Unless I have the wrong spelling, colchicine is a mutant stimulator and what the entomology department was using to get fruit flies with wings coming out of the eyes.

Colchicine has technically been an “unapproved drug” rather than a “generic drug” as it predates the law that required drugs to be approved..."

Does aspirin fit this category as well?

Colchicine is an old old remedy for gout. It absolutely stops a gout attack for me. If I feel an attack coming on I take a regimen of 3 to 6 pills over a day. And it stops the attack. This happens to me maybe once or twice a year.

If anyone has ever had a full blown gout attack that may put you down for a week to ten days in excruciating pain, colchicine may be a miracle cure. It is for me!

If the FDA permits the price to skyrocket, I may have to grow my own. I understand it is a plant extract. Does anyone know?
