One of the main uses of megadoses of B3 that is mentioned in the article is for schizophrenia. Hoffer wrote a book entitled "How to Live With Schizophrenia" way back in the '50's, I believe. My sister in about June of 1975 flipped out and we took her to a hospital where she was diagnosed as schizophrenic, drugged and after a week or two released. She appeared zombie like and she was supposed to go see a psychiatrist, but eventually said they were crazier than her and stopped. She was 23 at the time. It took most of the year for the drugs to get out of her system.
She was going to nursing school and got pregnant and in March of 1976 had her baby and after a few days, flipped out again. When I say that...I mean exhibiting extremely unusual behavior that would be considered very abnormal. A doctor I knew prescribed us some Thorazine to give her to be able to control her until we could get her into a psych ward. She went to one hospital and was actually kicked out for running around naked. Also, in talking to the doctors, I heard them prescribing the Thorazine in extremely higher than recommended amounts (according to drug insert) and the doctor told me there was no hope for her. After she was kicked out, we had her committed to the state institution and I went to the library and got every book I could find on mental illness. I read every one of them.
That is when I came across the work of Abram Hoffer in Canada via his book "How to Live with Schizophrenia" where he described his experiments with B3 and the benefits he saw in multiple settings, including bringing people out of bad LSD trips. There were indications that schizophrenia was closely related to alcoholism and various other mental disorders. I found that there were people practicing Orthomolecular Psychiatry and we got my sister out of the institution and took her to an orthomolecular psychiatrist in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he prescribed a protocol that had high doses of B3 and various other things, including C and a few other things. That reversed her behavior and from that day forward she never exhibited any signs of schizophrenia. Hoffer believes it was hereditary with 1% of the population worldwide being schizophrenic. She went on to have more children and if she ever felt herself slipping would just get back on the protocol. She died in 1992 of breast cancer but was able to lead a normal life up until her death.
I have the book, "Orthomolecular Medicine for Everyone" written by Abram Hoffer and Andrew Saul. Hoffer opened a clinic in NY and continued for the rest of his life treating and utilizing the orthomolecular protocols to help people with all kinds of disorders. His work and writings are phenomenal, and he certainly saved my sister from a lifetime of drugs and being institutionalized. After Dr. Hoffer passed away, his work has continued, and I recently read some of the advancements made by researchers as it regards mental disorders, using the orthomolecular approach. The fact that advancements have been ongoing in this field is quite exciting and they have isolated some other contributing factors to schizophrenia, depression and other mental health issues. The benefit to the treatment of alcoholism is also significant as this article points out. I would just encourage anyone with mental disorders of ANY kind to do some research into this brilliant man's work and find some of the new studies and work that is being done. I guarantee the medical profession wants your loved ones drugged for life and rendered unable to function. But Hoffer was a brilliant humanitarian...a blessing to psychiatric patients everywhere.
THANK you for this. A loved one suffers from alcoholism and it is so very frustrating. He fell off the wagon after rehab and almost 2 years of sobriety. I am sending him a link to this book I found. The comments on Amazon are overwhelmingly positive.
Alcoholic here, got sober in 2017. I’ve taken a B-Complex twice a day since quitting. I’m around alcohol all the time and never have a thought of drinking. AA was still essential in the beginning to understand what I was doing to myself and others.
If you are a praying person, pray for my family. I can't take it anymore. He has been to AA and rehab, did really well for a long time after the last go around. Your story gives me hope. Six years is darned impressive.
Done.
Please, don’t forget to look after yourself as well. Alcoholics too often choose to sink themselves, those that care must remember not to let themselves sink as well.
Has he read or listened to Allen Carrs easy way method to control alcohol? Don’t let the title fool you, it is to stop drinking permanently. You can get the audiobook free using an audible trial.
I quit smoking after 18 years of smoking after listening to his quit smoking audiobook, 26 days so far, and it was easy. It basically removes all the brainwashing using repeated logic of why there is no genuine pleasure in the addiction. Once that happens, the craving goes, the struggle goes, and it’s easy to quit.
Alcoholism also runs in my family...just got bad news about a DUI car accident my daughter was involved in...I HATE ALCOHOL with every fiber of my being. But I am glad I was reminded of this research today because I will certainly be utilizing it very soon. Everything happens at exactly the right time...God bless your family...
Knowledge is power!
So sorry about your daughter I hope she is okay. I am obsessed with researching this issue. I truly wouldn't wish this disease on my worst enemy. It is torturous and devastating to the afflicted person and everyone around him/her. And I have been through enough programs to have met and have watched dozens of people with so much promise and so much to lose, slowly kill themselves and drain their family to the point of exhaustion. It sucks. Royally.
