<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>WELCOME to the Third Annual
Orthomolecular Medicine Hall of Fame inductions, what some like to call the
“Orthomolecular Oscars.” Tonight, once again, we shall see who will take home
the “Orthie.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Orthomolecular nutritional
therapy has sometimes been called “complementary” medicine. Might that
therefore make conventional pharmaceutical-based therapy “insulting” or
“rude” medicine? Orthomolecular medicine is the only segment of the healing
arts to be given its name by a double Nobel prize winner. Linus Pauling
stated that orthomolecular means the “right molecules.” In time, I think
allopathic medicine will be more widely known as toximolecular. Since a
drug-based approach introduces molecules that are foreign or “wrong,” perhaps
even “naughty-molecular.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>The old paradigm of
medicine is represented in a story Mark Twain tells of a doctor at the
bedside of a very sick, elderly lady. The doctor told her that she must stop
drinking, cussing and smoking. The lady said that she'd never done any
of those things in her entire life. The doctor responded, "Well, that's
your problem, then. You've neglected your habits." Twain added:
"She was like a sinking ship with no freight to throw overboard." Perhaps
some of that “freight” would be an old-fashioned ignorance of nutritional
medicine. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Now let’s consider another
and quite different elderly woman: a woman taking niacin for 42 years, and
still cross country skiing at the age of 110. This is a real person, an
actual long-time patient of Dr. Abram Hoffer. Clearly, here is a new
paradigm. How very different from the Henny Youngman story: “So this guy’s
doctor told him he had six months to live.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'>
</span>The guy said he couldn’t pay his bill.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'>
</span>The doctor gave him another six months.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>One of the purposes of the
Orthomolecular Medicine Hall of Fame is to educate the professions and the
public about the pioneers of high-dose nutritional therapy. (All previous
inductees are profiled at <a href="http://orthomolecular.org/hof/index.shtml">http://orthomolecular.org/hof/index.shtml</a>
) To take this even further, the Orthomolecular Medicine News Service was
started in March 2005. OMNS issues press releases spotlighting the safety and
effectiveness of vitamins and other nutrients. Now, after just over one year,
nearly 6,000 subscribers, including 3,000 broadcast and print news media,
regularly receive OMNS press releases. You can read them all at <a

building in town, was originally a hotel. Local groups still hold A.A.
meetings right there, every week. Another nearby house, across the

it was dedicated as the Griffith Library, and now holds the Alcoholics

had once called Bill W. "the greatest social architect of our

Important People of the Century. In their feature article about him, there is
not a single mention of the word niacin, or vitamin, or even of nutrition.
Interestingly, decades earlier, Bill W. had been offered the opportunity to
have his picture on the cover of <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Time </i>magazine.
He declined. To this day, selective history records AA’s 12-Step Program, but

Dr. Sackler, to us, is best known as the founder, publisher, and

Dr Sackler. It was in the Tribune where I first learned about Dr Ruth

orthomolecular medical pioneer who served for five decades as a beloved, and
very busy, family doctor. He was a friend of Linus Pauling. The Calgary
Herald eulogized him as “a devoted father and husband.” Dr. Vogel's wife Vera
said that he asked her to marry him 49 years ago after only three dates. She
agreed on one condition: That he still take me dancing I when I was 70. He
said yes.” The newspaper added: “Dr. Vogel’s son Victor, a <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City

children, said he began to understand his father's influence when he visited
his own doctor and asked about the effectiveness of vitamin therapy. He said,

"megavitamin" doses are safe and remarkably effective, even
offering improvement in Down Syndrome children. Her trials were successful
because her team gave LD kids much larger doses of vitamins than other
researchers: over 100 times the ADULT (not child's) RDA for riboflavin; 37
times the RDA for niacin (given as niacinamide); 40 times the RDA for vitamin
E; and 150 times the RDA for thiamin. Dr. Harrell anticipated that her
use of megadoses would result in "controversy and brickbats."<span

studies conducted to "replicate" Dr. Harrell's work seemingly could
not do so. Yet Harrell's "replicators" failed to adhere to her
protocol, and consequently but not surprisingly, failed to get her results.
F. Jack Warner, MD, writes: "Even today many medical professionals scoff
at the validity of Dr. Ruth Harrell's study with nutritional supplements and
the important addition of thyroid medication. Dr. Harrell pleaded with her
replicators to use exactly the same chemical values of supplements and medications.

