I love writing and learning new things in order to better educate those in need. I also enjoy hackathons and adventures around the world.

Dr Robert Cathcart MD - Dr. Archie Kalokerinos, no SIDS with Vitamin C, Every Second Child
Archivides "Archie" Kalokerinos (28 September 1927 – 1 March 2012) was an Australian physician. In 2000 he was awarded the title Greek Australian of the Century by the Melbourne-based Greek newspaper Neos Kosmos. He held controversial opinions on a number of medical issues. He was a supporter of Linus Pauling's controversial theory that many diseases result from overproduction of free radicals and can accordingly be prevented or cured by Vitamin C; this led him to treat many conditions with high intravenous doses of vitamin C. He also believed that vaccination schemes have been used for deliberate genocide (among indigenous Australians, and in spreading HIV in Africa); and that the US government systematically planned to get rid of undesirables such as criminals by encouraging people with known heart problems to be vaccinated.
Archivides Kalokerinos was born in Glen Innes, Australia, on 28 September 1927 (he was named after the Greek hero Alcibiades, but during translation the spelling was mistaken). Kalokerinos took his MD degree from Sydney University in 1951 and then spent six years in England. On his return to Australia he was appointed Medical Superintendent of the hospital at Collarenebri, a town 500 miles (800 km) north-west of Sydney. He died in 2012.
Vitamin C work
Kalokerinos became very concerned about the high death rate of Aboriginal children in that part of New South Wales. He came to the conclusion that the infants had symptoms of scurvy, a deficiency of vitamin C, and he treated them accordingly. The double Nobel prize winner Linus Pauling in the foreword to Kalokerinos' book Every Second Child endorsed his views.
