Dr. Pauling theory does focus on L-ascorbic acid, but his unified theory relies on L-Lysine as well.
Not one published study that claims to refute Dr. Pauling's unified theory ever used the amount of L-ascorbic acid he recommended, or included L-lysine as part of the study. Dr. Pauling's unified theory has specific guideline amounts, as MG per KG of body weight for both L-ascorbic acid and L-lysine. It would be trivial to actually test Dr. Pauling's theory, but so far everyone has felt the need to alter his recommendations and then test their alteration and then claim victory.
It's easy to knock down a straw man, and even easier to revel in the success.
