Re: Mental Issues Talk

[(Anonymous)]

I know this might sound like a broken record, but I can't help wanting to share because it's helped me so fucking much.

I recently discovered niacin for mental health issues. Niacin (B3, the "regular" kind not the non-flushing compound) has made a HUGE difference in my anxiety and depression.

Also helped my allergies, cleared up my skin, etc. I mean it's just been amazing. Some people, either genetically or for another reason, need more niacin than they're getting in food or a

I recommend getting some (it's pretty cheap) and trying just a very small dose, and see if it helps your anxiety/depression.

When I first took it I felt this tremendous sense of peace. It's water soluble so it doesn't last, but that also means it's not something you can really OD on either.

Now I'm not saying don't do your research (srsly do your research) and there is a side effect that sometimes happens (a flushed feeling, kinda like sunburn, unpleasant but not actually dangerous). Anyway if you have a lot of anxiety, depression or other mental illness....please, please LOOK INTO THIS.

It was somewhat suppressed by drug companies. Pellagra was something caused by diets without enough niacin...when they started adding niacin to flour it stopped this disease...but it also lessened the cases of schizophrenia (as a lot of mental illness was then diagnosed).

It's THAT big a deal. Do you think your drug companies want you to try a cheap and harmless vitamin, when they can sell you endless drugs with scary side effects? I know the side effects of drugs seriously damaged my body. I couldn't take those things. They really hurt me.

Anyway yes I'm about as sensitive as it gets (or I was...I'm getting a lot healthier in all the ways!), but if I found a way to take niacin safely I think you guys can at least look into it and try...

I first heard about it on a Netflix documentary about food, then did some research from the internet and this book: Niacin: The Real Story: Learn about the Wonderful Healing Properties of Niacin

And basically I gave it a try and was so impressed that I've made it work, raising my dose slowly to keep feeling better, and enduring or finding ways around the occasional side effect. It's life changing so far, and I'm actually able to deal with some other things in life rather than constantly battling anxiety and depression. I'm actually...living.

So please, please, consider looking into this. Do your research. Give it a try, slowly. And if you're like me, and it can help...start living again.

So how much are the vitamin companies paying you to post this?

"Do you think your drug companies want you to try a cheap and harmless vitamin, when they can sell you endless drugs with scary side effects?"

Yeah, I don't blindly trust drug companies, but the problem with this "logic" is that anti-vaxxers and nutjobs use it all the time:

Hey, do you think Big Pharma wants you to know that vaccinations give you autism when they can sell you endless vaccinations with scary side effects?

Hey, did you know that somebody invented a car that runs on water but the government suppressed it because of Big Oil?

Hey, do you think your governments wants you to realize that chemtrails blah blah blah...?

Etc.

Also please consider that just because it's a vitamin doesn't mean you can take high doses of it over long periods of time with no ill side effects. When it comes to high doses of niacin, the side effects can be significant things like elevating your blood sugar levels and increasing your risk of diabetes, developing heart arrhythmias, and has also been associated with birth defects in lab animals. That doesn't even include stuff like Gastrointestinal or damaging your liver. This is why it's a very bad idea to just medicate yourself based off of a documentary you saw on Netflix instead of consulting an actual doctor or pharmacist.

The truth is that if niacin were a miracle cure for depression, drug companies would totally find a way to sell you bunches of it, because 1) this is what they do and 2) hello, miracle cure for depression!

You do know pretty much everything is still enriched with niacin, yeah? That's why pellagra isn't a thing anymore. People in developed countries very rarely have any type of niacin deficiency.
