V ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Les and Cindy Nachman of LivonLabs in Henderson, Nevada for their friendship and their gracious support of my work. Without their backing, this book may never have been completed and published. Any professional and/or commercial success that this book may eventually enjoy will need to be attributed to these two individuals. Similarly, Dave Nicol of LivonLabs has not only been invaluable in backing my work along with Les and Cindy, he has helped immensely in putting the book and its concepts into a much more reader-friend- ly format for the benefit of all who obtain a copy. I think that I even understood my own workbetter after Dave had completed his revisions. A thank you also goes to Shari Owenby of Livon- my Labs for her able assistance with all of interactions with LivonLabs. Finally, I wish to offer a very special thanks to Dr. Julian Whitaker who wrote the Foreword to this book after reviewing it. Julian has been a friend and colleague for some years now, and having the support and positive feedback of such a distinguished physi- cian and medical educator is extremely important and much appreciated. X » FOREWORD by Julian Whitaker, M.D. In the mid-1960s, Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling began to study elements such as vitamin C, niacin, folic acid, and a number of other substances we now collectively call vitamins. It fascinated him that these elements could be used therapeutically in doses often a thousand times that found in food. In 1968, Pauling coined the term orthomolecular medicine and defined it as the use of elements common and essential to the body in various dosages to prevent and treat illness. Whereas vitamin and mineral supplementation is common practice today, it is brand new to human his- tory. That's because prior to the middle part of the 20th century there was no way to synthesize or extract vita- mins and nutrients from other substances. In fact, the accurate molecular structure of vitamin C, one of the simpler vitamins, wasn't nailed down until the mid- 30s. The discovery of these orthomolecular substances and their subsequent utilization in the prevention and my treatment of disease is, in opinion, the greatest medical advancement of the 20th century. Unfortunately, the medical "business" is virtu- ally owned by the pharmaceutical interests. Drug companies must patent the molecular structure of the active ingredient of their products in order to make a profit. Orthomolecular substances cannot be patented because they exist in nature. What does this mean? Nearly all prescription drugs, with the exception of some hormones, are not only substances not found in — the human body they are foreign to life! Yet, these patented drugs enable the pharma- ceutical companies to garner truly obscene profits. This money allows them to buy and spread influence in virtually every area of our society. Each year Big Pharma spends a whopping $16 billion on direct-to- physician promotion and another $4 billion peddling their wares directly to consumers through advertising. Consequently, the thought of utilizing orthomolecular substances to prevent and treat disease is not only for- gotten but scorned by practitioners who are easy prey for the pharmaceutical industry. The irony is that if an orthomolecular substance works today, it will work a million years from now. This cannot be said for the prescription drugs of today, many of which will be nonexistent only 100 years from — now if that long. One barrier to physicians and individuals using orthomolecular substances is that they contradict the elements of style. That is to say, we all want and desire the latest and greatest. We look to new drugs with ir- A rational hope. "true breakthrough" hits the market, everyone rushes to try it, and when it fails yet another blockbuster drug takes its place. It's a vicious cycle. Orthomolecular substances, however, are found to
