Linus PaulingScientist for the Ages
You cant copyright a title so I stole the title for this article. This winter I have avoided colds and sore throats and such by taking a bunch of vitamin C. I learned this from Dr. Linus Pauling.
Now that we are in the second paragraph, I can give you the URL for the title I stole. It is http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/lpbio/lpbio2.html. If you dont do anything else today, read that article. You will learn about his two Nobel Prizes and the extent of his scientific research and humanitarian services.
Dr. Pauling was a teacher. I had a chance to hear him lecture on the nature of the chemical bond when I was a sophomore in college. He was fun to listen to, as clear as a bell, and he had a great sense of humor. I went up and chatted with him with a bunch of chemistry students who attended the lecture. What a thrill to meet this great scientist.
In college we used Dr. Paulings text book. We felt we knew him before he came to the University of Utah campus. He was fired by Caltech, where he spent a great deal of his career, because of his antiwar activities. Caltech lost their most eminent professor who was quickly grabbed up by the University of California at Berkeley and later by Stanford University. For the activities for which he was fired he received the Nobel Peace Prize.
The range of Dr. Paulings research was broad as you will see when you read the article. My interest, as I mentioned, is to avoid suffering from colds and sore throats all winter, something my grandkids and their parents here in Idaho can not avoid. I take lots of vitamin C on the first onset of a cold. Im not allergic to the vitamin and it does not give me the trots like it does some people.
At the first sign of a cold I take 3000 mgs in the form of six 500-mg pills. I take this with my orange juice. Later in the day, I take another dose of the same size. That makes 6000 mgs which is below the 10,000 mg limit.
I usually don't have to take anymore after this initial treatment. However, Dr. Pauling showed that Vitamin "C" taken with lysine helps prevent arteriosclerosis of which I have a major case. So I do take some everyday unless I forget. Forgetting is called OMS (Old Man's Syndrome).
Dr. Pauling wrote a book on this procedure so you may want to read his book by getting a copy at http://tinyurl.com/kpuja where you will find a listing of all of his books. Just look for the one on Vitamin C which is entitled Vitamin C and the Common Cold.
Taking my own advice I ordered three of his books in good but used condition. I bought the Vitamin C book, one on living longer, and one on quantum mechanics.
The reason I bought the book on longevity is because Dr. Linus Pauling was still running around airports at age ninty-three.
