Hello,
I just had a few quick questions about the Linus Pauling protocol. I've been taking the Cardio C for a while, trying to reverse heart disease and arterial plaque, but I think maybe I'm not taking enough. I usually only take it once a day. Should I be taking it twice a day?
I was reading an article about the protocol recently. It says that the proline amount to take is 2 to 3 grams per day, but I noticed that the proline in the Cardio C is 1 gram if taken twice a day.
I wasn't sure if I needed to take more Proline with the Cardio C or just the Cardio C? Also, can I take other supplements with the Cardio C or does it have to be taken on an empty stomach?
Thank you so much,
Dorothy
If I understand your "once per day" protocol, that is, one scoop (2500 mg of vitamin C) making one drink, then you may not be taking enough. Based on the Linus Pauling's Unified Theory video lecture, see this snippet:

Pauling recommended 3 grams of vitamin C daily for "every" adult.
However, for those with heart disease, Pauling recommended 5 or 6 grams of vitamin C, and a minimum of 2 grams of extra lysine for a therapeutic effect.
These are conservative recommendations made back in 1992. In the same video, Pauling described the first case(s) where 5 g, and then 6 g of vitamin C and lysine performed a miracle on a scientist who was a fellow member of the National Academy of Sciences.
For part of this case study, see this snippet.

The fellow scientist increased, on his own, the 5 g recommended by Pauling to 6 g daily, and his pain went away.
We designed one jar of Cardio-C (or one jar of the brand new Cardio-CAPS capsules) to provide the "prophylactic" or preventive dosage as recommended by Pauling.
Two jars, reaches the dosage level of the case studies in the Pauling unified theory video lecture.
Since there is no known toxicity, many heart patients have gone initially to 3 or even 4 jars monthly, often with spectacular results. Sadly, we don't know the proper maintenance dose, but we believe that after disease reversal, one jar per month may be an appropriate maintenance dose.
We do know you cannot stop altogether without risking a heart attack roughly six months after stopping higher dose vitamin C (and lysine).
The proline question is interesting. The answer likely depends on your measured Lp(a) cholesterol blood levels. The proline binding site (analogous to the lysine binding site) on Lp(a) was discovered after Pauling's death by university of Chicago researchers. It was Pauling's associate Matthias Rath who first began recommending proline. In our experience, proline is the nutritional factor that lowers our body's production of Lp(a). Proline is not essential, meaning our bodies can make this amino acid, but perhaps we make less as we age? Note that all the cases in my book (from back around 2006) were based upon our experience using Tower Hearttechnology, which from memory, only had 400 mg of proline per serving. So the 2 jar therapeutic dose would have provided 800 mg per day. Two jars of Cardio-C provides 1000 mg of the amino acid L-proline per day.
We have seen, but don't really know where these "2-3 grams of proline" recommendations are coming from, or what they are based upon. Maybe these high dosages couldn't hurt, but based upon our experience, lower amounts can work miracles. See our current testimonials:

Re: when to take Pauling's therapy. Over the years, correspondents have reported the "best results" taking the large dose of Pauling's therapy about 20-30 minutes prior to meals. By this I mean, taking the high amounts this way produces the least amount of bloating, gas, etc. However, I don't think it matters too much when you take vitamin C and lysine - as long as it isn't in conjunction with fiber. Fiber can leach onto nutrients, keeping them from being absorbed.
