Has anyone else done Dr Weir’s protocol for ME/long covid? I’m intrigued if it’s helped anyone?

I agree with @JES - those doses are low, and it's a very minimal protocol. I take:Has anyone else done Dr Weir’s protocol for ME/long covid? I’m intrigued if it’s helped anyone?

Yeah he is, and from what i know of him he takes a minimalist approach. But he's a very decent person.Dr. Weir is extremely conservative,

What's the purpose of taking the flushing niacin? Wonder if NAD+ it NMN might be better, along with P5P, which many are deficient in as over 100 processes use it and it'll convert to niacin as needed.He did recommend that I tried the Flushing Niacin

There are a lot of better things for hypercoagulation. NAD+ and NMN are more direct for helping energy.I think that the idea is that it MIGHT help with blood clots if indeed the research being done shows that they are a 'thing' in ME and Long Covid . My understanding is that the research is principally being done in the latter. I cannot recall exactly what Dr Weir said to me during the consultation on this subject. In my case I think he would have to be cautious (hence every other day treatment) due to already having below range platelets (only just though but with a history of thrombocytopenia in pregnancy.)
Yikes, can you tell us more? I have been taking non flushing niacinamide or nicotinamide for over a year. Is it a sudden suicidal mood or a gradual on-set low mood that can lead to feeling suicidal?Just a warning: it is possible for niacin to induce suicidal moods. It did for me. Of course, my ME is weird.

Ain't life fun ???!!!???The lesson is: if you suddenly feel like giving up on life, it might just be a reaction to something you ate/took.
