Guest guest Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 why is it, that all the products that help are acid, and didnt I read that we want less acid in our food, bodies? Maybe Im missing something.. Judith - " Dr. Ian Shillington " <DocShillington <herbal remedies > Saturday, December 24, 2005 10:45 AM Re: Herbal Remedies - Niacin question for Doc Absolutely! Niacin is what you want. Niacinamide is next to useless and is the salt form. As such it is too stable to really be effective. Niacin on the other hand is in an acid form, is highly assimilable and goes to work immediately.

Is one better or better assimilated than theother? I read that niacinamide doesn't cause flushing.....is it not as effective? Thanks Jeanne -------------- Original message -------------- " Dr. Ian Shillington " <DocShillington Niacin is not a drug. It is a vitamin = B3 Vitamins are not drugs.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 Dear Judith, Actually, there are many things both Acid and Alkaline that are good for our bodies. As is the usual case, an over abundance of either can be damaging where a little of each is beneficial in their proper quantities. Currently the trend throughout the world is Acidosis (to much acid) and so it gets most of the attention and rightfully so. Both Acid and Alkaline are quite assimilable by the body whereas "neutrals" are less so. Apple Cider Vinegar (an acid) is excellent for the body, and is one of the greatest catalysts for getting other things in. This is why ACV works so great in Formulae like Total Tonic. It gets the herbs absorbed quickly. It is also why glycerine is so poor as a menstruum in making tinctures. Hope this helps.
