"...Three years later, I first saw niacin work on somebody else. He was a bona-fide, properly-diagnosed, utterly-incurable, State-hospitalized schizophrenic patient."
Is this acute or chronic? It must have been chronic since he was "utterly incurable", yeah? I mean, you don't get that label in a few days or a few weeks of being ill.
B3 worked.
I like the idea. It makes a lot more sense than pounding down more high doses of powerful mysterious meds. I mean, given the choice, why would someone NOT try it?
It kind of reminds me of Christopher Columbus...what a fool he was thinking the earth was round. EVeryone knows it is flat. And what about the guy who discovered ulcers are from bacteria? EVeryone knows ulcers are from stress. And ya know, the Pfeiffer Institute is all about healing patients with very detailed lab analysis and targeted mega-vitamin and mineral therapy based on the labs. I don't think their success rate is any higher than any other institution. The difference is they accomplish their success with patients that have already failed other institutions of medicine, and they do it with vitamins. Think about it.
But to make it real simple and logical, just answer this question? Why would you NOT try it?
