I was diagnosed with Gout April 5th, 1990 by a reputable doctor who understood every aspect of the dreadful disease. Even though I  quickly learned my diet would be forever altered from that point on, Gout has no mercy. Without proper medication, home remedies take a back seat when it pertains to prevention, or better yet, painful attacks.

Understanding the history of Gout dates back to some 4000 years ago. It was first discovered in humans who were thought to possess great wealth and power. Documents were published with hierarchical statements telling about Kings and great leaders with the inability to excrete rich food and drink in which they thoroughly enjoyed. But, that was not the case. Writings later revealed of constipation, even within the Egyptian culture.

Although, earlier records tried to prove Gout as a punishment of Indulgence in sensual pleasures, King Louis XIV and various members of his family also experienced an imbalance in production of uric acid. Louis’s reign, accompanied with a break-down product of protein digestion eventually paved the way to his own misfortune.

Gout attacks can occur in many parts of the body where ligaments and joints are located. From my own experience, pain first advanced in my big toe and quickly moved around; attacking knees, ankles, elbows, and shoulders. Whereas testing the blood, my doctor instantly recommended a new diet to live by. I had no problem with that. However, as I aged, my diet quickly advanced in the number of food and drink I should not consume.

Gout Attack Engine

All humans are created differently, therefore, body chemistry and food intake matters mostly with daily consumption of certain proteins. These proteins build up in joints which crystallizes into sharp knife-like objects, so intense, it simply can NOT be properly described. The skin’s  pressure and tightening balloons the infected joint into deformity and disfigurement. Simply put, you suddenly appear like a wild caged animal with rage of a different color. Even though one part of your body aches like hell, other parts work overtime to pickup the slack. In fact, one attack doubled, tripled,
quadrupled, and quintupled that I found myself crawling on my belly towards my truck so I could drive myself to the doctor for a cortisone shot!

Gout originates when the uric acid level builds up in the blood. Not unsurprisingly, foods that contain higher proteins cause attacks at extraordinary levels. In my case, Alcohol is the number one cause. This gives me immediate appreciation to stay sober! Other priceless sessions of bad food consumption include: Shellfish, Liver, Hot Dogs, Hamburger, Bacon, Sausage, Pork, Pizza, Orange Juice, Pinto Beans, Peanut Butter, and Mushrooms.

Exploratory Treatment

Medical breakthroughs for Gout medication challenges your every belief. The non-theoretical excursions for home remedies become unfamiliar territory at first. This quickly demonstrates how easily to stimulate the mind into believing simple home remedies can prevent Gout from being such a pain. My prescribed medication,  Indomethacin, is a life saver. Of all the complexities involved with studies and medicine, Gout treatments become an unprecedented challenge for doctors who think engineering a new dimension is so sophisticated.

Men and women who suffer from Gout should avoid any experimental versions of home remedies. There are various food groups which prevent attacks from occurring more frequently. My favorites are cranberry juice, cherries, and Advil when I run out of Indomethacin. Fortunately, I’ve discovered the most collaborative and ingenious method to continuously innovate my diet. My own diagnosis to remain less constipated saves me embarrassment and keeps me enthusiastic in all activities I’m now concentrating on. If you or someone you know has Gout, take a hard look at the stipulations and make a contingency plan for the body to become healthier.
