This post is hopefully going to spread the word a little about information on a section of the film Foodmatters. If you click on the link below you can either watch a trailer of the film or pay $4.95 for a one off, online viewing or buy the DVD. The film makers James Colquhoun and Laurentine Ten Bosch welcome the information in this film to be passed on due to it’s importance to peoples health, and the reasons why some of the content in their film is not commonly practised.

I would like everyone I care about to see this film, but even if they did would all of them change the way they eat or the way they approach treatment for an illness? Most probably not.

One person in particular in the film gave a couple of stories to grab my attention. That was Andrew W. Saul Ph.D who is a theraputic nutrition specialist & author.

He tells how he learnt of William J McCormick and Fred R. Klenner MD and their knowledge of using high dosages of Vitamin C to cure illness in the 1940’s.

Andrew W. Saul did not learn about this in med school, why would he ?

Would there be much more need for medical school in the future if healthcare was nutrition based ?

What I just found:

I just gooled Mc Cormick and Klenner to see if there was a newspaper article that could be referred t;o. I did not get that far as I found that the top article was entitled ” The pioneering work of Frederick Robert Klenner MD ” written by guess who? Andrew W. Saul

Here is the article http://www.doctoryourself.com/klennerbio.html

Niacin, alcoholism and depression:

Andrew Saul talked about Bill Williams the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Bill Williams worked with Dr Abraham Hoffer MD.

Hoffer and Williams became good friends. But Bill Williams suffered from severe depression.

Dr Abraham Hoffer suggested to his friend that he took 3,000mg of Niacin ( Vitamin B3 ) a day and it helped him feel better.

Bill Williams then suggested to alcoholics, that they took niacin for the depression and addiction and the majority who tried the niacin treatment experienced great improvements.

Williams then wanted Alcoholoics Anonymous to use niacin and vitamin therapy.

The medical profession rejected that idea, and so  to this day the AA to this day does not recommend vitamin therapy.

Phychiatrist does not recommed vitamin therapy:

The other story Andrew W Saul gave to express the effective use of Niacin for depression was this:

There was a suicidal lady in her 50’s who lived with her family.  She was severely depressed, always sitting alone, eating alone and spending most of her time just sitting in the corner in an uncommunicative state.

Her family asked about nutrition and Andrew W. Saul mentioned Dr Hoffers work with Niacin. Saul said that 3,000mg per day was Hoffers dosage, but  their daughter should have ” as much as it takes to make her  better”

At 11,500mg of niacin a day, the lady was sitting eating with the family as if nothing had happened. They took her to the psychiatrist so that he could see her in her ” well state” and the pshychiatrist said that the levels of niacin they were giving may be harmful, and to stop the vitamin treatment that had made her better.

Zero death toll:

There are not even enough deaths from niacin intake to equate to even 1 death per year.

Which would you feel safest with, for treating depression?

Taking 11,500mg of Niacin, or the usual prescribed doses of amitriptalyne, or prozac . Both drugs can cause suicidal tendancies !
