A niacin deficiency can cause schizophrenia. Many such cases were being treated successfully in the middle 1900s by giving the sufferers 3 grams of Niacin daily. Some people just need more niacin. Personally, I completely eliminated restless leg syndrome (which my sleep doctor had been controlling with a prescription medicine for 25 years) by supplementing 1 gram of niacin daily. It was an immediate cure. It seems quite possible that there may be multiple mental "illnesses" that are really just indicators of a niacin deficiency.
Also, I have not had sciatica since starting niacin supplementation. It was previously relatively common to have a bout of it.
When a baby's brain is being formed in the womb, a lot of the mother's niacin is used.
Although I think it is of great value to every aspect of central nervous system health, I'm not a doctor so do your own research and become informed before starting if you think it could benefit you. Not too long ago I would have said consult with your doctor, but these days that takes more trust than I can muster.
Did you have personal experience that led you to this conclusion? And was it just a supplement pill, or are there different versions/ways to supplement niacin? Have a relative that could benefit, and would value any helpful info you could share. Thanks.
I read about it in a book titled "Doctor Yourself" by Andrew W Saul while looking for an orthomolecular way to get off the prescription drug I had been taking for restless leg syndrome. I had run out on a cross country trip and it was a major headache to get enough pills to drive home safely. In it he points to other books just on the medical uses of Niacin that I haven't read yet. It's knowledge from the pre-allopathic period of medicine. I just use Niacin in a pill form, the cheapest i can get on Amazon. It costs me less than $0.06 a day for my gram. And it works perfectly. I went from being able to drive 3-4 hours without getting drowsy to being able to drive as much as 24 hours with no drowsiness.
I’ve heard before that many chronic conditions and illnesses. Can often be linked to some sort of Vitamin/Mineral deficiency.
Though it’s never been fully studied for a variety of reasons. Mostly financial and political. Sort of like psychopaths, sociopaths, and other assorted similar mental conditions haven’t really been completely studied in a broad spectrum.
Often because what data we do have on the subject. Rapidly gets financially, socially, and politically inconvenient. To one side or another’s preferred narratives and ways of viewing the world.
Like the fact what data we have suggests sociopathic and psychopathic traits can often be considered markers for the kind of wild professional and financial success often enjoyed by those who form the modern Business and Leadership Class. And that the current structure of the Corporate World often has the side effect of selecting for those traits in those that climb the ranks.
And given the World, and all its multitude of various political factions largely draws its current leadership class. Specifically from the Business/Corporate World. Whether they realize it or not. One could see how that information would be inconvenient.
