Linus Pauling Might Have Had it Right About Vitamin C
While lauding his two unshared Nobel prizes for chemistry and peace, many medical practitioners and nutritional scientists said Pauling should stick to chemistry and leave pharmacology to the experts. Despite a personal diet of 12,000 mg of Vitamin C daily, critics point to Pauling’s onset of prostate cancer and subsequent death as proof of the ineffective nature of “C.” However, before his death — at the age of 93 — Pauling said his daily regimen successfully delayed the cancer for two decades.
In the 21 years since his death, research into the properties of Vitamin C suggest Pauling was onto something big. At UCLA, for example, researchers claim many degenerative diseases involve oxidation; and they point to Vitamin C is a strong antioxidant. Another study at UCLA showed that men with heart disease lived six years longer on a regimen of 800 mg of Vitamin C a day.
And yet another study involving more than 11,000 senior citizens found that those taking increased levels of vitamins C and E improved their mortality rate by more than 40 percent.
Dr. Joseph M. Mercola, who founded Mercola.com in 1997 — among the world’s top natural health resource sites — recently published a blog entry on his site outlining the history of Linus Pauling and his crusade for Vitamin C. The post also includes an 18-minute video of Pauling’s life — including interviews with critics. Mercola then presents his contention that Vitamin C is a valuable tool in the treatment of disease.
