let’s talk about niacin vitamin b3 and schizophrenia now there’s some fascinating information on this topic schizophrenia is a combination of having hallucinations delusions paranoia mixed with feeling disconnected loss of interest in life and feeling emotionless which basically is your apathetic now the medical theory of what causes schizophrenia is you have dopamine excess and so you’re given certain drugs to help regulate that the problem with those drugs is it has certain side effects that cause metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance which has been shown to worsen these symptoms because of what it does to the brain so as a side note there’s some great data i’ll put some links down below of how ketones going on the ketogenic diet can help reduce those symptoms but that’s not part of this video it’s a side note however there was a doctor named dr abraham hoffer some years ago who had a different theory and that theory was called the adrenal chrome theory adrenal chrome is basically the byproducts of adrenaline and in his research he found that the chemical structure of adrenaline was very similar to lsd and so it had certain types of effects on the brain if it was in higher amounts so his whole theory was that schizophrenia comes from excessive amounts of adrenal chrome in the brain which is toxic now normally you’re supposed to have an enzyme that clears that chemical out and people with schizophrenia have a defect with this enzyme so he found that by taking large doses of b3 not talking about the time release niacin the one that doesn’t give you the flush there’s more side effects with that one rather than just take straight b3 niacin but anyway he found that by taking large doses of niacin you can prevent the conversion of the precursor for adrenaline called nor adrenaline thereby making less adrenaline so it will help clear out adrenaline it helps you produce less adrenaline which can be toxic to the brain especially if you have a defect to this enzyme but also b3 will reduce liver toxicity it will help reduce oxidative stress and mitochondria as well as help your dna repair there are several double-blinded studies that were done one of the studies showed a 79. 5 improvement in symptoms now he died some years ago but recently there were some other additional studies that were done to show improvements with schizophrenia using high doses of not just b3 but other b vitamins as well i’ll put that research down below before you go if you have a question about a product or you’re new to keto and you want to know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and you need a debug because it’s not going as smooth i have a keto consultant standing by to help you this is just for the people in the u. s. hopefully in the future we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call but i put the number down below so you can call and get some help
