Not to mention, colchicine can be toxic with potentially lethal

Gout happens when you consume too much protein, fat, alcohol along
with
carbs. Cut the carbs, consume only moderate alcohol, and the gout
will
vanish.

Just where did you get your medical degree - from a cracker jack box?

http://www.arthritisinsight.com/medical/disease/gout.html

Causes of Gout
This is one of the few types of arthritis where the cause is known. It
results from deposits of needle-like crystals of uric acid in the connective
tissue, joint spaces, or both. Normally this is a byproduct of the breakdown
of purines or waste products in the body. Normally uric acid breaks down in
the blood and is eliminated in urine. When the body increases its production
of uric acid or if the kidneys do not eliminate enough of it from the body,
levels build up. This is called hyperuricemia. Hyperuricemia is not a
disease and is not dangerous. However, if excess uric acid crystals form as
a result of hyperuricemia, gout can develop.

Foods that Cause Gout

Some people may benefit from a reduction of purine rich foods. These include
beer and other alcoholic beverages, anchovies, sardines (in oil), fish roes,
herring, yeast, organ meats (e.g., liver, kidneys), legumes (e.g., dried
beans, peas, and soybeans), meat extracts, consommé, gravies, mushrooms,
spinach, asparagus, cauliflower, and poultry. Weight loss can help reduce
uric acid levels in those people that are overweight.

Gout Treatment

Although there is no cure, most people with gout can keep it under control
and lead normal lives. Treatment may consist of one treatment or a
combination of treatments.

For those unaware, colchicine and allopurinol work in entirely different
ways. One helps you pass excess uric acid out of your body, and the
other works to block production of uric acid, which explains why some
folks take one medication routinely and the other on an "as needed" basis.
I can't say I've actually ever had a patient with toxicity issues to the
cochicine? We used to dose it until they hit the point of gastric
distress (diarrhea).
I'd personally take allopurinol and colchacine before steroids, if I had
gout.

Wasn't that the stuff giving people heart attacks? I'd rather you

Anti-Virus
Software

Anti-virus software is used to find, remove or fix files that are
infected with computer viruses. Most anti-virus companies release
weekly updates of their databases to help keep you safe. Your anti-
virus software uses these weekly updates (also known as virus
signatures or definitions file) to identify newly discovered viruses.

I know I've never considered my cars to be investments, always an
expense. However, if you play your cards right that expense can be
minimal. And if it helps you acquire more income, then it's a tool :)

Where are you drawing the line? ANY car that makes it possible to keep your
job could be considered an investment.

Is it an investment if you buy a $35K car when you have a $19K a year
job? But if you look at the traditional term "investment" the item
itself appreciates in value, a car does not. In the case mentioned
where the cost outweighs the return, it's not a good investment.

Try telling that to the folks on Craigslist trying to get $3500+ for
the non-running 62 Dodge Dart sitting in grandpa's barn that hasn't

Yes, a bad one.

Its the total value thats intended to increase over time, not just the value of the car.

Yes, but its still an investment, albeit a bad one.

I am one of those who said equity in a vehicle is akin to savings - but
I never said it was a *good* form of savings :)

NPR recently ran a story about collapsing SUV values. A guy who paid
$72,000(!) for a Cadillac Escalade last year was offered $32,000 for it
at carmax. I think the guy would be a fool to sell at that price, since
I think gas prices are in a speculation bubble right now. Problem is,
the payment is so high he cannot keep up. Check and mate. Repossession
must be tempting for him because the bank would get royally screwed.

Good practical cars (unfortunately for us bargain hunters) don't
depreciate nearly so fast.

No, I was an English major!

It's probably some sort of code signalling an attack on something.
Perhaps we should turn him in to...uh... What if he's NSA?

If you stick you hand outside and find the air considerably cooler
than inside the house, fans will usually suffice.
Some people never open a window and run their A/C 24/7.
Wasteful, except they save the physical effort of effort of checking
the temp, and opening/closing windows.
This is aside from the humidity issue you mentioned.
Some claim allergies of course.

connected directly to numerously related sub-sets, with billions of
primary or secondary database family history and genealogy records.

Within the last few weeks, a review was made
in Salt Lake City, Utah, at the LDS Family
History Library, of every link posted
on their internal computer systems, to
verify as fact that our web site is indeed:
"The most comprehensive Genealogy
and Family History online Handbook,
How-To-Guide and Manual." Quality of
research resources is assured by the
inclusion of links from study guides,
from major institutions of the world.

restricted to private Email correspondence).
Editing all changes to the core base
of information and link sites is done
professionally, before being posted online.
Every page of this web site has at
