Solutions for gout


(NaturalNews) Gout is a very painful form of arthritis that usually
attacks the big toe and can spread to the insteps, ankles, heels, knees,
wrists, fingers or elbows. Gout occurs when an excessive buildup of
uric acid in the body forms painful crystals in the joints. These uric
acid crystals deposit in the articular cartilage of joints, tendons and
surrounding tissues causing inflammation. Uric acid deposits can form
under the skin (called tophi) and even some kidney stones are formed
from uric acid crystals.

Joint pain, gout and arthritis are rare
in countries where small amounts of meat is eaten such as New Zealand,
China, Japan and Africa. When people from these cultures eat a
western diet of too much protein, the rates of joint pain increase
dramatically to match levels typical in Americans.

Uric acid
comes from the breakdown of substances in the body called purines.
Normally, uric acid dissipates in the blood and passes through the
kidneys and out through the urine. Purines increase uric acid levels in
the blood and consequently increase uric acid deposits in the joints
leading to gout. Animal proteins found in poultry, seafood, eggs and red
meat contain more purines than vegetable proteins.

The trouble
with gout is that there is years of uric acid accumulation in the blood
without any warning or symptoms until an attack is triggered by some
precipitating factor like liver congestion, kidney compromise,
alcoholism or protein metabolization problems.

When your liver
becomes inflamed or is stressed, uric acid production can increase to
very high levels, setting the stage for the development of gout. Gluten from wheat, barley and rye grains are complex proteins that compromise the gut and ultimately inflame the liver.
High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is metabolized almost exclusively in
the liver and causes liver congestion, fatty liver and liver
inflammation; all precursors to gout.

Take this for gout and make your gout worse?

The
gout medication Rilonacept is an immune system suppressor that not only
puts you at risk for infection and disease but can actually make gout
worse as a "side effect." Now, the new medical "cure" for one bad drug
is to combine it with another bad drug to treat the side effects of the
first drug. Gout is NOT caused by a lack of Rilonacept or Allopurinol,
so don't even go there.

Solutions for gout

Long-term
prevention of gout in the first place should be the main goal. Aside
from the obvious diet and lifestyle changes of avoiding gluten, HFCS,
and purine-rich foods, there are many natural adjuncts that bring relief
to symptoms of gout.

• Take three tablespoons of apple cider
vinegar with mother (white spiderweb like floaties) mixed with one
teaspoon of aluminum-free baking soda together with two ounces of water
and one teaspoon of raw honey. Drink this three times a day until
complete relief is achieved and then once a week for maintenance.

•
Bromelane, found in pineapple, is the supplement of choice from the
local vitamin shoppe or juice a whole pineapple, core and all and drink
to deliver a large dose of bromelane along with other beneficial
micronutrients and enzymes

• Cherry extract, nettle and 4,000-6,000 mg of vitamin C daily

•
Beet juice helps stave off acidosis while stimulating liver cells to
cleanse and protect bile ducts. Whole beets help the kidneys and relieve
constipation.

• Strawberries can increase the flow of blood & oxygen to the muscles and other tissues by seven percent, preventing gout.

•
Himalayan salt or Celtic Sea Salt carry just under 100 microminerals,
which help the body curb gout and fight crystalline buildup of
gallstones, liver, kidney and bladder stones

Bottom line, don't
roll over and play the patsy to Big Pharma. Gout and other diseases have
causes that can be found and treated naturally.
