"I recommend that every person who is at risk of heart disease should take 5 or 6 g of vitamin C and at least 2 g of lysine, although larger amounts may be necessary." - Linus Pauling
Who was Linus Pauling?
"...one of the 2 greatest scientists of the 20th century"
For adults, the recommended dietary reference intake for vitamin C is 65 to 90 milligrams (mg) a day. Six grams is a big factor!!!!
The purpose of the post is for people to read the research contained in the links and draw their own conclusions.
Mega-doses of vitamin C DO NOT have the same potential side-effects as most doctor-prescribed pharmaceutical grade drugs. At a certain dosage, which is different for everyone, it may cause diarrhea. Therefore, if a person decides to follow Linus Pauling's therapy and experiences any side-effects, they can reduce dosage or stop altogether.
I am no doctor, but there are many medical people in my family! We do discuss many health problems over dinner.
If people do read pots and make their own judgements so be it.
Most people are looking for simple answers not deep research answers.

How do you know what most people want?
No one in this world knows what other people want!, sadly on operations manual at the time of birth, have to depend on medical people for guidance.
In UK, we have NHS and excellent staff who guide a child from birth from the guide lines given to them and it is all free until the child reach a certain age after that have to pay for medication. UK, NHS also has health tourists!.
I am in this site to learn about cholesterol only.
Recent research has shown that the rda for vitamin c was measured incorrectly as it has a relatively short half life.
