Chapter 948 - Andrews Condition

Chapter 948 - Andrew's Condition

Everyone thought deeply but still felt perplexed.

What exactly was plaguing this Man?

Looking at Landon’s mysterious smile, they knew that he must’ve already figured it out.

And they were right.

All the signs and symptoms described and seen were precisely the same as those he personally witnessed back on earth.

Of course, to be absolutely sure, he still had to buy off information and treatment procedures from the system.

"Everyone, what Mr. Andrew is facing, is something called Gout... Or as some would call it, Gout Arthritis.

So earlier on, your guests weren’t far from the truth.

It is indeed a certain type of inflammatory arthritis.

It’s all new to you all because you’ve never seen or heard of anything like this.

And that could also be credited to the lifestyle of those here."

Hm?

The doctors all looked at Landon in confusion.

"So the disease chose its victims based on their lifestyles?"

Landon nodded while taking out his pen and drawing everyone to gather around him.

"Lifestyle is just one of the reasons.

In short, Gout is caused by the continuous elevated levels of Uric Acid in the blood.

All of you are familiar with Uric Acid and its dangers.

To start, lifestyle accounted for 12% of gout, Medical conditions contributed to 70%, and genetics contributed to the rest.

When looking at Medical conditions, right off the bat, from the test results and body mass index, Mr. Andrew is very much obsessed.

He particularly has abdominal obesity, which is when excessive abdominal fat around the stomach and abdomen gets built up to the point where it can brutally affect his life.

He currently had trouble walking, running and doing other things.

From his report, he never excesses, hasn’t held a sword since he was 13, lives an extraordinary life of only eating.

Which is rare because even the wealthiest of nobles still train and fight every day to maintain power.

So in a way, exercising and getting rid of excessive fat."

But now, the same amount of insulin doesn’t have the same effect on glucose transport and blood sugar levels.

All this triggered by his lifestyle and eating habits, leading to his obesity."

Doctor Milla flicked her forehead as if getting enlightenment: "It all makes sense now! The patient’s diet typically consisted of Alcohol, meat, seafood and a few others, which all have high levels of Uric acid in them. So without getting rid of some by fitness or healthy weight loss, his body kept acc.u.mulating it."

"Let’s not also forget that since Gout mostly affects men, he was already on the losing end of the stick."

In short, the crystallization of Uric acid is all related to the high levels in the blood.

And all this also gave birth to Tophi, which are the painful swells that the patient now has."

Everyone shuddered a bit when they pictured how swollen Andrew’s swells were.

No! It was terrible.

It was like imagining toy balls that had been painted to look like skin, placed and attacked above the various body parts.

The swells were too protruding, with tiny white dots all around them.

It looked like those body parts were disfigured.

And the pain looked agonizing.

But amidst all this, the guy still wanted to keep it because of some trend.

Unbelievable.

.

Doctor Gerson looked at Landon deep in thought: "Doctor Landon. So is it true? Could gout make a man stronger down there?"

Landon was dumbfounded.

The way Gerson looked was as if he was really reconsidering it.

Landon didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Ehhh... Andrew couldn’t even walk properly or do anything else.

So even if it did, was it necessary?

Sure! It could raise one’s status quo and even get them into high-end associations in Morgany.

But all in all, it wasn’t worth it.

The most ridiculous thing was thinking that it could cause some a man’s private to become some permanent aphrodisiac for women.

Just the white purse oozing out of the swells would let any proper person rethink things through.

He said PROPER because some might take it as a fetish thing or do it for the experience, money or something else.

The people of this era were truly crazed.
