Two questions--niacin/healing symptom

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone could answer two questions for me.

First, (and what is prompting me the most to write) is concern that a doctor

recently suggested my dad take what seems to me, a huge dose of a Rx

time-released naicin (niaspan). I read the candida files on how time-released

niacin is bad for one's liver/is more toxic. In addition to that concern, I'm

worried at how much he is being recommended to take: start at 500mg and

eventually go up to 2500mg per day (what?!).

Any thoughts?

My second question relates to me--I am still working on my diet percentages (I'm

still struggling with reducing carbs as low as they should be and increasing my

fats, but I'm getting better). I noticed almost as soon as I started increasing

my coconut oil intake that my urine color changed...I *might* notice blood in my

urine at times. Not sure. Could this be a healing reaction (I have never had

problems in the past with this, ever--it can not be retracing) or something more

serious? Has anyone noticed such a symptom when changing their diet? TIA!
