A little history: Dr Abram Hoffer MD
"I have treated 5,000 schizophrenic patients with niacin. The first was a 12-year-old boy in 1960. To get the boy to take it, his father crushed the niacin tablet and spread it into a jam sandwich. That boy is now a research psychiatrist."
Dr Abram Hoffer MD (1917-2009)
I had the great honour and privilege of interviewing Dr Hoffer when he visited the UK in 1996. He never ceased to campaign for people with schizophrenia to receive the treatment they really needed: vitamin B3, also known as niacin. He always maintained that the B3 deficiency disease pellagra, was indistinguishable from schizophrenia, and if you corrected the deficiency you could cure the disease. Normal amounts of B3 were not enough. A very severe deficiency damaged the body’s ability to absorb the vitamin. You needed to give extraordinarily high doses in order for enough of it to get through.
The pharmaceutical industry didn’t want us to believe Hoffer. So they did everything they could to discredit his work.
Adrenochrome
We know adrenochrome as an underground “youth” drug taken by celebrities. It is a form of oxidized adrenaline and is produced when the body is under tremendous emotional stress. Hoffer found that schizophrenics often had high levels of adrenochrome and that vitamin B3 helped by reducing it. He believed this was why his treatment was so successful.