Well, let's see...2 wrecked cars, the other person hospitalized, she is in jail, she is in school, and will probably miss some now, is a licensed social worker and may have her license suspended (she was coming home from a patient) and may lose her job...other than that everything is fine...you know how it goes with things like this,,,it is a domino effect and truthfully it is very hard to make everything right after such stupid behavior. But her and the other person are okay...thank God. But this is what this addiction does...it doesn't make any sense...she is 38 and has 2 kids. I am pretty angry at her stupidity. It's as you say...exhausting...and so very destructive.

Anyway I recommend it. Sometimes addiction and quitting is hard because we’ve been brainwashed to believe it is. Like I said 18 years of struggling to quit smoking in my case. And I have had addiction issues with weed and alcohol too in the past, but the quitting smoking was my main culprit, and once I quit using the audiobook, it has a knock on effect to avoiding those past addictions again.
I will certainly pass it along. The general consensus from Dr. Hoffer is that it is the biochemical makeup that predisposes a person to alcoholism. So your success was with smoking and I am sure that there are behavior issues that are at the core of all addictions, but I am wondering if you don't correct the physical issues, how can there be permanent success? Thanks for the suggestion...I will surely look into it.
Never, ever, ever give up...the answer is out there. If you believe in God...pray...he has ALWAYS led me to where I needed to go and what I needed to know. It is so worth it to find real answers to real problems. God bless you on your new journey.
On that site you will see, I think is Dr. Hoffer, curing Polio in the 30's and 40's high doses of Vitamin C. He wrote books on it. The government tried to crush these guys out of business.
So many hidden therapies and solutions out there, it's incredible. Many years of digging into this stuff has been an eye opener - Reading books, watching vides, taking advice on this site, etc. I love this stuff.
Ivermection, Apple Cider Vinegar, C, D & Magnesium, Minerals, NAD, Electric Zappers, Cold Therapies, Of course working out, Fasting, Diets & Whole Foods, ect, ect.
Yeah, I love this stuff too...it has been my life since the 70's. I utilize most of the above except NAD and Cold Therapy. I use the liquid Magnesium...better absorption. I have a book by Andrew W. Saul, Ph.D., who is not a doctor, but a medical researcher that I came across early in covid, titled Doctor Yourself, Natural Healing that works, with a forward by none other than Abram Hoffer M.D. It's a small world, right? Anyway, Saul has co-authored books with Hoffer and one of his emphases in the book is using vitamin C in mega doses. It is quite interesting, and I became aware of him through his videos. He is a very intelligent man and is no slouch, having worked with Hoffer. They both are quite brilliant.
Very cool and so great to hear about your journey. NAD is just another supplement. Cold therapy is the cold shower, ice baths, ect..Not earth shattering but quite interesting to try for a couple weeks.
They are brilliant - Saul's site (doctoryourself.com) is where I got this article, as you can probably tell.
I have had a ton of anger towards the "medical" slobs and media for keeping this stuff hidden away from the masses. Imagine how many lives could have been saved and or quality of life improved. Very sad.
I didn't realize it was from Saul's site...that is really cool. I know this is not a medical site, but most people are grateful when stuff like this is presented. Yeah, I feel angry, but I try to channel that energy into research and seeking answers...they are always there...you just have to dig. My life has just been one big experimental lab with me and the 5 kids I raised...hubby only recently has followed my advice...but very effectively. They were troopers, I have to say. I love, love, love so many of the alternative remedies I utilize. I never went to the doc for earaches or sore throats or colds and if I did go, I didn't fill the prescription...just went home and found the right treatment. I love the feeling of victory when you have vanquished a foe...it is better than any high I can imagine.
Used to get that all the time when I used to drink C4s. They have a lot of Niacin, and even had the warning for the tingly feelings you get on the can. It's true that the feeling is really not too bad if you know what to expect.
I'm having that right now LOL. Back in August of 2022 I was prescribed Accutane by my dermatologist. As a result by triglycerides skyrocketed to 498 (was about 191 before). Over the course of 4 months I got it down to 309 but need to get it lower.
My doc prescribed a statin which I was very apprehensive of taking as it has lots of side effects. Turns out (and probably very fortunate for me) I seem to be allergic to the statins as I had an asthma attack after the 2 times I took them.
