    Gout sufferer here. I had Kidney function of 48 about ready to go on Dialysis. I started taking Corcyceps 4 grams in the morning and 4 grams in the afternoon and 3 months later my Kidney function was at 117...the Dr said I had the kidney function of a teenager and I am in my 50's. And I was doing Keto eating eggs, beef, cheese, and during that time I had not a single gout attack.

      @@beniirama4076 actually my kidney function per the numbers is more stable than it was plant based. I don't pretend to have the answers all I know is what is working for me for my genotype. I truly believe we all have to listen to our. bodies make changes to our diet according to our environment, age and energy output. To be 100% honest I love eating grains especially whole grains. I used to eat oatmeal every morning I used to bake artesian breads, I made my own sourdough starter and I love pasta, if my body tolerated those carbohydrates I would still be eating a diet with lots of "healthy grains" as the American Heart Association labels them. I truly feel better on my ketovore diet. I eat a lot of different types of meat compared to most. My meat rotation consist of 4 different types of wild caught fish (fish everday), grain and grass finished beef, pasture raised pork, wild boar, venison, bison, elk, lamb and pasture raised heirloom chicken. Additionally there is some beef and bison tongue, heart and liver thrown in 3 to 4 times a month plus lots a free range organic eggs daily. Fortunately my body tolerates dairy in the form of butter, cheese and naturally strained Greek Yogurt. I limit my veggies to the ones I tolerate such as onions, garlic, avocados, tomatoes, chilies, some greens, limited cruciferous and legumes so my diet does not meet the definition of carnivore. If I eat certain vegetables and my body reacts I pay attention to that. I fully expect as I age my diet will need modifications.

      Yes, it is a zinc ionophore. When zinc is deficiently supplied dietarily, it cannot take its all important part in many protein formations, and gets substituted for, making the protein mis-fold and become dysfunctional. The body thought it had made a needed protein, but did not. Zinc needs a carrier, an ionophore, to move into a cell from outside, in order to get to the site of proteins being made. Quercetin is a good ionophore. Part of the reason that the toxic metal lead is so toxic to many physiologic pathways is that it often substitutes for the zinc, making the protein not work because it mis-folds.IMHO

      I thought I had a fracture as well. The swelling got so bad it caused tendonitis. It's been over a year, two specialists, a cortisone shot, a boot and fear of never being able to walk without pain until my dad had me take ONE indomethacin pill. The drastic change led me to reading more about uric acid and how to reduce it naturally. My UA bloodwork came back at 4.5 after I had taken the indomethacin. I believe it was higher but cleared enough out to appear normal on the bloodwork. Finding out 4.5 is close to high for a woman (according to the good Dr.) I plan to keep working on UA reduction and clearing, as well as dietary changes. Tart cherry juice, turmeric and dandelion have been a huge help. Good luck!

    Again - yeast is used in the fermentation of wine, just as much as in beer. That argument for purines in beer doesn't stand up. I'd reason that beer is fermented with the whole grain (malted wheat/barley) + hops in the must. Wine is fermented grape *juice* and the fruit pulp is not included in the fermentation must. I don't know off hand if the fructose in grape juice is also part of the fermentation process but as it doesn't trigger uric acid production I'd say that it is fermented along with any glucose. It would be interesting know where cider (UK alcoholic type) fits in this hierarchy.

    I need to call my doctor. I have had Gout for decades, but haven’t paid much attention to UA levels because I take Allopurinol and have had no gout attacks in over 10 years.
    So after listening to this, I pulled out the copy of my last bloodwork to see what the Uric acid level was, and it said, ‘None found.’
    Normally that would sound good to me but after listening to Dr. Perlmutter I did some research and you can have too low Uric Acid levels that can cause problems too.
    I have to believe the None Found means they didn’t test for Uric Acid. And if not I want to know why not for a gout patient on Allopurinol?

    One thing he said that surprised me is that Allopurinol also lowers high blood pressure and improves metabolic function. Then he said the Quercetin, Vitamin C and Luteolin combo ‘almost’ lowers Uric Acid as well as Allopurinol.
    If Allopurinol lowers uric acid better than the natursl supps, and provides added benefits like lower blood pressure and improved metabolic function….then why not just stick with Allopurinol?

      ^those natural supplements wont be as potent as allopurinol. some might bring risk to kidney, while allopurinol itself bring risk for the liver. that is why you better have a blood check first, for your kidney functions (ureum, creatine, egfr, and if possible, acr) and your liver function (sgot, sgpt). if all good, and you want to lower your uric acid fast, better choose allopurinol. if you choose the natural herbs, you have to combinw it with restrictive gout diet also (avoid red meats, sweets, certain fruits, alcohol and processed food that mostly rich in sodium and added refine sugar)

      @@beniirama4076 fruit doesn’t raise uric acid and red meats are blamed way too often. People don’t have gout these days from red meat, they have it from the refined carbs and sugars. If you were to correct the insulin resistance that virtually all gout sufferers have, then uric acid would be properly excreted, (high insulin blocks uric acid excretion). Doing this is already a better solution than Allopurinol, especially for younger people like myself. However Allo is still a necessity in the cache of gout treatment.

    A gout attack began just over 24 hours ago, so as one does, I began searching once again for solutions.
    I've ordered Luteolin as well.
    Quercetin was available locally at my pharmacy, so I got that and have taken 1 gram right away and another gram 7 hours after that just before bed. It's been 17 hours since the first dose and the flare up has stopped and the swelling is over 50% gone. It is far less painful at the site when pressed, which is amazing, as typically it is extremely painful to touch for several days. It usually gets worse for a few days, to the point I can barely walk, even on a decent dose of pain meds.
    For an acute attack, this has worked wonders. The goal of course is to Drop Acid permanently and not need acute therapy again. Just my experience.

      I do not drink any alcohol. I think that with the side effects of it and the damage it does to brain cells, any alcohol is best avoided. That's my opinion. My late husband's dr. told him it was okay to have a few beers, but my husband was an alcoholic and he took that to mean he could keep drinking a case of it every week. ( told the dr how much he drank but the dr ignored me )So, it's not a good idea for dr's to promote drinking alcohol. Oh, my late husband died at 44. My nieces dr told her it was okay to have a glass of wine now and then, but she drank so much of it she ended up a diabetic. My late brother in law drank hard liquor, he would have black outs ended up going blind, had diabetes. Dr's have to understand that most people are alcoholics with their drink of choice, and none of it is good for the body really. All people hear when a Dr says anything about any alcohol being good for them is that they can continue drinking what they want. All forms of it is highly addictive and people in the USA certainly are keen on it to get them through life. Most people will never admit to be an alcoholic, again because the are one. So I'd really like to see Dr's be smart and stop saying any alcohol is good.
