					<description><![CDATA[Well, I just came across this, super late I know. But here is the funny thing: not only did Scientology NOT reduce the amount of Niacin but… wait for it: all Scientologists had to RE-Do the Purif! Ta dah! 

Even those already higher on the Bridge, since DM figured out somehow, that People were not winning as they shoud and that was probably because they had not achieved the EP all the way down to the Purif.

Also, before only people who had used drugs or heavy medication had to do the Purif, but not anymore! Now EVERYONE has to do it. 

So to answer Your question Mike: no, no changes about Niacin and the purif. Quite the contrary.

Now I wish I had read this in 2015 as since then both my mother and my sister did the Purif 2 times more EACH and they are both yes, diabetic… my other sister is almost diabetic (on her way there, will of course not take medicine to help prevent it. Nope, going for auditing. Because that worked so well for my OT V mother and Clear sister…)

So frustrating.

I tried to send them articles about niacin but was hit back with &quot;I don&#039;t understand that you are doing this, LRH has all the answers, why look elsewhere&quot; and I am chocking with frustration…

Thanks for doing all this for us and teaching us to really LOOK and not LISTEN.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mikerindersblog.org/the-danger-of-niacin/#comment-295767&quot;&gt;Devon&lt;/a&gt;.

it all started when I was about 38. I could hear rushing sound in my ears I had palpitations and dizziness. as time went on this got worse and worse until in the mornings I had difficulty standing up straight or getting out of bed without falling on the floor. Heart palpitations was so severe that it was painful and lasted for 30 seconds at a time. I had headaches and would take painkillers so I could go to About 6 years my doctor told me I could drop dead at any moment because I had high cholesterol and high level of triglycerides in my blood. The doctor put me on statins fish oil and niacin. About one month later I lost my insurance because I got laid off. I thought to myself I&#039;m going to die what can I do. I did some research and found that niacin does miracles for high cholesterol and triglycerides. I was still having symptoms that I had before like the dizziness and the heart palpitations. I started out buying Niacin from the store. I started off with a thousand mg of niacin in the morning afternoon and night. Within a week I could feel a difference I felt like I was recovering. Then two weeks then a month and 3 months. 3 months later I was completely symptoms free. I stopped taking it off and on but as soon as I felt the dizziness and the heart palpitations and it&#039;s rushing in my ears start to come back I would start taking it again. I&#039;ve been taking it 1000 mg in the morning 1000 mg at night or when I remember to. My symptoms are coming back again I haven&#039;t taken it for a while and I&#039;m getting my dizziness back severe. By the way a year after taking my niacin I went back to a doctor took the blood test and said my cholesterol and triglycerides were fine. So now that my symptoms are back I have been taking 2000 mg in the morning and 2000 at night sometimes I forget. My dizziness is pretty bad right now when I get up in the mornings or lay down at night. It reminds me of a few nights I had after drinking heavily where it felt like I was riding on top and got this rush like I was falling for about 15 seconds, the same thing I got before when I had severe symptoms. So I just took 3000 mg and I plan on taking 2,000 in the morning and afternoon from now on. My dad used to tell me how bad statins were how he was prescribed statins. As far as nice and goes being dangerous I think taking niacin is help me live and if I didn&#039;t take it I would have surely died. So without it I feel that I cannot survive now. I guess it&#039;s been about 6 years of me taking niacin and I&#039;m still here. I am about 230 lb and I am now 55 years old. I hope this help someone positively it may just be me I lucked out or it is truly a miracle vitamin I don&#039;t know to each his own and I wish everyone well. Thank you.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The truth is that the studies that don’t include the anti-flushing medication don’t show the same results, and never have. There is no data that conclusively links Niacin to the dangers presented here.

Niacin as a supplement is safe for people who don’t have a medication or disease that is specifically exacerbated by Niacin, and just because the study wasn’t intending to look at the effect of the medication, doesn’t mean it’s scientifically sound to conclude that Niacin is dangerous. That’s blatantly ignoring numerous factors that would lead to the results they had.

The flushing effect that Niacin causes is the the body’s way of handling excess Niacin. Turn that function off and suddenly your body isn’t handling Niacin the way it should and knows how to. This also creates a stigma around a very important nutrient and supplement that is neither scientifically sounds not complete in its scope.

I applaud the research done and the connections made, though I believe the conclusion is horridly incomplete and therefor invalid as something to be shared and labelled as “dangerous”. That is an irresponsible use of information.]]></description>
