[size=large][b]Alternative Remedies for Gout[/b][/size][hr]Researched! Natural! Guaranteed! These 3 words and 22 years of natural health experience have made Joe Barton and Barton Publishing a leader in natural health. For more alternative remedies for gout, There are universal applications on Gout everywhere. However, it is up to us to decide the way used for these applications to get the best results from them.

Gout is a type of arthritis caused by the excessive accumulation of uric acid inside the organism. In large amounts, uric acid forms crystals which deposit in various regions of the body, causing inflammation, pain and swelling of the joints. Uric acid is a waste product that results from purine metabolism. Although most cases of gout are hereditary, occurring due to genetically acquired renal dysfunctions which determine an inappropriate elimination of uric acid, gout is more likely to occur in people who consume large amounts of purine-rich foods. Thus, an appropriate diet and lifestyle improvements can successfully alleviate the symptoms of gout and can actually reverse the undesirable effects of the disease.

Both sweet cherries (dark cherries) and sour cherries (ruby-red cherries) have proved to be very benefic for gout sufferers. Sweet cherries contain few calories and are rich in natural fibers. Sweet cherries contain melatonin, a chemical that has sedative and analgesic effects. Thus, the intake of sweet cherries can also ease recurrent gout pain. In addition, this type of cherries contains a powerful natural antioxidant that acts similarly to vitamin C. Sweet cherries can also lower the levels of inflammatory substances such as nitric oxide and C-reactive protein, chemicals that are related to gout, diabetes and heart disease.

[size=large][b]There are Many Natural Products that can Reduce Serum Uric Acid Concentration[/b][/size][hr]Gout sufferers are advised to eat plenty of fiber-rich vegetables (preferably raw) and fresh fruits, as they contain low levels of purines and they are also a great source of vital nutrients. Among all fruits, cherries seem to be the best natural remedy for gout. Apart from being irresistibly delicious, cherries have anti-inflammatory, sedative and analgesic properties, and they can considerably ameliorate the clinical manifestations of gout. A frequent intake of cherries can considerably reduce the duration and the intensity of gout attacks, by normalizing uric acid levels inside the body. Recent studies have revealed that by including cherries in their diet, gout sufferers are able to eliminate more uric acid through urine. Thus, cherries act as a purgative agent, aiding the process of excretion.

[size=large][b]Gout Attacks Occur Suddenly in Most of the Cases[/b][/size][hr]The first attack is surely going to develop at night, people getting to wake up feeling an extreme joint pain. During gout attack people usually develop the following symptoms: sudden and severe joint pain, swelling, reddish skin around the affected joints and extreme sensitivity in those areas.

Corticosteroids are also used but not as often as NSAIDs or colchicine because they do not have the same effect. Chronic gout is usually treated with xanthine oxidase inhibitors or uricosuric agents that help the kidneys to eliminate the excess of uric acid produced in the body.

[size=large][b]Gout Symptoms Occur in Three Phases[/b][/size][hr]The first phase refers to the sudden onset of a joint pain, especially in the big toe, that lasts more than 5 days, going in some cases up to 10 days or even more. The second period is believed to be a period with no symptoms or attacks. This is the period between episodes. The third phase refers to the untreated cases of gout. In this last phase persistent symptoms develop. During this phase episodes occur more often and cause severe pain. We tried to create as much matter for your understanding when writing on Gout. We do hope that the matter provided here is sufficient to you.

[size=large][b]Colchicine is Also Used Because It Eases the Pain Cause by Gout[/b][/size][hr]The problem with this medicine it's its side effects that can not be tolerated by any patient. Its side effects include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps. Developing a gradual interest in Acute Gout was the basis for writing this article. On reading this, you will gradually get interested in Acute Gout.

All these symptoms might be a cause of an unhealthy diet or even the cause of too much alcohol drinking. Beside these factors that may lead to gout we also need to mention that gout may occur after a surgical intervention, after a sudden and severe illness or after chemotherapy. An injury to a joint might also lead to development of gout. Revision is very important when writing or speaking about a topic. We had a lot of drafting to do to come to this final product on Colchicine.

[size=large][b]The Beginning of the Disease Rare Episodes are Happening[/b][/size][hr]In that phase episodes do not last a long period of time. More than that after an episode everything seems to be going back to normal and between episodes no symptoms occur. It is recommended for the disease to be treated with medication in order to prevent the more often occurrence of these episodes. If gout is not treated the episodes might last longer and might occur more often too. The repeating episodes might lead to a damage of the affected joints, causing limited mobility after any attack.

[list][*]Foods that cause gout are rich in a chemical called purines.[*]These foods include organ meats such as liver, brain, kidneys and sweetbreads.[*]Other foods include anchovies, herring, dried peas and beans.[/list]

The purines get converted to uric acid but if they accumulate in excess they will cause gout. The uric acid crystals, which form will irritate the lining of joints such as the one in the big toe. This leads to inflammation and pain and swelling at the joint. Cutting back on the amount of foods that cause gout or avoiding them is a good idea if someone has gout, however, always remember to get an adequate and balanced diet. Alcohol affects the removal of uric acid from the body and too much alcohol can trigger gout. Low carbohydrate diets, which are rich in protein, can also trigger gout. People often forget to drink enough water especially in winter and this needs to be kept in mind if they are on a low carbohydrate diet. With the use of medications there is less of a need for a drastic dietary change but avoiding or limiting certain foods will help reduce the severity of attacks and may help people who have difficulty with medications that treat gout. It is not always that we just turn on the computer, and there is a page about Uric Acid Crystals. We have written this article to let others know more about Uric Acid Crystals through our resources.

[list][*]There is some recent research, which has shown that vitamin C in certain doses may decrease the uric acid level slightly.[*]However it may not be relevant in patients with gout and further details are needed.[*]Another interesting recent research revelation was that meat and seafood intake raised uric acid levels but dairy intake decreased it.[*]Again, what this means for patients who have gout or individuals trying to prevent gout is unclear.[*]Surprisingly, recent analyses have shown that moderate protein or even purine-rich vegetables was not associated with an increased risk of gout.[/list]
