For more than thirty years, Dr. Shute - a protege of Linus Pauling - has led an ever increasing number of courageous doctors in the winning fight against America's number one killer: heart disease. The major weapon in this Canadian doctor's arsenal has been Vitamin E. "In the 1950s the Schute brothers.......said vitamin E worked against heart disease and cerebrovascular disease. They were greeted with laughter. A couple of years ago, the Harvard School of Public Health showed that just 100 units of vitamin E per day decreased the death rate by 40 percent. How many Americans would have been saved in the intervening 35 years had Harvard taken a responsible position and said, "We are skeptical of these claims but let's look at them"? But they wouldn't do that as it didn't fit their paradigm. So vitamin E was totally destroyed by the establishment. Think of the cost of those decisions."--Linus Pauling 1996 Interview by Peter Chowka. Features a five-page bibilography and an index. 208 pages. Insured post. Dr. Shute created The Shute Institute for Clinical and Laboratory Medicine in London, Canada.. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Book.
