Owen,
what's the name of the doctor? I don't know him. And... Heart disease is caused by our diet (especially highly processed carbos and omega-6 vegetable oils)...??? Of course, it isn't good to eat so, but I think it isn't the real cause. We know from Matthias Rath that atherosclerosis and heart disease is caused by a lack of vitamin c and other nutrients.

Hmmmh. May be there is a connection. But the c a u s e of atherosclerosis and heart disease are never viruses, bacteria, toxins or carbos. Nor cholesterol, oxid. cholesterol or saturated fat

Johnwen, I was getting a cold sore every 2 to 3 months after none for nearly 10 years. I tried several prescriptions and finally found out about lysine. I started taking it when I felt I was getting a cold sore and it helped symptoms and healed faster. I wanted to start taking it daily but let silly articles scare me away. I found this site while doing more lysine searches and since taking 3 grams per day have been able to keep them away. Is there anything else besides the 6 grams of vitamin c I should take to keep them away and reduce my risk of he disease?

Thank you Johnwen, you brought up something as important as dosing to me. I will get lysine powder to cut down on fillers for every day use.

I also need to go back and read part of Owens chapter on the pauling therapy and maybe even read the Pauling book! I was thinking you could take less lysine if it were preventative.