I just got Niacin delivered and took this evening. Though I was expecting some reaction since I had read this thread beforehand, it was a bit more than I expected. I didn't freak out but my nurse wife kinda did. The flushing and itching for me was a bit longer than I had read about. For me it's been close to an hour but getting better. Hopefully it doesn't get this bad every time I use it.
My kids said I look like a sunburned lobster LMAO.
You get really HOT/Warmish, skin turns reddish color all over- feels like a huge rush and flush of blood going through your body. Kind of weird at first.
Read through the comments of this book, I didn't know what it was either but sounds a lot like hot flashes. One of the commenters says you can take the non-flush variety of B3, another says the flush variety is better even though a little uncomfortable.
Probably like hot flashes, I guess. I don't get those.. :).
Niacinamide is the no flush version on B3. I have heard that it doesn't produce the same positive effects. The key is gradually building up - not banging down 1000mg's off the bat.
So If someone is frying balls and having a bad trip b3 will bring them down? That would have been good to know in the 80's. Babysat more than a few acid trips that went wrong.
That is the eternal truth that people fail to realize. If people believed that, they would spend their time and their money seeking the natural cures for absolutely everything they could imagine. I really don't know if it is ignorance or laziness....
It's probably both. People are so indoctrinated with the medical community. I loved the substack article with Burning Bright about heterodoxy. I've never heard that word before but it sure fit me to a T. "rebel against the "orthodoxy". I've never liked doctors, never been in the hospital except when I was born, And I didn't have a say. But wow, do most people I know Worship their docs. Even my husband. I will try any and all "natural" products over some doctors pills. My husband would never touch Ivermectin. His lose. People think their doctor walks on water. My client's love going to the hospital because they get all that Nice attention. Food brought to them, etc. Who gives a sh*t if the doc knows what he is doing! One client was killed by his "nice" doctor!
You sound a lot like me...I am 71 and I was in the hospital overnight in the late 70's for a miscarriage and I was born in the hospital so that is it for me and hospitals. I had 5 kids at home to avoid a hospital birth with all the interference and high c-section rates, drugs, etc., etc. etc... I will also try anything and everything. My husband won't take ivermectin either...his lose...but after a bad case of shingles (healed nicely with essential oils) ...but painful...and gout, he now takes a handful of vitamins and has really been so much healthier and will probably never get either of those again! I have never heard the word heterodoxy...I will look it up. Yep...I am a rebel WITH a cause...self-preservation. God bless you...it's a battle for survival...that is a fact!
2 kids born at home. My 5 sisters were horrified. My dad was born at home so that ended that conversation! My husband has had 2 jabs and a booster. But he got lucky because he is already on heart meds so that was a life saver. He also has been taking the Z pack along with me and he seems to trust my judgement more now after 33 years...and he is truly very healthy. Even goes to the gym 3 days a week. He had an minor issue and when to see his doc which ended up with surgery and I think he is rethinking his love for doctors. It's a Lot to do with $$$
My schizophrenic sister actually had her baby at home with a medic friend (crazy story) and that was how the Lord showed me about home births. I was literally sick to my stomach because I was single, no kids etc. but it was a learning experience. Each of my kids got to see the new ones born and one time even a close friend and her kids were there cheering me on. I had 4 in Illinois and one in Georgia...I absolutely love home births...it was just so great and you recovered so much quicker. God has just been so good and gracious ...it really makes me appreciate his loving care.
Yesterday there was an article on nattokinase to undo spike protein damage for the vaxxed...maybe you could do some research into that. I am glad he finally came around and is trusting you more than the doctors. Also, have you researched the black cumin seed oil? It helps the undo any blood that is aggregating. Also, for some of the non-blood strings they pull out of the blood vessels...they are heavy metals and chelation therapy may help to get rid of those. God bless your family...
I can not stand even being close to the white coats - been one time in 30yrs for a physical and it was a complete a waste of time and money. Never again.
They love to get people in for the annual "well person" physicals to get them on some drug. High Blood pressure? Here you go. Skin problems - here you go. Anything they can get a drug for. Upset stomach - Drug, Oh must be the bladder - drug, maybe it's your blood - Blood thinner.
I call the annual well person exam the gateway - they will lead you down a path that is not good.
Hopefully more find out. Especially after what I just read a few posts away about the abuse of medical coding. We need to ditch big medical. Holistic Dr's. don't take insurance but they go after the cause, not just load you up on big pharma.
https://greatawakening.win/p/16ZqwFu3qZ/-medical-profession-implements-w/
I did that many, many years ago...in fact the experience with my sister opened my mind up to a LOT of abuses in the medical system. I have been on my own pretty much since the 70's and I don't regret one day of making my own medical decisions. The corrupt evil we have seen in the past few years goes beyond anything I could have imagined about doctors and hospitals. People do need to wake up...it really can be life or death at this point in time. Hopefully, all the holistic, alternative doctors that were killed over the past few years have been replaced...we lost many, many good doctors.
