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  

about 3000 to eighteen thousand micrograms per  day and i’m talking about straight niacin i’m  

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
