this sir is so impressive...i respect him so much...a man with his culture being, at the same time, so polite and warm - i'd say lovely isn't he ? its unusual to see such a personality..the world misses men like him...
Forget vitamin C, Pauling is arguable the greatest scientist of the last century. He made fundamental contributions to chemistry and biology. he could have won 3 nobel prizes independent of the one for peace.
To further vitamin C, vitamin C in high doses is saving my life. It's reversing my heart disease. My CAC is down 30% from 660 to 458 and cardiologists have said it's not reversible!
I marched with Dr. Pauling against Vietnam, sat in his lectures in Biochemistry at UCLA and consulted with him concerning my dad's cancer. What is happening in our world when we don't listen to the intelligence of mankind that this man was so exemplary of? We are definitely in trouble.
Linus Pauling's great grandson is a friend of mine who lives in Geneva Paris and Northern California fighting for peace in a world without weapons. His family foundations are trying to end violence as well as the use of weapons to create a peaceful world. Linus Pauling's great grandson Linus Pauling Jr. continues the work of his esteemed great grandfather who wanted a world of peace.
Amazing human both inside and outside, I take around 15,000mg per day and it has advanced my life beyond belief. The one thing that bugs me in our current world affairs is around 97% of the Worldwide Ascorbic Acid powder is made and produced in China and the rest comes from Scotland. We need to make and produce our own Vitamin C & nutrients , because if there was a problem between the US & CHINA like sanctions or a war which would really sucks big time cause if that ever happened you can kiss it all goodbye.
@@enalo6261 Everyone who does not read the history of vit C in the past 80 years of medical literature. You can start by researching Dr Frederick Robert Klenner. Happy reading and discovering but if time is an issue Dr Thomas Levy has several RU-vid videos summarising Dr.Klenner's discoveries and experiences and experiments with vit C.
Anyone care to comment on the question the moderator asked "Why has it been so difficult to bridge this gap between the insights of scientists and the thinking and actions of our politicians?" Personally, I think this is a terribly important question. You can only have so much internal conflict before you tear yourself apart. We can only allow the smartest people in the world to design our technology for so long, before putting that technology in the hands of the stupidest people results in our destruction. My answer in the disparity is that politicians are elected by people whose education on scientific insight is not increasing in tandem with its importance to political decisions. Politicians get power largely be placating ignorant and emotional reactions, scientists get degrees and make discoveries by mechanisms entirely different from popular consent.
gbiota1, We should give function of organizing our society not to politicians, but to those who can actually solve human problems, which are not geo-political but are *technical,* technicians, engineers, social scientists, architects, designers, scientists in other fields (while participating actively ourselves in this process, too). That's the main problem - we trust this function to incompetent class (politician class). The Zeitgeist Movement, The Venus Project talk about this in detail.
Remarkable! He convinced the Soviet and the World to stop nuclear testing in the earth's atmosphere! If we are still here; It is because of men like him.
Linus: I take about 15,000mg of vitamin C per day Medical Community: you can't do that, that's incredibly dangerous Linus (20 years later at 90 years old): now I take about 20,000mg of vitamin C per day Medical Community: uh... that's dangerous?
@Alfred E Neuman I've been taking c the last 2 weeks, about a spoon a day in a fruit shake and still I suffer from a sinus infection and naw sume bad nausea, have I done something wrong? My baby is sick too, how can you give vitamin c to a baby?
One of the best interviews of one of the greatest minds and humanitarian princes of peace the world has ever known. Many comments have become the reality of today. . .
Why have I never heard of such an awesome man?!? It's almost like he was censored away into mediocrity! People who play with balls for a living get more recognition! I'm a little bit outraged, a lot saddened by the fact that nobody is promoting the smart people of the world.
Interestingly, all the people I have known that have used conventional methods (i.e. radiation and chemotherapy) have died. 27 people in 9 years. I now know 9 people who have used alternative methods and are living - CANCER FREE. And I am meeting more people all the time who are going the alternative route. I used to be a part of the medical establishment, but not anymore.
Not to detract from this fantastic interview with Dr. Pauling, but when the interviewer started speaking it sounded like Ellen DeGeneres, lol. Now I can't unhear it even when looking at the guy while he's speaking. 🤣🤣 🤣
Mr. Linus Pauling was my great grandfather. He belonged to my fathers side, and im not kidding. I have his genetics, im smart. And i've always been interested in studying nuclear weapons.
Mashdash How old was he? How old are you going to be? I claim less. You'll understand when you die after 20 years you were a useless vegetable. Or no, you will not.
+Mashdash You do realise he died at age 93, right? The average life expectancy for men was 75 at the time. Also every human would eventually die from cancer if they live long enough.
yes, it did worked. But we don't need it anymore as we don't have two superpowers on the verge of having a colossal world war. However this interview is old, that is, pre soviet union break up.
