Hi Lou,

In addition to laughter, Norman Cousins also took 26 GRAMS of Vitamin C
intraveneously daily to reverse all the effects of Ankylosing Spondileitis. He
was the Editor of The Saturday Review at the time. The book is a easy and fun
read. It was originally reviewed in the JAMA although now there is no
mention of his pioneer treatment in any official medical works...including the
Merck manual..... Norman Cousins went on to become the first Director of
UCLA's
Mind Body Institute. He did some amazing work and yet it did not involve any
of Merck's or any other drug company's products so it remains hidden. Just
a little resentment toward the corporate snake oil salesmen here...just a
little...

"Anatomy of an Illness"...by Norman Cousins

Dr. Jim Dohn
