You may recall I was writing to Abram Hoffer about the study Linus Pauling did on his patients treated with vitamin C and other vitamins. It claimed the treated patients lived 21 times longer than untreated. I challenged Pauling's statistical methods, and wanted reassurance that the cancer patients were all equally "in an advanced stage", as Pauling claimed. Hoffer did reply at length. He did not, however, offer to supply any further information about the subjects. He is basically standing by Pauling's work. He has recently published a further book on Vitamin C and cancer which presumably still makes such claims. He has also not responded to a more pressing second request for the data. He says his "charts were very complete and contained data from the cancer clinic, from the referring physicians and from my own follow up notes". Also: "In my more recent book Vitamin C and Cancer, Quarry Press I re examined the patients he had used in his calculations and it turns out that his predictions were very close to the actual outcome.," The data, then, is available, but he will not release it. I think we are entitled to draw our own conclusions. The correspondence is lengthy. I will eventually put it on a web site, but anyone who wishes to see it can email me privately. Peter Moran
I know a person who had cancer. They took megadoses of vitamin c. When they went to have the tumours removed, they'd gone missing.

I do remember when everyone was mega-dosing with Vitamin C in the belief it prevented colds and shortened the time it took to recover from a cold. That seems to have fallen by the wayside along with magnetized bracelets and magnetic mattresses. Both popular in my area some years ago. -- Kim Please note, I don't wish to get involved in any personal conflicts between the posters here.
