Hey Karen! Every time I see your avatar picture I smile - I Dream of Jeannie was one of my all time favorite shows once upon a time...
The way I read it is that when they synthesized a Nicotinamide (which is also a naturally occurring active form of the "vitamin" Niacin), and and applied it to 59 plus human tumor cell lines, it achieved promising anti-tumor results.
I am doin' good - wish we were neighbors!
