Niacin and the capillaries
Niacin has the property of causing the small blood vessels to increase
in size. These are the capillaries. Now, capillaries are often so small
that the blood cells pass through them in single file. It is the
capillaries that take care of the vast majority of all the cells in the
body. You have large arteries near the heart, and they get smaller and
smaller as they extend from the heart. But, at the end of every
well-sized artery is a very large network of capillaries. They all start
from the heart -- but at the end of the line they are tiny, tiny
capillaries.
Just take an arbitrary number for the number of living cells in your
body -- perhaps one billion. The exact number is not critical for this
purpose. Now, the question is: "How many of those billion cells are
within a fraction of an inch away from one of the large arteries so that
they can get rid of toxins directly into that artery, and to get
nutrients from that artery?" I don't know, but I'll guess that it is
less than 20% of all those cells.
Now, there are many miles of the small capillaries in your body -- a
vast network which gets within a small fraction of an inch of EVERY cell
in the body. It is the capillaries which nourish the cells and which
carry away the toxins.
Now, add into this equation the fact that most of the toxins in the
body are stored in fat cells. These fat cells can hold on to toxins for
years, never letting it go until some "event" (like sweating or
exercise). Then, the fat cells give up their toxins and they start
leaking out into the surrounding tissues. You can have a slow-leak batch
of fat cells that are poisoning you constantly. Much of the disease that
plagues mankind certainly comes from the constant slow leak of toxins
from these fat cells.
These fat cells, like the millions of others, are all within a fraction
of an inch of some capillary, but IF that capillary is clogged (as most
often they are), and if the blood cells move through them only one cell
at a time (single file), then you can see that there is not much chance
for those toxins to be cleaned up by the flow of blood.
If you could find something that would increase the size of these
capillaries, and not cause any harmful or adverse reaction, you can see
how beneficial this would be.
In fact, niacin does this -- it causes these miles of tiny capillaries
to increase in size.
It is the INCREASE in size, partly, which causes your skin to get red.
While there are miles of these capillaries all through your body, it is
near the surface of your body where the arteries are NOT! So, as all the
large surface of your body, your skin, is nourished by these small
capillaries, and as the capillaries get larger, you can naturally see
how the skin would show that increase in blood by getting red!
But, there is something else going on. I don't know of very many
researchers who have told this story in terms that the average person
can understand.
There is another substance to learn a bit about -- it is a hormone
called "histamine." You know of this substance when you buy
"anti-histamine" medicines. Without getting into a long story on that,
the "anti-histamine" substances are meant to reduce the action of
histamine -- this is usually not good!
What does histamine do in the body?
Well, first it can be produced by EVERY cell in the body. And, it is
nature's warning signal.
Whenever a cell is in danger (as, for instance, from a mosquito bite!),
the cells that are in danger emit histamine. That wonderful hormone has
the ability to send a message to those places in the body which change
the blood flow -- to send more blood (water) to that area to provide the
nutrients needed to heal the problem, and to carry away the toxins.
So, when a mosquito bites you, the area around the bite itches and
swells. That is the action of histamine coming to the rescue -- bringing
extra blood to supply nutrients to the cells that have been poisoned by
the mosquito bite, and to carry away the poison.
When a cell is completely overwhelmed (as when it is loaded with toxins)
it is in such apathy that it can't even release histamine -- in other
words, it is so sick that it can't even call for help.
Now, take a look at those cells near the capillaries. They are often
loaded with toxins and there is never enough blood flowing near them to
take the toxins away.
Now, put some niacin in your body!
The capillaries increase in size. How much? I don't know exactly, but
often at least double in size. Now, you have two blood cells going
through the capillary, side-by-side.
The chances that this increased blood flow can take away some of those
toxins is at least double what it had been.
As those poor cells start coming back to life -- getting rid of toxins,
they rise UP to the level where they can send out calls for help.
They send out small quantities of the hormone, histamine.
Histamine causes an itchy feeling anywhere it goes. It also causes the
body to send more water (blood) to that area, but what YOU experience is
the red skin and the itchy reaction from histamine.
If you take niacin and DON'T have a flush, it could be that your
capillaries are too far gone to be helped, or more likely, you don't
have a lot of toxins ready to be removed just then.
So, you should seek the niacin flush. It does a great deal of good for
your body -- increasing blood flow, taking nutrients to areas that are
starved, and taking AWAY some of those toxins that cause illness,
tiredness and disease.
Niacin and cholesterol:
It is well known that niacin is the safest way of reducing cholesterol counts -- without any other medication. It's also very inexpensive. However, you should know that high cholesterol readings are NOT a risk factor for heart disease. A great majority of doctors will tell you this, but it is not true. If you want to lower it anyway? Niacin will do that very safely.
The Flush
When you get that "flush" that means that the small blood vessels in
your body are being expanded in size because of the niacin. Many of your
small blood vessels, called "capillaries" are so small that blood cells
can go through them only in single file.
Sometimes, in fact, that small passageway is clogged and blood doesn't
get through at all.
While the large organs of the body all have blood supplied from large
arteries, a great deal of your body, particularly the parts near the
surface (skin and surface areas) get their ONLY supply of blood
(therefore also of oxygen and food!) from these small capillaries. So,
if those capillaries are not carrying the blood, then those parts of the
body are not getting nourishment and oxygen.
The niacin causes these small capillaries to get larger -- so they
might be able to carry two or three blood cells at the same time. This
is a tremendous increase in blood flow.
You experience this as a reddening of the skin -- simply because there
is more blood close to the surface of the body. As this blood flows in
these areas the cells of the small capillaries will also be getting rid
of their waste products, and often they produce "histamine" as part of
that process. That histamine is another natural substance produced by
every cell in the body -- when the cell is under attack, or is getting
rid of toxins.
Histamine causes an "itchy" feeling.
"Niacin can be very effective and safe in lowering low-density
lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels and also in increasing
high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. In combination with other
lipid-lowering drugs (eg, bile acid sequestrants), it has reduced the
incidence of cardiovascular events and stopped the progression of
coronary artery lesions. It may be the most cost-effective
lipid-lowering agent currently available.
You get the flush action from niacin, but NOT from niacinamide. Niacinamide was deliberately created to eliminate those factors in this B3 vitamin which cause the flush. While there are certain benefits from niacinamide, the real winner here is B3, the niacin.
- Do NOT take niacin with hot beverages, alcohol or spicy food.
- If any problems arise, other than skin flushing or itching, which goes away in 30-60 minutes, consult your health practitioner.
- Niacin is inexpensive and available at any health food store. I suggest you begin at 100 mg./day. If you are pregnant it is best to wait until you deliver to begin niacin. Please check your cholesterol and, after taking niacin for 30 days, check it again.
