Re: High dose Niacinamide (and another note on Gallium)

[Guest guest]

Niacinamide... a non-flushing derivative of niacin-

meaning the body uses niacin and niacinamide as vitamin B3 but the

pharmacological mechanism beyond the vitamin are very different for

the 2 forms. I'll do it for 30 days and see what happens- but at

this rate it'll take me 90 days to do 30 days..

Gallium:

Controversial because his claims can't be validated by others.

has been around for about 10 years talking about Gallium and

it's application to horses with bone problems. Personally I think

if there was even anecdotal merit in what he says, more people would

be talking about Gallium than just .

I guess it's possible that he's just before his time... but I'd

like to see a few more people have sucess with his methods.

One of the conditions he claims to cure (navicular- which is

supposed to be a progressive degenerative bone problem in horses

hooves) can also be cured by pulling the horses shoes, trimming

correctly and alowing the horse to go bare-foot.

That's what I was thinking, but you called it by both names in your

last post, so I was confused.

Seems there are quite a few studies that are supporting Gallium as a

pretty potent antimicrobial/antiinflammatory. It seems to kill

pseuodomonas AND its biofilms! This is why the cystic Fibrosis orgs

are researching it.
