As a guy who formerly believed the medical corporation had my back, it sure is scary learning that what I was taught/believed is wrong. Having to re-learn everything at my age(65) is quiet the endeavor. (Joseph 2024)
In the beginning, we didn't know if Pauling's invention adding the amino acid L-lysine to vitamin C really worked. Like Pauling, we were amazed that the first three individuals with heart disease who Pauling reported reversed their heart conditions so quickly. He advised and they tried 5 or 6 grams of lysine, advice we now know was based on a Nobel prize in medicine and the discovery of the so-called lysine binding sites on a variant of LDL cholesterol called Lp(a). As time went on - after we started giving the same advice - without failures or side effects - our confidence grew.
And how could we know that a discovery of such importance, as measured by the number of lives lost, and the massive medical cost to society, and made by such a prominent American scientist would or even could be ignored by the mainstream media and medical profession. A blackout so complete that not a single study has been published to test Pauling's therapy with heart patients.
Early on, while sharing what Pauling himself had said and written, we did not advise patients to go against the advise of their doctors. Until a family member died on the operating table after a cardiac procedure. A piece of plaque broke away during the procedure and lodged in the family member's brain. He died. From that point on, we realized that heart patients would not be any worse off taking vitamin C and ignoring the advice of their cardiologists. Our experience had and keeps showing that there are no side effects from even very high dose vitamin C and lysine. All the side effects come approximately six months after feeling "cured" and stopping the Pauling protocol
Pauling's heart -therapy at the correct therapeutic dosage of at least 5 grams of vitamin C and 5 grams of lysine works miraculously 100% of the time. I know some clinicians who routinely presribed Pauling's therapy say it is 98% effective, but Owen Fonorow is unaware of any outright failures in people willing to go against their doctor's advice at the correct dosage. And there may be an issue with the vitamin C some people have used. There are no issues with the major Pauling-therapy products on the market.
Contrast this success with vitamin C and cancer. Vitamin C at high, sustained doses can have a major effect shrinking cancers and putting cancer in remission. However, the success rate isn't 100% like Pauling's therapy is for heart disease.
