No Prescription Required
It would be a miracle if the cure for heart disease already exists. It would be even more miraculous if the therapy that leads to the cure works quickly (even in advanced disease), is completely nontoxic, is very inexpensive, and if it is available at any drug store without a prescription!
It’s almost miraculous…”
Linus Pauling (Unified Theory Video)
30 Years Ignored: Linus Pauling’s Greatest Discovery
“I think we can get almost complete control of cardiovascular disease, heart attacks and strokes by the proper use of this therapy … even cure it.“
Linus Pauling (The Last Interview)
We agree with Linus Pauling that it is indeed a miracle that two harmless nutrients taken together treat and cure heart disease. Both substances are essential foods, meaning they are both required for life (in smaller amounts). They are extremely safe in high amounts; neither has a known lethal toxic dosage.
THE PAULING THERAPY
Linus Pauling’s specific therapy for cardiovascular and heart diseases are high dosages of two essential nutrients: Vitamin C and the amino acid l-lysine.
“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 (1992 Unified Theory Video)
Pauling heart-therapy Testimonials abound and provide a mountain of convincing information that the dosages Pauling recommended are indeed miraculous and safe. Yet medicine, to its great financial advantage, continues ignoring the underlying science and growing anecdotal evidence.
As far as modern medicine is concerned, the material presented here doesn’t exist.
Heart patients should be concerned with the correct dosage: Exactly how much must be taken and for how long to resolve their chronic scurvy, i.e., their chronic vitamin C deficiency (also known as cardiovascular disease or CVD). Linus Pauling invented the therapy circa 1989 and was surprised how well it worked. Linus passed in 1994.
Today, after 30 years of “practicing medicine without a license,” Owen Fonorow is the one person with the most knowledge about the therapy. We recommend visiting Owen’s Pauling-therapy web portal HEARTCURE.INFO for links to the latest information about what we think we now know.
I just want to say thank you, Mr Fonorow. Pauling’s formula saved my life, all my arteries were clogged the doctors didn’t know how I was still alive. To make a long story short I’ve never been healthier, with total blood flow. God bless you and Dr. Pauling he was more than a genius. — Donald S. (Feb 2016)

Methods of Action
“Knowing that lysyl residues are what causes Lp(a) to stick to the wall of the artery and form atherosclerotic plaques, any physical chemist would say at once that to prevent that put the amino acid lysine in the blood to a greater extent than it is normally.”
Linus Pauling (Unified Theory of Cardiovascular Disease video, 1992)
Formula
Vitamin C is required to strengthen arteries by creating collagen so that the body does not try to patch arteries with “plaster casts” (atherosclerosis).
L-lysine is an Lp(a) binding inhibitor. Lp(a) is the sticky form of LDL cholesterol that Pauling/Rath identified as the primary risk factor. L-lysine at sufficient dosage reverse the plaster cast-like arterial build-up (i.e. atherosclerotic plaques).
Elegance of Real Science
Briefly, researchers discovered cholesterol lysine-binding-sites that lead to heart disease. Medical doctors have heard about the “lysine binding sites”, but they aren’t told that these receptors are ONLY found on one form of cholesterol; a sticky form of LDL cholesterol called Lp(a). Lipoprotein “small a.”
This discovery was verified in human beings in 1989. A German team led by Beisiegel discovered that only Lp(a) was inside the clogged aortas of those who had died of heart disease. They did not find any ordinary LDL (bad) cholesterol [8] in these arteries clogged near the heart.
Matthias Rath, then a medical student, was on the team. He made the probable connection between Lp(a) and vitamin C and brought this news to the attention of Linus Pauling.
Eureka!
Upon hearing of the Beisiegel discovery, the chemist Linus Pauling invented the heart disease therapy presented here.
Rationale: If Lp(a) causes heart disease, and if Lp(a) attaches to the artery at the lysine binding sites, then the solution is apparent: Give Lp(a) in the blood something else to attach to.
Linus Pauling (Unified Theory Video)
Linus Pauling’s brilliant invention (and now therapy named in his honor) increases the blood concentration of both vitamin C and of lysine to neutralize the Lp(a).
“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 (Unified Theory Video)
Lp(a) and the Lysine Binding Sites
“Many investigators contributed to demonstrating that it is lipoprotein(a) that is deposited in plaques, not merely LDL, but lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a) for short. If you have more than 20 mg/dl in the blood it begins to deposit plaques and causes atherosclerosis.
“The question then is: What causes Lp(a) to stick to the wall of the artery and form these plaques?
“Countless biochemists and chemists discovered what in the wall of the artery causes Lp(a) to adhere and form atherosclerotic plaques and ultimately lead to heart disease, strokes, and peripheral arterial disease. The answer is that there is a particular amino acid in a protein in the wall of the artery – lysine – which is one of the twenty amino acids that binds the Lp(a) and causes atherosclerotic plaques to develop. I THINK IT IS A VERY IMPORTANT DISCOVERY”
“Knowing that lysyl residues are what causes Lp(a) to stick to the wall of the artery and form atherosclerotic plaques, any physical chemist would say at once that to prevent that put the amino acid lysine in the blood to a greater extent than it is normally.
“You need lysine, it is essential, you have to get about 1 gram a day to keep in protein balance, but we can take lysine, pure l-lysine, a perfectly nontoxic substance as supplements, which puts extra lysine molecules in the blood. They enter into competition with the lysyl residues on the wall of arteries and accordingly count to prevent Lp(a) from being deposited, or even will work to pull it loose and destroy atherosclerotic plaques.”
Linus Pauling
The Unified Theory Video
Subsequently, researchers at the University of Chicago discovered the proline-binding-site on Lp(a), making the amino acid L-proline another Lp(a) Binding Inhibitor.
It’s Almost Miraculous

