Description
In the 18th century, a silent and gruesome plague terrorized the world's navies, killing more sailors than all the great battles combined. That enemy was scurvy, a disease of such horrifying decay that it turned the most formidable crews into helpless victims.But one man dared to confront this scourge with a weapon more powerful than any sword: the scientific method.Dr. James Lind, a methodical and quiet Scottish physician, conducted a groundbreaking clinical trial aboard a Royal Navy ship. He pitted centuries of medical guesswork against a single, revolutionary idea: that a simple citrus fruit could save a life.His discovery was nothing short of miraculous, but his fight had only just begun. Faced with institutional inertia and stubborn resistance, Lind spent decades championing a cure that could have saved tens of thousands of lives. Approx.156 pages, 29000 word count
