Humorous fungii
I know you have all said such things as trite, absurd,jackass and other such examples of civil discourse.
I have suggested a variety of fundamental causativeand contributing factors.
Each is supported by a considerable amount ofscientific evidence and is biologically plausible.None of this is equivalent to UFOs or Pyramids.
I’m not saying that any of it is proven conclusively,nor have I ever maintained that. I have exploredlogically relevant matters of causation andexacerbation.
Throughout history, prior to our knowledge ofmicrobiology, there were beliefs in an infectiousagent playing a role in gout.
I will admit that Pasturella Multocida and alsomycological influences are rarely identified in gout.Ofcourse, they are also rarely looked for in goutpatients too. Although rarely identified, it is notunknown and it is not in any way absurd. Fungaletiology has been addressed by a number ofresearchers, it has been published in medical journalsand presented at international conferences. If you donot want to believe in it, that is fine. I’ve postedabout these various additional factors to stimulatediscussion of the issues, but so far it seems to havemet only with ridicule despite the biologicalplausibility. I do not dispute your assertion that’mycological rhymes with illogical’. I do, however,dispute that the rhyming dictates the functionalrelationship.

I actually grant your mycological causative theory asbeing plausible. I’m not sure that I give it very muchprobability of bearing out as true, but far be it fromme to call you Gallileo and ridicule your theorem.
On the contrary, rather than maintaining that assertion,you simply provide dissertations on your theories,without providing any background that would help toqualify it as plausible. Your posts read as someoneexpounding the facts of gout to the rest of the list.You don’t qualify your ideas in any way. This is theonly problem I have with your posts. I will continueto ask for sources and justifications whenever youpost a new fact-like dissertation.
And people believed that masterbation was caused bydemon infestation ; that the earth was the center ofthe universe; and that the US space program fakedlanding on the moon. Some still do.

Dr. Constantino and also those researchers who have actually foundhyphae in synovial fluid will be so disappointed.Have you been able to find any treatmentthat is effective against gout and whichis not also an anti-fungal treatment?
I would hope that you would first be promptedto do some research and then present anycountervailing views that you have. The postswere intended to be springboards for discussion.
you seem to have failed to provide a sourcefor your fact-like dissertation, however, Iwill refrain from asking you to provide one.

Nope. They don’t sound like springboards for discussion. When I readsomething that arrives from a questionable source - like a discussionforum - that doesn’t provide any reasoning or background (or links toeither - heaven forbid you’d make sources easy to locate), but simplyattempts to assert statements as factual, the first thing I am promptedto do is to hit delete. This is what I do with spam.
It really is your choice whether you want your posts to be viewed asspam or as constructive participation in this list. I’ve tried severaltimes to get this point across to you. I actually would like to hearmore - if it doesn’t smell like spam.
Perhaps you aren’t trying to understand what I am telling you? Or doyou have a manhood lengthening theorem too? If you do, please make thesubject line clear, so I don’t bother to read it.

I would like to see the source that recomends allopurinol as a fungaltreatment.
The point is that whether you know the cause of gout or not, there isa treatment and it works. It is 100% effective if your system cantolerate it and I’m not sure why your wasting your and our timetrying to chat about microba obscura. Do they or don’t they, onlyyour local fungus among us knows, or for that matter cares.
What we, the common gout sufferers want to know and talk about, iswhat we can do on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis toeliminate the immediate pain of gout and then once that immediatepain is gone, what we can do to keep it from coming back.
There is a treatment, it’s called allopurinol, it works, it is not anantifungal agent and I’m not sure why it’s worth talking about thefundamental cause. Althought it would be interesting to know why wegot it, the fact is and will remain that we do have it and it is notgoing to go away if we continue our lives as we have. Something mustchange or we will suffer repeated and more frequent attacks thatincreasse in intensity.
If you are a reasearcher in the area of gout, then great, I am gladthere are some of those in the world, however a forum where researchscientists gang together to talk theories is where your statementsbelong. Either there ot left kept to yourself.