“Dear Owen Fonorow,
I want to thank you for saving my life!
It was articles written by you that were published in the “Townsend Letters” ten years ago, when you described the Linus Pauling protocols regarding cardio-vascular disease. In 2002, I began following Dr. Pauling’s recommendations and continue until today with the results recorded in the attached medical records.
I feel indebted to you, Dr. Fonorow, for providing me with information that has enabled me to live the last ten years of my life in excellent health. Thank you for keeping Linus Pauling’s legacy alive.
If the information contained in the enclosed (13 year & experience with Lp(a)) can be of benefit to your cause, you have my permission to use said information , in any manner, shape, or form, with no strings attached.
Thank you sincerely,

There have been more studies on vitamin C than any other nutrient. Today, these “miraculous” dietary supplements are available in every drug store. They are inexpensive. They do not require prescriptions from a doctor. It seems too good to be true.
The Unified Theory
Linus Pauling and Matthias Rath first alerted the world to the cause of heart disease in 1989 — a chronic, sub-clinical vitamin C deficiency — due to a missing liver enzyme caused by the ancient GULO genetic defect in primate DNA.
Pauling, the founder of modern chemistry, holder of 48 honorary Ph.D.s, and the world’s only 2-time unshared Nobel prize laureate, theorized that too little vitamin C elevates cholesterol levels, including the Lp(a) variant that causes narrowing of blood vessels. The elevated cholesterol levels that form atherosclerotic plaques are a healing process.
The Pauling/Rath unified (vitamin C) theory of cardiovascular disease constitutes one of the great potential breakthroughs of modern science. Their remarkable theory, and its intriguing claim that very low cost Lp(a) binding inhibitors will prevent and even dissolve arterial blockages has apparently gone unnoticed by the pharmaceutical industry, the medical profession and the media.
The ‘banned’ Pauling/Rath Unified Theory Paper
As a member of the National Academy of Science USA, in good standing, Linus Pauling was entitled to have his papers published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The following paper was an exception to this rule.

“It’s Almost Miraculous” – Linus Pauling
In Sept. 2007 I had to get a stent in my heart. I had one vein plugged 99% one 40% and one 60%. They put a stent in the 99% one, didn’t do anything for the other two. In 2008, one year later they did a Cath. and found the other two clear after taking cardio-c for one year. Also in March of 2007 My brother had a four way bypass. I finally got him taking cardio-c also.
It’s been six years since any heart problems for either of us. We always get a clean bill of health from our Drs. Of course they are not interested in what we are doing.

What Informed Physicians Say
We are using your product at our clinic and having demonstrated clinical success in reversing atherosclerosis (dosage is in range of 5000-10000 mg/ day). We are confirming the results with a capillary retinopathy diagnostic.
Landmark Paper
Dr. Wallace and his team routinely give their patients Pauling therapy and monitor reversals of atherosclerosis using retinal photographs. Relying on the work of the late Dr. Sydney Bush, his group has found that Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) can be reversed with the proper dosage of the nutritional therapy outlined in their paper, just as Linus Pauling proclaimed.

