Original stuff

• Taking enough Vitamin C can decrease your vulnerability to and increase your chances of recovering from a terrorist biological, chemical, or nuclear attack
• The Neurotoxin Sleep and Dreams Hypothesis - perhaps explaining why we sleep and dream

Stuff I like

• pdf of 1962 US patent for benfotiamine, a better-absorbed form of thiamine, a.k.a. Vitamin B1 (744kB image pdf)
• Irwin Stone’s Chapter 27:
  • The Stone Morbidity Index: measuring how critically ill a patient is, so you can track how much ascorbate (Vitamin C) to administer and whether they’ll die without it.
  • Ascorbate (Vitamin C) and wounds, bone fractures, and shock.
• Fascinating paper by Dr. Frederick R. Klenner, M.D., summarizing his career in which he used ascorbate (vitamin C) I.V. drip and injections in the treatment of acute illness.
• The Unbearable Bunkness of Stress by Barry Spencer, recommended by Barry J. Marshall, one of the two researchers who discovered (way back in 1982!) that the Helicobacter Pylori bacterium causes stomach ulcer (a problem that thankfully I have never had).
