Page 287 Successful Treatment of Schizophrenia Requires Optimal Daily Doses of Vitamin B3 For over 50 years Dr. Abram Hoffer has been educating clinicians about the need to correctly (optimally) dose schizophrenics with vitamin B3 (niacin; niacinamide). For the past 10 years I have, likewise, educated numerous naturopathic and medical doctors about the very same thing. For some reason, both types of clinicians routinely treat schizophrenic patients with plenty of vitamins, minerals, and other natural health products, but they never provide enough vitamin B3. In these authors opinions, schizophrenic patients cannot get well if not provided with optimal doses of vitamin B3. This prevents the real acceptance of nutritional treatment since clinicians will not observe favorable results when inadequate treatment is provided; their schizophrenic patients will continue to suffer needlessly.
