I seem to fit best into the category that includes high histamine levels. And yet niacin works great for me (as treatment for my irritability).
>>>>>>>>>Ron, I'm sure that a supplement could work for one thing while simultaneously being a culprit of something else. For me, right before I first went to Pfeiffer I began taking folic acid. Although I was taking multiple supplements at the time, I felt like the addition of folic acid had me feeling better. Yet after my tests came back Pfeiffer said no more folic acid. Even though it may have helped in one sense, it would have hurt in another. And my very high histamine level needed to come down. The more I'd read about Pfeiffer's ideas the more things began to make sense to me, pertaining to my own case. I also have pyroluria, which causes one to lose vitamin B-6 and zinc (yes, I was zinc deficient also; further, my copper levels were also VERY high). I go back in about 3 weeks (after 6 months on their supplement treatment plan) for my follow-up testing. It will be interesting to compare the test results. As for the niacinamide, it may have been a very good supplement to take for my allergic rhinitis (hay fever) as well. Reports of it working very well for some folks with that problem as well. Take care Ron!
