and the Common Cold in 1970. He began a long clinical collaboration with the British cancer surgeon Ewan Cameron in 1971 on the use of intravenous and oral vitamin C as cancer therapy for terminal patients. Cameron and Pauling wrote many technical papers and a popular book, Cancer and Vitamin C, that discussed their observations. Pauling made vitamin C popular with the public and eventually published two studies of a group of 100 terminal patients that claimed vitamin C increased survival by as much as four times compared to untreated patients.
