Prescription medical gout treatment is typically not advised for asymptomatic hyperuricaemia (high uric acid levels with no gout attack symptoms). These traditional medical drugs to treat gout are only used by informed doctors when there are gout attacks or kidney stones present. The unwanted side effects associated with these drugs and the damage that they may do to the organs does not warrant their use simply because of high uric acid levels in the blood. GC on the other hand can be used by both gout sufferers and people with high levels of uric acid. GC is safe and only has positive side effects from its use for anyone with or without uric acid problems. In fact, GC has a positive effect on type 2 diabetics by aiding to lower their insulin needs and can possibly even control border line cases to remain off insulin all together.
| ALLOPURINOL (Zyloprim)(a prescription drug) inhibits uric acid synthesis and has been linked to skin eruptions, inflammation of the blood vessels, and liver toxicity. Periodic liver enzymes, renal function tests and complete blood counts should be performed in all patients on allopurinol. Alterations in liver enzymes, including transient elevations of serum alkaline phosphatase, AST and ALT, have occurred in some patients. Reversible hepatomegaly, hepatocellular damage (including necrosis), granulomatous changes, hepatitis and jaundice have also occurred.

| COLCHICINE (a prescription drug) is used to alleviate attacks. This drug can cause serious side effects and toxicity and even death in high doses.Side Effects: 80% of people who take colchicine in doses that are high enough to be effective develop stomach problems, such as cramping, nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting. Serious side effects of colchicine include bone marrow problems, muscle inflammation, severe anemia, and extremely low white blood counts that can increase the risk of infection developing. Colchicine is usually avoided or the dose adjusted in people who have reduced kidney function. |

| INDOMETHACIN is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). NSAID's have become the treatment of choice among Doctors and Indomethacin is the most widely used prescription drug for most gout attacks. NSAID's may also have significant toxicity, but if used for the SHORT TERM they are generally well tolerated. |
|
| PREDNISONE is being prescribed for gout more and more these days. This immunosuppressive drug, though necessary in some cases, is associated with serious long-term side effects such as cataracts, bone loss, weakening of the immune system, and many others. One of the most serious complications from prednisone is the risk of osteoporosis, which occurs from the bone loss. The most commonly reported side effects are increased acid in the stomach, sodium retention, delayed healing, decreased ability to fight infection, bone and muscle problems, acne, night sweats, increased sugar in the blood, and thrush (yeast growth in the mouth which is a very strong indication of the lack of "friendly" bacteria in the body- sources strongly needed to fight infection). As with many other medications, Prednisone will cover up the disease but it is the underlying problem, the cause of the disease, that must be repaired.. |
"Quote from the BBC news Sunday, 9 May, 2004,
Gout treatments 'remain unproven'
There is little scientific evidence to support the use of some current treatments for gout, researchers say. The condition is usually treated with an anti-inflammatory drug, or with alternatives such as steroids.
But the journal Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin says much of the evidence for their effectiveness is anecdotal. Other experts have disputed that claim.
Gout affects around 600,000 people in the UK and is becoming increasingly common in men.
Gout generally involves very severe attacks of joint pain followed by long periods of remission.
The condition is caused by the formation of urate crystals within joints and other tissues.
Acute attacks are usually treated with an anti-inflammatory drug - in many cases indomethacin.
However, the DTB says there are no published studies showing whether this is the most effective treatment.
In fact, it says there is evidence to suggest that indometacin is no better, or more easily tolerated than other anti-inflammatory drugs.
Some people - for instance those with stomach ulcers - cannot take anti-inflammatory drugs.
In these cases doctors rely on alternative treatments such as colchicines and steroids.
However, the DTB says their use is based more on anecdotal experience than on published research.
Prevention
The journal also raises questions about preventative drugs (ALLOPURINOL) commonly prescribed to many patients to try to stop further attacks - drugs, which in many cases, may be taken for years.
Again, the journal says there is little published evidence on the effectiveness of such treatment.
It says patients, rather than GPs, should make the decision on whether and when to start to take such medicines long term.
Joe Collier, editor of Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin, said: "It is astonishing that we know so little about how best to treat the common (and very painful) condition gout.
"The drugs used are old, so there is no drive to do the necessary research. This is an unacceptable position and needs remedying."

With regard to the above medical published information about Gout, there is no evidence or research that Colchicine, Allopurinol, Indocin, or Prednisone do very much for Gout and it is known that all of the above drugs can be harmful to the patient and their organs over long term use. It is also a fact that most of the drugs above were never intended to be used for Gout in the first place.
