Survival rate for those given colchicine was 98%, versus less than 94% for other therapy use.
Even if you don’t have gout, pretend you do (or give this to your doctor).

The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List
This potentially high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.
Now keeping a new list (“Common/Top Issues”) for conditions expected to only concern at least 1% of the population. Ask to be on either the “Common/Top Issues” or “Everything” list.
Please email or private message me if you want on or off of a list and of which list you desire.

What about the Alupurinal ?

Wait. I thought that off label usage was disinformation now. What gives?

I’ve been watching some youtube videos on Uric acid (the cause of) and it’s effect on metabolism.
I don’t have gout, but I’ve started taking a supplement to reduce uric acid.

I’ve been on colchicine for a few weeks for an off label purpose. My DO said it can help with MCAS.
It’s an interesting drug as it’s one of the oldest known to man with it’s use recorded by the Greeks.
To: ConservativeMind
94% survival vs. 98% survival?
Doesn’t sound like a big difference to me. Is it even statistically significant?

It worked great for my gout that’s for sure. Almost a miracle drug IMO.

Colchicine worked for my last gout attack. It was really bad with my whole foot swelled up and skin ready to split. It felt like it had been blown off with a shotgun. No pain killers offered up, suffer like a dog I did. What passes for a doctor in this country anymore, spit. I was under the impression there is a limited supply of Colchicine.

If you look at the reverse numbers
6% to 2% is a 300% improvement.

...it’s one of the oldest known to man with it’s use recorded by the Greeks.Its name is derived from ancient greek as something close to "death to dogs".
It is quite toxic and needs to be used carefully. It basically halts cell mitosis - it stops cell division and that has to be tough on a lot of tissues.

Gout can a direct result of diet.
I kept getting flareups.... was prescribed
Colcrys to mitigate it. Was advised to modifiy my diet so I dropped pork, red meat and a few other things for the most part out of my diet and haven’t had an attack in years.
Alcohol can be a large contributor also.

After reading the side effects I passed on it. It causes cataracts from what I remember, that was reason enough for me to pass on it.

Big Pharma will kill it, so it doesn’t replace the expensive heart drugs, Jardiance and Entresto, and the not-so-expensive epelerone, pacerone, carvedilol.

Been there done that. Remarkably, 2000 MG of vitamin C daily with fruit cured my gout. Could be most gout may be scurvy in disguise. Human bodies don’t make their own vitamin C like most critters in this planet.

colchicine has been a medicine since ancient times. It can screw up the kidneys if you take too much.
When a doc prescribes this they usually take a uric acid test. And it is typically prescribed in case of a flare up so you don’t get a daily dose.

The clouding is seemingly temporary, but chronic use would keep it around.
