"Well, I don't know that there is a need for a randomized prospective, double blind controlled trial when you get evidence of this sort, the value of large intakes of vitamin C and also of lysine for preventing the deposition of atherosclerotic plaques, and preventing death from cardiovascular disease."

History of Coronary Artery Disease,
Hypertension, and Elevated Cholesterol
July 2003
"Thank you for giving heart disease patients like myself hope for a future without heart disease. Though I didn't find your product until after undergoing a recommended three-vessel coronary artery bypass surgery in 2002, I began your product Heart Technology the day I returned home from the hospital and have since had amazing results with my cholesterol, as follows:
Before starting the Pauling therapy: Total Cholesterol 242. LDL Cholesterol 163.
Doctor's Comments Before: "There's no proof that nutritional supplements can lower cholesterol or help with heart disease. You need to be taking a statin drug."
After being on the Pauling therapy for eight months: Total Cholesterol 164. LDL Cholesterol 101.
Doctor's Comments After: "This is remarkable! I've never seen such a drop in the numbers. If cardiologists knew this, they would be recommending this to all their patients."

Fiance With Elevated Cholesterol and a History of Coronary Artery Disease With Triple Bypass Surgery
April 2001
1. My fiance Bill had his first heart attack on March 17, 2002 and a second heart attack 10 days later on March 27, 2002.
2. Following emergency triple bypass surgery on the early morning of March 28 and his subsequent return home from the hospital, we started Bill on Tower Heart Technology in mid-April of 2002 at only one jar per month. In December of 2001, prior to his heart attacks and subsequent by-pass surgery, Bill's numbers had been Cholesterol 242 and LDL Cholesterol 163.
3. When his cholesterol numbers were read on May 7, 2002, his numbers were Cholesterol 182, LDL Cholesterol 116, and we attributed the drop from his pre-heart attack readings to Heart Technology, which he had been on steadily since mid-April of 2002.
4. After using Heart Technology for the next couple of months and a VERY STRICT low fat diet, his numbers were read again on July 12, 2002, and they were climbing. The readings were Cholesterol 208 and LDL Cholesterol 123. We then realized that his numbers on May 7, 2002 following his surgery may have been low because he had received many, many units of blood during the bypass surgery. At that point I discussed the Heart Technology formula Bill was taking with his doctor. His doctor said to me, "That's not proven. There are no statistics for that (vitamin C/lysine as in H.T.)." Facing medical advice to begin a statin cholesterol lowering drug, Bill decided to continue Heart Technology against his doctors advice.
5. We were disappointed during Bill's November 26, 2002 appointment because according to the lab reports, his numbers had soared back up after being on 1 jar of Heart Technology per month for seven months. After reviewing the Linus Pauling video on Heart Disease - A Unified theory and reviewing the literature with Owen Fonorow, we decided to remain on Heart Technology, and even to bump up his intake. This again against the advice of Bill's doctor, who still insisted that Bill could not lower his numbers sufficiently except with a statin cholesterol lowering drug.
6. On November 30, 2002 following that office visit and the poor lab results, Bill decided to double his dosage and began taking two jars of the Tower Heart Technology per month plus and additional 2,000 mg. of an another vitamin C powdered supplement from Bronson Labs. For the next 8 months Bill faithfully remained on this regimen (8,000 mg. of ascorbic acid and 5,200 mg. of L-lysine, proline and other Heart Technology ingredients), split into morning and evening doses.
7. On July 7, 2003, Bill had another checkup and additional lab work. To our wonderment and surprise, his Cholesterol had dropped from 246 to 164 and his LDL Cholesterol had dropped from 163 to 101, all on 2 jars of Heart Technology per month plus 2,000 mg. additional ascorbic acid.
8. Bill's doctor at the VA Hospital was so astonished that he called in several other staff from the clinic, including their nutritionist, and they questioned Bill, asking him to be specific about what he was doing to get his numbers so low. When the answers to "Lifestyle change?" "Diet change?" and "Exercising?" were all "No," Bill proceeded once again to cite the benefits he had observed on the larger dose of Tower Heart Technology.
Some of his doctor's comments at that visit were:
"What you have done to get your numbers like this?"
"This is remarkable. I haven't seen such a drop in the numbers."
"If cardiologists knew this, they would be recommending this to all their patients."
"I'm still skeptical but I want to check it out."
After a discussion about the benefits of his experience with Heart Technology, Bill gave his doctor a Tower product brochure and a printout of the "Reader's Digest Version" of the Pauling Therapy. We also recommended that he (the doctor) check out the Web site.
After that, we observed Bill's doctor to be reading the brochure and other literature when walking up and down the hall to and from his office.

