    I don't know about gout, but I just printed this on another thread on this site:

    NOBODY WITH NORMAL CHOLESTEROL SHOULD BE PUT ON STATINS.  

    To do so is taking risks on something you're acclimating you body to, 24/7, that could be poison to that particular body.

    I was on them same way, "just in case".  I can't believe doctors would encourage such behavior in each other.  I had to hear about it thru my chiropractor.  My cadiologist not once talked with me about side effects even when I dropped off copious literature from this site, the FDA site, and other sources reporting how horrendous and permanent some of those side effects are.

    Please stop taking them if your cholesterol is normal.  That would be like taking chemotherapy when it is not needed.  It's poison, and we just hope it kills the disease before it kills the patient.  Nobody ever takes chemotherapy for the rest of their life.  That do what they need to do and then leave it behind.

    In this case if your cholesterol is normal, there's no reason to be taking them at all, and every reason not to.  Keep surfing this site for more and more evidence.  The reports here of the dangers to one's health from statins seem to be endless.

    I reported over a year ago my husband's experience with statins.  When he developed gout - in addition to muscle weakness and peripheral neuropathy - I researched the literautre and found many cases of gout reported.  He came off statins and the gout cleared almost immediately.  He has been off for about 2 years now and  there has not been any recurrence.
