IGNORANCE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THE MAJOR U. S. MEDIA

If you are suffering heart disease, or if a family member or friend has heart disease, or has died of heart disease since 1992 then you need to add your voice to those wanting an explanation. We began contacting most major media outlets in early 1995 regarding the Linus Pauling/Matthias Rath claims of a cure for heart disease.

Even if wrong, Pauling's stature should have made this announcement newsworthy. Instead, this announcement was met with cold silence. The media blackout on this development continues to this day. As a direct result of this blackout, most medical doctors and mainstream scientists are generally unaware of the Pauling/Rath work. Their claims have yet to be formally tested by impartial observers in human beings. Ironically, the fact that Pauling and Rath are not referenced in the Lp(a) literature may be the reason so many studies on Lp(a) itself have been conducted during the past 5 years.

Recently, after becoming convinced of the amazing near 100% recovery rate for "terminally" ill patients, we again decided to contact all the following Media Moguls about the Pauling invention. The following individuals were all sent packages detailing the Pauling discovery, the lipoprotein(a) science available via the MEDLINE (comprehensive medical) database, and a description of our empirical experience. We included artwork for a public service advertisement we asked them to run in their publications. (It is possible one or more of these publications will write a story or run the advertisement. If they do, I hope you will join us in commending them.)

This was the basis of the cover letter sent in September of 1997:

Briefly:
In 1991, Linus Pauling invented a cure for occlusive cardiovascular disease
In 1993, Pauling video taped his lecture about this discovery to neutralize Lp(a)
In 1994, Pauling was awarded a (joint) US patent for reversing heart disease
In 1995, We saw the video and began notifying media, including JAMA and NEJM
In 1996, Jama publishes Bostom's Lp(a) paper -- with no references to Pauling/Rath, even though Bostom admits to having read all their papers
In 1997, After empirically observing a 100% success rate in patients declared terminal, and finding over 1000 supporting MEDLINE studies, we have again contacted all media regarding this development; one as important as man landing on the moon.

Please consider writing one or more of the following individuals. Ask them why they continue to ignore a development that ranks, in terms of sheer accomplishment, with THE great scientific discoveries. Tell them about the people you know who have died, and who might have survived had the media merely reported, not passed judgement on, Pauling's announced cure.

Disbelief and credibility are certainly excuses for not pursuing this story, but if Linus Pauling isn't credible, who is? A little investigative leg work is all that is needed to verify that the basic facts, i.e., that Pauling did indeed invent a cure for Heart Disease in 1991, taped a lecture about the invention in 1993, and was awarded a joint patent in 1994. Today, the 1101 studies since 1992 are available via MEDLINE. There really is NO excuse for the continuing media blackout of this momentous story.

If experience is any indication, the majority of the above publications will continue to ignore the fact that an American Scientist invented a cure for heart disease. (Apparently, a significant "donation" is required before a news worthy item becomes news in the United States. Why should corruption in the media be any different from our other major institutions?)

If we missed your favorite newspaper or magazine, please email us the publisher's name and address. We'll send the same package of information, including a public service advertisement and our letter to JAMA.

And Consider This

And the holocaust continues...
