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.
Just as an aside, statins also causes ED, so for men that is another big reason to avoid it.
