Research of Matthias Rath, MD

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I posted this a week ago, but no one has responded. Maybe you are all way

behind in your reading, or some have had to sign off as I did for awhile.

Are any of you familiar with the work of Mathias

Rath, MD, who had done research showing that Vitamin C deficiency is one key

cause of heart disease? I just found his website and was amazed

at what I read. He worked with Linus ing in the last years of his long

life. His research puts quite a different spin on heart disease, one that

makes sense and explains much puzzling data.

http://www.dr-rath-research.org/news/index.php

When that site comes up there is a pop-up that leads you to the site of " The

Stanford Speech, a Call to the Medical World " by Dr. Matthias Rath, which is

a good summary of his research:

The Scurvy - Heart Disease Connection

Solution to the Puzzle of Cardiovascular Disease

Palo Alto, California, May 4, 2002 - a good summary of his ideas.

Vitamin supplementation is often mentioned on this list, although it's may

slightly off topic, but I've always been a bit leary of the need for that

when you are trying to eat the best you can and have a good garden. But his

research gave me a clear simple reason for supplementation. What do you

think.

Here is an article on the WAP website about the many theories on the actual

cause of heart disease. ing's theory on vitamin C deficiency is one

mentioned. Thyroid deficiency is another. As for supplementation. It may

be necessary because you can't control all factors. Sometimes it is hard to

obtain quality organic fruits and vegetables unless you grow you own. You

also need to consider local soil conditions and what you can do about it. A

doctor told my mother that she may have gotten hypothyroidism because the

California soils are low in iodine as compared to her native Pennsylvania.

I think I'd like to stay away from chemicals, vitamin, additive,

preservative, herbacide...no matter what the chemical.

Thank you for reminding me of this excellent article on the WAP website. I

reviewed it again more carefully and found that she does mention Dr. Rath's

research in a paragraph toward the end. The complexity of factors that are

probably involved with heart disease is mind boggling!
