Natural Gout cures or how to remedy the pain in your Big Toe TODAY.

Have you awoke in the middle of the night with a horrible pain? If so it is most often in your big toe. It came on fast with little or no warning and probably last for 7 to 10 days. Or that is what you may be told when you phone the doctor. There are many tests that need to be done to make sure you have real Gout and not pseudo Gout. That has similar symptoms is another disease from Gout. Mostly you care what Gout is and what can I do about it today.

Gout is caused by increased levels of uric acid in the blood may form crystals and settles into joints, tendons, and inflames nearby tissues. It afflicts 1 to 2% of the men. People may have symptoms most often starting at 30, in most women normally not till after 50. It is a frequent form of arthritis coming in cycles or attacks of severe inflammation (red, tender, hot, swollen joints).

Treatment with NSAIDS (of which ibuprophen is one), steroids, or colchicine relieves some symptoms. Once the acute case has subsided extended prevention with allopurinal and reduction of uric acid are usually lowered by way of lifestyle changes.

Do Natural Remedies really help?

Lots of people are unaware that doctors are not trained to cure your disease. Medical schools are turning out people to manage an illness. The thought is treat the symptoms make them feel better. My brother had acute gout and the doctor had him returning in every month at $85 dollars a visit and was giving him a high potency prescription that had to be prescribed every month. It could only be given for 30 days because it was so controlled etc. It turns out the prescription was for ALEVE! That was what he was given for three years. He could have gone to Sam's club and with the cost of one office visit bought the three years supply of Aleve himself.

But before we became dependent on hospitals and doctors, we took care of our own health! And before all these prescription medications, we used natural ways to cure infections and diseases. Most families knew how to cure common ailments like gout, kidney stones and urinary tract infections. They can be cured naturally with common foods and simple remedies.

In order to remedy gout, all you need to do is neutralize or flush the uric acid that is causing the crystals and pain. Here are some ideas to begin your alternative treatment. Your kidneys should be processing the meats, alcohol and other things that cause purines to develop in your system. But your diet can overload them and the excess uric acid that will form crystals in your joints and cause the pain. Your plan is to get rid of the uric acid crystals, put the crystals back into suspension (liquid state) and then pee them out.

Natural remedies to Treat Gout Pain in your Toe or wherever else it is. Hands can be painful as well.

1. Drink plenty of water with 8 to 10 glasses being a minimum. This will begin the process of flushing the uric acid. Beer, wine, coffee and tea do NOT count as water. Beer is one of the most common things that aggravate the condition.

2. Add baking soda (1/2 teaspoon) to a glass of water two times a day to begin neutralizing the acid that is causing the pain.

3. Fish oil will help alleviate joint inflammation. You could take 1capsules of fish oil twice a day during a flare up and less between times.

4. Vitamin B complex and a good multivitamin will help the body do its job and convert uric acid into assorted harmless substances. Start taking 350 mg daily.

5. Cherries either fresh or dried have proven to effectively neutralize uric acid and reduce swelling and edema. I got my brother on 12-20 cherries a day now and he has had no flare ups of Gout.

Ice used for 20 to 30 minutes as needed a day improves pain and reduces inflammation.

Your doctor may put you on any of these drugs and I believe you should definitely consult with a doctor on your cure. Gout is a form of Arthritis and is a serious illness long term and not just reaching for one of the quick fixes always. There are natural remedies and some are very fast treatments. But do not just rely on the doctor's drugs. Think about treating the symptom and feeling good NOW. I have more information on faster remedies at the end of the article. I cannot put a whole book into a short article.

Allopurinal blocks uric acid production and is the most commonly used hypourecemic agent. Longer term therapy is safe and easily tolerated and may be used with people with renal damage or urate stones. Supersensitivity occurs in a small number of people.

Probenecid is effective for treating hyperuricemia but has been found to be less effective than allopurinal. Others use 15 cherries a day or blueberries which taste better and work well.

Febuxostat, a non-purine inhibitor of xanthine oxidase, could be an alternative to allopurinal with about the same effectiveness at reducing attacks of gout. The drug was approved by European Medicines Agency in 2008 and by the FDA in 2009.

If you slow down red meats, alcohol, beer, etc it will help and certainly if you have a attack would be wise to stop them for a while anyway. I will post a second article on things to do to relieve or prevent gout. Look for it or website in the bio and you can find two very good books there that you can have now risk free to help you fight this problem. They both have a 60 day guarantee on them that if you use the methods and are not satisfied you get all your money back. Remember there are Natural Gout Cures that can make you feel better that day.
