The Main Cause Of GoutAnd safe, drug-free remedies for treating it.
Understanding the main cause of gout and addressing it is very important. The reason is because if gout is not treated quickly it can cause permanent damage to your joints. And if you're someone who has gout, you know firsthand how painful it can be. Gout is a very painful form of arthritis that mainly affects men but it actually affects women in the exact same way as men. The people most susceptible to gout are overweight men over 35. Because men tend to have higher levels of uric acid in their bodies to begin with, gout affects more men than women. However, after menopause, a woman’s uric acid level actually rises to be comparable to a man’s level. So if a woman gets gout, it's usually not until they are 50 years or older. So, higher levels of uric acid due to menopause is another cause of gout. Children can also suffer from gout. It can affect anyone at any age. It usually attacks the big toes of its victims but it can also spread to other joints around the body such as the elbow, the knees, the wrists, the ankles and the fingers just to name a few. There are a number of different causes of gout but the main one would have to be a poor diet that is packed full of high purine foods.
Foods such as red meat and seafood are considered the main cause of gout. In olden days gout was considered the disease of kings as only the very rich would have a diet that would be so rich in these rare and expensive foods. In this article we are going to document 4 different natural remedies that you can use to help get rid of gout and maybe even keep it away for good. A List Of Foods To Avoid If You Have GoutThe very first thing you need to do to avoid gout is to look seriously at your diet. The actual main cause of gout is eating High Purine Foods. Below is a list of foods you must avoid if you want to stay clear of gout:- Red meat - Seafood - Gravy - Kidneys - Mushrooms - Alcohol What about Conventional Treatments For Gout?NSAIDS (non-steroidial anti-inflammatory)For gout attacks many doctors will recommend oral doses of anti-inflammatory drugs. But these medications have adverse side effects that include but are not limited to stomach pain, bleeding and ulcers. NSAIDS ( Pronounced en-saids) are the most prescribed medications for treating conditions like arthritis. The problem is that these medications can only manage a very limited amount of the pain and taking larger doses simply DO NOT give more relief. And worse of all, NSAIDS DO NOT lower uric acid levels in your body! In other words, anti-inflammatory drugs do not get to the root cause of gout. It's a band-aid approach with very limited positive results.ColchicinesThis is a popular drug of many doctors. Although it’s good at preventing recurrences of gout, it has serious side effects that do occur such as abdominal cramps; diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.CorticosteroidsTaken by injection into the affected area or taken orally these drugs are in the anti- inflammatory group. They too may cause many untoward side effects. Corticosteroids decrease the body’s ability to fight infections and can delay wound healing.
Corticosteroids can also lead to having brittle bones. And because of this very reason, many physicians do not like to continue injected corticosteroids as an ongoing pain management method for gout patients. And again, this treatment does not address the root cause of gout!
Natural Ways To Ease Gout PainAlong with the necessary diet changes we just discussed, here are 3 more simple ways that you can address the cause of gout and help reduce the pain associated with the disease. And these natural remedies have no adverse side-effects.Vitamin C for GoutIn a 2009 study carried out in the University of California it was discovered that taking in excess of 1,500mg of vitamin C daily actually lowered the risk of getting gout by up to 40%. They then came to the conclusion that such high doses of vitamin C actually reduced the levels of uric acid in the body and therefore helped to prevent and cure gout.
Black Cherry JuiceBlack cherry juice is now considered to be in the top 5 of the healthiest drinks available anywhere in the world due to its unique antioxidant content. The high level of antioxidants in the black cherry juice have been proven to reduce uric acid levels in the body even further. Drinking 1 single glass of black cherry juice daily can lower your uric acid levels a lot.The Baking Soda Remedy for goutHalf a teaspoon of baking soda powder in a glass of water before going to sleep and first thing when you get up in the morning. Then 1 more time during the day an hour either side of lunch and then again at night. Maximum is 3 teaspoons a day. This is one of the main remedies for gout and can be effective after only 1-2 hours of firstly taking the baking soda.CAUTION: Taking baking soda to reduce gout pain and gout symptoms is generally safe. But, be aware that eating poorly and thinking you can just keep taking baking soda everyday for the rest of your life is not a good idea. It is not a cure all. In the short run, it's fine, but over a long period of time it is too alkalizing for your stomach and digestive system. I really do not recommend doing it for more than a couple of days. I know someone personally who thought they could just keep doing that and continue eating anything they wanted to. Well, they eventually ended up in the hospital with severe stomach pains. Again, the root cause of gout is poor eating habits. You really need to learn and adopt better eating habits and educate yourself on how to properly alkalize your body with alkalizing foods and supplements. Gout, like any other disease is a sign that you are not healthy. Generally it means your body is too acidic. Being too acidic is not only the root cause of gout, it is the root cause of almost all diseases.
