Although Linus Pauling was known for highly respectable research in chemistry and biochemistry, he was also known for promoting the consumption of vitamin C in large doses. [25] Although he claimed and stood firm in his claim that consuming over 1,000 mg is helpful for one’s immune system when fighting a head cold, the results of empirical ...
Linus Carl Pauling was born on February 28, 1901, in Portland, Oregon, [13] [14] the firstborn child of Herman Henry William Pauling (1876–1910) and Lucy Isabelle "Belle" Darling (1881–1926). [ 15 ] : 22 He was named "Linus Carl", in honor of Lucy's father, Linus, and Herman's father, Carl.
McQueen claimed that his condition improved after following Kelley's protocol, but he died of a heart attack in 1980 after undergoing surgery in Mexico. [99] The singer-songwriter John Lennon, who was a friend and admirer of Pauling, also reportedly took large doses of vitamin C and advocated for its benefits. [100]
Vitamin C and the Common Cold is a popular book by Linus Pauling, first published in 1970, on vitamin C, its interactions with common cold and the role of vitamin C megadosage in human health. [1] The book promoted the idea that taking large amounts of vitamin C could reduce the duration and severity of the common cold. A Nobel Prize-winning ...
Nobel Prize winner and biochemist, Linus Pauling, was pivotal in the re-emergence of intravenous ascorbic acid research. Over the course of the 1970s, Pauling would begin a long-term collaboration with fellow physician, Ewan Cameron, on the medical potential of intravenous ascorbate acid as cancer therapy in terminally ill patients.
In the late 1960s, Linus Pauling introduced the expression "orthomolecular" [11] to express the idea of the right molecules in the right amounts. [11] Since the first claims of medical breakthroughs with vitamin C by Pauling and others, findings on the health effects of vitamin C have been controversial and contradictory.
The Linus Pauling Institute is a research institute located at the Oregon State University with a focus on health maintenance. The mission statement of the institute is to determine the functional roles of micronutrients and phytochemicals in promoting optimal health and to treat or prevent human disease, and to determine the role of oxidative stress and inflammation in health and disease.
One of Pauling's examples is olivine, M 2 SiO 4, where M is a mixture of Mg 2+ at some sites and Fe 2+ at others. The structure contains distinct SiO 4 tetrahedra which do not share any oxygens (at corners, edges or faces) with each other. The lower-valence Mg 2+ and Fe 2+ cations are surrounded by polyhedra which do share oxygens.
