If cheese has a culture, does this mean we have to start making bizarre concessions to its religion, too?

[and what *is* the “natural flavor”? or does that simply, subtly imply that the other flavors are somehow unnatural?]

[Salamander]

[and so it begins]....;D

Thx for the post. I actually only noticed the all caps in the responses. I must have too interested in the subject matter to notice. Suffice it to say I can use any advise Bill W. had to offer, we share a great deal…

[shibumi]

Of course cheese has a culture.

I take prescription niacin (Niaspan, 3000mg) once a day to reduce cholesterol. It works great.

Bump!

(All AA does is lead people straight to hell with humanism)

I take 1500mg niacin a day (flushing type)....and my skin does not itch all the time....only when I miss a couple of doses, usually.

[goodnesswins]

Just dawned on me....Niacin would probably have saved my grandfather’s life.....alcoholism, depression, committed suicide...

[Big Horn]

That is why I use it. Dr’s advise.

Bill W also dropped acid....his depression maybe came from leading a life other than he was preaching...he had a mistress.

Welcome to typing 101. There’s a little key on the left side of your keyboard, says Caps Lock. Press it and give us a break on the hollerin.

Just be aware it can cause diabetic readings. It happened to my wife. Once she stopped Niacin, her blood sugar levels returned to normal.

If true, then may it delay my entry for at least one more day.

Yes. Bill Wilson was a hypocrite of the first order. During the time he wrote the 12&12, he was engaged in adultery. It was so bad AA members instituted a “founders watch” to prevent him from preying on newcomers. This is all documented now but not known by many AA’s. Although Bill Wilson’s spiritual experience may have been real, he apparently fell away. Jesus talked about this phenomenon in the parable of the sower.

Those that have Bill Wilson on a pedestal need to learn a bit more about him. As far as schophrenia, a good book to read is:

“The presence of Spirits in Madness” by Wilson Van Dusen.

It is rightly noted that Bill’S sinful lifestyle was one which lent itself to the onset of depression. If he had given up his adultery as well as all his resentments, perhaps he would have found inner peace and serenity.

I took 3000 mg a day for a couple of months because it supposedly helps arthritis. I started itching all the time. It took me a while to make the connection. I still itch a little a year after I quit taking it.