Dr. Daniel Cobb’s Experience
Reversing Heart Disease with a Vitamin
In my clinic, we have a saying, “Heart disease is easier to treat than low-back pain.” This treatment, when done correctly, works wonders. Out of all my heart disease patients, I have had only one who did not improve significantly, and that one patient did not use the recommended type of vitamin C. Another patient last year completely reversed her heart disease in 2 months.”
Daniel Cobb (Reversing Heart Disease with a Vitamin)
Dr. Cobb is a physician who is familiar with the protocol and uses it in his practice. Article reprinted with permission from wellbeingjournal.com
New article by Dr. Cobb:
Three Cases of Heart Disease Reversed
“Her MD then told her that “I don’t usually get to tell a patient this, but” – she didn’t have heart disease anymore, there was no need to put stents in, and she should come back in two years.
“In financial terms, my total income from these 3 reversals of heart disease is $65.00.”
Latest Research on GULU Knockout Mice Vindicates Pauling/Rath
When your doctor tells you that this theory “hasn’t been proven,” you should know that it hasn’t been formally studied in humans. There is a mountain of scientific and now anecdotal evidence behind the theory. Experimental mice which have been genetically altered to not make their own vitamin C, get heart disease — and vitamin C and lysine reverses it!
It absurd that for thirty years, this therapy has never been experimentally tested in humans. (We believe it has been studied behind the scenes, and succeeded, because the entire world would have known immediately if Pauling was wrong.)
Actually, a report of one 2003 unpublished study in the UK was transmitted to Owen:
3-year clinical trial, 200+ males
6000 mg Vitamin C, 6000 mg Lysine, 800 IU Vitamin E
‘First-Ever’ Soon to be Published… (Never happened!)
Plaque growth 800-1500 percent higher in placebo group
Subject: Re: Trial on Lp(a) – using high doses.
Date: Wed, 5 Mar 2003 17:53:32 -0000
Dear Owen,
From 1997 to year 2000 ( 2-3 year study) we conducted a trial using 6g/day magnesium-ascorbate, 6g Lysine and 800 iu Vitamin E and in addition flavonoids. The formulation is very similar to your suggestion and Linus Pauling’s.
We now have a lot of data on 200+ male individuals including Lp(a) but also on atherosclerotic, plaque size progression, plod pressure, lipid profiles (cholesterol, triglycerides).
You may be interested in viewing some of this data (yet unpublished) soon to be published.
One main important observation was that the plaque growth progression was nearly halted to about 2-3% per year in comparison with natural progression of 15-30%.
We did not find a significant reduction in Lp(a) as such but a clear reduction in Apob.
There were also other benefits such as the hair started to re-grow in several individuals.
The frequency of common colds were also reduced.
Best regards
Dr. K. Kenton
London
United Kingdom
Mysteriously, this study was never published, and we never heard from Dr. Kenton again. Dr. Steve Hickey investigated, and while he could not contact or locate Kenton, he did find an application for an International Patent in Dr. Kenton’s name for vitamin C, vitamin E and magnesium for heart disease.
We owe a deep debt of gratitude for this miracle to America’s greatest scientist, the late Linus Pauling, Ph.D., and his German associate Matthias Rath, MD.
There is a “slight” problem . . .
The reason your doctor has never heard about this (from his or her trusted sources) is because this low-cost therapy would bankrupt every major hospital in the USA.
“Did you know that bypass surgery (in which a blocked coronary artery is replaced by a clean artery obtained from the thigh) is one of the biggest growth industries in the United States? Would it surprise you to learn that this procedure brings in more money to metropolitan hospitals than does any other type of care? In many cases bypass surgery accounts for 30 to 40 percent of a hospital’s total income.”
Stephen Cherniske (DHEA Breakthrough, 1996)
Pauling’s specific high-dosage therapy for heart disease is apparently very effective at quickly relieving painful symptoms. We call this high-dose vitamin C and l-lysine therapy the Pauling Therapy in Linus’s honor.

