It's not peer reviewed. It's a website and a terrible one at that. I don't think you understand what peer review is.
Stick to pharmaceuticals with all their peer reviews by all means and ignore vitamins, minerals and healthy food and lifestyle.
Those things have never been ignored that is just your opinion. How do we know what vitamins are and what they do? Science and genuine research is why. If you actually looked at the literature instead of making accusations after reading a book you might see it.
Should we just believe anything that anyone says purely because they believe it? That is basically what you are advocating.
This idea that 'science' is above common sense is prevalent throughout our consciousness at the moment.
I've never heard that idea before. Again you are stating your own opinion as fact.
We give away our power when we do this however.
No we give away our own power when we buy someone's book and just accept whatever they say without thinking for ourselves.
It makes it worse if we then try to spread it is as being scientific fact and get defensive when someone points it out.
If you are going to push your personal "religious" beliefs as science don't be surprised when they get questioned.
We don't need to worry about my 'religious' beliefs with you here as the defender of scientific truth. Can I ask you, have you experienced schizophrenia as you seem to present yourself as a scientific authority on the matter and are zealous to perpetuate the failed status quo? Or would you argue that the current peer reviewed scientific paradigm has been a success with $billions spent on the science. A pot of 100 niacin capsules costs less than $10.
Whether I have or not is not really any of your business and it is frankly irrelevant to the argument you are putting forth.
Experiencing schizophrenia has nothing to do with scientific evidence.
I see that you are not interested in any kind of debate but are only looking for confirmation of what you already believe.
To suggest that one must experience an illness in order to make a reasoned or rational discussion of it based on the evidence of the literature is patently ridiculous.
I wonder if you asked the same question of the person who wrote that book?
It isn't reading the book that convinces me of what I am presenting but having experienced mental illness and finding a simple solution after many years of looking. The book just confirms my own experience. I am sad there is a barrier or resistance to this information and I can't understand why unless it is just about the money.
Great if it worked for you that is fine. You should then write about it that way and say it is from your personal experience.
That is anecdotal evidence though and should be stated to be as such. You are making factual statements which people may take as medical advice and that is potentially dangerous.
There is no barrier or resistance to this information. The problem is that it does not meet the standards of scientific enquiry.
I suspect there may well be people doing real research on niacin right now and we may well find out about it in the future. Then again it may not work and sadly that kind of information i.e. negative results rarely makes headlines.
It is not some kind of conspiracy.
