on November 12, 2015 a woman limped into Dr. Bertrandās office. Her big toe was red and so swollen it was shiny. She was suffering from the awful pain of gout. All the medications she had tried either had not worked or had side effects.Ā When Dr. Bertrand offered to put some QR cream on her toe, she recoiled and exclaimed: ādonāt touch it!ā: even the lightest touch was excruciatingly painful. Dr. Bertrand put a gob of QR cream on her finger and, without touching the toe, applied the cream lightly to it.Ā Within one minute, she could rub in the cream andĀ fiveĀ minutes later, the pain had disappeared. She was able to walk out of the office normally.Ā Ā She applied QR Cream to her big toe every six hours for the next two days. On the third day, she had a normal-looking foot and no pain.
