how can i cure my gout or at least control it?

Answer 1

Treatment

The goals of treatment for gout consist of alleviating pain, avoiding severe attacks in the future, and preventing long-term joint damage. In addition to taking pain medications as prescribed by their doctors, people having gout attacks are encouraged to rest and to increase the amount of fluids that they drink.

Acute attacks of gout can be treated with nonaspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as naproxen sodium (Aleve), ibuprofen (Advil), or

indomethacin (Indocin). In some cases, these drugs can aggravate a peptic ulcer or existing kidney disease and cannot be used. Doctors sometimes also use colchicine (Colbenemid), especially in cases where nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs cannot be used. Colchicine may cause diarrhea, which tends to go away once the patient stops taking it. Corticosteroids such as prednisone (Deltasone) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (Acthar) may be given orally or may be injected directly into the joint for a more concentrated effect. While all of these drugs have the potential to cause side effects, they are used for only about 48 hours and are not likely to cause major problems. However, aspirin and closely related drugs (salicylates) should be avoided because they can ultimately worsen gout.

Once an acute attack has been successfully treated, doctors try to prevent future attacks of gout and long-term joint damage by lowering uric acid levels in the blood. There are two types of drugs for correcting hyperuricemia. Uricosuric drugs, such as probenecid (Benemid) and sulfinpyrazone (Anturane), lower the levels of urate in the blood by increasing its removal from the body (excretion) through the urine. These drugs may promote the formation of kidney stones, and they may not work for all patients, especially those with kidney disease. Allopurinol (Zyloprim), a type of drug called a xanthine-oxidase inhibitor, blocks the production of urate in the body, and can dissolve kidney stones as well as treating gout. The potential side effects of allopurinol include rash, a skin condition known as dermatitis, and liver dysfunction. Once people begin taking these medications, they must take them for life or the gout will continue to return.

Alternative treatment

The alternative medicine approach to gout focuses on correcting hyperuricemia by losing weight and limiting the intake of alcohol and purine-rich foods. In addition, consuming garlic (Allium sativum) has been recommended to help prevent gout. Increasing fluid intake, especially by drinking water, is also recommended. During an acute attack, contrast hydrotherapy (alternating three-minute hot compresses with 30-second cold compresses) can help dissolve the crystals and resolve the pain faster.

Recommendations and treatments for Gout 1.Bromelain :500 mg every 3 hours during an attack; reduce to twice a day to help prevent further attacks. 2.Quercetin : 500 mg twice a day between meals.Take with bromelain to help prevent gout attacks. Cherry Fruit Extract: 1,000 mg 3 times a day following an acute attack.Reduce dosage to 1,000 mg a day for maintenance. Vitamin C: 500 mg a day. Add 500 mg every 5 days until you reach 1,000 mg twice a day. Reduce dose if diarrhea develops. Nettle: 250 mg standardized extract 3 times a day. Also effective as a nettle tea compress applied to sore joints. (Use 1 or 2 tsp. dried herb per cup of hot water.) Flaxseed Oil : 1 tbsp. (14 grams) a day. Can be mixed with food; take in the morning. I-WATER INTAKE If you are under an attack and do not consume enough non-chlorinated water, it can and most likely will get worse. The crystals are being dissolved into a soluble form and the levels of uric acid in the blood will rise significantly. If you do not keep the blood hydrated, the uric acid can and most likely will re-crystallize. You should consume at least 30% more than you expel. If you are under an attack , it is imperative that you drink about 96oz of non-chlorinated distilled or bottled water to relieve the attack as quickly as possible. After this attack, you should consume at least 64oz a day with the capsules to remain gout free. II- Maintain a diet of low purines at all times. Eat very little meat red or pork, no organ meats at all (Hot dogs, bologna, etc.) Consume no alcohol. Do not eat any fried foods, roasted nuts, or any foods containing of cooked with oil that has been subjected to heat. Avoid rich foods such as cakes and pies. Limit white flour and sugar products in your diet. Avoid the amino acid glycine. Limit your intake of caffeine, cauliflower, dried beans, lentils, fish, eggs, oatmeal, peas, poultry, spinach, and yeast products. If you are overweight, lose excessive pounds but avoid crash diets because they will bring on an attack as well. CAUTION: Do not use Acetaminophen in any form during a gout attack. It can also be found in liquid cold formula medications and capsules. Acetaminophen may cause the gout attack to more severe and prevent a gout attack from subsiding.

Gout is a form of Arthritis and it is cuase by uric acid build up in the system

The first step wherever possible, must be to correct those factors mentioned above which give rise to high uric acid levels. Purines are substances found in food, which, when broken down produce a lot of uric acid. Therefore the following foods which are high in Purines should be restricted or avoided:

# Offal foods such as liver, kidneys, tripe, sweetbreads and tongue.
# Excessive amounts of red meat.
# Shellfish, fish roe and scallops.
# Peas. lentils and beans.
# Alcohol intake should be reduced. Two glasses of beer a day or less is sensible. On special occasions you can drink more.
# Weight loss may be very important.
# Medication for high blood pressure may need to be altered
