The best remedy to prevent heart attacks .!
- Introduction: Prevent heart attacks naturally - The best natural remedy to prevent heart attacks - Niacin benefits - Niacin vs. statins - Side effects of statins - How to take niacin - Learn more about the best meal to protect your heart! Let's talk about the best natural remedy to prevent heart attacks: niacin. There's a lot of research on niacin that goes back decades. A placebo-controlled study called the Coronary Drug Project used niacin to show incredible results. It's important to get the type of niacin that gives you a flush—extended-release niacin is best. The benefits of niacin: • It can significantly lower cholesterol • It has potent cardiovascular protection effects • It's been found to decrease monocytes and other white blood cells and the inflammation that goes along with them • It can lower CRP (a predictor of heart attacks, peripheral vascular disease, and stroke) Niacin inhibits: • Vascular oxidation • Oxidative LDL • Vascular inflammation • Lipid deposits on artery walls • Triglycerides Niacin has the power to slow and reverse arteriosclerosis. It can decrease the mortality risk in people who have cardiovascular disease. It may also prevent endothelial dysfunction and can significantly reduce adhesions in the artery walls. It even increases HDL—known as the "good" cholesterol. Statins are a common medication for high cholesterol. It's true that statins block and lower cholesterol. But there is no evidence that statins reduce your risk of heart attacks. Statins work by blocking the production of cholesterol. The problem is that you need cholesterol to make bile salts. Without bile salts, you can't absorb important vitamins. You also need cholesterol to make testosterone. It's unknown whether statins increase your life or not. But we do know they have a lot of side effects, including: • Blocking coenzyme Q10 (the heart requires coenzyme Q10) • Muscle wasting • Low blood pressure • Heart failure • Muscle aches and pain If you're concerned about your heart, talk to your doctor about taking niacin.

Just like probiotics and nonfat greek yogurt and aloe vera treat GERD no doctor talks about natural healing since they are owned by big pharma! Thank you Dr. Berg for this tip! My mother died from sudden heart failure at 67 and really was painful since she was chain smoker and drinker and did not exercise nor eat healthy.
I’ve said it before, I say it again: Dr. Berg is a lifesaver. Appreciated, Doc 👏🏼
Dr. Berg, as a 20 year nurse, I’ve avoided statins and metformin pushed on me, and taken 500mg niacin for years. However, I stopped the high dose because I was concerned about its affect on the eyes. There’s reports of keritination of the cornea. Could you elaborate more on that in a future vid?
@Fearless Since my first comment, I got the 100mg capsules, and have worked my way up to two of them per meal, and that has worked out with minimal side effects. Give it a try if the flushing is too much for you.
@A. R. Damn man what are yous doing?? Just blindly taking a supplement. Do some more research you had a niacin flush which is completely normal and some enjoy like myself. That’s why it’s always advised to start 100-200mg a day and work up slowly. Another point is that full flush niacin generally is the best the other forms don’t work aswell and have been associated with hepatoxicity. Get used to the flush or work up slowly
@Gsg5437 I don’t think you read the whole discussion. Secondly, this is part of my research.
@A. R. I see the discussion now I was replying to your first comment apologies
@Gsg5437 No worries.
As a kid I clearly remember my mother and grandmother taking Niacin, this was almost 55 years ago. The reason I remember is because they would blush almost hot pink, specifically my grandmother. My mother past away from a stroke, but after taking a severe blow to the head by falling. My grandmother died of natural causes at 112. She died at home and we were out drinking at restaurants till 106. My father is currently 103 and healthier than myself and lives independently. I should had started taken Niacin long ago, instead I am taking Crestor.
Get off all cholesterol meds ..bergamot with niacin is all you need
Are you ninja turtles?
Can we all agree this man is a gem . We appreciate everything you do .
Absolutely
Agree!😊
What is aGOOD vitamin for iron deficient anemia
Yes he’s WONDERFUL ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
N.P., let it go.
I started taking Niacin right after this video came out because I had just seen my Dr.(August 2022) and she wanted to put me on Statins due to high LDL. This video was so timely. Fast forward to Feb 3, 2023 my LDL dropped 30 pts after I started taking Niacin 500mg. Thank you Dr. Berg!!!
