description: By following the simple, inexpensive and safe regimen described in this book, you can greatly reduce your chances of catching cold and, at the same time, improve your general health. So contends its Nobel Prize-winning author Linus Pouling. Despite widespread popular belief in its effectiveness in preventing and combatting the common cold, vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is still discounted by many medical and nutritional authorities s a useful preventative treatment. Now Professor Pauling, after carefully reexamining the evidence and conducting his own tests, concludes that when properly used this naturally occurring food substance - far safer than the drugs usually prescribed or recommended for colds - is thoroughly effective in both the prevention and the alleviation of the common cold and related diseases.
