Coffee: The Thiamine Menace

When you feel that first cup of coffee wearing off, you reach for another...Then another....Then another because your so worn out and tired from walking from the fax machine to the copy machine at the end of the hall.  First it picks you up, then it drops you on your head like a irresponsible teen mother on prom night.  Your left with a crushing fatigue, another victim of the coffee cycle.  And a victim of thiamine deficiency. 
Along with excessive sugar and alcohol, too much coffee seriously depletes the bodies stores of thiamine.  The result: jittery nerves, irritability and a feeling that your out of control.  Maybe you go around slamming cabinets, or sink into depression at the prospect of doing everyday tasks. 
Thiamine deficiency can lead to heart disease and cardiac failure if left unchecked and unchallenged for long periods of time.

No more Anti-Depressants try some Niacin

Niacin, a well known mineral beneficial of reversing schizophrenia and as well as alcoholism, may also be used to ditch the tranquilizers the doc is prescribing you.  Niacin works so well in the Nervous system that a research group Hoffman-La Roche Inc.  (The lovely Swiss people responsible for manufacturing Valium) has admitted that its effectiveness compares to that of certain tranquilizers of pharmaceutical grade.  They have found that like tranquilizers, niacinamide can induce "anti conflict" and "anti aggressive" feelings and that it relaxes muscles and relieves insomnia.  On a separate note use supplements of Niacinamide no more than 250 mg daily to relieve depression, swollen gums, headaches and even bad breath.
