Why use a pharmaceutical poison when you can use simple black pepper which is sitting in your kitchen right now?

I do have several bottles of (Bio)piperine.

Ordinary black pepper has no measurable effect on curcumin absorption.

The gout drug is not an elective thing. I wouldn't exactly call it a poison.

re: Gout

Just an FYI, a good friend of mine gets gout from time to time, and swears that getting a jar of maraschino cherries, drinking the juice and then eating the cherries gives some pretty quick relief.

Having an attack of Gout is right up there with an attack of diverticulitis in the pain dept.
