About this listen

Niacin (vitamin B3) is a small molecule made of only 14 atoms, smaller even than the simplest sugar. But this one molecule has profound effects on health: It plays a role in more than 500 reactions in the body.

Many illnesses are caused by too little niacin, and many illnesses can be cured with high doses of niacin. The authors of Niacin: The Real Story are advocates of orthomolecular (nutrition-based) medicine, supporting an approach to wellness that involves substances that naturally occur in the human body. This book makes the case for the widespread use of niacin for the prevention and treatment of health problems.

In Niacin: The Real Story, listeners will discover how to take niacin, with detailed recommendations on forms and therapeutic doses. There is plentiful, accurate information on niacin side effects and safety. Niacin can be used for arthritis, children's learning and behavioral disorders, mental illness, cardiovascular disease, and other conditions. Niacin: The Real Story is for people who want to learn more about niacin and its wonderful healing properties.

I have read many nutritional books over years and some are more useful, more scientific than others. This book is up there in its science and importance to good health.

For example, I found out something really special about what happens in the body when we are deficient in nutrients for a sustained period.

Apparently we become deficient in a nutrient at first but when the duration or severity of the dependence is high, or when the situation of the individual is particularly stressful (e.g. a pow camp) then the deficiency becomes a dependency and can sometimes require supplementation for life.

This was shown with Canadian soldiers captured in WW2 by Japan and placed in camps for 44 months until Japan surrendered. Studies were done on these soldiers and compared to Canadian soldiers in the European campaign. The results showed they responded very well to B3 supplements and were required to take them for life. The ones that didn't had a much shorter life than there European based counterparts.

if you have any mental illness get this book, if you have blood lipid / heart problems or worries, get this book. If you want good health and are striving to find out about proper nutrition, get this book.

Don't get this book if you want a fun listen.. it's interesting but not a stimulating book. The content and importance of its conclusions are it's true value.

Hope my review helps you decide.

I have the hard copy of the book and have read it a couple of times. I thought I would get the Audible copy, so I could listen to it to add to my understanding... imagine my shock when, what I consider, the most important chapter (Chapter 11: Cardivascular Disease) has only the first two paragraphs, then skips the rest! I don't consider myself a conspiracy theorist, but... The whole 'Niacin beats Statins' is gone!! And it skips to 'From Bleeding Gums to Coronary Disease'! If this is not a big Pharma edit, it is a hell of a convient mistake!! So... get the book as well as the Audible so you don't miss out on the most important chapter of the book😜🐰

The missing chapter... Chapter 11: Cardiovascular Disease

This should be common knowledge available for all of us, but the pharmaceutical industry won’t let this happen. It’s an eye opening for me and I hope it helps anyone seeking the true. We are not deficient of drugs, we are deficient of good food and vitamins.

I wish all doctors would understand the range of symptoms that niacin can help with or resolve, and the necessary quantities needed to be therapeutic.

I’m on a long health journey recovering from dementia, depression and fatigue. For 7 years I have seen ologists in empires, been medicated into worse sickness - and yet I knew there must be a better way. This is gold dust.
Apart from the studies on Niacin it exposes the corrupt ‘science’ behind pharma, indoctrination of doctors and the medical system, and the suppression of the truth. If you too think there might be another way, then read this with an open mind. It could change your life.

Much more than just Niacin
