Question by angiela: what are the helpful medications including medicines to take for an acute gout?

Best answer:

Answer by pelican
Dietary changes can help reduce uric acid levels in the blood. Since purine chemicals are converted by the body into uric acid, purine-rich foods are avoided. Examples of foods rich in purines include shellfish and organ meats such as liver, brains, kidneys, and sweetbreads. Researchers have reported, in general, that meat or seafood consumption increases the risk of gout attacks, while dairy food consumption seemed to reduce the risk. Protein intake or purine-rich vegetable consumption was not associated with an increased risk of gout. Total alcohol intake was strongly associated with an increased risk of gout (beer and liquor were particularly strong factors). Fructose from the corn syrup in soft drinks also increases the risk of gout.

Weight reduction can be helpful in lowering the risk of recurrent attacks of gout. This is best accomplished by reducing dietary fat and calorie intake, combined with a regular aerobic exercise program.

There are three aspects to the treatment of gout with medications. First, pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or other more potent analgesics are used to manage pain. Secondly, anti-inflammatory agents such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), colchicine, and corticosteroids are used to decrease joint inflammation. Finally, medications are considered for managing the chronic underlying metabolic derangement that causes hyperuricemia and gout. This means treating the elevated levels of uric acid in the blood with medications that reduce these levels.

There are two objectives when treating an acute gout attack; first get rid of the agonizing pain and symptoms, then, treat to prevent another acute gout attack in the future. Prevention is always better than cure.

Mainstream treatment usually consists of drug-based medication, many of which have unfortunate side effects, which is why many gout victims around the world are seeking to cure their acute gout naturally.

The following are just some of many natural remedies that acute gout sufferers are using and finding to be effective, either together or individually…

Avoid foods such as, red meat, game, offal, shellfish, poultry, broth, sardines, mackerel, roe, legumes, yeast, etc. And avoid alcohol
Drink at least 12 eight-ounce glasses of water each day to wash excess uric acid out of your system.
Eat a lot of fresh vegetables & fruit. Five portions a day. BUT avoid cauliflower, asparagus and mushrooms.
Eat lots of fresh cherries and / or strawberries everyday to help with pain relief and to neutralize uric acid.
Eat high-fiber foods to help flush out your body.
Drink apple cider vinegar, or, apply it topically. It lowers uric acid levels and helps to relieve pain.
Make up a poultice of charcoal using 1/2 cup of activated charcoal, 3 tablespoons of ground flaxseed and warm water.
Take alfalfa to help reduce uric acid and it acts as an anti-inflammatory agent.

These natural remedies are a great start in your search for natural gout cures. But they can only ever be a ‘start’. These will relieve the acute gout symptoms you may be suffering right now, but, on their own they can’t prevent your gout returning.

You do need to investigate a whole bunch of other issues that help determine a permanent gout remedy that suits your individual circumstances, e.g. weight, medical conditions, diet, body pH, family history and much more. If left untreated, recurring gout can lead to severely damaged joints and kidney problems in the future.

Luckily, there is a fully-researched and proven gout report that you can download right now that lays all this out for you so you don’t have to do any of the work. And it’s based totally on gout natural remedies, no drugs with nasty side-effects.

It has a simple step-by-step approach to a totally natural, guaranteed cure that thousands of ex-gout victims around the world have had the benefit of.

And crucially, if you’re suffering agonizing acute gout pain right now, it has a special 2 hour gout relief program that has worked wonders for gout sufferers like you.

If you want to get gout pain relief in 2 hours, plus, prevent your gout returning in the future, then go to http://gout-relief-today.blogspot.com and discover how you can quickly do both using completely natural means.
