Dr Roger J Williams, PhD
Dr. ROGER J. WILLIAMS, PhD
Pioneer in Biochemistry,
Nutrition, Biochemical
Individuality,
and Public Education
-
Professor at The University
of Texas at Austin, 1939 to
1986
-
Founded and directed the
Clayton Foundation
Biochemical Institute, 1941
to 1963
-
Discovered the B-vitamin,
Pantothenic Acid, and
concentrated and named Folic
Acid
-
Wrote 21 books and nearly
300 articles
-
Elected to the National
Academy of Sciences, 1946
-
President of the American
Chemical Society, 1957
Other Institute discoveries of
public interest: Two of the
three forms of vitamin B6,
lipoic acid, avidin, folinic
acid, synthesis of vitamin B12,
and pioneering work on inositol.
After his discovery of
pantothenic acid and the
successful launching of the
Clayton Foundation Biochemical
Institute in 1940, Williams
turned much of his attention to
educating the public and the
medical profession about the
importance of nutrition and
biochemical individuality. His
books such as Nutrition
Against Disease, Biochemical
Individuality, The Wonderful
World Within You, and The
Prevention of Alcoholism had
wide impact. They helped inspire
the current explosion of
nutrition research, and they
strongly influenced many
prominent leaders such Linus
Pauling, Wayne Jonas (former
director, NIH Office of
Alternative Medicine), Jonathan
Wright, Alan Gaby, Abram Hoffer,
Jeffrey Bland, Carl Pfeiffer,
and Hugh D. Riordan.
Williams’s writings remain
popular today, because of his
deep insight into basic
principles, his originality, and
his clear writing.
I
believe that many of the
medications we take hasten our
demise and don't bring us the
hope we expect. Most of the time
you hear physicians say that
they help you cope, but offer
little more. (For people whose
health concerns are from a
chemical poisoning in the first
place, this would be especially
true.)
I
believe Dr. Roger J. Williams
may have real hope for help.
Here are 2 books being
ignored by medical science
(for the most part) that
would shed some light on
many medical needs:
Biochemical Individuality:
The Basis for the
Genetotrophic Concept
(1998)
New printing of the 1956
classic, with a new
Introduction by Jeffrey
Bland, new Afterword by
Donald R. Davis, 1988 In
Memoriam by Donald R. Davis,
and expanded index.

A doctor in oncology whom I
respect, Dr Reg McDaniel
says these 2 books helped
him help people more than
the 35 years of training in
regular medicine.

Roger Williams,
Ph.D., pioneer
nutritional
researcher, best
described this
non-pharmaceutical
natural
phenomenon. In
his most
important book,
Nutrition
Against Disease,
1
1971, Dr.
Williams states
that the theme
of his life’s
work and all his
many books on
nutrition is
captured in the
statement,
“The human body
heals itself and
nutrition
provides the
resources to
accomplish the
task.”
Unfortunately,
medical
education gives
very little time
or attention to
nutrition.
Therefore, the
viewpoint that
explains the
benefits
revealed in this
series of papers
requires a
re-education for
health care
professionals.
A number of
fundamental
principles are
required for
comprehension to
grasp the full
importance of
the power of
nutrition to
support health,
prevent disease
and restore
health. The
most basic is an
illustration Dr.
Williams used in
the cited
book. He
describes a
chain on a
table-top in a
coiled-pattern.
At just over
three-quarters
of a turn the
chain rises from
the table-top in
the center to
make a form like
a snake ready to
strike. Each
chain-link is
described as
representing a
nutrient or
element required
for cellular
synthesis. If
all the links or
nutrient units
are present, the
coil can rise
supported by the
other links to
represent the
state of well
being and good
health.
However, if any
element or
nutrient, those
identified and
even those yet
to be
discovered, is
missing,
cellular
synthesis is
compromised and
symptoms and
then diseases
occur. The link
at the point the
chain rises from
the surface is
described as
being the
missing nutrient
or element, and
when absent the
chain falls to
the table top to
symbolize this
nutrient
deficiency
state.
Furthermore, Dr.
Williams stated
that the state
of well being
cannot be
restored until
the missing
nutrient is
supplied. Those
familiar with
iron deficiency
anemia have
observed the
practical
validity of this
illustration.
The language of
the Dietary
Supplement
Health and
Education Act of
1994 (DSHEA)
codifies in
legislation and
the pilot
scientific
observations in
this monograph
validate and
support Dr.
William’s
insight,
understanding,
and decades of
pioneering
research on
nutrition. |
Dr REG
explains why he believes
glyconutrients help
... in
this
trial that uses them for
scleroderma patients.
Still time to enroll and get
free glyconutrients.
