Mr. Walter W. Strong
5801 Garford Street
Long Beach 15, California
Dear Mr. Strong:
I have been surprised to see that your letter of 24 October 1956 has remained unanswered on my desk for a long time.
I think that you may well be right in believing that improper food plays some part in causing mental illness. I do not know whether or not there is any evidence that calcium deficiency is an important cause of mental illness.
Are there any papers in the literature that support this thesis? If there are, I should be pleased to have references to them.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling:W
