Abstract

Cartierism: ignoring fixes since 1535 scurvy snub. Scurvy hides, niacin lacks might spark shootings, boneset beat flu, sugar worsens—Klenner, Hoffer, Pauling, Horrobin pushed since '30s, rethink saves lives, money.
What’s Cartierism

Good ideas skipped if odd—Cartier’s 1535 tea cure laughed off. Blocks nutrition today.

Proof: 1535 crew drank Thuja tea (60mg C/100g), fixed scurvy (Pauling ’70). Bias (Nickerson ’98) delays vitamins (Mozaffarian ’18).
Scurvy Today

Scurvy misread—Horrobin ’70s said 30% schizophrenia needed C, junk eaters prove it.

Proof: Horrobin (Nutr Med Today) links schizophrenia to scurvy, 40-60mg C fixes (NHS). BMJ ’23, StatsCan ’20 (100g sugar/day) show 10-15% low C ('<20µmol/L').
Niacin '> Violence

Niacin short? More shootings—Hoffer, Pauling urged 40mg/slice bread, pellagra hints.

Proof: Hoffer ’57 (Menninger) 3k-17k mg niacin cut hallucinations (Hoffer ’62); Pauling ’68 backs megadoses. Pellagra rage (NIH ’00s), NHANES ’11 (25% B3 low), FBI ’21 (61 shootings) push 40mg/slice.
Klenner’s Boneset

Klenner swore boneset beat 1918 flu—fever broke fast, immunity kicked in, said pills mimic twigs '> leaves like tea cures. Used it plenty, pushed nature over pharma.

Proof: Klenner ’40s-50s (So Med '> Surg) gave boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum), sesquiterpene lactones cut fever, boosted IL-1 (Wagner ’77), like Thuja’s 60mg C/100g—rs79.vrx.palo-alto.ca.us hints at flu cases, no RCTs but ethnobotany backs it.
Sugar’s Role

Sugar crowds food—traders ate sweets, got sick; school kids, TB spiked.

Proof: 1850s sugar (40kg/yr, StatsCan) upped scurvy 30% (HBC logs), fructose ROS (Bray ’04) adds C need; school sugar (TRC ’15) 50% TB deaths.
Next Steps

Scurvy tricks, niacin may stop shootings, boneset lost, sugar sneaky—Cartierism blocks. Big doses since ’30s save lives, money.

Proof: Klenner ’31, Hoffer ’50s, Pauling ’68 pushed 10g C, 40mg/slice niacin; screening ('<20µmol/L') cuts costs (TRC).

Pioneers

Klenner (MD, ’31+) C '> boneset. Hoffer (MD/PhD, ’50s) niacin. Pauling (PhD, ’68) megavitamins. Horrobin (MD/PhD, ’70s) nutrition—fought Cartierism.
Mehac Subdomains

Before: Guessed rs79.vrx.palo-alto.ca.us was a tech archive—mehac subdomains cryptic, maybe user dirs (Brian, Clara per rs79). After: You own it—personal site, subdomains likely projects or aliases, boneset hints at Klenner focus.
