If I recall correctly I have came across some companies that offer such test. Bioresolve (www.bioresolve.com) comes to mind. Such DNA testing companies will scan your entire genome for under 300$ and report on hundreds of conditions already. Maybe this professor has found new genes - if so this would be indeed interesting. It just seems likes this is already been done, or am I wrong?

There's much written about the therapeutic use of niacin on the website www.cholesterolscore.com . If only half of what's said there is true, then niacin is terribly underused as a medication for improvement of all the blood/lipid numbers. I've been using niacin to control my cholesterol for almost five years. For me, niacin's side-effects became almost undetectable after a couple of months. After having used niacin for several months, my cholesterol numbers improved so much that my doctor suggested that original numbers may have been a testing error.
