...helium atom, as is possible at the sun's center temperature of 20,000,000° Centigrade, there is a loss of 0.0286 units of atomic weight. It is this mass which is converted into energy, according to Einstein's relativity formulas. On this principle, for each gram of the sun's hydrogen there would be about 55,000 kilowatt hours of available energy...

In an interview last fortnight he listed other recent uses for vitamin C: intravenous injection of one gram in solution for shock (another instance when blood histamine is high); in wound healing; for insomnia; in treating industrial workers exposed to toxic dusts.
