Guest guest Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 William Kaufman, M.D., Ph.D. was one of the first doctors to recommend high doses of vitamins in the treatment of arthritis. His publication bibliography dates from 1936 to his death at the age of 88 in 2000. One focus of his work was the use of niacinamide , a form of vitamin B3, in the treatment of arthritis. He treated arthritis with niacinamide for over 60 years and has published research on this topic beginning in 1953. His claim is that niacinamide acts as a therapeutic agent greatly reducing arthritis pain. The following articles discuss his ideas concerning niacinamide and arthritis: Dr. William Kaufman, B-3 and Arthritis http://www.doctoryourself.com/JOM1.html Some Notes on Niacinamide Therapy for Arthritis http://www.doctoryourself.com/kaufman3.html The Common Form of Joint Dysfunction http://www.doctoryourself.com/kaufman5.html Double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials consistently report a therapeutic effect of fish oil supplementation for arthritis. Effects most commonly reported include reducing the number of tender joints and morning stiffness. The mechanism of this effect is thought to be related to a reduction of the inflammation response associated with arthritis.
