Big Grin[/list]

[size=large][b]Maintain Healthy Weight![/b][/size][hr]Every pound you shed gives you a better chance of leaving gout in the dust. Begin eating healthier with fruits, veggies, fresh foods, whole grains and low fat foods. Interesting is what we had aimed to make this article on Lowering Uric Acid. It is up to you to decide if we have succeeded in our mission!

[list][*]Gout is a painful inflammation of joints caused by accumulation of uric acid crystals.[*]Uric acid is a normal chemical formed by the breakdown of purines, which in turn are an important component of the human body.[*]Many foods contain purines especially seafood and meat.[/list]

[size=large][b]Is Important to Prevent Attacks[/b][/size][hr]If left untreated repeated attacks can cause permanent joint damage and cause deformities of other parts by formation of 'tophi' which are lumps in the skin. Even if the acute attack is over medications must be continued to prevent the next attack.

Dietary changes such as decreasing the amount of purine -rich foods or alcohol may help. Discussing all medications with a healthcare provider is recommended. Never forget to mention any vitamins or natural remedies or herbal supplements that are being taken. Drink plenty of water, especially if a low carbohydrate, high-purine diet is consumed. New research has shown that vitamin C may decrease the level of uric but whether this will prevent gout is not clear. Saying that all that is written here is all there is on Gout would be an understatement. Very much more has to be learnt and propagated bout Gout.

[size=large][b]Is Important to Prevent Attacks[/b][/size][hr]If left untreated repeated attacks can cause permanent joint damage and cause deformities of other parts by formation of 'tophi,' lumps in the skin. Even if the acute attack is over medication must be continued to prevent the next attack. We hope you develop a better understanding of Allopurinol on completion of this article on Allopurinol. Only if the article is understood is it's benefit reached.

[size=large][b]As It is Well Known an Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure[/b][/size][hr]With gout though, the treatment is often very helpful .Unless a patient has a family history of gout or a genetic cause for gout or are taking medications that can cause gout such as some diuretics ('water-pills') it may be hard to predict as to who gets an attack. Once an attack occurs future attacks can be prevented by use of allopurinol, colchicines and other medications. Patients who have had an organ transplant are often on medications that can cause gout. As you progress deeper and deeper into this composition on Uric Acid, you are sure to unearth more information on Uric Acid. The information becomes more interesting as the deeper you venture into the composition.

[size=4][b]Gout - Arthritis[/b][/size][hr]Arthritis by Djehuty Ma'at-Ra The first Western disease I was ever familiar with as a little boy was arthritis. My beloved paternal grandmother, Bertha Cooper, suffered from this pathology for many years. She had it very bad in her wrists and joints. I remember her asking me if I would go to the corner liquor store on the corner of 101st Street and Avalon Boulevard in Watts, California, and buy her some Ben Gay, a white pharmaceutical anti-inflammatory rubbing cream. She would rub Ben Gay on her wrists and joints and her tendons as well.

However, when the Universe bestowed its Akashic Records of health knowledge upon me in the late 1990s, I finally understood why Grandma Sis (Bertha) developed and suffered from arthritis. You see, my grandmother was originally from the South, Mississippi to be exact. The ideal dinner was "soul food." My grandmother was an excellent cook and I never tasted any food back in my deaf, dumb, and blind days and years that tasted better than my paternal grandmother's food/cooking. However, while this so-called food, soul food, tasted good, I now understand that taste is not the criterion or measuring stick for what is healthy or nutritional. It was Grandma's good tasting soul food that did her in with arthritis and tendonitis. Yes, all that cornbread, collard and mustard greens, salt pork, candied yams, fried chicken, liver, catfish, pork chops, rock Cornish hen, neck bones, ham, white rice, etc. eventually did her (and the rest of my family members) in. Not to mention eating all that white, refined Webber's and Wonder bread, flap jacks (pancakes), syrup and biscuits, bacon, sausages, jelly cake, jelly sandwiches, saltine crackers, Vienna sausages, potted meat, Spam, hog's head cheese, liverwurst, etc. And what about all that hot cocoa, coffee (laced with white sugar and dairy cream), butter milk, pet milk, Kool-Aid, and soda pop that she drunk? Some of the matter found here that is pertaining to Uric Acid seems to be quite obvious. You may be surprised how come you never knew about it before!

