I had a number of attacks of Gout over the past few years - each progressively longer and more painful. After trying diet changes, shoe changes, and various other things (none of which worked), I was a bit frustrated. Since I have been unable to address the source of the problem (no one seems to have any clue what the root source of the problem is), I decided to treat as close to the source as possible. The pain from Gout is caused by inflammation, which is a result of the immune system's reaction to the crystals formed by uric acid. I have been taking RM-10 for over a year now, and have not had a single Gout attack since I started using it. My personal theory is it helps balance the immune suppress system - or specifically suppress the "over-response" that causes the Gout attacks. I am not a doctor, nor even a medical expert, but I do live in this body full time =) and I hope my opinion might help someone else on their path towards their personal answers for immune system problems..
