Pauling and Cameron cite is limited to anecdotal Case reports which have not been confirmed by other researches. Or. Pauling pointed out to me in his letter that i had indeed made one factual error. I said he had twice won Nobel prizes in unrelated Fields of  however although her. Pauling has a distinguished career in both physical chemistry and molecular biology Hewon his tint Nobel prize in chemistry but his second Nobel was a peace prize for his work i limiting atmospheric nuclear weapons testing.
