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 obese.

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 exercises, 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."

.

Everyone listened and subconsciously thought of Andrew's figure.

Indeed.

He was also the biggest man they had ever seen.

It was rare in these times that someone would look like that.

No wonder the trend thing he was talking about picked its victims.

They were all probably his size too.

From what Andrew said, even the Monarchs couldn't get the 'Trend' meaning that they were at least fit or something.

Well, they probably trained and walked around busily ruling their empires.

So they couldn't imagine a monarch who was this big.

If that happens, assassins wouldn't even need to fear that their targets would run away.

Just thinking of how Andrew panted heavily when they first saw him, they instantly knew that this man was living an unhealthy life.

His wives said that he was carried around most of the time back in Arcadina.

And, the cause of his current predicament might be his family.

Even though his father had 4 wives, he was the only boy born to his father.

To make matters even more jarring, even his uncles and aunts gave birth to girls.

So he was the only grandson to his grandparents.

Eventually, everyone listened to his opinions.

When he said he didn't want to practice anymore, he found no problem with it.

After all, as nobles, they had money, and he would eventually inherit everything.

So he could just get loyal bodyguards by his side... which technically was true.

And that's exactly what he did.

From his youth till now, he had been living the lazy life of just stuffing his face.

.

"In addition to abdominal obesity, from his test results, he also has Hypertension or high blood pressure, which is a major risk for stroke, heart failure, vision loss, chronic kidney disease and so on.

Also, he has Dyslipidemia, the accumulation of abnormal amounts of fluids is in his blood.

Last but not least, he's also suffering from Insulin Resistance.

Insulin is typically released to respond to carbohydrates consumed in diet.

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 accumulating 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.
