Treating gout with this protocol is an act of faith. There is so much (mis)information on the internet regarding niacin as a cause of gout/hyperuricemia. It’s either misinformation or incomplete information. Taking the N/G leap before my gout symptoms were completely cleared was a very difficult decision for me but I eventually bit the bullet.
As for this research showing an association of metal exposure to the gout condition, it makes me wonder if niacin detoxes metals from the body which then accumulate in the kidneys unless they are overpowered by N/G In other words, an insufficient level of niacin will cause gout in some people with heavy metal loads but these loads can be overpowered by niacin and glutamine.
At any rate, after my 9 day vacation during which I took 2.5 g N/3 g G each day, I’m back up to 2 X 5N/6G daily. Working my way to 2 X 10/12 per day because I still need to detox a lot of crap out.
