Brief niacin slide -
All that talk about niacin made me commit to finally start taking it before my pharma-bought-and-paid-for doctor tells me my cholesterol is high. I took only 250 mg 1/2 hour ago and within 5 minutes I thought my hair was going to catch fire. I got so hot I was ditching my clothes, and my hands became very itchy. Then I got the shakes and couldn’t write my name. Lol! It only lasted 20 minutes but it was a wild 20. I still feel warm but I put the ice pack away. Thanks to all for the warnings and advice ... I think.

A bit of a wild ride! Hang on! It won't last for long!

The first is the worst. Keep at it. Sipping in a diluted form can take the edge off and get you into some higher doses.

Yea! It does get better.

Let me take a moment here to just say how grateful I am for all the health information I have learned over the past couple of years here on the Q thread.

This is not casual information I am talking about. This is life-saving knowledge that could only come from the wonderful people on this thread. There are no better researchers that ya’ll, and I am so grateful for each and every one of you that posted your helpful tips and experiences, so that others could learn.

And learn I did! And still do.

These Q threads are like the “clearinghouse” for vital information. By that, I am not referring to the posts of what ex. Sather or Clandestine or any of those people say or write. I scroll right by those because since I don’t know them, and Q told us to be careful who we follow, this thread is all I need.

It is ‘THE’ place to be, and I am just so profoundly appreciative for each one of you, but especially our dear leader. RN holds a special place in my heart. I simply love her and ya’ll, too : ) Thank you.

Be especially blessed this evening, dear FRens.

Oh dear.. sorry. (I’m laughing with you) I gave some to my hubs once and about 5 min later, called me from the car yelling at me that he was ON FIRE!!! He won’t take it.

Have you looked at Enduracin? It’s wax coated and prevents the flush. That book on niacin suggests it.

Maybe wait til winter when you get lay in the snow??

I started with 3 grams niacin in three days.
I had to take a shower to get my temperature under control.

Anyway I learned taking Niacin when you take it regularly you don't get the flushing. It's when your body needs it is when you flush.
