Remedies for Gout

[bigdave123]

Hi All.

Does anybody out there have any remedies for Gout?

I have been suffering painful ankle and now a knee for nearly two years now, my Doctor keeps giving me anti-inflamerteries.

I don't like the idea of being on prescribed drugs for months or years on end.

Anybody got any ideas?

Many Thanks.

As you are probably aware gout is caused by a build up of Uric Acid in the blood. This leads to the formation of needle-like crystals and often lumps of uric acid. We sometimes come a different route and use Digestive Enzymes and Bromelaine (pineapple extract). For some people and for some reason this can be affective. You have an understandable reluctance to use drugs, so you might consider giving it a go. Always check out interactions with any medications you may be taking. naturopharma.com has some good quality products.

I've heard that cherries are good for gout, just eating a handful a day can help - even tinned ones

Wow, i had gout a while back. Most painful thing i could imagine.

I found codeine was the only thing that stopped the pain. Went away on its own in the end.

When the levels of urate elevate (uric), molecules known as purines develop and the body forms needle like crystals in the joint. One of our points of view is that the body then releases the defence hormones Histamine and Prostaglandin to inflame the tissue into which the crystals caused by Uric Acid are being stored in a bid to remove these crystals. Be aware of Kidney function because all this stuff gets through the kidneys. You are more likely to have Gout if:
You eat Red Meat or Seafood - Drink too much Alcohol - Have Kidney Disease - Have a condition such as Psoriasis, which can cause the body to produce too much Urate - Take Diuretics - Are taking certain Cancer Drugs - You are Overweight. We always Bio-Screen screen patients with gout.

You will get huge relief from Gout by CHANGING your diet. You are probably eating things that are contributing to the swelling of the joints.
Try the elimination diet.
Meds are masking this problem only not healing you.

My friend got Gout and his girlfriend cut out all dairy, mammal meats,
fats, and JUNK FOODS. He got better within a week and recovered in 30 days completely.

Eat more fruits, veggies. Perhaps go on a Japanese food diet. They are not known to get gout.
Good Luck to you, at least you are trying to find answers to help you cure this painful problem.

Celery seeds!!

SWIM was told by a very well informed hamster that a homemade celery seed tincture is THE way to go. SWIM used 100% Organic Celery Seeds. At a 1:4 ratio, one part celery seeds to 4 parts high grade vodka (at least 40% ABV). That's 1 ounce of celery seeds to 4 ounces of vodka. SWIM took 3 ounces of celery seeds and poured them into a mason (canning) jar then covered them with 12 ounces of vodka. Then screwed the lid on tight and shook it up real good for about 30 seconds. Store in a cool, dark place for anywhere from 2 to 6 months, shaking vigorously twice a day. SWIM did this for 6 months. Came out AWESOME!!! Works far better than pharms and with NO side effects!!!!! Your results will vary....

******DISCLAIMER******

Neither SWIM nor the very well informed hamster are medical professionals and this advice should only be taken as a possible suggestion towards the OP's query and only acted upon AFTER adequate research has been conducted!! ALWAYS KNOW what you are putting into your body so that you may avoid life-threatening situations. As the old saying goes "Measure twice, cut once!!" :D

I would go for Methyl Salfonyl Methane [MSM]. It works fast, within 72 hours pain nearly gone, completely gone in one week. It is organic sulphar, and tastes bitter imo. The one I used was made from Canadian pine trees.
