Gout is a condition that is caused from too much uric acid
in the blood, joints, kidneys and other parts of body tissue. When uric acids build-up, it forms crystals
and causes pain and swelling in the joints.
If uric acid crystallizes in the kidneys …stones are produced.
There are many causes of gout …including a long list of
metabolic disorders …cancer, psoriasis, anemia, enzyme defects and kidney
disease. Cytotoxic drugs, lead poisoning
and high fructose (sugar) consumption can also lead to gout.
Listen to the way Gout affects you so quickly!
Interestingly, the human body does not synthesize uric acid
…all uric acid in the body comes from the production and secretion by fungi.
All gout therapy must be aimed at lowering and reducing the fungal population
in the body.

In most cases …diet is very important in controlling,
prevention and treatment of gout …losing weight is also helpful in reducing
uric acid levels significantly …drinking plenty of filtered water (at least
eight glasses) daily also helps …certain vegetables …celery, carrot, spinach,
liquid chlorophyll and parsley in large amounts are recommended.
Try to avoid fruits and fruit juices as they are too high in
sugar.
Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries and
hawthorn berries are high in bioflavonoids and have the ability to neutralize
uric acid.
Rich foods, coffee, sugar, white flour products, purine-rich
foods, alcohol, red meat, sweetbread, shellfish, anchovies, herring, sardine,
meat gravies, mussels, asparagus, fish, poultry, dried beans, lentils, peas,
cauliflower, oatmeal and mushrooms are foods that aggravate gout.
We recommend supplements …vitamin-B complex, Vita-X-treme
and of course properly stabilized organic Aloe Vera …a high end probiotic (ProEnzyme),
and the super anti-oxidant ( Complex- 50 plus)
.
These supplements traditionally reduce and relieve gout joint
pain with the added benefits of reducing both serum cholesterol along with uric
acid levels.
