Guest guest Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 It is also recommended that taking an aspirin half an hour before you take the Niacin will help ease the 'flushing' and also take after food, but NOT hot food or a drink. Luv - Sheila Niacin is an excellent way to improve Cholesterol it is better than some of the prescription statins your Dr is likely to prescribe, Instant release is best for the liver. Avoid extended release or flush free altogether, flush free does not work. If you are concerned about gout or are susceptible to it a large daily dose of vitamin C a day will help.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Hi Mark Thanks for the Vitamin C tip - do you know what is a large dose of Vit C? I will pass this information on to my Husband. He is presently having to take Allupurinol to help with the Gout, however something which is natural as in the Vitamin C has got to be better than taking any pharmaceutical based medicine. Incidentally he does suffer from high Cholesterol and has to watch his diet for this. many thanks agian Kind regards Vickyanne make gout worse.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 hi vickyanne the following is a link that sheila posted re uric acid ...i was disappointed to see vit c implicated! http://www.ehow.com/about_5195926_causes-high-uric-acid_.html " What Causes High Uric Acid?Medications Certain medications, such as those used to treat high blood pressure, as well as aspirin, vitamin C and niacin among others, can produce high levels of uric acid. Chemotherapy for the treatment of cancer can also be a cause. " although i mentioned purines in another post to you there is someting niggling at the back of my mind that new research suggests purines are not the bad guys afterall ...trouble is i can't remember what it was or where i read it! (i will do some more research). i also said that i thought there was a genetic predisposition because my mother had high uric acid but one of the reasons given in the link above is to do with dehydration....my mother was/is chronically dehydrated. nothing's clear cut is it! best wishes. trish > > Hi Mark >  > Thanks for the Vitamin C tip - do you know what is a large dose of Vit  C? I will pass this information on to my Husband.  He is presently having to take Allupurinol to help with the Gout, however something which is natural as in the Vitamin C has got to be better than taking any pharmaceutical based medicine. Incidentally he does suffer from high Cholesterol and has to watch his diet for this.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Hi Vickanne,Here is an article about vitamin C and gout. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7932158.stm I take 4 * 4g but not everyone could tolerate that much without bowel problsem, I also work from home so convenience is not a problem. It is a good idea to find your tolerance level. Check out http://www.vitamincfoundation.org/forum/, it is an excellent resource. Hope this helpsRegardsMarkOn 13 December 2010 14:21, Vickyanne <vickyanne58@...> wrote: Hi Mark Thanks for the Vitamin C tip - do you know what is a large dose of Vit C?

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Seems to improve my sense of humor! But I would only take flush-free, and maybe not every day. It can stress the liver (at least some forms). Nourishing traditions says how to lime corn to bring out the natural niacin.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 A Niacin flush can be used to flush out radiation from the body. I have done this prior to ES problems as part of a health regime. You need to build up by 50mg at a time as flushing can be quite strong, up to 3000mg. Should take a quality multi B complex at the same time to support the niacin. Recommend Enzymes International for this as most on the market are synthetic. Begin with 50 mg, do not raise level until flushings minimise or cease, then add another 50mg to dosage and slowly keep increasing in this manner. Should do this first thing in the morning and do a dry skin scrub all over at the same time. Some people cannot tolerate it on an empty stomach so gauge which way works best for you.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Hi Helen, Thanks so much for the info! I will follow your instructions. I spoke with a doctor yesterday in regards to niacin. He said that when the body reacts to the flushing a certain amount of energy is produced and that is why I feel better when I take the niacin. I have been using 500 mg. per day in divided doses. From what you just said and what he said I will reduce the dose just to what causes the minimal amount of flushing. As the flushing effect wears off as the body adjusts to the niacin he said this energizing effect will dissipate. However, you can stop taking the niacin for awhile and then restart for the same effect. So I guess I feel better from the combined effects of the flushing out of the radiation and from the energizing effects of the flushing. I wake up in the morning feeling like I don't want to get my chores done. Then I take enough niacin to flush and my mood changes and I have energy and am running around getting things done almost effortlessly. I feel I have really discovered something! Don't know if it will work for everyone! Thanks again for your very interesting and informative response, Cheryl > > > Has anyone here had any positive experiences with using niacin?