There's a whole protocol around taking Niacin and doing sauna therapy for detoxing our bodies. They use this in rehab and drug treatment centers (for alcohol and drug abuse), and it's very effective to rid our bodies of accumulated toxins.
1g=1000mg so if you are taking 500g that would be 500,000mg, which seems unlikely. I suspect you might be taking 500mg. I take a B supplement that is across the board 100mg. and GNC actually carries one that is 150 mg. across the board (with the exception of B-5 and B-12, which is listed in mcg.) B vitamins are pretty essential in today's world because it benefits your nervous system. It is water soluble, and therefore needs to be replenished every day. Also, stress, smoking, alcohol and many other things destroy vitamin C and B and if you take more than you need you just excrete it out. You can buy flush-free niacin if you are taking it in mega-doses. It certainly is worth a try.
Niacin flush: Niacin causes vasodilation, which means your arteries expand. When the small arterioles in your capillaries near the skin surface dilate, your blood circulation increases and your skin becomes red and warm.
NAD+: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme for reduction-oxidation reactions for energy metabolism at the cellular level. Your body can use Niacin to make NAD+.
Ok, now. What is a coenzyme for reduction-oxidation reactions for energy metabolism at the cellular level? Why do you want that? Sounds really important.
It enables the mitochondria in your cells produce ATP, which is the fundamental building block of energy for your body. You not only want this, but your body needs it to function.

Used to get that all the time when I used to drink C4s. They have a lot of Niacin, and even had the warning for the tingly feelings you get on the can. It's true that the feeling is really not too bad if you know what to expect.
I thought it was the beta alanine that causes the tingles in C4 and other pre workouts.
You might be right, I haven't had energy drinks in a while so I don't exactly remember
I'm having that right now LOL. Back in August of 2022 I was prescribed Accutane by my dermatologist. As a result by triglycerides skyrocketed to 498 (was about 191 before). Over the course of 4 months I got it down to 309 but need to get it lower.

Explain what "flush" is.
You get really HOT/Warmish, skin turns reddish color all over- feels like a huge rush and flush of blood going through your body. Kind of weird at first.

Niacinamide is the no flush version on B3. I have heard that it doesn't produce the same positive effects. The key is gradually building up - not banging down 1000mg's off the bat.
Like a long lasting hot flash, my skin gets red too. Helps to take with food.
This.
So If someone is frying balls and having a bad trip b3 will bring them down? That would have been good to know in the 80's. Babysat more than a few acid trips that went wrong.
Yep, lots of great uses for B3...probably could have saved a few lives...
It's funny how vitamin c will kick a trip into high gear but b3 will slow it down. Nature really does have a solution for everything.
That is the eternal truth that people fail to realize. If people believed that, they would spend their time and their money seeking the natural cures for absolutely everything they could imagine. I really don't know if it is ignorance or laziness....
It's probably both. People are so indoctrinated with the medical community. I loved the substack article with Burning Bright about heterodoxy. I've never heard that word before but it sure fit me to a T. "rebel against the "orthodoxy". I've never liked doctors, never been in the hospital except when I was born, And I didn't have a say. But wow, do most people I know Worship their docs. Even my husband. I will try any and all "natural" products over some doctors pills. My husband would never touch Ivermectin. His lose. People think their doctor walks on water. My client's love going to the hospital because they get all that Nice attention. Food brought to them, etc. Who gives a sh*t if the doc knows what he is doing! One client was killed by his "nice" doctor!
You sound a lot like me...I am 71 and I was in the hospital overnight in the late 70's for a miscarriage and I was born in the hospital so that is it for me and hospitals. I had 5 kids at home to avoid a hospital birth with all the interference and high c-section rates, drugs, etc., etc. etc... I will also try anything and everything. My husband won't take ivermectin either...his lose...but after a bad case of shingles (healed nicely with essential oils) ...but painful...and gout, he now takes a handful of vitamins and has really been so much healthier and will probably never get either of those again! I have never heard the word heterodoxy...I will look it up. Yep...I am a rebel WITH a cause...self-preservation. God bless you...it's a battle for survival...that is a fact!
