  May 13, 1968

  Dear Mrs. Hull:

  I thank you for writing to me about my article Orthomolecular Psychiatry.

  I am sending you a copy of the article under separate cover.

  I think that it is likely that part of the cause of poor health of people nowadays is the contamination of the environment by insecticides and other toxic chemical substances. Some fertilizers are, I believe, not in this category; for example, ammonia, ammonium nitrate, calcium phosphate, and some other substances are normal constituents of the environment, and can be effective even though they have been made in chemical plants from other substances.

  A main point of my paper is that a diet that would ordinarily be considered to be a satisfactory one may still not contain the optimum amounts of various vital substances, such as the vitamins that I mentioned in my paper, and that for some people an improvement in mental health could be achieved by providing much larger amounts of these vitamins than are ordinarily recommended.

  Sincerely,

  Linus Pauling
