Dr. Linus Pauling
and his work in Molecular Biology
________________________________________________________________
The Genius of Dr. Linus Pauling
The
world's only 2 time unshared Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling,
stated "You can trace every sickness, every disease and every ailment
to a mineral deficiency." Dr. Linus Pauling practiced this
personally and lived to the age of 93 (Feb 28, 1901 - Aug 19, 1994). He
was awarded a Nobel in Chemistry for his work on the nature
of chemical bonds, and the Nobel Peace Prize for his work
against nuclear testing. Linus Pauling was considered to
be the father of molecular biology, implementing the science of Quantum
Mechanics with that of biology. Genius quite often operates outside the
popular ingrained beliefs of society, and is often
not recognized as being genius until many years, decades, or even
centuries later. "It takes one to know one." Linus Pauling talked of
nutrients (especially
vitamin C, niacin and lysine) being used in high dosages as being the
prevention and cure for many
mental and physical
disorders/diseases (heart disease, schizophrenia), but much of the
scientific & medical community in
those days were not able to step outside their chemical pharmaceutical
beliefs. Even now, over 40 years later, this information is still
largely rejected. It is however slowly gaining acceptance.
The abundance of health foods stores, and the massive growth
in sales of organic foods displays this quite clearly. People
are finally becoming aware that there is a reason degenerative disease
rates are continuously rising, and that it's largely due to
malnutrition.
Ortho-Molecular
"Ortho"
means "correct" or "right" and a "molecule" is "the smallest particle
of a substance that retains all the properties of the substance and is
composed of one or more atoms". So "orthomolecular" means "correct
molecule", and the correct molecules that are being referred to are
nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants,
enzymes, essential fatty
acids, etc.
Orthomolecular Medicine
Orthomolecular
medicine is the practice of preventing and treating disease by
providing the body with optimal amounts of substances which are natural
to the body, quite often in megadoses exceeding the "normal"
recommended
daily dosage. The purpose is to restore the optimum environment of the
body by correcting imbalances and/or deficiencies.
Organic Materials
It's
important to stress that this is not referring to the use of the
artificial
inorganic chemically produced vitamins that are so popular in stores
nowadays. This refers to natural organic supplements
"normally found in the
body". Organic matter is something that has been derived from living
things, and contains carbon, or is carbon-bond.
Orthomolecular Psychiatry
Orthomolecular
psychiatry is simply the use of "the right molecules in the right
amounts" to help prevent and treat mental and emotional disorders such
as ADHD, alcoholism, Alzheimer's Disease, anxiety, autism, bipolar
disorder, depression, drug addiction, hyperactivity, retardation,
schizophrenia, and senility. This provides the optimal
molecular environment for the mind.
Bodily Needs
Nutrients,
vitamins,
minerals,
amino acids, essential fatty acids, enzymes, co-enzymes, antioxidants,
phytochemicals, etc. are absolutely required in order
for the body to function properly. Minerals are largely obtained from
the foods we eat, and the mineral content of our foods depends upon the
mineral content of the soil that it's grown in. So if our soils are
depleted of minerals from the use of chemicals, so are
our foods, and so are our bodies in turn. If our processed machine-made
food is inorganic, that doesn't supply the body with what it needs
either. If the body doesn't
receive all of the proper raw materials that it needs, health problems
and degenerative diseases are sure to follow. Many of the "foods" we
buy in the grocery store today are severely lacking in nutrients and/or
they contain harmful contaminants.
A natural organic body requires
natural organic things.
"Let food be your medicine, let
medicine be your food." - Hippocrates