I don’t know the numbers my doc just says it is high
@IDNJC I would go to Whole Foods to buy it. Can’t go wrong there
Where did you get the kind that gives the flush, please?
My former doc wanted me on statins for high LDL too. I told her I didn’t want to take any more meds.
@hotdrumchick statins mess with the liver the last thing we want. There is so many natural ways to lower it and they work well. Just got to be patient. The statins dont work any faster.
I love how calm dr Berg talks. Like he doesnt need to scream to be heard.
That’s because his wife may be napping in the next room.
SO CALM
Rolling in the floor over here. He’s the only one on mic so he doesn’t have to talk louder.. lol
Jovi, you are exaggerating; and a bit sycophantic!
#1 don’t take clot shot
People who are prone to shingles should probably avoid niacin as it can cause flare-ups. Also, if you take more than 200mg per day of niacin you should also take equivalent dosages of TMG to prevent any methylation issues. Niacin will hinder methylation long term and TMG will offset this. So, if for example you take 500mg of niacin, take 500mg of TMG as well. Just thought I would throw this out there because the last thing you want is to throw your methylation ratios out of whack.
Lastly, if you are concerned about your methyl donors being depleted you can check your homocysteine levels or better yet get a Dutch test done and this will show a better picture of how well your body is methylating. I’ve seen perfect homocysteine levels in people and then after doing a Dutch test it proved that their methyl donors were depleted. I believe with time that eventually the homocysteine levels would increase, but it is always better to catch things like this before it shows up on blood tests.
BTW, I’ve been in healthcare for over 27 years trained in integrative functional medicine and I specialize in the prevention and reversal of disease. Excellent video as usual by Dr. Berg. Just wanted to add in a few pointers since his videos are fairly short I am certain that is why he didn’t point this out.
Thanks for sharing, any contraindications for those with kidney issues/disease?
You mean if you’ve already had shingles more than once?
@WratharikNiacel is NAD not nicotinic acid aka niacin
Would you agree to a gradually increasing niacin from 50mg for a week then more into 100mg eventually after 9 weeks reaching 500mg. And is it necessary to take that amount every day? Also should it be the time release type?
You’re such a good doctor caring for everyone, telling the truth and give us more knowledge and prepare us for better health results. Keep it up Dr. Berg! I’m your #1 fan and listener..🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤
Around 1989 My Cholesterol was 428; recommended a statin but instead took flush-type Niacin,which WAS more readily available then.
Testing 4 months later Cholesterol down to 215.
Some Dietary changes too,of course.✌️😎
Thank you for sharing this important information, great news!
428! Holy cow!

Thank you so much Dr.Berg for mentioning Niacin as a treatment for lowering cholesterol I actually started taking it about four months ago and it has already lowered my cholesterol and as you mentioned much more tolerable than a statin. You are now officially my family doctor and I don’t have to wait three hours to see you. Your videos are awesome and so informative.
@Irene Hidalgo I cleared up my chest pain by using high doses of both Natto and Serrapeptase on an empty stomach.
@bill stock What brand do you take? And what dosage did you start with? How are LDL #’s currently?
@MamMaw sorry for the delay. As per your question I am taking 500mg daily with evening meal and the brand I take is Webber Natural, it can be found at Costco or major pharmacy. My previous LDL number was between 310-330 and the most recent blood test showed that it was 209 which is still a little too high because after cardiac event doctors recommend it to be around 180.Keep in mind that Niacin is only part of the solution you must also keep sugar and carbs to a minimum along with saturated fat (dairy,cheese,cream etc..).
The fact that we get this information
for free is truly a blessing. I appreciate you Dr 😎
“You know your rich when you can share everything you have a lose nothing”. Blessings be upon you
Thank you Dr. Berg . I appreciate all your information you give . You are a gift to a lot of people.
You better read up on taking this much niacin. Not deadly but it does create problems.
U want a blessing? Go YouTube: are you a good person by living waters…watch the whole thing and apply what it tells u to do
Hey Dr. Berg. Im 230 lbs male. I researched niacin a few months ago & decided to take a 500mg dose in the morning with my other supplements that i take after 2 eggs for breakfast. The flushing was terrible. Tingling itching burning sensation in my arms, face, & head that lasted for around an hour. I reduced dose to 100mg. Now i just get tingling in my face & ears for a few minutes. Just an fyi to start the dose low & maybe increase if you want to…….thanks for all you do. Scott.
