Hi David

Not hereditary as someone will tell you. Here is the cause and how to resolve it.

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.

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.

Best of health to you

Answer 2

The common name for this disease is gout. The real problem with having high uric acid is that there is a problem with your body digesting uric acid so it tends to build up in your blood and then every once in a while will crystallize in one of your joints, clasically in the great toe joint and cause sweling and pain, almost like you have an infection in the joint. This lasts for 3-5 days and then goes away. The allopurinol is supposed to limit the times you have these got attacks and you will probably have to take it for life if you really have gout. The other thing you can do is limit the amount of foods you eat that have large amounts of purines which get broken down into uric acid. These foods are usually rich cheeses, wine, nuts, and meats. That is why gout is more prevalant arount the CHristmas holidays. Otherwise don't worry so much you aren't going to die from this.

Answer 3

The only information that I have on Uric acid (too much) is that it causes gout in the joints. My husband also has too much UA. And gout is basically the same (feeling anyway) as arthritis. Do research on the meds he gave you to take...you may want to supplement some calcium pills as well.

Answer 4

Sounds like you headed for a classic case of gout and type II diabetes. Drink more water, watch your diet. No LDL fats. Use LDL reducing/ HDL elevating type foods. Drastically increase your intake of fluids and while your at it drink cranberry juice. This type of diet means red meat about once a month and then only 4 oz. (Fits inside the palm of your hand.) Lose weight.

Answer 5

Diabetes is usually treated through a combination of diet (low sugar), exercise and medications/insulin. Milder cases can be controlled with just diet an/or exercise while more severe cases require meds or insulin as well.