think he saw us for the first time." This little boy went on to do very
well in his learning, and eventually tested with an IQ of ninety, which an

their large IQ gains which are the crucial and so far unexplained difference

hotel where there were many guests. One afternoon, I was asked whether I
would like to be made an honorary Maori chief. When I discovered that
all I had to do was to be there, I agreed. Later in the afternoon, in the
large lobby with Rose and a swarm of hotel guests, the doorman, who was
a Maori, started the solemn ceremony. I stood in front of him
very respectfully. He began to talk to some one, silently, using his
facial expressions and contortions. I was then told that he was
cleansing me of any evil spirits. He did not tell me that he had seen
any, and I was too cowardly to ask, but this was an important precaution
as no one with evil spirits was going to be given that honor. After he had
cleansed me, he stepped forward and threw a rather large, and, I hope,
dull sword which fell in front of me. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

immense practical value of what Dr. Hoffer discovered. Dr. Hoffer was right,
and his work has benefited millions of people worldwide.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

psychiatry. He has changed the course of medicine for all time. His twenty
books and over 500 scientific papers have yet to convince everybody, but they
have well taught all of us here. We who have seen the benefits will tell
everybody. Such momentum is unstoppable. Tonight, I speak for everyone here
when I say that we will not rest until nutritional medicine is the healing

before a truly new medical idea is accepted. Perhaps in the case of
megavitamin therapy, maybe its three generations. Great ideas in medicine, or
anywhere else, are never self-evident. At least not unless a brilliant mind
sees more than others have seen, and has the courage to speak out in the
teeth of some often surprisingly bitter professional adversity. As a college
lecturer, I learned some years ago that if you want to clear the department's
lunch room in a hurry, just say something positive about megavitamin therapy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

font-family:Arial'>(1921 – 2001)<br>
<br>
I raised my children into adulthood without their ever requiring a single
dose of any antibiotic, and I have Dr. Lendon H. Smith to thank for it. A
student came up to me one day after lecture and placed a slim paperback into
my hands, saying “You have to read this!” The little book was Lendon
Smith’s Clinical Guide to the Use of Vitamin C: The Clinical Experiences of
Frederick R. Klenner, M.D. Since Dr. Klenner’s work had previously been hard
to find, Dr. Smith did the world a service in collecting and summarizing it
into a mere 57 pages of astounding reading. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Lendon Smith was perhaps among the most courageous of
physicians, as he was one of the first to unambiguously support high-dose
vitamin regimens for children. Such a position did not endear Smith to every
one of his fellow members of the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">American</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Academy</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> of Pediatrics,
and it is therefore further to his credit that he boldly stepped forward and,
in the best traditions of Linus Pauling, took orthomolecular therapy directly
to the people. In this he was particularly successful, achieving renown
by way of his newsletter entitled The Facts, and his many popular books,
articles, videos and primetime television appearances. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>And yet it was not until over 20 years of medical practice
that Dr. Smith first began to use megavitamin therapy. A patient “wanted me
to give her a vitamin shot,” he writes of an alcoholic woman from 1973. “I
had never done such a useless thing in my professional life, and I was a
little embarrassed to think that she considered me to be the kind of doctor
who would do that sort of thing.” (Feed Yourself Right, 1983, xiii-xiv) <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>“That sort of thing” consisted of an intramuscular
injection of 0.5 cc of B-complex, which, Smith reported, proved successful
enough such that “she walked past three bars and didn’t have to go in.”
This was the beginning of his evolution from conventional pediatrician to
orthomolecular spokesperson. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Dr. Smith couldn’t have cared less about his critics. By
1979, he was a New York Times bestselling author, and by 1983 an advocate of
four-day water fasts, 1,000 microgram injections of B-12, and megavitamins
for kids. Specifically, he urged “an intake of vitamin C of about 1,000
milligrams per day for each year of life up to 5,000 mgs at age five. A baby
should get 100 mg per day per month of age.” He was an outspoken critic
of junk food. Among his trademark phrases were, “People tend to eat the food
to which they are sensitive.” And: “If you love something, it is probably bad
for you.” And: “If we continue to eat store-bought food, we will have
store-bought teeth.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>

