Guest guest Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Regarding Niacin/ Nicotinic acid, (NOT Niacin-amide " or " Nicatin-amide " ) I have some long experience. Apparently what causes the flushing/hotness sensation is Niacin's action of releasing Histamines. If you take it every day in an increasing dose the flushing effect will tend to lessen - during one period, over a month, I took a steadily increasing dose, topping out with three grams, (3000 milligrams) daily for about a week; I was doing a Detox. If I took any size dose on an empty stomach the flushing would be very intense and often uncomfortable so, for your own comfort, take it after eating a meal. The Niacin is said to have the action of dilating, (increasing the diameter) of blood vessels thus helping with de-toxification, this is probably why one gets the sensation of heat on the skin's surface and if not dressed well one can feel quite chilled after the flush goes away. Don't worry about the flushing sensation - It's all good!! DON'T GIVE NIACIN TO ANIMALS. They can become very distressed apparently. Cheers.

Recommended are slightly higher than usual amounts of it--but do *not* quote me on the dosage. Please check with your local naturo practitioner or health food store. Also Niacin is recommended at 50 mgs, and the yes, give yourself the FLUSH variety over the NO-Flush stuff which will NOT cleanse us of the radiation. So we are looking for " regular " Niacin, NOT NO-Flush type. You can get it at higher mg levels, but my daughter says even at 50 mgs it causes a red and itchy reaction (the flush, cleanse part) that is temporarily uncomfortable. Taking more than 50 mgs at a time will just increase the flush and make us MORE uncomfortable--but yes, flush and cleanse more. So take your pick what you want! :>) Also with this is the warning that Europeans have been given to not drink MILK, this particular to the very young and the elderly. I would also say this in connection for those with health issues. Japan's radiation is having global effects, as we all should know by now.. On that final note, IF we have enough kelp and niacin in us, the kelp helps to coat the thyroid and protect it; and the niacin helps flush the radiation OUT. So go for them! To your health! Continued blessings! ~Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
