A great man.

I have ocd and I actually find myself unable to cope without taking niacin, I was taking prozac + seroquel however the side effects are unbearable.

500mg is enough to allow me to have conversations, concentrate on work ect..

@bonzos Hi there this a response from a comment you left about two years ago. you said that you have ocd I just wanted to say I found Prozac much better and yes I agree with your comment that seroquel really does do more damage than good So much for an Antipsychotic drug

5mthf is something that might also be taken by people with mental problems. It has history of helping with depressive disorder, bipolar disorder.borderline personality disorder, and I think schizophrenia. It is the biologically active form of folate. Especially helpful for those who test positive for the MTHF genetic mutation, which is more common than most folks think. Gluten and casein-free diet plus niacinamide, P5P, and 5htmf has wonderful possibilities.

LOVE this man! Talk about a trail blazer. Mega supplementing with various vitamins has really helped me. Niacinamide at about 2000 mg per day, morning noon and night, is a big part of that mix for me. Also check out the work of: Linus Pauling, Joan Mathews Larson (2 great books, explains supplementing basics, get both), Andrew W. Saul, David Brownstein and Jorge Flechas. No I don't get paid for this. Just hope one other person finds something that works for them.

I dont understand how people can take niacin and get this horrible flush. I took one niacin and the flush was realy hard.

17 years old with bipolar and sever anxiety. Did not believe this but was desperate. 3 months after taking 1000 mg flush niacin daily, I have forgotten what an anxiety attack or mood swing is. It is better than lithium, prozac and valium. Thank you Dr Hoffer

The man is an absolute genius. I was highly skeptical but now I am a true believer.

@alaurena77 Couldn't agree more.

I would suggest that you contact an Integrative Medicine or Functional Medicine doctor to help your son. A doctor such as Dr Gant at cegant.com
