A couple of additional thoughts about therapeutic trials.
If one assumes that calcium levels are an acceptable indicator of heart health and that the Pauling therapy affords significant changes in calcium levels then even a small study could be used to indicate its effectiveness.
Large studies are needed to get statistically significant information when changes are likely to be small. If one was anticipating that the therapy would drop calcium levels by say 100 points then a sample size of 100 would surely suffice.
If those people on the therapy had their calcium level drop by an average of 50 points and those on a placebo had it drop by say 0 then even a small sample size would suffice.
If the results are generally as striking as Fred=92s's case suggests then a sample size of 100 would be more than adequate.
Fred, it is impressive that your calcium levels is now at 0. Do you know what it was at before you started the therapy?
And how long did it take for you to notice an improvement?

Is the vitamin c foundation interested in his proposed Therapeutic trial? thanks for your answer
We do not assume basic Pauling therapy has an effect on calcium - vitamin C/lysine (and proline), but adding regular vitamin K (w/k2) can have profound effect on calcium scores.

We need to know if Fred was also taking vitamin K.
