B vitamin possible cure for Alzheimer’s
One out of every eight Americans gets it, and 47% of those who reach 85 years of age have it. Up to now Alzheimer’s was a disease without a remedy. Sure, there are nutritional or drug based substances that slow the symptoms, but If nothing else killed you Alzheimer’s would over a period of time.
Up until recently Alzheimer’s patients took medications just to be able to dress, bathe, use a phone, and other basic necessary functions by themselves a while longer. A team of researchers from the University of California, Irvine, has announced the discovery of a true cure for Alzheimer?s. The best part of this cure is it’s cheap and widely accessible. The cure is vitamin B3, nicotinamide, or more commonly referred to as niacinamide.
Kim Green, Ph.D., director of the team at the University of California, Irvine, bought a year?s supply of niacinamide for $30 and stirred it into the drinking water of forty lab mice, half of which were
specially bred to get Alzheimer’s disease.After treating the mice for only four months, he discovered what should have been front-page news in every city in the world. ?Cognitively, they were cured,? said Dr. Green. ?They performed as if they?d never developed the disease.?
All the researchers in the study were both astonished and excited. Rarely do you hear researchers using the word ?cured,? but that?s exactly what happened.
At the end of the study, the diseased mice that were treated with niacinamide performed just as well in memory tests as healthy mice! The niacinamide not only protected their brains from further memory loss, but incredibly, it also restored lost memory function.
Human trials are underway.
The earliest indicator of coming Alzheimer?s may not be a memory test at all, but a test of your sense of balance.
Dr. Kaufman often tested the impact of niacinamide on balance, and my colleague Julian Whitaker, M.D., editor of Health & Healing, uses it as a test of aging. Borrowing a bit from both of them, here is how you can test yourself:
1. Stand on an uncarpeted floor barefoot or in low-heeled shoes. Close your eyes and balance on your right foot. Slowly draw the heel of your left foot up to where it touches your right kneecap. Don?t wave your arms for balance, just see how long you can stand there. (If you?re accident-prone, have somebody to catch you.)
2. Do the same standing on your left foot.
3. Repeat #1 and #2.
Then average your four scores.
The average by age group is:
Your Age – Seconds
Up to 20 – 30
30?39 – 25
40?49 – 15
50?59 – 10
60?69 – 7
70+ – 5Why such a large difference between ages? It?s because certain nerve fibers in your spinal column tell your brain the location and angle of each joint in your body…but if you stop assimilating enough B vitamins, the fibers eventually stop sending their messages upstairs?and that?s definitely a pre-Alzheimer?s condition.

I know certain other B vitamins are not absorbed well through digestion. How is B3? Is injectable B3 available?

A writer/reporter, Joanna Fuchs, has provided the details of how Dr Kaufman treated himself and his wife with niacinamide at the site posted below

HELP!!!!!
I have a good friend, 55 with 2 kids. He’s had Alzheimer’s for 5 or 6 years. How can we get this to him?? He’ll die soon without it. He has a very aggressive strain.
HOW MUCH B3 SHOULD YOU TAKE PER DAY
Alzheimer’s is a disease that need urgent medical attention as it might be genetic
The easiest way to find Vitamin B3 aka Niacin I know is Red Bull Energy drink. But the caffeine would probably give an 85 year old a heart attack
Do we need flushing or non flushing niacinamide?
Niacin (B3) should be taken in the immediate release form only. The extended release, slo-niacin, etc have no benefits with great potential for liver damage. The regular, immediate release niacin will cause flushing (google it). This is a normal, healthy side effect of niacin. The flush is the benefit of niacin, which prevents AD, reduces cholesterol, and does a number of other beneficial things for the body. Do not drink red bull, as one ignorant commenter suggests.
Hi.
Have anyone had any experiences with this?
And so, 3 years on from the original publication of the mouse study (Green et al 2008), where is the proof that this “cure” has any positive effect at all on sufferers of Alzheimer’s?
Work on mice has frequently raised false hopes of new treatments for a range of diseases; i suspect this is another one.
Hey people, is there a chance that B3 might work though?
I think my Grandmother has Alzheimer’s and if there was one thing I could wish for, is her not to pass away helpless with someone spoon feeding her.
Does anyone know if there have been any other ways to slow down at least or cure Alzheimer’s?
Thanks, it’d be greatly appreciated.
Be very careful; niacin has various forms. If you will be trying this with a loved one what you should try is the form called niacinamide
