This book is really interesting but too hard for me to read. In my first go-around with grad school, I always skipped the very medical/neuroscience-y stuff because I just couldn't wrap my head around. That being said, I enjoyed what I did read of this book (four chapters). I'd heard about Linus Pauling through "Food Matters" and was really interested in megadosing. I had a cold while reading this book and decided to take 1,000mg of vitamin C every hour I was awake until I felt better. ...more
in sentence fragments. evidence undeniable. integrity of author speaks volumes alone. worth a try. still considered quackish ideas. will serve as excellent reference.
Got me on lots of Vit C many years ago!
Take Vitamin C supplements!
