"Do not let either the medical authorities or the politicians mislead you. Find out what the facts are, and make your own decisions about how to live a happy life and how to work for a better world." - Linus Pauling (Two Nobel Winner & the Champion of Vitamin C)

The late Linus Pauling was the only man in the world to have won two unshared Nobel Prizes. In 1954, for Chemistry and in 1962, for Peace. Two Nobel Prizes by one man in one lifetime! Linus Pauling was globally admired and globally controversial.

His 1954 Nobel Prize was awarded for his work on genetic influences in relation to the atomic structure of proteins in hemoglobin. He discovered that sickle cell anemia is caused by genetic defect.

Professor Linus Pauling (friend of Albert Einstein) was considered the Champion of Vitamin C and its curative powers.

He continued his other scientific work at the Linus Pauling Institute of Science and Medicine in Palo Alto, California. There, he and 35 other researchers researched the basic mechanisms of disease, including the way to decipher human genes.

Linus Pauling died in 1994 at the age of 93.
