Guest guest Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 from Ssri-Research : OrthomolecularMedicineA personal life changing experience: Carl Pfeiffer, MD"... The only time I've ever seen an MD change his or her paradigm is whenthey've had a personal life changing experience the way Carl Pfeiffer, MD,PhD (my doctor) did.Pfeiffer was as mainstream as they come before he became an orthomolecularphysician. He was a professor of Pharmacology at University of Wisconsin,and Chief Pharmacologist at the Parke Davis Pharmaceutical Company. He wasnot leading a healthy life. He was obese and had a whopping heart attackwhen he was in his mid 50s from overwork and from not living healthily.He landed in the emergency room of a hospital in Wisconsin in an oxygentent.His doctor was going to put him on a drug that he had helped develop atParke Davis, and when faced with the prospect of actually taking it himself,he balked, and surprised his stunned doctor by putting his foot down andsaying "No way! I'm not taking that!! I KNOW how dangerous that stuff is, Ihelped develop it at Parke Davis!!" So his stunned doctor said "Well,doctor, what do you propose then given that you're on your death bed?"Pfeiffer said "Let me sleep on it, but I'm not taking THAT stuff, there hasGOT to be a BETTER WAY!!!"So he slept on it. In the morning he remembered having read an article aboutniacin, vitamin B-3 being a really good vasodilator that helped circulationand was non toxic being a water soluble vitamin. He recalled that a guy inCanada named Hoffer was an expert in using it. So he contacted Hoffer andfound out how much to take. Hoffer also recommended other nutrientsincluding vitamin C and the amino acid lysine. (see Rath's/Linus Pauling'sprotocol for heart disease http://www.drrath.com )Pfeiffer went on the protocol that Hoffer recommended and stunned hisdoctor, and all of his medical colleagues by walking out of that hospitalunder his own steam just a short time later, like a week or two later.Feeling much better than he had in years, Pfeiffer was so deeply impressedby what Hoffer had shown him, that he very humbly called the Canadian andasked how he could learn what Hoffer knew about nutrition, which isn'ttaught in medical school.Hoffer referred him to his colleague Osmond who ran the New JerseyNeuropsychiatric Institute, and Pfeiffer totally dumped his previous career,he quit his job at Parke Davis and his job with the University, andapprenticed himself to Osmond, making far LESS money in the process, butPfeiffer was one of those rare people to whom money did not matter, hewanted to know the TRUTH, he wanted to HELP people.After a couple of years, he had learned all he could from Osmond, and beinga genius, started his own clinic, the Princeton Brain Bio Center.The man saved the lives of countless other people. One night, long after hisstaff had gone home for the day, Pfeiffer was hunched over a patients chart.He was in his early 80's and still working, he never even consideredretiring, people NEEDED him. He passed away while holding a pen in his hand,trying to help someone."http://www.iahf.com Reply with your street or po box addressto get a sample copy ofThe Holistic Dental Digest PLUS jmittelman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
