Excellent book but...

Excellent book but it's just on one subject; Vitamin B3 (Niacin). You can read all about Niacin and Dr. Hoffer's fantastic work AND A LOT MORE by buying or reading a copy of "Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late" by Stephan Sinatra.

Essential nutrients have healing properties

Feel Better, Live Longer With Vitamin B-3 by Abram Hoffer, PhD, MD, FRCP(C) with Harold Foster, PhD, 2007, CCNM Press, Toronto When two such highly qualified professionals as Abram Hoffer, PhD, MD, FRCP(C) (biochemist, physician and psychiatrist-retired) and Harold Foster, PhD (medical geographer) explain how we can feel better and live longer by taking vitamin B-3, we would do well to consider their wise words. In this book, Dr. Hoffer and Harold Foster, PhD teach us why certain nutrients are so important to human health that deficiencies can cause serious health problems; some individuals require extra nutrients to the point that they depend on high levels to maintain good health and, as if that wasn't enough to remember, some nutrients have medicinal properties. After introducing the concepts of nutritional deficiencies and dependencies, this book focuses on the practical aspects of vital amine B-3, an essential nutrient which has three names, in its various forms - nicotinic acid, niacin, niacinamide. The authors explain how B-3 can help us to maintain good health. They survey 15 health problems which respond to vitamin supplements: (1) pellagra (a nutritional deficiency which leads to psychosis but resolves taking niacin), (2) schizophrenia (which responds to niacin or niacinamide or no-flush niacin, but requires higher doses of vitamin B-3 along with ascorbic acid and other supplements), (3) pyroluria, (4) alcoholism, (5) anxiety, (6) cardiovascular, (7) stroke, (8) senility (9) Huntington's, (10) Parkinson's and several others including cancer. Abram Hoffer obtained his PhD in biochemistry before he became a physician and a psychiatrist. Over his long and distinguished career, he researched the healing properties of vital amines, trace minerals, amino acids, energy and enzyme cofactors, precursors and substrates - these biochemical names may seem complicated but, these molecules are nutrients. It turns out that human beings need the right mix of the right nutrients to maintain normal health. That makes certain nutrients essential. Day to day, most of us don't think about nutrition as we rush through our busy days, gulping down our food, the faster the better. Might our eating choices affect our health? Most doctors don't bother with nutrition; exceptionally, Abram Hoffer studied biochemical and nutritional problems which affect some patients to the point that they develop metabolic disorders. Most psychiatrists avoid the complications of biochemistry; Abram Hoffer connects essential nutrients to health and illness and teaches us, in layman's terms, that our bodies and our brains need optimum `fuels', the right amounts of the right molecules, to restore and maintain good health. In the 1950s, Hoffer applied his PhD in biochemistry to research whether vitamins, B-3 and C, nicotinic acid and ascorbic acid, could help patients who suffered episodes of psychosis. Many of his acute schizophrenic patients recovered taking medicinal doses of
