I've posted before regarding my 92 y/o dad. My dad gets gout and suffers with it and it pains me to watch him deal with it. He started working when he was 13, was a lifer in the AF, worked when he got out, never stopped, even when he retired he always had a project. I go to his house early every morning, around 7 am. He said he could feel his gout coming on, as time progresses gout just gets worse. I have a stash of ivermectin at his house in case the need arises. I decided why not give him one, it can't hurt. Well hell, by the next morning the gout was gone. He said that has never happened...he was smiling. He has to deal with this every couple months so I'm going to stay on top of this and hope this is the answer.

I know 6 men with gout. All of them are/were taking statin drugs, Lipitor or Crestor. None of them drink alcohol or have rich diets. A couple of them stopped taking it and gout went away.
Nobody should EVER take a statin drug. Statins will eventually destroy your liver. It's not a question of if, but when. That's why they require constant blood tests when you take statins, they're looking for signs of the liver damage they 100% know is coming. When they start to see signs of liver damage, they'll switch you to a different statin until that damages your liver too. All to lower your cholesterol, which doesn't cause heart disease like they lie and tell us it does.
Yea the doctor, years ago tried to get me to start taking Statin drugs for cholesterol. I told him that I am engineered for high cholesterol as my entire family has it. My moms level was off the charts and she lived till 93.
I have told other doctors this same line, and most of them agree with me, that some people are wired to have higher cholesterol than other.
Same here.
A statin basically stops or slows your liver functions all in the name of decreasing something your body naturally produces...and needs! No thank you.