I know I shouldn't take more than 400mg since I'd have to increase other supplements but currently I take 100mg/day...could I take 200mg/day for 5 days to help detox the radiation? +++Hi , Because of the radiation your body will be flushing more even if you stay on 50 mg of niacin twice a day. When I go out to the beach my body flushes more over the next few days than it normally does, yet I only take 50 mg 2 times a day. So wait and see how your flushes are. When your flush decreases you can increase niacin by 50 mg per day. When your flush decreases from that dose take an additional 50 mg per day. Go back to 50 mg twice a day when the flush decreases on 200 mg per day. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say half a tablet but I don't know what size you are using. You should be taking 50 mg of niacin twice a day. It isn't necessary to " always get a flush " when you take niacin since it is still helping you. You can increase it if you wish, and take 100 mg twice a day. Yes, you always take niacin (50 mg twice a day) even when you are healthy, because of how important it is for detoxification, opening up blood vessels, etc., along with B vitamins of course. I take all of the supplements on this program, but I take less cal/mag because I can have dairy products. I don't always get flushes, but sometimes I do, particularly after being at the beach all day in the summer, since niacin gets rid of radiation.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Hi Caine. I find that I only get a flush if I hold the niacin in my mouth for a minute or so - and even chomp it up before swallowing it with water. If I take it with food, or the egg drink, I don't flush (which is fine by me because I don't actually like the flushes very much!).

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 > > Hi, Bee! > > I have been on this diet now since Christmas and have been so pleased with the health improvements already! Just 2 questions: do I take 50 mg of niacin 2 times a day or just 1 time? Also, my thyroid function is low, cholesterol high. The doctor was very willing to let me work things out with diet and exercise changes, but how long should I wait out the slower natural healing? At what point does it become clear that lifestyle changes aren't enough (re:thyroid)? Thanks! > +++Hi Debbie, Good for you!! Here's the Handy Supplements Chart you can print out so you can ensure you take the correct doses of all supplements: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/supp7.php It is 50 mg of niacin, along with Vitamin B complex 2 times a day with meals. It is common for anyone who is unhealthy to have low thyroid function, which will normalize on this program, as many members have reported in their Success Stories. The reason is because the adrenals become overstressed and cannot handle normal thyroid hormone output. The thyroid senses it, so it automatically lowers its hormone levels in order to protect the adrenals. Taking thyroid meds doesn't help because that stresses out the adrenals too. Such malfunctions don't just happen for no reason. The primary reasons for all failing health are: 1) Lack of the correct combination of nutrients that all humans need in order to be healthy. 2) Lack of oxygen at a cellular level. 3) Accumulation of toxins, poisons, and waste because of an inability of the body to detoxify like it should. 4) Lowered vitality (energy) due to stress, shock, injury, emotional upsets, losses, relationship or financial worries, being unhealthy, etc. 5) Poor " Nutritional Status " acquired from parents upon conception. Doctors do not treat the body as a whole, and that's why their drugs, treatments, etc. don't help any of us. They treat each area of the body and each symptom separately, and label them as different diseases, syndromes, etc. Your cholesterol increases when your body is detoxifying, so your body produces more in order to help the detoxifying processes. However, the medical industry has been lowering the normal cholesterol ranges in order to get more people on cholesterol-lowering drugs. Back in 1985 normal readings were 262. In order to heal your body completely, including normalizing adrenal and thyroid functioning, it takes 1 month of natural healing for every year you've been unhealthy, and for most people today that is since before they were born. Even after you are healthy, like I am, you must continue giving your body what it needs so it can maintain its health. While healing your body will also retrace every symptom, illness, disease, organ malfunction, injury, etc., reversing the disease processes as explained in this article: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/heal10.php The best to you, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I'm taking 500mg Niacin in the mornings. Niacin is usually listed as something to take when having symptoms like allergies, headaches, spaciness. Does that mean it's ok to take another dose of 500mg the same day? How many times a day can we do this? April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Hi April, The dose for Niacin is 50mg, not 500mg. You wouldn't take more to treat certain symptoms. What you need to do is follow the program for long enough to allow your body to heal those reactions and symptoms. If you increase one vitamin, you would need to increase all the other ones so that they are balanced. This is very expensive and unnecessary.