[size=large][b]Organic Sulfur, Commonly Called MSM Sulfur, is Also Great in Healing Arthritis[/b][/size][hr]So is Noni juice! You can make your own healing salve as well from a base butter or oil such as shea or cocoa butter, coconut, olive, or almond oil (or any other good oil) and add in a few drops (10-15 drops) of the following essential oils: Peppermint, Clove, Wintergreen, Eucalyptus, Birch, and/or Spearmint. The presentation of an article on Uric Acid plays an important role in getting the reader interested in reading it. This is the reason for this presentation, which has gotten you interested in reading it!

[size=large][b]One of the Greatest Contributors of Arthritis is Collard and Mustard Greens[/b][/size][hr]Sorry Black folks, Negroes, and soul food lovers! But this is true! Greens are laced with "oxalic" acid and this oxalic acid is greatly produced when you cook the greens. This is true! And for you rat feces-laced chocolate lovers out there, your precious chocolate also contains oxalic acid.

However, the children of the future, including my son, Asim, and daughter, Layla, and other Conscious Minds offspring - Nadya, Najee, Elijah, Asar, Sunshine and the newest edition from Melia and Obea, and the others (out here on the West Coast in Los Angeles) will all benefit from this profound knowledge of proper diet as well as from my suffering and grief, as well as their parents. I'm also quite sure that many children around the nation will also benefit from their parents' reading and applying this health information and knowledge that is freely distributed. Self-praise is no praise. So we don't want to praise ourselves on the effort put in writing on Uric Acid. instead, we would like to hear your praise after reading it! Wink

Now, I don't want you thinking soul food is the cause of arthritis, because a lot of white folks, Mexicans/Latinos, and Asians also suffer from arthritis. Like soul food, the Standard American Diet will also cause arthritis. Arthritis is an American disease! It is always better to have compositions with as little corrections in it as possible. This is why we have written this composition on Uric Acid with no corrections for the reader to be more interested in reading it.

[list][*]Make the change people![*]Taste is not the criterion for what is healthy.[*]Nutritional content is![*]Peace and love, readership![*]This article was compliments of www.DHERBS.com and Djehuty Ma'at-Ra, the People's Herbalist! [/list]

[size=large][b]As a Little Boy, I Didn't Understand Disease[/b][/size][hr]I didn't know how my grandmother developed arthritis. All I knew is that she had it (and claimed it too). We find great potential in Uric Acid. This is the reason we have used this opportunity to let you learn the potential that lies in Uric Acid.

[size=large][b]You See, Arthritis is a Condition of Inflammation of the Joints[/b][/size][hr]That's all it is. The Latin word "Arth" means "joints," and the English suffix, "it is" means "inflammation." What is inflammation? A burning! What causes this burning or inflammation? ACID!!! Plain and simple! Big Grin.

As much as I loved soul food and my relative's cooking back in my death (Negro) days, you couldn't put a gun to my head and compel me to eat a piece of chicken or pork today, and I mean that! I love myself too much to harm my temple of God. My children are beautiful (and highly astute and precocious) because of what their parents ate before and while conceiving them. You can do it too!

Most modern day suffers of arthritis (and tendonitis and gout) are fighting the symptoms of these inflammatory diseases with pharmaceutical grade drugs. Even though God instructed Bible believers to heal themselves with herbs (Revelations 22:2, Ezekiel 47:12, and Pslams 104: , in their strange obedience to God, they take the enemy's pharmaceutical drugs that prolong the arthritis. Why and how? Because pharmaceutical grade drugs, though made from alkaloids, eventually break down into ACID (especially ascetic acid, which eats your red blood cells up) in the body, and acid produces inflammation, so how intelligent is it to take something to target the symptom which eventually lengthens and worsen the initial condition? We did not write too elaborate an article on Uric Acid as it would be then difficult for the common man to read it. We have written this article in such a way that everyone will be able to read and understand it!

