About the Author
I have lived a full, interesting and creative life supported by my family and many friends and irritated and spurred on by the hostile criticisms of a group of psychiatrists representing APA and NIMH. I was born on a farm in Southern Saskatchewan in 1917, completed High School in a rural school, my PhD at University of Minnesota and Medical degree at University of Toronto. By the time I got my first job I was 33 years old, had three children and was totally fed up with being a student. The last thing in the world I wanted to do was to become a psychiatrist, then the lowest branch of medicine. My wife Rose put up with these long student years while she brought up our three children. Bill became one of the world’s best antiquarian book experts. He died 6 years ago from lung cancer. John is a Professor of Medicine at McGill University in Montreal a great clinician and researcher into nutrition, and Miriam is dietitian at Women College hospital in Toronto and recently published her very good book Fueling Body, Mind and Spirit. Rose died in August 2001 and since then I am alone but absorbed with my family and my work. I have the support of remarkable friends and scientists and all of us working together will eventually overhaul medicine back to its interest in nutrition and in nutrients. Since they did not know me personally I never took it personally although I must admit I would have preferred had they been supportive. I give my critics full credit for having delayed the full introduction of orthomolecular medicine into the medical world and for having denied life, health and happiness for innumerable patients. Supporters of old paradigms never realize how much damage they do by their remarkable rigidity and adherence to old theories.

Title: My experience with Niacin, including monitoring Liver test of AST/ALT
Date: Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2017
Review: Ive been taking 3 doses of 1,000mg each morning mid day and night (3,000mg total) the last several years.
It’s helped by cholesterol in a HUGE way.
Here’s what I learned
1) at first I was shocked by the flush. Not deterred I investigated.
a) take it with meals
b) delay drinking coffee
but I evolved, leading to
c) I take B-50 pills for each dose of NIACIN; the B-50 reduces the flush to nothing
I get no flush now; even when I drink coffee immediately
2) Liver Enzymes (AST, ALT)
Were as high as 50-60
a) I lost 40 pounds
the AST/ALT dropped in spite of the Niacin
b) taking choline supplements
Niacin depletes choline; choline deficiency will raise AST/ALT
For my dosage of Niancin, Im taking 2000mg of sunflower based lecithin, which has lots of choline. I also eat one egg yolk (range free) per day and I eat liver once in a while.
Hoffer’s book mentions liver enzyme tests and the results of using high dose niacin. Also mentions use of lecithin to reduce AST/ALT levels. Slightly elevated AST/ALT levels dont mean liver damage in case of niacin, it means liver is working and you need some more choline.
My cholesterol and AST/ALT are fantastic, never been better..ever!

2016 05 04: 180___74___36___32
NOTE: never use no flush niacin its dangerous for liver; crystal niacin is NOT

Title: I cannot praise it enough.
Date: Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2015
Review: How do I adequately praise the work of these scientists and doctors? I bought this book in a effort to help my teenage daughter with a catalogue of health and emotional issues. She had suffered from C. dificil as a small child due to multiple antibiotic allergies. At 15, she had cystic acne, rosacea, insomnia, severe adversarial behavior, and menstrual irregularities. We have been to acupuncturists, naturopaths, and conventional doctors. One day into megadosing niacin and she stopped being offended at the drop of a hat, walked around singing with her brother, and stopped obsessively checking her skin in a mirror. Two days into dosing, she reported better concentration, social interactions at school, AND THE ACNE ON HER BACK IS 50% BETTER. Yesterday, I started giving her Dr. Ruth Harrell's dosages of nutrients for learning disabled kids plus the niacin. This morning at eight a.m., all of the acne on her back is healed, her face is 35% better, and she slept.
All of this suffering because she had global subclinical malnutrition. It cannot be done with diet alone. We eat a no sugar, low carb, organic, low dairy paleo diet.

Title: Help for mental illness and alcohol addiction
Date: Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2019
Review: I read how the author treated Bill W. the founder of A.A., for his depression with Niacin, and wanted to learn more. As someone who has dealt his whole life with alcohol and depression, I found this book a great resource. I started to take niacin and high doses of C, that he recommended as well have a good multi-vitamin; and it change my life. It was like someone flipped a switch. The desire for alcohol went away. So did the depression.
I would also recommend "Doctor Yourself" by Andrew Saul. He also has a good web site by the same name. I hope that this information helps someone as much as it has helped me. I wish I had found this out much sooner in life, but better late then never.

Title: Niacin can rescue heart, mind, and much more...please read this book!
Date: Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2017
Review: Niacin (also called vitamin B3) in mega doses has removed mental illness from my 39 year old son. When he takes niacin he does not need powerful antipsychotic schizophrenia meds. He doesn't mind taking daily vitamin B3! I call that a godsend. Dr. Hoffer researched the anti-psychotic effect of mega doses of this important vitamin. When given in large daily doses the patient's mind returns to normal after a few weeks. I was delighted to see my son regain his normal mind after 6 weeks of taking 1200 mg niacinamide per day. I gave him niacinamide because it doesn't have the 'flush' effect of niacin (I wanted to make sure he would continue taking B3 every day. He also took B-complex vitamins after telling me he learned that B-vitamins need to be balanced for best effect.)
Many persons have a chronic deficiency of vitamin B3 that requires regular niacin supplementation. Similar to other vitamin deficiency diseases, when one replenishes a lack of niacin, good health returns to both body and mind.
This book gives an eye-opening account of the surprising ways niacin helps the human body.. I had to wait 19 years to find this answer...I'm grateful Dr. Hoffer (he lived well into his 90's) made pioneering research and wrote this valuable book about the wonderful benefits of niacin.