I lived only minutes from Weston Priory. I used to go there on my day off and
help the monks with their cider pressing. Years later, I taught in two
parochial secondary schools, alongside Catholic sisters. There was one I
recall in particular: the junior high school music teacher. She was a short
person, devout, modest and kind. She also had a wonderful sense of humor. At
a rather serious Catholic educators’ AIDS conference (this was the early days
of AIDS publicity, and fear was high), she said, “I have an AIDS joke.” And
then, she told it. “By a condo, and avoid the intersection.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>In her book, “Schizophrenia Cured,” Ursuline Sister
Theresa Feist has presented all who wish to know with the way out of
schizophrenia. Until I read her book, I had never seen an appreciation of
orthomolecular medicine illustrated with prayerful line drawings and Biblical
quotes. May I say that I like the presentation very much. Here is the
testimony of a woman who has chosen a life of selfless service. In the early
1970’s, she experiences the depths of mental distress. Then, after a no-sugar
diet and niacin supplementation three times a day, she experiences cure in 19
days flat.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>She publishes her story,
and then proceeds to write a second book, “Spirituality and Holistic Living.”
Then she goes on to found and operate a residential facility which, in the
good Quaker tradition that Dr Abram Hoffer has often mentioned, offers
compassionate care and good food to those most in need. It is called the
Flaman-Morris Home, Inc, and is located in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Lebret</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">Saskatchewan</st1:State></st1:place>.
With a small but dedicated staff, it offers up to eight people at a time
nutrition for body, mind and spirit. Think of it as an orthomolecular retreat
house. Sister knows something about managing a retreat house, she being one
of twelve children.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Abram Hoffer has written, “The “Sister Teresa Feists” of
the world are the people who move mankind.”<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'>
</span>Sister writes directly to the heart, saying: “There is no reason why
information should be withheld from the public. There is no reason why
government support should not be swift in coming. There is no reason why I
should not tell my story. Read it, please, and pass it on.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

restoration. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Alcoholic’s Anonymous, and co-edited with Linus Pauling. He received the
Huxley Award, 1979, for “Inestimable Contribution to the Alleviation of Human
Suffering.” This year, he was honored as an American Psychiatric
Association’s 50-Year Distinguished Life Fellow. Given all this serious and

font-family:Arial'>He confessed this to all the world in 1996, when he wrote
“Goodbye, Scorpion; Farewell, Black Widow Spider.” In this book, he returned
to his boyhood hobby as an amateur entomologist, producing what one reviewer
called “a colloquial and often humorous relation of his battles with and
eventual triumph over these dangerous arachnid pests.”<br>
<br>
Hawkins writes: ”One day I reached into the kitchen sink to pick out what
looked like a rubber band. Just as I was about to grab it, the rubber band
suddenly came alive, and that arched tail, poised to strike, got my
attention. . . . Over the next ten years, I talked to many people and read a
lot of books. Nobody could suggest much of anything. So I decided to do it
myself. In this book you will learn how to capture your own local monsters.
If you are a "scorpiophile" and want to cart them off to a safe
refuge somewhere, that is up to you - be my guest. In my opinion, the best
place for scorpions is encased in plastic paperweights. As you can see, I am
a true scorpiophobe!”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

font-family:Arial'>In recent years, and on other topics, of course, Dr.
Hawkins has been praised by Wal-Mart Founder Sam Walton, former Chrysler
