But what most people do not know about this great man is that he relentlessly fought with the Medical establishment for Vitamin C. Yes Vitamin C will sound very silly and simple for you. But let me quote you Dr. Klenner here, who by the way cured numerous polio, Multiple Sclerosis, SLE, Hepatitis and other chronic "untreatable" diseases with the help of Vitamins and Supplements, most importantly Vitamin C- " Some Doctors would standby and watch their patients die rather than use Vitamin C, because in their finite minds, it exists only as a Vitamin." This will give you an idea about Vitamin C. You can search the web and find numerous articles and videos about Linus Paulings crusade against his critiques- the Big Pharma and their paid people. But today here I will share a few of his treatment plan proposals for various diseases. Remember these are just a few of his proposals/recommendations.

Linus Pauling Therapy:
Most of the Cardiac drugs compensate for the low Vitamin C intake of majority of people on earth. There are some drugs which actually exacerbate Heart problems.
Linus Pauling recommended Vitamin C and Aminoacid Lysine at the dosage of 5000 to 6000 mg each in his "Unified Theory" Lecture.

1. Vitamin C 6000 to 18000 mg (major portion as Ascorbic acid and minor portion as Sodium ascorbate) starting with low dose and gradually increasing the dose for better bowel tolerance. Vitamin C is known to cause gastrointestinal upset and diarrhea in some people. Slow building up will eliminate this side effect. But most of the people tolerate high dose oral Vitamin C quite well.

2. 2000 to 6000 mg of Lysine daily.
Pauling recommended 5000 to 6000mg of Lysine for CVS diseases and 2000 mg for prevention. From his 1993 Unified Theory Lecture- Pauling recounts himself advising a well known Biochemist, a National Medal of Science recipient in US to take 5 gms of Lysine alongwith 6 gms of Vit C for his anginal heart attacks. The person started with 1 gram and gradually reached 5 gms a day and told Linus Pauling that it worked like a miracle and that he was able to reduce his heart medications by half and he could walk 2 miles without any symptoms and even chop down trees and wood without having any kind of heart related symptoms.

3. In his 1986 book "How to live Longer and Feel Better", Pauling advised in addition to 6 to 18gms of Vitamin C and Lysine-
Vitamin E 800 IU to 3200 IU
Vitamin A 20,000 to 40,000 IU
Super B Complex one or two per day
Daily multivitamin supplement
Eat less sugar
Drink plenty of water.
Today, high dose Vitamin C is used in cancer treatment regimens in many cancer institutes in Germany, Mexico, Spain and even in US. When Pauling was alive, he was ridiculed and made fun of by many people.

Linus Carl Pauling was the one who coined the term "Orthomolecular" which means the 'right molecules.' Orthomolecular Medicine is developing into a branch in itself in past few years. It is sad that we dont get to know people like Dr. Pauling. Doctors dont know him, general population dont know him. Even kids who learn 'general knowledge' at schools dont get to know names such as Dr. Pauling.