[size=large][b]Man, Life is So Wonderful When You Know How to Heal and Prevent Disease[/b][/size][hr]The understanding of diseases is just as important. Sometimes I'm full of grief and sorrow from my knowledge and knowing that people suffer from a lack of knowledge (and insanity too). See Ecclesiastes 1:18 and Hosea 4:6 It is rather interesting to note that people like reading about Uric Acid if they are presented in an easy and clear way. The presentation of an article too is important for one to entice people to read it!

[list][*]She didn't smoke cigarettes like her five sons, but she would roll up her own smokes with Prince Albert brand tobacco and Zig Zag paper.[*]My childhood friends thought my grandmother smoked marijuana.[*]It was a little embarrassing until they found out what it was she was really smoking.[*]Devil's Claw, Boswellia, Uva Ursi, and Mullein are the paramount arthritis herbs.[*]They greatly counteract mucus, which is the byproduct of acid, which causes inflammation.[/list]

Quote:[list][*]My good friend and brother, Mark Lomax, a musician, healed himself from serious bouts of gout, another acid condition.[*]It's been a few years now since he had gout.[*]What did he do?[*]First, he detoxified his body on our Full Body Detox.[*]Then, he did a daily regimen of our Electric Greens Cell Food (pure alkalinity), Joints Formula and Black Cherry Juice Concentrate.[*]You wouldn't recognize this brother if you knew him 3 years ago.[*]He also lost more than 70 lbs on these herbs.[*]This man is a walking example of healing![/list]

[list][*]MSM Sulfur- ***** id=73 Reading all this about Uric Acid is sure to help you get a better understanding of Uric Acid.[*]So make full use of the information we have provided here.[*]Should also mention the importance of pineapple enzymes called Bromelain for the healing of arthritis and other acid conditions.[*]Bromelain or pineapple enzymes are anti-inflammatory in nature and effect and therefore provide healing for arthritis.[*]They taste just like candy and are chewable and you can chew as much as you like, although 3-6 tablets after dinner ought to get the job done.[*]You can find Bromelain at most good health food stores.[*]Do not judge a book by its cover; so don't just scan through this matter on Gout. read it thoroughly to judge its value and importance.[/list]

Grandma Sis was lucky, eventually dying from degeneracy (that doctors call natural death). However, her sons (and daughter-in-laws, nephews, nieces, and grandchildren) were not so lucky, dying from the insidious cancer, including my father from lung cancer in 1994 and my mother from pancreatic cancer in Thinking of what to do upon reading this article on Uric Acid? Well you can very well use the information constructively by imparting it to others.

[list][*]All that meat converted into uric acid in my grandmother's joints and ligaments.[*]The starches broke down into carbonic acid and also made its way into her joints.[*]And so did the lactic acid from the brake down of the dairy products she consumed.[/list]

[size=large][b]The Smoking Also Created an Over Acid Condition in My Grandmother as Well[/b][/size][hr]She also had bouts with gout, which is nothing but arthritis in the ankle area. We were actually wondering how to get about to writing about Gout. However once we started writing, the words just seemed to flow continuously!

Soaking inflamed body parts in hot water and essential oils of Peppermint and Eucalyptus is also beneficial for arthritis. But most importantly in fighting arthritis is modified diet. Cut out or cut down on meat and dairy products. These are two of the biggest culprits in causing arthritis. A vegetable cocktail consisting of celery, parsley, apple and/or carrot (for sweetness and base) 3-4 times weekly will greatly remove acid buildup in the joints. By all means, avoid all acidic beverages (beer, soda pop, milk, orange juice, wine, coffee, etc.). Responsibility is what makes a person. So we felt it our responsibility to elaborate more on Uric Acid so that not only us, but everyone knew more about it!

[i]Mentioned all of the above to let you all know that my grandmother's arthritis was caused by what she ate and drank on a daily basis through ignorance, tradition, and habit. [/i]

[size=large][b]However, Other Certain Herbs Work Synergistically With the Herbs Supra[/b][/size][hr]Personally, no healing from arthritis can take place efficiently without the following herbs: Devil's Claw, Boswellia (Frankincense), Uva Ursi, Mullein leaves, Saffron, Cayenne pepper, Feverfew, and Guaiac wood. Failure is the stepping stone to success. So if you do fail to understand this article on Uric Acid, don't fret. Read it again a few times, and you are sure to finally get its meaning.

