Niacin for Colds
This cold is a pretty good one. Maybe not the 100 gram type that Cathcart refers to
but it came on fast and strong. I probably took close to 50 grams of
vitamin C both Sunday and yesterday and I am continuing today.
Over at the C For Yourself Blog, the author in the past
suggested using
Niacin in combination with
vitamin C. Yesterday on the way home, I picked up some no flush Niacin
at the store and took some. No flush refers to the flushing side effect
which tends to turn your face red. These are probably time release
capsules. At any rate, I woke up about midnight and I felt quite a bit
better. And today I am doing ok although I still have lingering congestion in
both head and chest. The Niacin capsules were 300 mg. Perhaps
they have worked and I have turned a corner. But doing the biathlon tomorrow
is looking very unlikely. I just don't have the energy or the
motivation right now and I am not fully recovered. So probably
no biathlon this year unless there is another one later that's not
on Sunday morning.
