It was used by the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous as a treatment for their disease. And, it’s been shown to work with schizophrenia, and the similar mental illness which goes with pellagra, the disease which hallmarks a total lack of...Niacin.

Yes!! I read about that in this book. They give high doses of niacin to Schizophrenic.. and most don’t flush till they are near the healing/high high dose.

Too bad they don’t continually use it to help people. Hey, thanks Big Pharma.. you’re a peach!!

And the results with cholesterol.. well I will let you know in a few weeks lol.

I had a cardiologist literally yell at me for my cholesterol, like I was injecting it or raising it on purpose lol. I said, “Well, we’re done if you’re gonna yell at me. And I’m not paying for being yelled at either.” Like yelling at me is going to bring it down outta fear or something?? Diet does not work, low fat does not work, vegetarian does not work and the Big Pharma drugs are bad (in my most very humble opinion lol).

Okay.. I’m on Devolution #5. I got glassy eyed today lol

Back later.

I’m glad you like Devolution!

BTW there are herbs that are considered to help with cholesterol, I’ll look up and post on the Natural Health thread and ping you. Got house guest for a 2-3 days so probably after that.

Niacin, the new party drug, works for me. I hope it works for you.

Hey Petey, what cooking oils are you using? Try to switch to healthy fats such as EVOO, coconut oil, avocado oil, and grass-fed organic butter (Kerrygold Irish or other European butters). It's very important to stay away completely from Canola or Vegetable oil (consists of mostly Canola/rape seed oil). No corn oil either. Avoid conventional bottled salad dressings and mayos. Cooking sprays such as Pam are just rape seed oil, so avoid. For baking, there is an avocado/coconut/safflower blend called Chosen Blend Oil by Chosen Foods that does not have a strong coconut taste. Look for a shortening that is made from palm oil. (It's not evil as they have claimed! Plus, it's shelf stable.) The brand I use is Nutiva Organic shortening and you can find it at your organic/crunchy hippie stores (Whole Paycheck, Sprouts, Sunflower Markets, Natural Grocers, etc.) Replace conventional peanut butters (Jif, Skippy, etc.) with fresh-pressed nut butters and try almond, cashew, hazelnut. Trader Joe's sells a yummy raw almond butter.

The coconut oil is super important for protecting the brain. I know people who take it by the tablespoon. I haven't been able to do that, but you can make a fudge using coconut oil, raw cacao and Stevia... you can find recipes online. If you cut it into small squares, you can have 1-2 pieces a day and get your good fats in while having a sweet chocolate treat. (Each square is worth about 1 tablespoon coconut oil.) Also put avocado on everything. Straight up avocado is better than processed guac from the store. A very crunchy friend of mine puts salt on a half an avocado and just spoons it like yogurt for a snack. I dice it and put it on scrambled eggs with salsa, throw it in smoothies, etc.

This is just another example of how the FDA has done so much damage. People who went on no fat/low fat diets on doctor's recommendations and find their cholesterol only getting worse should try reversing their recommendations and taking in GOOD fats and as many as they can tolerate. You will find it balances your mood also.

Have you been tested for MTHFR gene mutations?
