This is my story about the article that describes what i am taking and doing now to stop chest pain and to stop what would be my fifth and possibly my final heart attack. i have already had five heart operations including a quad bypass and various stent operations, none radioactive thank goodness.
although i was doing everything expected of me i.e. following the Ornish plan which in my case involved being a strict vegetarian (vegan) for five years. (i did all this immediately after my first heart attack and quad bypass in 1995.) i was 41 years old in 1995. i continued to get worse.
i suffered three more heart attacks and four more heart operations, the last heart attack (my fourth) and another heart operation ( my fifth) in DEC. of 2003. at that time my Dr's recommended the possibility of a pacemaker/defibrillator be installed. they did not know what was killing me, but said they would be able to 'take care of me' with more operations! i declined to have an 'operation/test' that would result in maybe having a pacemaker installed. that was Dec. 2003.
last October of 2005 i did intensive research (on the Internet) to discover what i could do to stay alive. i was having more chest pain and i realized i was over due for another heart attack and operation (based on my previous ten years experience).
i discovered, or rediscovered what Linus Pauling had to say about heart disease. the 'powers that be' did a good job of influencing me to ignore Linus Pauling, describing him as a failing old man with a 'mental' problem who had once been a great scientist. they said he was wrong about vitamin c. i believed them.
i recently read all of Linus Pauling's books. i was very impressed and i finally understood my situation. this led me to search for more info on Rath, etc. i now consider Linus Pauling to be the greatest most significant scientist of this era. he really devoted a big chunk of his life and made the best effort to get the word out about ascorbic acid. fortunately for mankind he is not alone. Pauling was proceeded by great men and women in the study of vitamin c and that work continues with great men and women today.
the real issue now is how to get the word out about ascorbic acid. in my opinion Owen Fonorow may be making the greatest effort for this positive change with his website (along with other folks and the folks that post there). i point friends to his site often. is it our site?
the following article describes what i am currently doing in terms of vitamin intake, etc. thanks again Owen for a great article. i did slowly stop my statins and blood pressure meds etc. back around Nov. 2005. i started ten grams of c every day spaced out five times during the day about that same time. i felt so much better after a few weeks that i continued my research and the use of c and now follow this in full:

i have not felt this good in over twelve years!
i would also like to say that i have read some Atkins. he is one of the few doctors that recommends vitamin c and makes good reference to Linus Pauling. i was getting to be on the heavy side and decided to lose about thirty pounds to get to a weight that makes me feel and look even better. i have already lost thirteen lbs in one month. i don't feel hungry, ever, and i feel better by eating this way. I'm glad i did the vitamin c protocol before i did Atkins. i can say i definitely had my chest pain completely disappear with the vitamins as well as my thoughts of having another heart attack and heart operation. i will continue with c, etc.
one last word.
the effort to prevent the knowledge about ascorbic acid (vitamin c) getting out to the mass of humankind is in my opinion the greatest tyranny of all time. for that reason i would like to share one web site that deals with fighting tyranny of all kinds. ironically like my rediscovery of Linus Pauling, i needed to rediscover the greatest social technology ever created to oppose all types of tyranny. here is that website:

in closing i wish everyone life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,
