Book Review: C for yourself !
Summary: 5 Stars

His 1985 book showed on p214,how he was reaching his 'earth-shaking' discovery that lack of ascorbate triggering damage in the coronary arteries (now known to be due to subclinical scurvy) is the precursor of atheroma, a discovery and patented cure he later shared with cardiologist Mathias Rath M.D

He only lacked knowledge of the later to be discovered 'nanobacter' to lay the myth of kidney stones to rest. These tiny bacteria colonising the kidney and ureter with a mineral like outer coat are now believed to be the nuclei of stones. As soon as the organism was discovered it was immediately obvious that the reason why even the highest ascorbate megadosers do not form stones must be because the urogenital system is disinfected by ascorbate. Truly the 'most most expensive urine in the block' as physicians have carpingly joked, has its advantages. Long before this discovery, vets when I asked them, confirmed that even the most concentrated urine of ascorbate producing animals, e.g., dogs, is not associated with oxalate kidney stones whilst occasionally having other unrelated types. Any physician might have ascertained this instead of blindly repeating misleading and dangerous advice for 60 years.

Briefly mentioning Prof Denham Harman M.D., Ph.D. (Nebraska) - Father of the Free Radical Theory of Ageing and Disease, Nov 1954 - in his book, Linus recognised probably the greatest physician of this century whose novel antioxidant vitamin A, C & E approach has now become standard philosophy world wide. Whilst this undoubtedly prevents much heart disease amongst over 85 free radical related diseases, it (and he) are still, and unbelievably absurdly, unrecognised by 'Official Medicine' for a Nobel Prize which glaringly now brings into question the judgement (or just plain envy and financial self protectionism?) of some members of that profession.

Linus recognised greatness however and later invited Harman to his 90th Birthday party in San Francisco. Together with Pasteur (who like Pauling and Harman started as brilliant chemists) these men have made the greatest contributions to medicine of all time. Robert Cathcart M.D., Fred Klenner M.D., Ph.D., and Claus Jungeblut M.D., all given their just due with over 400 other workers, round off a truly excellent and easily readable yet technical book that cannot possibly be adequately described with its 450 references, in the space of this small review. It is an outstanding contribution to health from a truly outstanding man sadly missed and will inspire many to take charge of their own health.
