Gout sufferers need to get rid of high uric acid in the body. You
can use drugs or natural remedies. Here are 3 natural ways to get rid
of uric acid without the side effects and cost of drugs.
High uric
acid in the body over time can produce crystals in your joints, which
then cause the horribly painful symptoms of gout.
Uric acid is
produced by purines in the body and in foods. Purines help to produce
our protein and energy needs, but in that process they breakdown and
uric acid is formed as a byproduct.
The acid is processed by your
kidneys and most of it is excreted through urine. Relatively low levels
are then retained in your blood as an antioxidant, doing things like
looking after your blood vessel linings for example.
High uric
acid in the body can occur if your kidneys aren't working efficiently,
or, if your body is producing too much acid so that your kidneys just
can't cope.
Gout sufferers need to get rid of those high levels,
to help get gout relief, and, to prevent further gout attacks. And as a
gout sufferer, you are highly likely to have recurring gout episodes.
Modern
medicine can do both through drugs that can be very effective. Things
like NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatories), colchicines and
corticosteroids for relieving gout symptoms and pain, and, drugs like
allopurinol and probenecid for reducing high acid levels.
But they
can have very bad side effects such as vomiting, diarrhea, nausea,
stomach pain, ulcers, bleeding, skin allergies, etc. And the drugs for
reducing the acid need to be taken over the longer term because they
only work while you take them. Stop, and there isn't anything to prevent
your levels rising again.
So many people are using natural gout
remedies. These can act in the same way as drugs, i.e. reducing
inflammation, relieving pain, and, lowering uric acid.
There are
many natural ways to get rid of uric acid in the body by using specific
herbs, fruits, vegetables, supplements, and so on. Some seem to work
better for some people than others, so you have to discover the ones
that work best in your particular case.
Here are three that people have found to be effective in getting rid of uric acid from the body...
CHERRIES
Dr.
Ludwig Blau is said to have cured his own gout in 1950 by eating
between 6 and 8 cherries every day. But more recent studies suggest
anything up to 40 can be effective. Between 30 and 40 is probably
nearest the mark.
Cherries contain anthocyanins which act like
NSAIDs and studies have also shown that they can actually lower uric
acid in the body.
BLUEBERRIES
These also have anthocyanins
allowing them to act as natural NSAIDs and help reduce inflammation and
pain. Probably 1 cup of blueberries every day should be enough, but you
need to find out what level is best for you.
WATER
This is
perhaps very overlooked by gout sufferers. A dehydrated body finds it
more difficult to get rid of uric acid, and it is easier for uric acid
crystals to form. Plenty of water helps to prevent crystals forming,
and, helps your kidneys to get rid of uric acid more effectively. Drink
at least 12 x 8oz glasses every day.
These three can work quite
well to get rid of uric acid in the body, but there are many more issues
to consider for staying free of more gout attacks. And, remember, if
you have suffered even one gout attack, you're very likely to have more.
You should avoid this as recurring gout can lead to permanent joint damage and kidney problems over time.
You're in luck though. There's a special gout report available
online that has all the information you need in one place. It is what
thousands of ex-gout victims worldwide have successfully used to prevent
their gout returning. It also contains a special 2 hour gout pain
relief program.
And it uses fully-researched, totally natural methods. So that you benefit two ways: (1) you get rid of your excruciating pain very fast, and, (2) you prevent your gout returning, so that you reduce the risk of permanent damage.
