	Linus Pauling: Nobel Laureate for Peace and Chemistry
		Pauling frequently credits his wife as the catalyst of his professional success, and calls their acquaintance "the event that had the greatest affect on [his] life." He insists that he is not more intelligent than other scientists; he is simply more active -- and his activity, Pauling says, was enabled by Mrs.
		Pauling also credits his wife for helping to inspire his initial involvement in nuclear disarmament -- she not only encouraged his activism, but also exhorted him to study economics and social theory, so that he could understand the issues he was trying to address and defend the positions he took.
		Pauling's advocacy of megadosage, some opponents say, is based on insubstantial research and an alliance with a leading vitamin C distributor, Hoffmann-La Roche, a primary contributor to the Linus Pauling Institute of Medicine.

	Linus Pauling
		Pauling's breakthrough was to formulate approximate methods for solving the equation that could be applied to compounds such as methane and benzene.
		Pauling was the first to make quantum theory and chemical experiment work together and, in so doing, added important terms and ideas such as "hydrogen bonding," "resonance," " hybrid bond," and "valence bond theory" to the chemist's repertoire.
		Pauling was professor of sciences at the Center for the Studies of Democratic Institutions, 1963-67, and professor of chemistry at the University of California, San Diego, 1967-69, and at Stanford University, 1969-74.

	About Linus Pauling
		Linus Pauling first came to the notice of many of his countrymen outside of science when he framed the issue on which public opinion compelled, at last, the suspension by the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom of the testing of nuclear weapons in the atmosphere.
		Linus Carl Pauling was born in Portland, Oregon, on February 28, 1901.
		Pauling and Robert B Corey published a description of the helical structure of proteins in 1950, and structure was soon verified experimentally.

	Linus Pauling: The Dark Side of His Legacy
		Pauling is largely responsible for the widespread misbelief that high doses of vitamin C are effective against colds and other illnesses.
		The Linus Pauling Institute of Medicine, founded in 1973, is dedicated to "orthomolecular medicine." The institute's largest corporate donor has been Hoffmann-La Roche, the pharmaceutical giant that produces most of the world's vitamin C.
		Pauling supported Falconi's contentions that vitamin C was useful not only in preventing cancer, but also in curing drug addicts and destroying both viruses and bacteria.

		Linus Pauling, two-time Nobel laureate and the world's foremost vitamin C proponent, entertained an overflow crowd in the Bldg.
		Pauling has published studies asserting that lipoprotein-a is a surrogate for vitamin C, serving to strengthen blood vessel walls in the absence of adequate amounts of the vitamin in the diet.
		Pauling is convinced that doses of vitamin C can help prevent the onset of cardiovascular disease, inhibiting the formation of disease-promoting lesions on blood vessel walls and perhaps decreasing the production of lipoprotein-a in the blood.

		Pauling was one of the greatest scientists in history and is the only person to win two unshared Nobel prizes, the most prestigious international awards for achievement in science, medicine, and other fields.
		Pauling's high-profile involvement in political controversies of the 1950s and '60s (including organizing the successful international campaign to ban nuclear bomb testing, which won him the 1962 Nobel Peace Prize), he said, prepared him for the equally rancorous debates of the 1970s and '80s when he became the de facto leader of nutritional medicine.
		Linus Pauling, PhD was at least several decades ahead of his time in identifying foods, individual nutrients, micronutrients, and nutritional supplements as having significant roles in the prevention and treatment of illness.

	Pauling, Linus (1901-1994) -- from Eric Weisstein's World of Scientific Biography
		Early in his career, Pauling published "The Theoretical Prediction of the Physical Properties of Many Electron Atoms and Ions," which demonstrated that the structure of electron orbitals in complicated atoms could be described with quantum mechanics.
		Pauling spent 1967-1969 at the University of California San Diego, then moved to Stanford where he plunged into his "research" on vitamin C as a prevention of cancer and the common cold.
		Pauling settled the dispute out of court in 1983, but the motivation behind his harsh action is still unclear.

	Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University
		Linus Pauling was never reluctant to inspire or enter into controversy by expressing unorthodox scientific ideas, taking a strong moral position, or rousing the public to some worthy cause.
		Pauling discovered that in many cases the type of bonding —; whether ionic or covalent (formed by a sharing of electrons between bonded atoms) —; could be determined from a substance's magnetic properties.
		Pauling's innovative concepts, published beginning in the late 1920s, together with numerous examples of their application to particular chemical compounds or compound groups gave chemists fundamental principles to apply to the growing body of chemical knowledge.

		When he [Dr. Pauling] suggested that vitamin C had efficacy with cancer, it was considered nonsense by the "Establishment" as well as the mainstream media.
		His invention, the Pauling Therapy, is to increase the concentration of this essential and non-toxic amino acid (and proline) in the blood serum.
		Together, Pauling and Rath developed their unified theory which holds that increased Lp(a) acts as a surrogate for low vitamin C and hardens weak blood vessels.

	Pauling, Linus definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms
		At the age of 38, Pauling was a full professor and head of the chemistry division at Caltech, the youngest member ever elected to membership in the National Academy of Sciences, and the father of four children (three sons, Linus, Jr., Peter, and Crellin, and a daughter, Linda).
		Pauling had started his structural studies by considering inorganic molecules, but during the 1930s he shifted his structural studies to large biomolecules, especially proteins.
		For over twenty years, between 1973 and 1994, Pauling's research focused on a field he termed "orthomolecular medicine," the concept that optimal health could result from ensuring that the right molecules were present in the right amount in the body.

		While Pauling's larger-than-life reputation as an intellectual is well deserved, I was struck during the numerous times I interviewed him by his down-to-earth accessibility, inexhaustible energy, positive outlook and good humor.
		PAULING: Not in looking for wonder drugs, no. And, of course, I feel strongly that vitamin C and another orthomolecular substance, lysine, will provide far greater control of cardiovascular diseases than we'll be able to get over cancer.
		PAULING: The investigators there work on various problems, particularly ones involving vitamin C and other vitamins in relation to disease or, in some cases, just the basic chemistry of the vitamins.
