Acknowledgments
While writing this book I have been like an anesthetized patient numbed by the ongoing urgency to write new pages and oblivious to many of the realities of my surroundings. An absent mind, interruptions, the loss of evenings by the fire and sunny days in the canoe make life difficult for the family of someone trying to write a book. Please join me in thanking my wife, Natalia, for not only putting up with all this but contributing her ideas and editorial skills.
Now that I am in the recovery room you can tell me if what was extracted from me in my operation was able to cure my need to communicate ideas that are not mine but come from various teachers, of whom my patients have been the best. The first, however, was Richard Mayo-Smith, my biology teacher at Phillips Exeter Academy, who rescued me from the illusion that science was all math and facts. He introduced me to the notion of ideas: that what we make of the facts depends on our ability to conceive of a framework in which to see the facts.
The late Linus Pauling based his perceptions about the molecular basis for treatment of illness on two very simple ideas: 1. Everyone is different and 2. Each individual's health benefits from having "the right molecules in the right amounts." His lectures in courses given for physicians at Stanford inspired me to follow medical paths that obey these two precepts, which Dr. Pauling called "orthomolecular medicine" (meaning the "right molecules medicine"). The medical profession's rejection of his notions made it professionally risky to identify oneself as a doctor with

orthomolecular leanings. However, a growing number of health professionals are joining the many lay people who believe that before turning to medications we should attempt to adjust the normal body constituents to match needs for optimal functioning. I hope that a recognition of the orthomolecular implications of much of the current literature in nutritional medicine will lead to a renewed acceptance of orthomolecular medicine.
My friend, Leo Galland, M.D., and I worked together for several years a decade ago. Then and now Leo was a source of ideas and information that have been essential to the foundations of this book.
