Even if you don’t have gout, pretend you do (or give this to your doctor).
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 wish I had known this last year before my wife passed away.
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.
94% survival vs. 98% survival?
Doesn’t sound like a big difference to me. Is it even statistically significant?
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.
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.
bkmk
I also heard several months ago that colchicine might be an effective remedy for the effects of Wuhan flu, so I renewed an old prescription for it just in case.
Maybe this is why I never got sick. I have gout.
A drug is not necessary for most situations - and never my personal first choice for anything.
(Modern allopathic medicine - instituted by John Rockefeller and Abraham Flexner in 1910 - is medicine based upon artificial controlled substances that enrich pharmaceutical companies and medical doctors, who are in turn licensed by NGOs controlled by Big Pharma. It is a fully rigged system.)
Gout is almost always a result of a diet that is too high in purines, and too acidifying (acid-forming). Too many “rich” foods, including wines, can induce it; alcohol can exacerbate the tendency by being dehydrating, thus concentrating the amount of uric acid in the system.
The blood must remain in a very narrow pH range for one to survive, but the other tissues (and, hence, urine) can vary widely in pH. When the tissues become too acidic, the uric acid precipitates out of solution, forming crystals; gravity ensures that they end up at the lowest point in the body: the toes.
Apple Cider Vinegar, though technically mildly acidic in the mouth, is alkalinizing in the tissues once metabolized. That in an adequate amount of water, alone or with some Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) - or my preferred blend of that with Potassium Bicarbonate - has reliably alleviated gout in a reasonable time frame for thousands of people for generations. As a nutritionist I have recommended this to many over the years with excellent results.
For the record, and for those who only trust Big Pharma and their unnatural (read: patented-for-profit-and-control) concoctions, I experimentally induced gout in myself, then tried the above with excellent results within a few days. I induced the gout by ingesting Brewer’s Yeast daily in incrementally-increasing amounts until the onset of gout. (Yes, it was acutely painful.)
Since many in America are chronically dehydrated, I also suggest the simple regimen used by Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, M.D., in his book, “Your Body’s Many Cries For Water”.