2 kids born at home. My 5 sisters were horrified. My dad was born at home so that ended that conversation! My husband has had 2 jabs and a booster. But he got lucky because he is already on heart meds so that was a life saver. He also has been taking the Z pack along with me and he seems to trust my judgement more now after 33 years...and he is truly very healthy. Even goes to the gym 3 days a week. He had an minor issue and when to see his doc which ended up with surgery and I think he is rethinking his love for doctors. It's a Lot to do with $$$
My schizophrenic sister actually had her baby at home with a medic friend (crazy story) and that was how the Lord showed me about home births. I was literally sick to my stomach because I was single, no kids etc. but it was a learning experience. Each of my kids got to see the new ones born and one time even a close friend and her kids were there cheering me on. I had 4 in Illinois and one in Georgia...I absolutely love home births...it was just so great and you recovered so much quicker. God has just been so good and gracious ...it really makes me appreciate his loving care.
Yesterday there was an article on nattokinase to undo spike protein damage for the vaxxed...maybe you could do some research into that. I am glad he finally came around and is trusting you more than the doctors. Also, have you researched the black cumin seed oil? It helps the undo any blood that is aggregating. Also, for some of the non-blood strings they pull out of the blood vessels...they are heavy metals and chelation therapy may help to get rid of those. God bless your family...
I can not stand even being close to the white coats - been one time in 30yrs for a physical and it was a complete a waste of time and money. Never again.
They love to get people in for the annual "well person" physicals to get them on some drug. High Blood pressure? Here you go. Skin problems - here you go. Anything they can get a drug for. Upset stomach - Drug, Oh must be the bladder - drug, maybe it's your blood - Blood thinner.
I call the annual well person exam the gateway - they will lead you down a path that is not good.
how true. My blood work is always good.....out of there!
Hopefully more find out. Especially after what I just read a few posts away about the abuse of medical coding. We need to ditch big medical. Holistic Dr's. don't take insurance but they go after the cause, not just load you up on big pharma. https://greatawakening.win/p/16ZqwFu3qZ/-medical-profession-implements-w/
I did that many, many years ago...in fact the experience with my sister opened my mind up to a LOT of abuses in the medical system. I have been on my own pretty much since the 70's and I don't regret one day of making my own medical decisions. The corrupt evil we have seen in the past few years goes beyond anything I could have imagined about doctors and hospitals. People do need to wake up...it really can be life or death at this point in time. Hopefully, all the holistic, alternative doctors that were killed over the past few years have been replaced...we lost many, many good doctors.
100%.
Amazing
There's a whole protocol around taking Niacin and doing sauna therapy for detoxing our bodies. They use this in rehab and drug treatment centers (for alcohol and drug abuse), and it's very effective to rid our bodies of accumulated toxins.
I take 500 g every night. It’s a wild ride because it causes your body to flush. I mostly take it as a cheap way to raise NAD+
1g=1000mg so if you are taking 500g that would be 500,000mg, which seems unlikely. I suspect you might be taking 500mg. I take a B supplement that is across the board 100mg. and GNC actually carries one that is 150 mg. across the board (with the exception of B-5 and B-12, which is listed in mcg.) B vitamins are pretty essential in today's world because it benefits your nervous system. It is water soluble, and therefore needs to be replenished every day. Also, stress, smoking, alcohol and many other things destroy vitamin C and B and if you take more than you need you just excrete it out. You can buy flush-free niacin if you are taking it in mega-doses. It certainly is worth a try.
Don't you mean mg?
Flush?
What does that mean? "To flush" and "NAD+?"
Niacin flush: Niacin causes vasodilation, which means your arteries expand. When the small arterioles in your capillaries near the skin surface dilate, your blood circulation increases and your skin becomes red and warm.
NAD+: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme for reduction-oxidation reactions for energy metabolism at the cellular level. Your body can use Niacin to make NAD+.
Ok, now. What is a coenzyme for reduction-oxidation reactions for energy metabolism at the cellular level? Why do you want that? Sounds really important.
It enables the mitochondria in your cells produce ATP, which is the fundamental building block of energy for your body. You not only want this, but your body needs it to function.

IF YOU TAKE NIACIN MAKE SURE IT IS NICOTINIC ACID! This is the flush niacin. Do not take fake non-flush niacin. Learn to love the flush, it's a rush.
We scientologists now lol
in all seriousness, niacin is powerful. If you do not know what you are doing only take the rda
RDA of anything is a joke...
Thanks for this! I just posted https://greatawakening.win/p/16ZqdWMvUS/medical-info-help-request-bipola/ asking for exactly this type of help. Very grateful.
