The Chemistry of Arthritis Carlos L Partidas

This book is dedicated to one of the oldest mummies in the Americas: the Peruvian Lord from Sipán. But perhaps it is not a coincidence; since, on the other side of the Earth in Egypt, the son of Akhenaten, the young Pharaoh Tutankhamen, died; and both left as evidence in their bones that they suffered from arthrosis. And perhaps this happened to them because they ate a lot of flesh; also, that both were kings; that is, they were not nomadic but sedentary. So, both accumulated with excess uric acid that damaged their bones, because uric acid should have been eliminated as sodium urate through sweat and urine.
