Colchicine Used To Only Cost Pennies…
Those were the days! What crap. We’ve been using cochicine for gout treatment forever – for like $.05 a pill! Now Colcrys is “FDA approved” and it’s 5 bucks a pill!
The Autumn Crocus plant is where colchicine comes from. It’s been around and used since 1500 B.C. It was used for all kinds of rheumatic conditions and swelling. The plant has little bulb-like corns and goes by the name colchicum. The use of this type of colchicine for gout dates back to 550 A.D.
Good old Ben Franklin brought it to the America to deal with his own battle with gout. Specifically, for use as an anti-inflammatory and pain-reliever.
You can get homeopathic colchicum from your health food store. Colchicine for gout was just fine, but Big Pharma figured they could make another billion or two if they changed the game…now they are cashing in big on your pain! What are you going to do about it? I’m all about getting healthy and avoiding all the pharmaceutical crap I can – JUST SAY NO TO DRUGS!

Hi Bert,
The “remedy” of BS and ACV worked immediately as you said it would. A steady diet of banana-blueberry smoothies, green tea and celery on Day 2 has kept the swelling down. Not sure what caused the flare up as we eat a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables, lean beef, chicken and fish, and moderate alcohol use. Your theory of too much acid, possibly caused by stress, makes sense. Will try lemon-infused water to make my body more alkaline – plus continue the bananas, celery and cherries. Other ideas welcome. The drugs the doctor prescribed were making me sick, so your remedy (other than the ACV ? was a welcome relief.

Colchicine For Gout…
…was a big part of my former life of gout. They had me on that stuff on a daily basis! Most guys are only told to take it when they get an attack, my doc had me taking it everyday just in case! But nevertheless, colchicine for gout is almost like part of American history – if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Actually, I should be happy about this because the cost of this stuff is sending more guys my way looking for natural gout treatment and ways to prevent gout.
☆ The end of an era…colchicine for gout.
“I know your pain. Let me help you kill your gout for good! And teach you to advocate for yourself and take ownership of your gout recovery, by showing you how to live the gout-free lifestyle.” Two decades ago, Bert Middleton found himself diagnosed with gout. Like 8.3 million other people in the United States (approximately 4% of the population), he struggled helplessly with the physical, emotional, social, and financial impact that gout left unchecked can have on your life. Prescription drugs were of limited help… And the terrible pain of regular gout attacks left him unable to enjoy even the simplest daily pleasures. His marriage was suffering. His finances were spiraling due to the impact gout had on his ability to work. And maintaining a social life was often nearly impossible. Tophi surgeries left him in terrible pain. And he found himself depressed … and angry … that gout was stealing years of his life.
Until one day, after hundreds of hours of research and self-experimentation, Bert finally had a breakthrough and created a blueprint for a way of living that would prove to be “the answer” to living gout-free for nearly a decade now. Today, Bert and his “Gout Wife” Sharon devote their evenings and weekends to educating other gout sufferers on how to live the gout-free lifestyle. Showing others his 911 Emergency Response Gout Recovery Plan for getting PAINFUL gout attacks under control in as little as 4 hours. And then, how to make daily choices that keep gout under control for GOOD! So you can finally start LIVING again!
