Hoffer and ing/ b3 (niacin/niacinimide) - anyone see progr...

[Guest guest]

That's news to me that Abram Hoffer passed away:-((

I read up a lot on Hoffer. Good friends of ours worked at the University

Of Saskatchewan and said he was a very controversial light there. Hoffer

was very interested in the Vitamin C connection and maligned along with

Linus ing for his beliefs. Silly really because the importance of

Vitamin C is not a belief, it is a scientific fact. Vitamin C is a

co-factor in the the Omega 3 fatty acids pathway; likewise in the

dopamine pathway. In times of stress when the adrenal glands are

shooting out cortisol the requirement for Vitamin C supercedes normal

daily requirements. Ths is NO longer rocket science.

The drug companies had the temerity to go after these two gentleman

starting in the 60s but both stood their ground defiantly. And they had

a LOOOOOOOG time to be defiant as both lived well into their 90s,

outliving the many of the orginal nasty people who tried so hard to

rubbish their research.

Few people realize that Linus ing was on the 'other' team in the

race to uncover the secrets of the DNA in the late 40s and 50s. ing

was with the Stanford team in the States at the same time that Crick and

colleagues were in the UK. The Brits won out but not before ing

proved himself to be an intellectual heavyweight in biochemistry.

Hi , do you have the main studies re Vitamin C and Fatty acid synthesis – this would be so helpful for some families that I know have issues with fatty acids, as in kids go hyper and don’t seem to be able to absorb the fats.

P.S Hoffer may very well have uncovered something interesting vis-a-vis

schizophrenia and vitamin c. I researched schizophrenia quite a lot last

year. What was very clear was a very high level of stress in the body

coming from undefined sources. (same as in autism!)

When the body is under stress, the requirement for Vitamin C is

higher.....Stress increases fatty acid turnover for one thing. Increased

fatty acid turnover requires more fatty acids to take their place.

Vitamin C is a co-factor in fatty acid synthesis. No vitamin C=no fatty

acid synthesis. The body begins to break down....

wrote up a case study several years ago regarding a

young schizophrenic whom she gave Omega 3s. His schizophrenia symptoms

resolved. Unfortunately he stopped taking them and the symptoms came

back. (Interestingly an MRI was done before and after supplementation.

His atrophied brain before supplementation regained volume after

supplementation.)
