Abnervana User ID: 1251290 United States 01/31/2011 09:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There are some great suggestions here on the page, and I hope my comments are read by the original poster. Please do a google search on "infrared" light and "health" and/or "healing". If I told you all the good its been observed proven to do, you likely would not believe me. Please do the research for yourself and see. Consider this: All the OTHER suggestions given here rely on the body sending a small amount of something (cherry juice, alkaline water, whatever) AFTER DIGESTION, to the affected part of the body via the bloodstream. That's great, but it's also quite an 'indirect' approach. For example: cherry juice, applied ON the affected limb does nothing, you have to drink it, you body digests it, and a small residue hopefully makes it through your bloodstream to the gout-affected area. I'm not knocking cherry juice or fresh cherries. Its one of the most potent and nutrient-rich things you can ingest. And some of the other suggestions here are great. By all means, try everything till something works. But concentrated infrared light, that's another story entirely. It's one of the only things an ordinary consumer can buy today that actually penetrates down into body tissues and limbs to do its healing work in real-time. The military is all over infrared for burn, wound, and broken bone healing - ever since the Iraq invasion. Western medicine is WAY behind on infrared generally. A handheld infrared unit on Amazon will cost you between $100 and $250. Best investment ever! Please, for your own health sake, do the research. Be well. |

I got a few people to take them and it helped them aswel they fixed me. You will need to change you life style also but the pain will give you motorvation you can live a healthy life if you want it. I completely healed my self because I didnt give up. people dont even know how Im so strong and never give up. You can beat gout. Gout is like having broken glass inside your body every time you move it rips your insides the pain is so bad even if you dont move its like someone is triggering every nerve with the worst pain you can imagine. Then it can get infected inside your bones like mine did then you will wish for death I wanted to cut my own leg off. But im glad I went through it im much stronger now and it changed my life in a good way. The drugs your doc will give you might have bad side effects when I asked my doc about them I decided to take the pain rather than take them Dont ever think you cant get better. I did and so can you . |

Vision Thing User ID: 1110850 United States 01/31/2011 09:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Didn't read the thread but I just saw this on the front page of Earth Clinic this morning [link to www.earthclinic.com] ALFALFA TABLETS FOR GOUT Ed from Irving Township, Minnesota writes: "I suffered with gout for 9 years. 12 years ago I began taking cranberry capsules. It helped, however, the gout would return, just not as often or severe. I researced more on the internet and learned that Alfalfa tablets cause the uric acid to be removed through the other end and I have not had a gout attack for 11 1/2 years. I drink, eat red meats, seafood, spinach, venison and other foods not recommended. I take cranberry, garlic, alfalfa, milk thistle a multivitamin once a day in the morning for maintenance. I have been able to resume use of my treadmill and I lost 50 lbs, and no more worries about walking, yard work or hunting. I have told many others about this system and every single person said it worked for them. Your doctor won't tell you, there is no profit in this for them. So much for the hippocratic oath." |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1223552Not at all matey, gout is a hereditary form of arthritis. And the most painful kind too! Bump to that. First time Isaw the doc about it, he told me the medics in the middle ages used to treat it by hitting the affected part with a bible. Must have been a lot of medics back then with broken jaws. Alkaline diet, lots of water and the good old cherry/cherry juice diet seem to work for me. Ouchouchouch. My sympathies OP and everyone else who apparently chose the wrong ancestors. |

I had a crohns flare around the same time my feet started hurting. I wonder if I have gout? I have been taking turmeric and soaking them in apple cider vinegar. That seems to help. I am not over weight and I exercise daily. The pain is worse at night. I lay in bed and my feet hurt so bad it's difficult to fall asleep. |

Your pain will be gone in two days. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1240925 Edgar Cayce recommended this for serveral illnesses. It is supposed to help more than gout by adjusting the PH in your body. You can get PH strips at the drug store to see what your acidic level is and continue checking to see if it goes down. I'm not a Dr. I just read alot.
