Linus Pauling (chemist) was awarded a US patent on a cure for heart disease. His formula consisted of large daily doses of Vitamin C (he used ascorbic acid) and L-Lysine, an amino acid. Later, after Pauling's death, another chemist proposed adding L-Proline (another amino acid), which improved the efficacy of the formula.
Go to the Linus Pauling Institute website for more info.
Beware the many expensive product lines that claim to be Pauling's formula... they're hugely expensive and no better than just buying the ingredients yourself.

Yeah, Linus Pauling is how I found out about lysine.
@Maizy, look up "John Ellis water testimonials" to see what this stuff is about.
