The Suppression of the Real Nature, Cause and Outright Cure for Heart
Disease

The leading killer in the United States, the condition that those in
medicine call heart disease, or occlusive cardiovascular disease, is really
a low-grade form of scurvy. This fact is becoming increasingly more
difficult for modern medicine to deny.
Chronic scurvy: Heart disease is a misnomer. The disease is characterized by
scab-like build-ups that slowly grow on the walls of blood vessels. The
underlying disease process reduces the supply of blood to the heart and
other organs resulting in angina ("heart cramp"), heart attack and stroke.
The correct terminology for this disease process is chronic scurvy, a
sub-clinical form of the classic vitamin C deficiency disease.
The true nature of the disease was identified in the early 1950s by a
Canadian team led by G. C. Willis, MD. This finding was confirmed in the
late 1980s, by the world's then leading scientist, Linus Pauling, Ph.D.
Pauling alerted the world in lectures, in writing and on video after he and
his associates conducted experiments that confirmed the Willis findings. To
date, this alert has never made its way into a mainstream media outlet.
Moreover, cardiologists are taught, and routinely tell their patients, that
there is no connection between vitamin C and heart disease, and also that
there is no value in vitamin C in amounts much higher than the minuscule
RDA.
From a scientific standpoint, if a medical doctor, or anyone, tries tochallenge the true nature of cardiovascular disease, they must be able to
cite experiments that refute the Pauling/Willis chronic scurvy hypothesis.
Such experiments have never been published.
Its been twelve years since Pauling issued the alert. Pharmacology
professors Steven Hickey and Hilary Roberts in their recent book ASCORBATE:
The Science of Vitamin C (2004) document, incredibly, that there have been
no independent experiments published that were designed to test the Pauling
hypothesis (except one at much lower doses that was conducted by Pauling?s
close associate Dr. Matthias Rath.)
We are aware of only one clinical study in humans that has been carefully
designed to test the Pauling high-dose hypothesis. The study was performed
in the UK, with 200 men, over a period of three years, and the data
confirmed Pauling?s theory and therapy. Yet, so far, Dr. Kale Kenton?s study
has not appeared in a medical journal.
Will the giant pharmaceutical industry facing these facts survive or will it
collapse in 2005? The end of the suppression of vitamin C will reveal the
CODEX restrictions for what they really are, a means to prop up an industry
that has little reason to exist in its present form. The public is beginning
to realize that the world?s most profitable industry is really a house of
cards. Its most profitable products are at best useless, at worst dangerous.
Prescription drugs beget more drugs. The secret that dooms Big Pharma is
that the best of health is achieved by taking high doses of vitamin C and
avoiding toxic prescription medications as if your life depended on it.
History of the Great Suppression
The 700,000 people who die needlessly every year are those who heed their
cardiologists advice. The American Heart Association estimates that 63
million Americans suffer cardiovascular disease. More than one million
undergo some form of heart operation, and over 15 million are taking statin
cholesterol lowering drugs on the advice of their doctor. These popular
statin drugs are known to deplete CoQ10 and probably cause heart failure.
The pioneering research into the relationship between vitamin C and heart
disease began in the late 1940s, not long after the structure of vitamin C
was determined. Canadians doctors proved that a vitamin C 'deficiency'
causes the condition, commonly called atherosclerosis. These doctors found
that the condition will arise in 100 per cent of vitamin C-deprived animal
test subjects that don't make their own vitamin C. Furthermore, these
Canadian pioneers demonstrated that vitamin C alone reverses atherosclerosis
in laboratory animals. [THE REVERSIBILITY OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS, G. C. Willis,
Canad. M. A. J., July 15, 1957, Vol 77., Pg 106-109 ]
The team performed similar studies in humans. The results, while not
conclusive, showed reversals of atherosclerotic plaques in one third of the
human subjects. Notably, these studies were of low doses, no more than 1500
mg per day. [SERIAL ARTERIOGRAPHY IN ATHEROSCLEROSIS, G. C. Willis, A. W.
Light, W.S. Cow, Canad. M. A. J. Dec 1954, Vol 71, 1954, p. 562-568 ]
The knowledge that heart disease is a form of scurvy has been suppressed
from the time that the first series of Willis articles were published in the
Canadian Medical Journal in the early 1950s. Inexplicably, since the 1950s,
no articles favorable to vitamin C and its connection with atherosclerosis
have appeared in a reputable medical journal that is widely read by medical
doctors.
Cardiologists to-be are taught that there is no relation between vitamin C
intake and heart disease, and that it is quackery to suggest otherwise.
These assertions seem justified because reports of such studies are lacking.
But, as vitamin C expert and pharmacological professor Steve Hickey points
out, every cardiologist could have performed these studies on his/her own.
"Time has moved on and the medical profession has FAILED over the past 50
years to produce the required experiments. The budget of say the NIH alone
is over 27 billion but over the past 50 years no one has replicated the
early vitamin C and heart disease research, which could be done by almost
any cardiologist from petty cash.
Since Pauling, and others, have promoted ascorbate as a cure for heart
disease, it seems silly that a potential cure for the worst killer in the
developed nations (atherosclerosis) has not been refuted. To a scientist
from any other discipline this lack of interest would be bizarre.
Its a fact that the experiments have been done in animals and the results
show that ascorbate protects against atherosclerosis and may reverse it.
There is some additional evidence from human studies that is consistent with
this interpretation. So why have the human studies not been performed? Or we
may ask if they have been performed, was the data withheld? The enemies of
Pauling, as well as the drug companies, would love to see the Pauling
hypothesis discredited. Why have the experiments not been reported? -- Dr.
