Gout Blog News

The Gout Blog update is my mini-blog (kind of a journal) about Gout. It...

• lets you know whenever any new Web pages appear on GoutPal.com, telling you about a new remedy or diet tip
• keeps you up-to-date with other postings or news about gout (like the imminent Gout Friendly Recipes)
• points out some of my special research reports that you might otherwise miss
• lets you know when I send out the GoutCaster newsletter (in case you don't like to give your email address, or if your Email Service tends to over-filter causing you to miss an issue).

If you are not sure what RSS and blogging is all about, click on the "What's an RSS Feed?" link (also bottom left margin). Once you start, you will be amazed at what RSS can do.

If you prefer to see these notices by email, you can subscribe here. I use a very reliable company called FeedBlitz to provide this service. Like me, they will respect your privacy and not pass your email address on to anyone else.

Enjoy... subscribing will not affect your gout!

And don't be smug if you live outside the US. If they've got away with it in the Land Of The Free, then your country will be next.

We have to stop this now. Please support the campaign for generic colchicine.

Fend off Killer Colcrys before it is too late.