History of Elevated Cholesterol, Severe
Coronary Artery Disease With Heart
Attacks, Chest Pain, Angioplasty, Stent
Placement, Double Bypass, and
Recurring Heart Attacks and Blockages
Sep 2001
"Hi, my name is Gary Rehs, I'm currently 63 years old. In March 1989, at the age of 49, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I was having trouble with high cholesterol (400 ) and high triglycerides (600). Then, in January 1991 I had a major heart attack.
After my release from the hospital, the following Tuesday morning I began having another attack. I had been scheduled for an angiogram but at that point the doctors realized that I needed to be transferred to a hospital that could do angioplasty. That afternoon an ambulance took me to one of the best heart hospitals in the nation. Emergency angiplasty was performed that evening.
I was admitted to the hospital again and another angioplasty was performed that following Tuesday, exactly one week after the first angioplasty. The night before my scheduled release from the hospital I began having minor heart attacks. I had to be slotted into a surgical bypass waiting list. While waiting, I kept having minor heart attacks. It got so bad at times that the emergency cardiac team, paddles and all stood at my bedside until the attack subsided.
The surgery (double bypass) was a success. I was released from the hospital within seven days of surgery.
In December 1995 I had another heart attack, my cholesterol was still (300) and my triglycerides were (425) at that time. I had to have another angioplasty. The doctors could only find one bypass working. They were surprised to learn that one of the bypasses had atrophied and that the vein that was bypass had opened up. In fact, the doctor kept asking me if I was sure I had double bypass surgery. He said this was due to my continued exercise and low fat diet. I was again sent home with more Medicine.
In June of 2000 I had another heart attack, I was admitted to the hospital (ICU) unit. I was then told I needed three stents implanted two in the (R C A area) 1-4.0 x 18 M M and 1-3.5 x 23 M M. I was told that I would have to come back for the third stent in three or four months, as it was too dangerous to perform that many at one time. I returned to the hospital in September because of severe chest pains. Scar tissue had caused some blockage. The doctors then implanted the third stent and cleaned out the artery with a special cutting tool (rotor-rooter). The doctor said I might have to come back down the road because of possibility of scar tissue build up.
In between June and September time frame while at my local health food store. I began explaining my situation (I was running out of options) and the owner suggested a new product which he had justed recently stocked. He told me that one of his customers; a heart patient bought a whole case. This customer told him, that he had to have angioplasty every six months or so. His customer told him that he hasn't been back to see his cardiologists in over a year now. He didn't have any chest pains and his health had greatly improved. I asked him what the product was. He told me the product was based on a formula of Dr. Linus Pauling. The product was called Tower Heart Formula. I purchased my first jar and three weeks later I purchased My second jar and so on.
It was the first part of December 2000, that I decided to look up Linus Pauling on the internet because I was having trouble getting Towers Heart Formula. The store couldn't keep it in stock. That's when I found Tower's web page. I decided to sign up for the auto ship program and a distributorship.
On December 18, 2000, I started with tightness in my chest and thought I might have a build-up of scar tissue starting. I was then scheduled for an angiogram. The angiogram proved negative, no scar tissue, no blockage, and everything looked good. I think it must have been a case of nerves or a slight case of indigestion, not sure; but it sure wasn't Heart trouble! Thank GOD!
I waited a few months to make sure the Towers Heart Formula was working for me. I then decided to spread the good news. It's working.
As of this present time, September 1, 2001, I am free of chest pains. My cholesterol is 245. My triglycerides 176. My LP(a) 10. My sugar ranges between 99 - 130. I take no medicine for Diabetes. I take no Heart medicine, no zorcor, tricor, toprol, micardis, microzide, amaryl and actos. My blood pressure is down from 170/95 to 142/82 .
I'm still mending and improving every day with GOD'S and Tower's help, I'm going to make it! I'm proud to be part of the Tower family and to Linus Pauling (if you're looking down) a big thank you."
Update June 2003
"I'll be going in for major back surgery the 27th of this month. I'll be laid up for about 3 or 4 weeks flat on my back, no getting up except to go to the bath room. Sounds great doesn't it? He was piqued because I haven't seen him for over 2 years! After starting Heart Technology :-) So I had the test done. I used the exercise bicycle instead of the tread mill, because of my back and legs. The doctor couldn't understand why I didn't have more cholesterol buildup in my arteries and told me that I had a narrowing in one place of my artery; but under stress it didn't change at all, so every thing was all right and he OK'd the operation."
Pauline (Sarah) Sowders
History of Quadruple Bypass in 2002 for Diagnosed Coronary Artery Disease With Difficult Recuperation and Problems on Cholesterol Medications
November 8, 2004
"My name is Pauline (Sarah) Sowders. I am 62 years old and had quadruple heart bypass surgery March 2002. Had incredibly difficult time recuperating. Disagreed with my doctor on treatment regarding statin drugs. My problems with statins were muscle cramps, severe joint pain, stomach pain, depression and nerve problems which finally caused me to take a medical leave from my job this past March. Some time ago a friend recommended taking the following supplements instead of prescription drugs:
Fish Oil Pills 1,000 mg - 6/day
Red Yeast Rice 600 mg - 4/day
Vitamin E 400 mg - 1/day
Folic Acid 400 mg - 2/day
I felt no significant change.
Sept 1st of this year I found the following statement on a web site (can't remember where but thank GOD!). "Try this - guaranteed to lower cholesterol at least 18% in six weeks." . . . Vitamin C . . . L-Lysine, . . . CoQ10.
I began taking this combo in addition to the Fish Oil etc. on Sept 12 of this year. I'm not sure if the fish oil regimen in combination with the vit. C made a difference or if it was just the Vitamin C regimen. But, after only two weeks I began feeling like a new person. For the first time in years I wanted to do things that I had to force myself to do only a few days before. I began cleaning, cooking, sewing, working in the yard - just could not figure out how to work everything into each short day. I actually enjoy getting up in the morning.
I found the Tower Heart Technology™ web site a few days after I discovered this vitamin C stuff works. Really was having trouble swallowing 24 vitamin pills per a plus a blood thinner and baby aspirin. My regimin is now as follows: (so simple)
Two scoops Heart Tech in A.M., 2 fish oil capsules, 1 CoQ10,
Two scoops Heart Tech in P.M., 2 fish oil capsules.
Have stopped the blood thinner and baby aspirin. (NO MORE BRUISES! THANK YOU LORD!)
My blood test results from May 2004 and October 2004 follow. (LDL dropped from 203 to 161 and total cholesterol dropped from 290 to 248).
I had been off statin drugs for approximately 3 months before each test. The October test was done after being on vitamin C for one month. Both my doctor and I were thrilled about the latest test results, until he discovered that I was not taking any prescription drugs, at which time he said, "Youre playing Russian roulette you know." Maybe so, but I doubt it. I feel wonderful and the proof is in the puddin."

