Yes, such as the allopurinol I take but will that eliminate the co-morbidities?
Yes...and every human is different chemically so no doctors really know how to treat gout. It’s a case by case basis. What kills me (almost literally) is the pharmaceutical companies (government) have spent millions of dollars perfecting pain killers so they’re not addictive and when I have a gout attack, i.e. it feels like someone is driving an ice pick through one of my joints, I cannot get pain killers.
Gout is caused by Uric acid.
And high levels of uric acid causes Metabolic Syndrome.
There are supplements available to reduce uric acid.
And there are videos on youtube that explain how uric acid functions in the body and why too much causes metabolic syndrome.
There are also devices similar to blood glucose monitors that can measure uric acid in the blood.
Gout is one of the trickiest maladies to treat because there isn’t consensus on causation. What causes the body’s inability to filter uric acid? It’s progressive, so it can’t be hereditary; but it could be damaged DNA.
Dr Joel Wallach says liver. Others say kidneys. Allopathic practitioners say it’s metabolic/hereditary.
Keep your eye on Dr Eric Berg (DC) on YouTube, he acknowledges the lack of consensus and is at least trying to think through the problem from a naturopathic/integrative angle. He also has some protocols— and he teaches better than anyone I have seen.
I’ve have BPPV for years and have never heard this before. Wonder how crystals in the inner ear has anything to do with gout? I don’t even know symptoms of.
