Pioneer of the Homocysteine Theory : Exploring Homocysteine and the Causes of Arteriosclerosis, Cancer and Aging -- a Memoir of Discovery, Exile and Redemption

This personal scientific memoir describes how a chance observation concerning artery disease in children with rare inherited abnormalities of metabolism, often called experiments of nature, led to the discovery of a new theory of heart disease, cancer and diseases of ageing. As explained in subsequent chapters, this new theory places the amino acid homocysteine at the heart of altered metabolism of diseases of ageing.
