& REVIEWS Earth. We have much yet to learn about ancient metrology so we may better come to terms with our past—and our future. odhowk related 10 the bess af Vitamin C. lor the Medleat. Yetertnary, Publle Heaith Representatives and all concerned with Punile Health vitamin C and its therapeutic benefits, this compilation is very accessible reading. Drs Archie Kalokerinos, Glen Dettman and Ian Dettman have painstakingly sorted through thousands of research articles, books and personal communications writ- ten this century about vitamin C, and extracted the key data to give a broad and, indeed, exciting overview of the ‘miracles’ that this ascorbic acid molecule can per- form—'miracles’ that have too often been overlooked by the orthodox medical world. * The good doctors have subtitled this book "Nature's Miraculous Healing Missile” because they see vitamin C as a ‘magic bul- let’ which, when used intelligently and cor- rectly, has myriad applications in treating an astounding range of ailments. The ascorbic acid molecule, vitamin C, is an extremely simple carbon-hydrogen-oxy- gen combination with a very low molecular weight. Because of this, it has found its way into hundreds of metabolic pathways within our bodies. Clinical research has shown that the human diet can accommo- date daily megadoses of up to 8,000 mg in some cases—far more than the unrealistic ‘recommended daily dose’ of 20 to 50 mg! This text is on the way to becoming the standard reference on vitamin C/ascorbate and ascorbate-related health problems. Medical practitioners, particularly those working in cancer and cot-death areas, should make a point of obtaining this book. BOOKS ence of weights and measures in ancient times—a fascinating subject much side- stepped by mainstream archaeologists, for the deeper one delves, as Mr Lenzen has discovered, the more one finds the roots of civilisation extending far, far back into ‘pre-history'. Donald Lenzen opens with a question, “Was Erathosthenes right?". While the mid-third century BC Greek astronomer is credited with being the first man to deter- mine the Earth's circumference, he was only testing information he learned while chief librarian at the great Library of Alexandria! He had "simply rediscovered knowledge that had been known long before his time"—commendable work for a chief librarian in anyone's language. Similarities in all ancient metrology sys- tems—Sumerian, Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, Hebrew, Roman—seem to point to a common, more ancient source. The Greeks, for example, recorded the exis- tence of the Oikoumenikos, a worldwide civilisation that flourished long before their own—Atlantis by another name. T's uncanny the way the same numbers and symbols crop up across cultures—and across space, if we consider the geometric relationships between the Face and arte- facts on Mars and their counterparts on VITAMIN C: Nature's Miraculous Healing Missile!
