 Topic: Allopurinol prevents obesity and lowers c
Posted: 18 February 2007 at 3:30pm |
Allopurinol prevents obesity and lowers cholesterols.
Allopurinol (also called Zyloprim, Zyloric, Progout,...) is a xanthine oxidoreductase
inhibitor (XORI) that has been used to reduce the production of uric
acid and to prevent gout attacks.
Now, a report in 2/7/2007 issue of Cell Metabolism shows that XORI such
as Allopurinol can block the fat formation and may reduce the levels of
lipids (cholesterol, etc.) and oxidative stress in obese individuals.
Any insight from Allopurinol users? Thanks.

I read a post that Allopurinol affects potency, is it true?
Alternate to Allopurinol and other painkillers, I have taken wild lingzhi for 2 decades. Besides herbs, selective natural foods as daily diet and ensure daily toilet habit. No drug, no flare (not remission but total reversal from the disease), that is back to normal healthy body and enjoy quality of life  . No fear, no threat and am a "master" to the disease as it just unable to cause any pain and harm.

I read that rheumatologists desensitize allopurinol's allergic reaction by
1) Start allopurinol at a low dosage (50~100 mg/day?).
2) After a few months, if there is no allergic reaction, increase the dosage by 50~100 mg/day (?).
3) Repeat step 2 until allergic reaction shows
up, or the serum uric acid level is lower to 5.0~5.5 mg/dl.
The method doesn't seem to work for everyone. (Sorry can't find the references off hand.)
Also read that allopurinol may be contraindicated by chf [and chd?].
In the dedicated situation like yours, I would ask my rheumatologist to
work with my cardiologist to come up with a good treatment plan. Good
luck and take care.

I do know many are 3 in 1 problems like gout, heart(high cholesterols) and diabetes. These people take allopurinol every day besides other meds for heart and diabetes. If allopurinol lowers cholesterols, these people do not have heart problem!

The challenge is not meds but the patient's belief, determination to explore, find and use appropriate herbs and natural foods that can slowly nurture and rejuvenate the body into healthy level.
Once the metabolic inbalances are adjusted and the body in healthy stage, diseases just dwindle to no threat. Start to live healthily with natural foods today . No meds still can do. Be a "master" not "prisoner" to the disease and meds and stay FREE and INDEPENDANT.
