<br><b>Dr. Joseph Mercola writes:</b>
<br>
<br>"Dr. Andrew Saul's new book, <i>Niacin: The Real Story</i> is co-written with Abram Hoffer M.D., Ph.D., who published over 600 reports and articles as well as 30 books. Dr. Hoffer's early work led to the use of niacin for schizophrenia and as an cholesterol treatment and successfully treated many thousands of patients with high doses of niacin.
The authors present some very compelling evidence to support treating most psychotic disorders as a vitamin B3 deficiency. Considering it is very inexpensive and has virtually no dangerous side effects, niacin would certainly be worth a consideration for anyone who has a family member with this mental health challenge. <b>I highly recommend picking up this book </b>and learning more about its use."
<br>
<br>
<p><b>NIACIN: THE REAL STORY </b></span></em></span><font face="Arial" size="2">by Abram Hoffer, Andrew W. Saul, and Harold D. Foster. </strong></p>
<p>The United States Patent Office delayed issuing a patent on the Wright brothers’ airplane for five
years because it broke accepted scientific principles. This is actually true.
And so is this: Vitamin B-3, niacin, is scientifically proven to be effective
against psychosis, and yet the medical profession has delayed endorsing
it. Not for five years, but for fifty. </p>
<p>In 1952, Abram Hoffer,
PhD, MD, had just completed his psychiatry residency. What’s more, he
had proven, with the very first double-blind, placebo-controlled studies in
the history of psychiatry, that vitamin B-3 could cure schizophrenia. You
would think that psychiatrists everywhere would have beaten down a path to Saskatchewan to
replicate the findings of this young Director of Psychiatric Research. </p>
<p>You’d think so. But no. </p>
<p>For everyone “knows” that
vitamins do not cure “real” diseases. </p>
<p>Dr. Hoffer
consistently said otherwise. His central
point has been this: Illness, including mental illness, is not caused by drug
deficiency. But much illness, especially mental illness, may be seen to
be caused by a vitamin dependency. This makes sense, and has stood up to
clinical trial again and again. If you do not believe this, <em>Niacin: The Real Story</em> will provide you with the references to prove
it. And remember that it was Dr. Hoffer who started off those clinical
studies in the first place. In 1952.</p>
But the truth will out
eventually. Here is an example of how niacin can really help: One patient, a bona fide, properly-diagnosed, utterly-incurable, State-hospitalized
schizophrenic patient, would not see niacin work in the hospital, of
course. No, the patient
was a fellow whose parents were desperate enough try anything, even
nutrition. Perhaps this was because their son was so unmanageably
violent that he was kicked out of the asylum and sent to live with
them. On a good day, his Mom and Dad somehow got him to take 3,000
milligrams of niacin and 10,000 mg of vitamin C. Formally a hyperactive
insomniac, he responded by sleeping for 18 hours the first night and becoming
surprisingly normal within days. It was an astounding improvement.
<p>Another one of niacin's properties is its ability to reduce harmful cholesterol levels in the
bloodstream. Dr. Hoffer explains: "Niacin is the
best substance for elevating high density lipoprotein cholesterol (the
"good cholesterol) and so decreases the ratio of the total cholesterol
over high density cholesterol." </p>
<p>Yet another
feature of niacin is that it dilates blood vessels and creates a sensation of
warmth, called a "niacin flush."
This is often accompanied with a blushing of the skin. It is this
"flush" or sensation of heat that so many people are confused about.Dr. Hoffer writes:
"With larger initial doses, the flush is more pronounced and lasts
longer," says Dr. Hoffer. "But with each additional dose, the
intensity of the flush decreases and in most patients becomes a minor
nuisance rather than an irritant. Niacin should always be taken immediately
after finishing ones meal." </p>
<p>Niacin is a vitamin, not a drug. It is a nutrient that everyone needs each day. Different
people in different circumstances require different amounts of niacin. Says Dr. Hoffer:
"A person's "upper limit is that amount which causes nausea, and,
if not reduced, vomiting. The dose should never be allowed to remain at
this upper limit. The usual dose range is 3,000 to 9,000 milligrams daily
divided into three doses, but occasionally some patients may need more. The
toxic dose for dogs is about 5,000 milligrams per 2.2 pounds (1 kilogram)
body weight. We do not know the toxic dose for humans since niacin has never
killed anyone." </p>
<p>And what about that "niacin flush"? </p>
<p>"Most people flush at the beginning and gradually get
adapted to it unless they stop for a few days and then resume it. A few
cannot ever get used to it, and they take the no-flush preparations. But the
intensity of the flush is very variable. Generally people who need it the
most flush the least. That includes arthritics, schizophrenics, and elderly
people with cardiovascular problems. Some schizophrenics do not flush until
they get well and then they do. But the presence of the flush or its
intensity can not be uniquely used measure the need as there are too many
variables such as food in the stomach, whether the drink with it is hot or
cold, the kind of food, other medication. Antipsychotics reduce the intensity
of the flush as do aspirin and antihistamines.”</p>
<p>Here are some more "flush" facts: </p>
<p>1) As mentioned above, the more
ill you are, the more niacin you can hold without flushing. In other words,
if you need it, you physiologically soak up a lot of niacin. Where does
it all go? Well, a good bit of it goes into making nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide, or NAD. NAD is just about the most important coenzyme in your
body. It is made from niacin, as its name implies. </p>
<p>2) Niacin is also works
in your body as an antihistamine. Many persons showing psychotic behavior
suffer from cerebral allergies. They need more niacin in order to cope
with eating inappropriate foods. They also need to stop eating those
inappropriate foods, chief among which are the ones they may crave the most:
junk food and sugar. </p>
<p>3) There is a chemical
found in quantity in the bodies of schizophrenic persons. It is an indole
called adrenochrome. Adrenochrome (which is oxidized adrenalin) has an
almost LSD-like effect on the body. That might well explain their
behavior. Niacin serves to reduce the body’s production of this
toxic material. </p>
<p>In <em>Niacin: The Real Story</em>, Dr. Hoffer clearly presents the practical details of niacin treatment. Inevitable
physician skepticism, and questions about niacin's proven safety and
effectiveness, are thoroughly addressed in this book. This is NOT a biochemistry textbook, however. Let's be honest: to
most of us, that is a relief. But when even a basic
working knowledge of niacin can profoundly change so many patients for the better, this vitamin becomes very interesting very quickly. </p>
Dr. Hoffer treated
thousands and thousands of such patients for over half a century. He saw medical fads come and go. What he focused on is what he’s always seen: very sick people get well on vitamin
B-3. <em>Niacin: The Real Story </em>is Dr. Hoffer's final, ultimate work. In it, he tells you, in detail, exactly how to use it to get results. <br />
