CHAT Colchicine, are there any protocols using it?

[Profit of Doom]

Just watched Dr. McCullough video, he spoke highly of it, and ADC has it.
Don’t find much on its use.

That’s medication for gout, what was he talking about using it for?

It can also cause damage to DNA, so be careful if you use it.

Colchicine is not something to play around with. I don't know what this Dr. McCullough has said about this drug but be VERY VERY VERY CAREFUL with using it. Be absolutely sure you know what, why and how you're taking it.

FLCCC has it listed as an alternative anti inflammatory. I’ve used it for gout (got from ADC) and it worked great. I never had an issue with it and keep some on hand. I don’t know why ShadowMan is so cautious? How about providing some reasoning?

 

[flame]

My daughter is using this, it's not really something you use just willy-nilly..

 

[Profit of Doom]

Wasn’t going to use it on my willy.

Any use outside the normal indications and prescription, needs to be done very cautiously.

Colchicine
Last Updated: December 16, 2021

Colchicine is an anti-inflammatory drug that is used to treat a variety of conditions, including gout, recurrent pericarditis, and familial Mediterranean fever.1 Recently, the drug has been shown to potentially reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in those with coronary artery disease.2 Colchicine has several potential mechanisms of action, including reducing the chemotaxis of neutrophils, inhibiting inflammasome signaling, and decreasing the production of cytokines, such as interleukin-1 beta.3 When colchicine is administered early in the course of COVID-19, these mechanisms could potentially mitigate or prevent inflammation-associated manifestations of the disease. These anti-inflammatory properties coupled with the drug’s limited immunosuppressive potential, favorable safety profile, and widespread availability have prompted investigation of colchicine for the treatment of COVID-19.