The digestion does that. But I think you should work your way up to 500 don’t just take 500mg do it during couple of months at least and was this the time release type?
P
same lol. I should have took with food like the bottle surgest
@TripleFire 1969 dr. Berg said it has to be flushing niacin to work
@Allen Michael Cohen madeis USA OR China? Third party verified?
God Bless You Dr. Berg! Thank you for helping and educating people that they can be empowered to improve their health.
@Dr. Eric Berg DCwhat a great guy. Learned a lot from you my friend!
@Алексей Лесуков No, it helps the liver very much, including with cholesterol. I think Dr Berg explains in some of his earlier videos on niacin ❤
He’s awesome! Always my go to. My Dr wants me to take statins but I’ve held off. My ldl is 448. High, but not extreme. She wants me to take them because I just turned 70 + my ldl level. Seems dumb to me because I’m pretty healthy & I’m young for my age. My BP is a bit high, but not alarming & 10 mg per day of lisinopril is the only med I take. I think Dr Berg is far more knowledgeable than my Dr, so I’m going to start the niacin asap & see what my blood test says in 6 months.
@Diane Sullivan Ok. What is important know is your triglycerides number. Many more doctors have been informed about this but not all, not even 20% of doctors yet. I suggest you get this number as soon as possible and send her some videos from Dr Berg’s interviews with researchers and other experts on cholesterol.
@Алексей Лесуков yes it can be hard on the liver when consistently such high doses.
God watch over and protect this man at all cost Amen. Thank you Dr Berg for more helpful information
Very glad to be of help.
Wow thanks Dr. Berg. I just turned 50 and lost both of my parents who had relatively poor health quite early in life. Dad had diabetes in his 40’s, several heart attacks and ultimately died of cancer at 53. Then my mom suffered from Parkinson’s in her 40’s which she succumbed to last year at age 72. I feel overwhelmed and anxious about my health and try to approach my lifestyle differently than my parents so deeply appreciate all of your helpful tips that are affordable! Healing shouldn’t make someone break the bank. Would it be ok yo take niacin if you don’t have known heart issues but for prevention?
@cry now laugh later I know that. but fungus.. is it really good for you????? honestly..
@Charlane McConkey have you found any good information or anything helpful?
A hug from me.
There he goes again, saving peoples lives!!❤
For now, anyway.
We all gotta punch that ticket someday, but I’d like to be healthy, vital, aware, and not suffering beforehand.
@Jim S >> Says who << some people CREATE (contribute) ... some people DESTROY (take) ... you can get FULFILLMENT from either ... for some one may be easier than the other ... (which one are you?)
Lol,name one.
@Babu Vangu Mine.
@Audrey M
Salt or gold?
Thank you so much Dr Berg.
Oxidized LDL seems to be a primary villain for cardiovascular disease.
Those of us who are genetically predisposed to high levels of small LDL, live in fear of it oxidizing but don’t know how to prevent it from happening.
This advice could potentially save millions of lives.
God bless you for sharing it.
A good vitamin E stops LDL from oxidising. I use AC Grace’s Vitamin E
@Alex Ryan fasting for 10 days water only don’t eat don’t work don’t exercise drink water you will be fine
@Alex Ryan
Alex,
Fish oil lowers triglycerides quickly.
@Siberian Husky ok but isn’t Doctor Berg an actual doctor?
RE: My recommendations for the type of Niacin. You won’t have options for buying this vitamin (synthetic or natural). The only thing to keep in mind with buying niacin, to get the benefits I described is that you want the one that creates the flushing response. The non-flush doesn’t give you the heart benefits, however, does give different benefits.
I didn’t like the flush the itch the redness in my face it just felt alwaful how often are you supposed to do it. I could not do that daily
I hope everyone who is saying the flush stops them from continuing taking it that the flush does lessen over time as your body you take nician!
@arifshahabuddin8888 hi which form of niacin do you consume? Thanks
so exactly how many pils all in all do we have to take for good health? 75? 100?
