Laree,
It is amazing to me sometimes how physicians and health care personnel either are ignorant of important areas such as nutrition and supplements and/or do not give patients reasonable information. Are they taking for granted that everyone knows that blood tests can be affected by what they have ingested for days before or do they just not understand that themselves? Kind of scary, you know?
You are taking quite a large dose of niacin. Please make sure you get a liver profile because large dosages of niacin can involve changes in liver enzymes.
This morning I added a 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon to my oatmeal. I read in Sunday's paper that there is anecdotal evidence that 1/4 teaspoon per day can significantly lower cholesterol levels. I had known about cinnamon's effect on insulin resistance and its value for marginal diabetics but I didn't know that it could improve cholesterol levels. I love cinnamon but I am not sure if I will get sick of it everyday.
I am anxious to find out how all our future blood tests will turn out. We are a big experiment here on IOL that could be of value to all of us.
