Publisher's Summary

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.

A must read! Fascinating!

Incredibly interesting! I can't wait to try out some niacin, and to suggest it to some of my friends and family! Censorship is a big problem, if you consider that science like this has never made front page news, and since most doctors are not informed of this!

Crucial Health information

The use of Niacin to treat and cute so many diseases is amazing. What is more amazing is that big pharma has blocked the way to prevent so much pain and death. Read this book and save your life

Excellent History and Explanation

This brought back some lost recollection of Dr. Joffre helping members of my family. This research influenced my Medical Doctor to recommend niacin very early in my life around the mid 1980s. Excellent work.

Wonderfully Informative

I don't want to be either hyperbolic or verbose but this book on niacin truly opened my eyes on the immense power of vitamin and nutritional therapies and their effect on us. Pharmaceuticals have their place in our arsenal as emergency measures but this book points out the the deficiencies we may have can weigh heavily on our health and should not be ignored simply because literally it costs us so little to ensure our physical, mental and emotional health is at it's best just take the time to inform yourself, I know being a bit of nerd I am going to listen to this again, enough said, cheers.

I believe this book is a treasure trove of info!

Every chapters of this audiobook are worth a listen. Niacin, vitamin C and other nutrients usage on various health issues should be teached from childhood.
