Bill, since you asked, I can see no " vitamin B6 controversy " in

the article by Marshall Smith. I think it is just a poorly

researched opinion piece.

 

Smith does not deliver the goods; his comment that " excess "

niacin is simply peed out does not define that excess except by a

reference to the laughable RDA!

 

Dr Abram Hoffer on the other hand has been delivering the goods;

he has been treating schizophrenia, depression, anxiey and

insomnia using high niacin and b6 doses etc, for more than 40

years. Obviously, niacin and b6 has a function at high doses and

it's not simply cleared fom the body as Mr Smith suggests.
