Niacinamide for Reversing Alzheimer's?

According to Dr. David Williams of the natural health newsletter Alternatives, niacinamide, which is the alkaline form

of niacin (or vitamin B3) can restore memory loss caused by Alzheimer's.

 

Researchers at the University of California at Irvine, gave mice with medically induced Alzheimer's the human equivalent

of 2000 to 3000 mg of niacinamide.  After a four-month treatment with niacinamide, "Cognitively, they were cured" said

Dr. Kim Green, one of the researchers. (J Neurosci 08; 28: 11500--11510)

 

Evidently, niacinamide not only further memory loss, but also restored memory loss function.  Dr. William Kaufman was

taking and prescribing niacinamide as far back as the 1930s.  He and his wife took it everyday in 250 mg doses for 55

years.

 

I'll have more information for you on this vitamin in the near future.
