How to do the Rath /Pauling Therapy

(Proposed by Dr. Matthias Rath and two-time Nobel Prize winner Dr. Linus Pauling)

What is the Rath /Pauling Therapy?

This simple, inexpensive therapy utilizes vitamin C and two amino acids (taken orally) to ensure sufficient collagen production to strengthen ALL connective tissue - providing structure and support throughout the body, notably for:

•   Connective tissue in arterial walls

•  Skin

•  Muscle

•  Nervous tissue

•  Bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons

•  Teeth

Examples of Therapy Benefits

Cures heart disease caused by atherosclerosis.  By strengthening and healing blood vessels, and by also removing atherosclerotic plaque, the therapy normalizes cholesterol and/or high blood pressure;

CVD (related to atherosclerosis) -A Simple Cure

Rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis - by rebuilding degenerated joint cartilage;

Improves Skin Tone and Elasticity.   These especially depend on the presence of the proteins collagen and elastin in the skin's dermis layer. Production of both collagen and elastin requires vitamin C, lysine and proline. Lysine also prevents collagen-digesting enzymes from destroying collagen.

The Therapy: Vitamin C, Lysine and Proline

The form of vitamin C recommended by Dr. Linus Pauling is pure pharmaceutical grade ascorbic acid:

-   Not buffered.   Less is absorbed through the stomach wall

-   Not combined as a mineral complex (e.g. calcium ascorbate) - the high dosage levels of this therapy could result in an overdose of the complexed mineral.

Bowel Tolerance / Diarrhea.    The onset of diarrhea indicates when the body's true requirement of ascorbate (vitamin C) has been reached. Ascorbate is absorbed into the blood stream before it reaches the colon. When your bloodstream is full, it will not absorb anymore and ascorbate reaching the colon causes diarrhea.

Vitamin C is Better Taken in Smaller Separated Doses - About 80-90% of ingested ascorbic acid is absorbed into the blood from the small intestines. The body uses it in ~2 hours, and it has usually gone from the blood in 3-4 hours.

Take Vitamin C Consistently.   Once you start taking more vitamin C than usual, it is important to take it consistently, and to not stop, even for a day. If you want to reduce your consumption of vitamin C, do so gradually over a period of several days.Consuming high doses of vitamin C causes the body to create large quantities of enzymes that utilize the vitamin C. If vitamin C consumption is stopped suddenly, then these enzymes will go to work on the small quantity of vitamin C remaining in the body, with possible scurvy resulting.

Powdered Ascorbic Acid, Lysine and Proline - most ECONOMICAL form

-   Add powders to a 6-8oz glass of water, juice or “Green Drink” (a food-form vitamin/ mineral supplement, such as E.g. “"Green Drink"”. Powders have a mild taste and actually improve the tase of a green drink.

-   Daily preventative dose costs less than 50 cents

Do not PRE-mix powders.    It casues the vitamin C to oxidize, turning the mixture pink.

How Long to Take Therapeutic Dose?     It is suggested that you take the therapeutic dose until you have confirmation that your health problem has been resolved - or you have some other reason for stopping.

What if you are Currently taking Statin or any other Drugs?

You, and only you, can decide how, when and if you should wean off any drugs you are taking.    The information provided on this website is intended to enlighten you to information, which hopefully will help you take responsibility for your own health.

The Rath Cellular Solution to prevent cancer metasasis

(a slightly adapted version of Rath/Pauling Therapy)

The Rath Cellular Solution prevents cancer cell metastasis.    By strengthening the connective tissue and interfering with enzymes that cancer uses to “cut”through connective tissue. The Rath Cellular Solution is simply the therapeutic level of the Rath/Pauling therapy, with the addition of EGCG and a little extra proline.
