TCRA 的小夥伴們 - 阿檬與丁丁
在18世紀前的帆船時代，水手們容易患得壞血病，症狀像是倦怠乏力，肌肉痠痛，牙齦、皮下出血等⋯，此病也稱為水手病。 1747年5月20日，詹姆斯.林德（James Lind）醫師決心要找出解決方法來改善水手症狀，他在船上挑選12名壞血病患者，以兩人一組分別進行不同治療。有兩人服用蘋果酒，兩人使用稀硫酸治療，另外兩個人每天服用兩勺醋三次，狀況最糟的兩個人則是海水治療，有兩個人被建議使用電療 （也有人說是瀉藥或芥末混合物），最後兩人是使用柳橙跟檸檬。其中服用柳橙跟檸檬的水手在6天以後就能正常工作，其次為蘋果酒。
成功治療壞血病水手的詹姆斯.林德醫師在1753年在愛丁堡出版有關壞血病的論文（Treatise on Scurvy)，這也是歷史上最早的分組對照人體試驗。 阿檬與丁丁兩個TCRA小夥伴就是由臨床先驅的小故事中的檸檬和柳丁而來，來看看他們的小檔案吧！
