Guest guest Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Jo, you know how we were talking about gum disease problems. Well I was just reading an article by a doc and he said Niacin in doses up to 3 grams a day, a gram after each meal has been seen to totally eliminate gum disease problems in a matter of weeks. He also says it can normalize LDL cholesterol levels, drop triglyceride levels and increase beneficial HDL cholesterol, clear up chronic skin conditions and dramatically improve all types of cardiovascular problems. He also said that the studies suggest that if these higher doses were taken before the onset of cardiovascular disease the problem could be prevented in a large majority of cares and the progression of the disease halted where it is already present. The gum disease part caught my attention, then I read on. It sounds good, and not like it would hurt a person. My cholesterol is not a problem, but I doesn't sound like, at my age it would hurt to do what I can for my heart. I have not seen or heard from Herb, so guess he is a lost cause. Oh well.... I did what I could. What have you been up to? Hope you had a good Christmas and the New Year is off to a good start for you. I am still busy with three times a week therapy on my arm, and will be for another six weeks. I am doing as well or better than I should at this stage. Just takes time to heal and work to get the us of it back. They say that may take up to two years for full use, so I am not expecting and overnight miracle. I am not in the pain I was at least. That is until my therapist gets hold of me. LOL Later, Pearl **************New year...new news. Be the first to know what is making headlines.
