that the RDA, or Recommended Daily Allowance, was in fact the lowest amount needed to prevent obvious symptoms. For example, even a tiny amount of lime juice protected sailors from scurvy.The gross error in medical thinking, however, is that all anyone needs is that tiny amount. Once you understand the concept of optimum nutrition it's obvious why the much touted RDA's have done nothiDr Rath continues Pauling's legacy...
Vitamins And Disease Prevention
For many years I have "believed in" vitamins and taken them daily, including vitamin C. But rarely more than 1 or 2 grams. I had become soused to feeling good that I failed to realise how important my vitamins were in maintaining my state of wellness.
Also, I had no practical appreciation of the concept of "optimum nutrition". I knew ng at all to prevent the epidemic of cardiovascular disease. Or any other disease for that matter.
By amazing coincidence, the day prior to my heart attack I had completely run out of vitamin C and therefore didn't take any at all.
If you have not yet read Pauling's How To Live Longer And Feel Better, then you may not appreciate the importance of this information. Amazingly this Vitamin C prevention and cure for cardiovascular disease was known about in the eighties - even in the thirties - while "modern medicine" continues to ignore it.
Nutritional Illiteracy?
For example, I just came across this latest idiocy -
Multivitamin supplements have “little or no influence” on a woman’s risk of cardiovascular disease or cancer, according to results of the Women’s Health Initiative.
By Stephen Daniells, 10-Feb-2009
A study with 161,808 postmenopausal women aged between 50 and 79, reportedly the largest study ever conducted on this demographic group, found that multivitamins had no effect on the risks related to cardiovascular disease, and a range of cancers.
The study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, concludes that, while nutrition should remain a principle focus for the prevention of chronic diseases, it is unlikely that multivitamin supplements have a role to play.
“What this paper shows is that multivitamin use just doesn’t seem to make that much of a difference in this population,” said co-author Sylvia Wassertheil-Smoller from Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University. “It confers no additional benefit but it also does no harm.”
Okay, we're looking at nutritional illiteracy. How else to explain the above "study"? In the Sixties Linus Pauling preached that It takes megadoses of specific vitamins to obtain the desired effect. I take 18 grams of Vitamin C daily plus 4 grams of L-lysine to keep my arteries clear. The fact that I never catch colds is a bonus I take for granted.
Since recovering so easily from my heart attack (thanks to Linus Pauling) I view people connected in any way with such "studies" as morons. Well, what is the opposite of genius? Only a moron could expect a couple of "multivitamins" to do what 18 grams of C does!
Mankind should be grateful to people like Dr Rath. He is far more caring - and effective - than I could ever hope to be. I can't even get my own father off his heart medications.
Dr Rath Fights Nutritional Illiteracy
Dr. Rath is a renowned scientist who has made some of the most fundamental scientific discoveries towards the natural control of cardiovascular disease and cancer. He was also a longtime colleague and friend of the late Noble Laureate, Dr. Linus Pauling.
Before his death in 1994, Dr. Pauling predicted that Dr. Rath's discoveries will threaten the survival of entire industries - namely, the multi-billion dollar investment business with disease - and will trigger the fiercest reactions from them.
Over the past 15 years, this prediction has become reality. Leading the global effort to end health illiteracy, Dr. Rath and his team of researchers have become the focus of attacks from the interests described at one of his websites.