History of Elevated Cholesterol with a !00% Blockage of the LAD and Subsequent Triple Bypass in 1986. Recurrence of Chest Pain Years Later. Angina Continues With Concurrent Fiber.
March 2002
"I am age 58. At age 42 I had a triple by-pass after my Left-Anterior Decending coronary artery was found to be 100% blocked. I credit EDTA Chelation with then saving my life.
I have started the Pauling Therapy a couple of months ago, now 17 years after the surgery, and so far my angina continues during/after "moderate" exertion, and also when first lying in bed [ usually after a heavy meal ]. But I'm very committed to seeing this Pauling therapy process to at the least a fair [i.e. six tub ] trial. I understand and also believe what I've "studied" re: this "stuff" We'll simply have to wait and see.
P.s. I have been taking Heart Technology along with a high fiber product, and my cholesterol has dropped 100 points. But I am worried that perhaps the fiber has leached onto some of the components in HT. In the future, I will take these products at different times of the day to avoid interference and see whether that improves efficacy for Angina."
September 2003
Update After Stopping the Fiber with Vitamin C/lysine
"The Pauling powder as I like to refer to it continues to amaze me. As an 18 year veteran of bypass surgery I confound my doctor with my health. No chest pains whatsoever when using the powder regularly! I'll say a prayer for my doctor at his funeral. [He's younger by 8-10 years so I'm safe in saying this!] Go Packers, crush da Bears!!"

History of Aneurysm and Elevated Cholesterol
October 2008
Several years ago I was diagnosed with aneurysms that resembled bubbles in my arteries in two places. Because the areas were too sensitive for stenting or bypass surgery, I was required to make some lifestyle changes and "behave myself" with regard to cholesterol, diet, etc. in hopes of avoiding worsening problems. At that time my cholesterol was also elevated (just under 300) with a very bad HDL to LDL ratio.
Then I discovered the Pauling therapy. My family doctor of 30 years was willing to work with me and I started on Tower's Heart Technology formula at the rate of one jar per month. Before starting on the Pauling therapy I had made some lifestyle changes and done some other things to help bring my cholesterol down but it was only after adding Tower's Heart Technology formula to my regimen that I began to notice a definite drop in my cholesterol. Thanks to this product my cholesterol is now 120 or 130 on one jar a month of and my doctor and I are both very happy with the results.
