Question by : Is there any kind of alcohol that’s ok to drink in moderation if you have gout?
I was thinking wine or anything else besides beer, whiskey, or gin

Answer by Sped
So long as you keep your uric acid level below 6 mg/dL you can drink anything you want. If you’re serious about beating gout you will test your uric acid level often and do what is needed to keep it in check.
As for alcohol.. beer is probably the worst. Gin or wine in moderation probably don’t hurt much. Dehydration, though, from excessive alcohol consumption can really trigger gout. So if you drink alcohol, be sure to drink lots of plain old water along with it.
I have gout, enjoy my beer, and test my uric acid level often.

Hi BunjiBear
Here is how to heal the issue with your friend.
Causes of Gout
Gout is caused by excessive accumulation of uric acid in the tissues. The underlying cause of uric acid accumulation is unknown, yet research has found that it can basically be attributed to metabolic or kidney problems. Increased production of uric acid may be the result of metabolic enzyme defects, certain types of chronic anemia, or other complex conditions. Dehydration and kidney disease can cause poor clearance of uric acid from the body.
Proper diet, nutrition, and metabolic balance all play crucial roles in the prevention and treatment of this disease. The conception of gout as a condition of affluence is tenuous, but a heavy diet, particularly organ meats that increase amount of uric acid, and alcohol consumption, can hinder the removal of uric acid by the kidneys.
Although most people initiate a gout attack through poor lifestyle choices (obesity, rich foods, alcohol), 10%-15% of gout patients have attacks due to a metabolic problem, such as a deficiency of enzymes (xanthine oxidase) and purine imbalances. Purines come from certain foods (meat products, especially liver and other organ meats, sausages and other processed meats, anchovies, crab, shrimp, milk, eggs, and many beans, including soy), but are also normally present, in the form of DNA and RNA in the cells. Purines are broken down into uric acid, which is then normally excreted through the urine.
Medications, including aspirin and diuretics, can cause gout by putting extra stress on the kidneys; these drugs cause 25% of new gout cases. Kidney stones and other kidney problems are present in 90% of gout sufferers, because urate crystals also accumulate in the kidneys.
Quick Action Plan for Gout
1. The goal of diet for those with gout is to reduce the production of uric acid to normal levels. Cherries, and all rich colored berries, such as blueberries, are recommended. Consume half a pound of fresh or unsweetened frozen cherries per day for a period of three to six weeks as a healing protocol.
2. Organic cherry juice is especially good for gout, as are many of the new “magic juices” such as Goji, Acai and Noni juice, puree or powder. Pomegranate fruit extracts have been shown to be effective as well.
3. Eliminate alcohol consumption, which both increases uric acid production and reduces uric acid excretion in the kidneys. Gout sufferers should also maintain a low-purine diet, which completely omits organ meats, shellfish, yeast (brewer’s and baker’s), herring, sardines, mackerel, and anchovies.
4. Intake of dried legumes, spinach, asparagus, fish, poultry, and mushrooms, should also be curtailed. Refined carbohydrates and saturated fats are best kept to a minimum.
5. Drink plenty of pure water, because it keeps urine diluted and promotes the excretion of uric acid. At least a gallon a day.
6. Test for food and environmental allergies and avoid all foods and substances to which you are allergic.
7. Cleansing and Detoxification, including colon and bowel cleansing therapies, fasting, kidney and gallbladder flushes, physical medicine, and homeopathic remedies.
8. In clinical trials with gout patients, devil’s claw was found to relieve joint pain, as well as reduce blood cholesterol and uric acid levels. For gout sufferers, professionals can recommend: 1-2 g of dried powdered devil’s claw root three times a day; 4-5 ml of (1:5) tincture three times a day; or 400 mg of dry solid extract (3:1) three times a day.
9. The following nutritional supplements are recommended: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 1.8 g daily), vitamin E (400-800 IU daily), folic acid (under a doctor’s supervision, 10-40 mg daily), and quercetin with bromelain (125-250 mg three times a day between meals).
Herbal Aids
The eliminative organs must be improved. Drink apple cider vinegar with honey and bathe the area in hot apple cider vinegar. To speed healing, take MCP pectin (one teaspoonful three times a day). Herbal teas work well to relieve pain. Tincture of lobelia with apple cider vinegar baths on the afflicted parts is very good. A good herb combination is equal parts of skullcap, valerian, and yarrow taken in tea form to assist in freeing the toxic waste from the tissues and to eliminate the waste through the various excretory organs.

need to buy pure cherry juice, not mixed with other juices. It can be expensive ($ 17/bottle last time I met him), but a bit ‘goes a long way. I’ve had in a local health food store reputation. My father-in-law swore that he helped with his gout.

Does anyone know any kind of pain treatment for Diabetic nerve damage that is natural or herbal?
07/06/10
My mother is 63 and has congestive heart failure, diabetes, herpes zoster, gout, edema, and lung disease. In the past 14 months has damaged the bottom of your feet, the damage occurs the first edition, when they step into a bucket of ice that was on the kitchen floor. No slip and fell, but the pain was coming for the next two weeks was more excruciating and almost unbearable at times! I could not walk on two feet or bear any weight on them, was incredible pain in both feet as little trauma to the foot one! About eight days ago, stepped on a little bitty piece of macaroni in the kitchen floor and was writhing in pain and unable to walk since then! Ati truck and took the tram to share the pain, but do nothing. What I’m asking is if there are products made from natural herbs to help relieve this pain?
Please tell me i want show my left foor which had pain always!
Thanks to all!
