Joan Mathews Larson, vitamin B3 deficiency cause anxiety, depression, fatigue

http://fatnews.com/ Hi, this is Larry Hobbs @ FatNews.com.

For 30 years, Joan Mathews Larson, PhD has been treating addiction, anxiety and depression with natural supplements in order to correct the underlying biochemical problems which cause these conditions.

In this video clip, she tells how a deficiency of vitamin B3, niacinamide, can cause anxiety depression and fatigue.

She also notes that vitamin B3 can eliminate a kind of alcohol psychosis that causes paranoia and feeling quarrelsome.

Note: the doses of vitamin B3 used for this are several thousand milligrams, which is a much higher dose than is found in multiple vitamins.

Dr. Larson also points out that anti-anxiety medicines such as Valium, Xanax, Ativan, and Librium attach to the same anti-anxiety receptors in the brain as vitamin B3.

She also notes that when the patent for Valium ran out, the drug company, Hoffman LaRoche, admitted that they got the formula for Valium by trying to copy the chemical structure of vitamin B3.

Imagine that.

"Niacin, vitamin B3, [ later she corrects this and says what she meant was niacinamide, which is the non-flushing form of vitamin B3 ] reverses a kind of alcohol psychosis that people who have been drinking typically have, where they feel paranoid, and quarrelsome, and may even have sensory disperceptions...

"Niacin [ niacinamide ] will turn that around completely.

"[ People with a vitamin B3 deficiency ] may look like they are schizophrenic, but they're not.

"If you treat them... and at the end, we do all our testing again... that is always corrected.

"Niacin... [ I mean, ] niacinamide, which crosses the blood brain barrier, not niacin, binds to the same brain receptors that binds the benzodiazepines, like Valium, Librium, Ativan, Xanax, and so, it has anti-anxiety effects.

"And when Hoffman LaRoche's patent grant amounts under Valium, they admitted that, where they got the formula, was from niacin.

"[Dr. Abram ] Hoffer the standard classification of anxiety neurosis fits into the description, perfectly, of initial symptomatology of subclinical pellagra, which is niacin deficiency...

"There is hyperactivity, [ anxiety ], depression, fatigue, apprehension, headache, and insomnia."

Dr. Larson is the author of "7 Weeks to Sobriety", "Depression Free", and "7 Weeks to Emotional Healing".

Please Larry, can you tell me the what the music piece is beginning at about 3:11? I love it! I'm sure I've heard it in a movie. Thank you!

[larryshobbs]

@abbyrose53 It's from the movie Shawshank Redemption. Larry Hobbs

@frankasaur914 Frank, I don't know, but it certainly could be. The easiest way to find out is simply stop the niacin for month, and then have your liver enzymes checked again. Do a Google search for "niacin bilirubin" and you will find lots of articles talking about it. Larry Hobbs

@larryshobbs A couple days ago, i received my blood test results and it states i have elevated bilburin levels(TBIL,IBIL) I take niacin daily, around 3-4 grams.. do you think that is the reason why my bilburin levels are elevated?

[larryshobbs]

@666katch Large doses of niacin can elevate liver enzymes, which indicates liver damage, but the dose is very high. Some people take 2000 or 3000 mg to improve cholesterol levels. Abram Hoffer MD PhD treated schizophrenics with large doses of niacin, giving some people up to 6000 mg per day. In the late-1980's there were some cases of liver problems in people taking time-released niacin, but one doctor said time-release niacin should be used at half the dose of regular niacin.

I read some article that taken 500mg or more can cause liver damage, Is this true?