Pauling is still considered one of the three greatest scientists of the 20th century. The others being Richard Feynman and Albert Einstein. What dio you think they all have in common with the other three's? Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael? Want more? 3 greatest computer heads today Gates, Jobs, Wozniak. Most greatest leaders of the world 3 greatest musicians who ever lived Bach, Mozart, Beethoven. All these people are left handed from before birth. Medical chemical fact. So much misinfo on this
Vanessa, I must thank you for notifying me to what I wrote, as it's been over 12 years ago that I watched this interview with Linus Pauling. I'm guessing that others have wondered what I meant when I mentioned left-handed people, as I noticed I didn't describe in detail as to why. I was hired as an adjunct professor of astronomy to teach in a local University in 2004. Before the semester began, a lady was teaching a class about the human brain for the new faculty and she asked me to sit in on it. It was fascinating because she was a nurse and her husband was a brain surgeon. It took me the last 12 years since I made the comment here, to study this further yet. But essentially left-handed people are born with a larger right brain capacity, and this has been medically and scientifically documented, so it's not just an opinion or a hoax. As I mentioned above, a few of the very famous people that are known in the history books to be the greatest geniuses, but it is largely due to why there are many more that you can start thinking of in the history books that are also known as great geniuses, and most likely they will be left-handed people. It runs the highest in the arts, the sciences, the entertainment world, writers, poets, all sports fields, and other creative genius types. In the class about the human brain the nurse explained to me that this was discovered in the early 1980s by a Dr Norman Geschwind. The doctor studied the amniotic fluids of women that had just conceived at 6 weeks after conception. He made note that in some mother's amniotic fluids there is high testosterone presence. This high testosterone suppresses the left lateral hemisphere of the brain, and allows the right lateral hemisphere to become larger and/or more active. There is also extra neurological wiring grown across from the right hemisphere through the corpus callosum to the left hemisphere. So it's as if left-handed people are born with this extra brain capacity computer. It stays this way for life. In this way the larger hemisphere of the right brain is what is responsible for the preference to use the left hand, and this is determined at about 8 and 1/2 months before birth. This theory has been contested by many medical circles over the years and there are other variances of it. It is quite controversial but there is no doubt that most of the great geniuses in the history books all being left handed is undeniable. Since 12 years ago I've learned there's other great geniuses such as Dr Carl Sagan, the astronomer, Dr Marshall McLuhan, the media specialist from Eastern Canada, and so many more genius left-handers, too many to list here today. In the modern world and more recently in the past weeks, it has been noted that the famed Beatle, Paul McCartney, has been shown to possess genius Like qualities for his life and music. Is it any wonder as to why he was born as left-handed?
@@MarkSeibold No, my question is in relation to your statement regarding the 3 greatest scientists of the 20th century, my god, where is Niels Borh, or... Paul Dirac... I'm sorry, but put Richard Feynman as as one of the greatest when there's Max Planck... only, it doesn't make any sense (Richard was important, of course, but his importance doesn't match that of the aforementioned)
@@vanessaguimaraes01 Yes I agree with you, as there are many other great scientists. I was just making the point of most of the tops of all these varied fields of arts and sciences is usually a larger percentage of left-handed people. It's possible that some of these other names you mentioned might have been naturally born left-handers, but then were forced to write right-handed because in the old days the archaic cultures thought that left handedness was a sign of evil or the devil. Also I was not sure that others here noted that Linus Pauling grew up in Portland Oregon, our hometown. He attended Washington High School and today they have many of the Halls decked out with paintings of Linus Pauling and names, of say, a rooftop restaurant there now called Revolution Hall.
You have no idea of the profit optimization of the medical sector. And by the way; How much sense does a perfect medical care, which would make everyone around the 100 years old, if the raw materials are already scarce? Dying young and doing good to humanity and the planet. Do it
Well, I think you clearly can extrapolate from the 36 people you know to overturning decades of cancer research done by scientists who are all a hell of a lot smarter than you are. I'm perfectly fine with you taking vitamins or doing nothing or praying or sticking spaghetti up your nose when it's YOUR cancer treatment under consideration. What I sincerely hope for is that you aren't in charge of making medical decisions for anyone else.
Wow, what a bizarre way to look at it. Here's a more rational, evidence-based way: Pauling outgrew his scientific humility after two Nobels and a career of staggering, unparalleled success in science. When he became seriously ill, he chose to trust his own intuitions and ability over the consensus of experts who knew a lot more about cancer than he did (let's not forget the prelude of his stubborn, wrong ideas about DNA). Today the conspiratorial and ignorant embrace him their own hero. Sad.
Well your great uncle was a crazy guy becuase he invented vitamins which is great to you but actully vitamins are One total scam becuase vitamin are does nothing dont eat vitamins if you eat vitamins in orenges and lemons is the best way you can treat your so yeah sorry to say but your great uncle was crazy about vitamins he ven said that they can fix cancer but he died of cancer the disease that he thought vitamins could fix yeah im sorry
@@thekurdishguy2162 vitamin C is AN anti toxicIDANT CERTIFIED whatever form food or pill. It prevents cancer and promotes one immune system and destroying freeradicals. Pauling is certified genius and hero to our country. He may have had innate genetic preposition to cancer AS answer to your doubts.
