I once read a book on detecting food allergies by using Niacin. Niacin causes flushing in reaction to histamines in the body. Histamines are released when foods are eaten that produce an allergic response. Therefore, if I eat foods I am allergic to I get a flush but if I don't it is possible to take it without a flush.. When I was working on this I did have a period of time that I could take it without flushing. I don't remember the name of the book. It would have you take Niacin a certain time before or after eating and use the flush to see if a food was an allergen. I have also used pulse testing to determine food allergies. I eat only one food first thing in the morning, take my resting pulse, then wait 30 minutes and take my resting pulse again (keep taking the pulse when resting until it is the same for 2 30-second counts in a row). After eating an allergen my pulse would increase for perhaps 10 beats or more a minute.
I also bought a topical gel for sore muscles, tendons, and ligaments that has a Niacin flush locally, Vitastic Muscle Pow'r Gel by Alacer. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 Jun 2006 16:16:10 EDT From: [email protected] In a message dated 6/11/2006 2:04:05 P.M.

I don't know if their value as a vitamin is identical, but it apparently is pretty similar. Anyone else know?? -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