Confirmation from the Eye
Dr. Sydney Bush, a noted British optometrist, is the founder of CardioRetinometry, a new medical field that analyzes the future health of the heart. “We are looking into life’s secrets,” Bush said, “When we look inside the eye – to call it a crystal ball of your future is an understatement.” In addition to the invention of this important, noninvasive clinical tool, Bush found that vitamin C can improve that future. With Cardioretinometry, doctors can actually track how much vitamin C diminishes the amount of cholesterol in the blood vessels.”
Why Don’t Doctors Know?
“The medical establishment refers to bypass surgery as “preventive care” even though studies show that bypass surgery does not extend overall life expectancy. (That’s because the newly grafted artery usually starts clogging right away.)“
Stephen Cherniske (DHEA Breakthrough)
Most doctors haven’t heard about this because there have been no published studies. Not even in the alternative world. (No one goes to jail when a cure for a major disease is not evaluated by science.)
Most people rely on their doctors for medical information. The Pauling-therapy for heart disease works quickly. Patients have consistently reported symptom relief in ten days or less, even in advanced disease. The effect is rapid and undeniable, thus the reasons that most people haven’t heard about this are not based on science, rather malfeasance.
“Then there are the drugs used to lower blood pressure and cholesterol — another growth industry. These drugs are also called “preventive care” even though there are studies showing that individuals treated with them have increased overall mortality and even though an entire class of blood pressure medications have been shown to increase the risk for heart attack.“
Stephen Cherniske (DHEA Breakthrough)
NIH Refuses to Study Pauling/Rath Therapy
What about our Government? Curing heart disease would have a mammoth impact reducing the national debt.
We, under the auspices of the Vitamin C Foundation, submitted two study proposals to the United States National Institutes of Health, (NIH) Office of Alternative Medicine. We were inexperienced in submitting such proposals, but the NIH was free to solicit its own studies. Either proposal would have fairly evaluated the Pauling therapy on heart disease.
These submissions (and subsequent rejections) are a matter of public record.
Probably the main reason that this important discovery has been ignored is economic: Think of more than half the hospitals in your region closing.
With medical science asleep at the switch, we have been promoting and closely monitoring the effect of Pauling’s therapy on heart patients for almost thirty years. One thing has become crystal clear: The large doses recommended by Linus Pauling are key to success. Neither nutrient has any known lethal toxic dose in animal or human studies.
In our 30-year experience, severely ill CVD patients on various medications ONLY GET BETTER.
The reports have been so amazing that we documented the protocol and success stories in a book Practicing Medicine Without A License
This long-term experience, (initially with dying heart patients who gave up on orthodox medicine and were taking a myriad of heart medications), leaves little doubt that: Cardiovascular (Heart) disease at its root is a vitamin C deficiency. Science cannot dispute this assertion because it has never been tested at Pauling’s recommended dosages.
So why after all these years and so many reports of success do medical researchers still have their collective head in the sand? We can only think of one reason:
The method for reversing heart disease invented by Linus Pauling does not require a doctor.
There is another problem . . .
Former severely ill patients begin feeling so well over time that they feel completely cured and stop taking their high doses of vitamin C.
Stopping the Pauling therapy (high dose vitamin C and lysine) seems to invariably return the person to the condition they were in before starting the Pauling therapy, usually in about six months. We believe that the very high dosage can be lessened over time, but we don’t know by how much. It is clear that vitamin C should not be stopped altogether, and continuing high dosages is cheap “insurance.” (This problem should not be an issue for people taking these supplements for prevention and were feeling well to begin with.)

A Owen’s book documents the amazing (then) 12-year history of the Pauling/Rath theory and therapy for reversing coronary heart disease.
Owen’s enhanced Pauling-therapy protocol for reversing heart disease from the book is available as an excerpt (PDF file). This protocol prevents and often reverses coronary heart disease, something Pauling predicated was possible after the patient corrects an ancient genetic (GLO) defect. Owen’s protocols are based on his 14+ years of study and recommending the Pauling therapy to heart patients.
“Heart patients who elected to follow Linus Pauling’s advice recovered in approximately 30 days, and many experienced significant relief in as little as 10 days. The recoveries only occurred after these former patients adopted the high dosage vitamin C and lysine therapy as specifically recommended by Linus Pauling. These patients usually adopted the Pauling-therapy without their doctor’s knowledge or consent.” – Owen Fonorow from Practicing Medicine Without a License ?

The story of the invention, and the first three cases of the Pauling Therapy. (8 minutes) mp3
Dosage is key. Amazingly, medical “science” has ignored the Pauling Therapy. The “profession” has not published a single study of Pauling’s recommended dosages of vitamin C and lysine, or conducted public clinical trials. Not one. (Consider this: Medicine has conducted more than 1000 trials of the statin prescription cholesterol-lowering drugs, most showing little or no heart benefit.)
Linus Pauling’s Original Dosage Recommendations (1 minute) mp3
This complete lack of interest has allowed organized medicine to dismiss the Pauling/Rath claim a priori as unproven, without comment or critique.
Become an informed patient. After a little reading, you will soon know more about heart disease than your doctors. – Owen R. Fonorow, Orthomolecular Naturopath and Concerned Citizen
