On Population Kinetics of an Aging Society: Aging and Scurvy

Evidence from skeletal remains and pictorial records for the past several millennia established that humans have had a very inadequate ascorbic acid intake and commonly exhibited signs of frank scurvy, as well as the invisible signs of subclinical scurvy (absence of AA in scorbutic urine is universal). They suffered scurvy's mortality, being a major cause of death especially in times of stress due to dietary fluctuations, climate, migrations, voyages, battles, etc. Rapid aging and death by acute scurvy, and infectious and degenerative diseases related to chronic scurvy added to the toll. In this era, the loss of function and changes in appearance that we see in humans in the second 50 years of life are theoretically simple to avoid. However, this is very rare because there is almost no one who does not eat the refined diet of the affluent societies. We present here an overview of a vast array of evidence on the connections between aging and scurvy.

A Unity of Science, Especially Among Physicists, Is Urgently Needed to End Medicine's Lethal Misdirection

We have all read that: (1) organized medicine was laughing at the germ theory and refused to wash its hands in the late 1800's while women died of childbed fever and other patients of wound sepsis (scientists in general, including physicists, were among those who died); and (2) during the 1900's, and still today, organized medicine is laughing at the essential nutrient theory. We now hear the medical quality assurance boards enforce MANY MISTAKEN VIEWS and DO NOT recognize that: "xenobiotics can't be substituted for essential nutrients; ascorbic acid is NOT a vitamin and hence, is needed in multi-gram (not minute amounts) for optimum health; there is great harm in a diet deriving half its calories from refined carbohydrates as is common in the US today; dietary correction is possible at a stage when surgery is contemplated for a cardiac patient; mercury dental fillings and even the high-copper variety most widely used are extremely unsafe;" etc. The purpose of this manuscript is to elicit coordinated collective effort of physicists, other scientists and the Union of Concerned Scientists to educate the public and end this tyranny of organized medicine whose methods are reported to cause much M&M (over a million unnecessary US deaths at a cost of many billion dollars annually). The biochemistry of these errors would be trivial to understand for physicists and other scientists (who are all still going innocently to slaughter among those dying needlessly, even today).