[size=large][b]Mother Nature Has Provided Healing for Arthritis and Other Inflammatory Diseases[/b][/size][hr]To heal from arthritis, all one needs to consume is certain herbs. Herbs that are anti-inflammatory in nature are the best to heal from arthritis. These herbs include Meadowsweet, Peppermint, Wintergreen, Birch, White and Black Willow Bark and Balm of Gilead. It is with much interest that we got about to write on Uric Acid. So we do hope that you too read this article with the same, if not more interest!

[size=large][b]You can Rub this Salve Directly on Your Joints or Other Problems Area[/b][/size][hr]It is very soothing and healing. And of course, as an herbalist, I have formulated my own Joint Formula that consists of all the herbs mentioned above that is a powerful little formula that works wonders for me when my wrists start to hurt from excessive typing (typing up all that legal pleading). Developing a basis for this composition on Gout was a lengthy task. It took lots of patience and hard work to develop.

[size=large][b]Can't Forget about Magnet Therapy as Well for Arthritis[/b][/size][hr]Magnets make a problem or injured area alkaline and also enhances circulation to the problem area so that healing can begin. A rolling stone gathers no moss. So if I just go on writing, and you don't understand, then it is of no use of me writing about Gout! Whatever written should be understandable by the reader.

My family could not, would not, and to this very day, still will not believe that what they put into their mouths cause their pathologies and eventually kills them. It was easy to write me off when I was a Muslim and member of the Nation of Islam in the early 1990s, simply saying "that boy is mad at white folks and the world!" But today as a Naturist, what's their excuse? Nothing but ignorance and traditional paralysis! Soul food is a tradition, Djehuty! Yes, a tradition that leads to an early grave! Gout are basically interesting parts of our day-to-day life. It is only that sometimes, we are not aware of this fact! Wink

The little red fruit that has been enjoyed by countless millions offers more than great taste. Are cherries truly fruit for a healthy you? Recent studies have revealed that cherries offer an assortment of health benefits including the ability to offer natural relief from joint pain caused from gout, arthritis and joint inflammation.

So what makes the tasty red fruit so beneficial? The wonder of the cherry is the anthocyanins. According to research from Michigan State University tart cherries contain anthocyanins and bioflavonoids, which inhibit the enzymes Cyclooxygenase-1 and -2, and prevent inflammation in the body. These compounds have similar activity as aspirin, naproxen and ibuprofen. Further investigations revealed that daily consumption of tart cherries has the potential to reduce the pain associated with joint inflammation. Many consumers are choosing to drink cherry juice, eat cherries or consume tart cherry pills to starve off the pain of gout, arthritis and joint inflammation. Whenever one reads any reading matter likeGout, it is vital that the person enjoys reading it. One should grasp the meaning of the matter, only then can it be considered that its reading is complete.

Linda L. Patterson is a living testimony of the soothing affects of cherries on her joint pain. 'I enjoy crocheting and lately my hands have been so painful, I couldn't crochet for more than about 30 minutes.', says Patterson. In an attempt to find relief from her pain, she located Fruit Advantage Tart Cherry capsules, a supplement made from red tart cherries. 'Within the first week of taking the tart cherry capsules my hands felt so much better.', says Ms. Patterson. 'I am now able to crochet without the pain in my hands.'

Addition to the health benefits offered by cherries, many people are just eating the fruit for the taste. John Simms, a life-long resident of Indianapolis, Indiana, eats cherries for the convenience and taste. 'As a short-haul truck driver, my diet isn't the best, I would eat fast food every day. A year ago, my wife bought some dried cherries and I began eating them to keep my weight down. Now I eat a handful of cherries instead of eating fast food.'

[size=large][b]Not Only are Cherries a Great Way to Maintain a Healthy Body They are a Natural Product[/b][/size][hr]According to Andrew LaPointe, Director of Marketing for Traverse Bay Farms, www.traversebayfarms.com 'many of our customers are looking to eat healthier and fruit products fit this trend. It's certainly better than fast food.' Traverse Bay Farms sells Fruit Advantage Tart Cherry capsules and cherry juice concentrate.
