Dear Zif:
Thanks very much for your letter of 5 March. I am glad to have your suggestions about my article on Orthomolecular Psychiatry.
I may mention that long ago. when I gave the Henry Ford Lecture in Detroit, I suggested that artificial enzymes might be made, and perhaps introduced into the human body in some way, for the treatment of phenylketonuria. Another treatment, of course, is to change the gene character of the person, by introducing DNA to permit the synthesis of the enzyme. Both of these prospects are far in the future.
As to my referring to the optimal molecular environment of the mind, I was thinking that the molecules of the brain constitute the environment of the mind. I could say the optimal molecular composition of the brain.
With best regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling
