My b/f had gout. He went on a strict, no meat diet. He also takes shark cartilage pills every day. And he has not had a problem with gout in a long time.
Gout is an inflamation of your joints so look for info on things that help keep the inflammation down.
If you have a gout attack right now, the best thing to do is to ice it down or soak your foot in a warm tub of water. Don't walk around so much or use a cane if you must. Drink Ginger tea. Just cut a couple of slices in water and boil it. Drink the broth and that will help with the inflammation.

Gout is a condition where uric acid crystals build up in the body.
This can happen in the area of the big toe and cause a lot of pain.
Our foods contain purines; some foods are higher in this than others.
The doctor may place you on a lower purine diet (of which they will usually provide you a list of foods to avoid. There is also medications that can lower the uric acid in the blood
Here an alternative way to cure gout?

Honestly I have said it many times on this site that Kevin Trudeau is a snake oil salesman looking for a get rich quick scheme. Naturopath's laugh at him because he is not a certified or a licensed practitioner.
If you want someone who has experience in Alternative and Homeopathic healing. I would suggest reading a book by Andrew Weil M.D. He has research and practiced integrated medicine for over 30 years.

Have Kevin Trudeau's Natural Cures books. Try somewhere else. He is not on target on much of his ideas, and has no medical background.

You shouldn't trust or read anything by kevin Trudeau. he has no medical background and is a convicted con artist. before he wrote all these books he was convicted of fruad because he sold fake dietary supplements and fake products. They can't touch him now because books are considered freedom of speech
just eat less meat and more fruits and vegetables.

I have it. The essential thing is to avoid a heavy protein diet and shelled foods. I did not get this from the book however. Increase vegetable and fruit content in diet. I find that taking fruit and vegetables at least 3 hours apart also has improved my condition.

i bought his first book,and didn`t see much information in it.It said to refere to his website.What if you don`t have a computer,you wouldn`t get any use out of the book.I didn`t buy anymore of his books.Prescription for Nutritional Healing is a much better book.When an attack of gout occurs,eat only raw fruits and vegitables for two weeks,juices are best.frozen or fresh cherry juice is excellent.drink celery juice diluted with distilled water.blueberries,cherries,and strawberries neutralize uric acid.include grains,seeds,and nuts in your diet..Kelp or alfalfa contains complete protein and vital minerals to reduce serum uric acid.Apply cayenne powder mixed with wintergreen oil to make a paste.apply to affected areas.
