Niacin is not recommended at all because it is hard on the liver. Try

niacinamide. See Amalgam Illness

Maybe I just haven't been taking it long enough?

Ed, your best bet is probably to get info on all sources of

formaldehyde you're being exposed to (building materials, clothing,

etc.) and get rid of them. It might mean having to get drapery

washed, things like that. I knew I had a problem with it so I did a

whole-house clean-up, and continue to air out our home & use a large

air purifier, too. The difference it makes is amazing - I don't

think anything can compensate for the need to remove exposures.

---------Alka Seltzer Gold might help when you feel you have had a reaction to

something. Otherwise, liver support in general, might help somewhat. Are you

taking milk thistle?----------Jackie

-----------Not sure if other labs do it, but Genova (Great Smokies) has a

Comp. Liver Detox Panel, which tests liver phases. This is also the infamous

test for cysteine and sulfate status, but unfortunately, Andy says the way they

test cysteine, isn't helpful anymore. It also tests your glutathione level and

has some markers for oxidative stress.

Andy talks about some of this in AI on pages 40-43 and 110-111, and there is a

link in the links and files section about liver phases, and here it

is.------Jackie

----------Thanks for catching this ! Yes, she's correct, it is

niacinamide that is recommended for helping to slow down liver phase 1, which

can help with MCS. Other things that slow down phase 1 are grapefruit juice or

any grapefruit product, and oil of oregano. There may be others, but these are

the ones most often mentioned.---------Jackie

--------Nope. You just had the wrong form. Try the niacinamide.----Jackie

-----------I don't have any personal experience with it, but I looked at the

ingredients, and didn't see anything bad, but didn't see anything too special

about it either. It looked like it was B vitamins, selenium, and a probiotic.

You may be taking all of these already, or some of them, and may be cheaper to

take them separate. And I do recall Andy making a comment that he wasn't

impressed with any of Thorne's combination products, for what that's worth. But

if you want to try it, I don't see any harm in it.---------Jackie
