GOUTIN IT OUT

[nomad 11]

ok the cherry juice isnt doing much. and i'm still taking acetaminophen here and there. the swelling went down before i started taking the cherry juice. this is what i concluded. when the crystals form in the joints they must do some damage to the cartilage in the joint ? and that must be what i'm experiencing ? so how to remedy that ? especially in the feet and ankles. eeeeeoouch !

It isn't instant, it is something you should take regularly if you have gout to reduce the number of flare-ups, Turmeric is also good for gout.

Some treatment I also recommend is the gin-soaked raisins treatment. I have used it for plantar fasciitis. I was going to have foot surgery because of the pain and nothing I tried worked much. While waiting for the surgery I read about this treatment and thought I would try it as I had nothing to lose, about 3 weeks after starting it all the pain in my heels went away. I had my mother try it for her arthritis in her hands that she suffered from for years, the same thing happen to her, about 3 weeks after starting the pain in her hands went away, and gout is inflammation. What hurt to try and the cost is cheap.

Get a box of golden raisins and a pint of gin with real juniper berries, not juniper flavor, put the raisins in a container and pour the gin over them till they are completely covered, cover them with a piece of cheesecloth or anything you have to keep bugs out but it needs to allow the raisins and gin to breath so don't put them in an airtight container. The alcohol will evaporate in you can start taking them in about 10 days. Take a teaspoon every day.

It is a combination of the sulfur in the golden raisins and the juniper berries in the gin that works. It is a natural anti-inflammatory, juniper berries were used by native Americans for inflamation.

Patience or place to do it It is a simple process that can be done on the countertop and it takes less than 10 mins to prepare and then wait 10 days for alcohol to evaporate.

Colchicine used to work great for me when the cost was $10 for 100 pills- when I would get a gout attack I would take one pill every 2 hrs until I got diahrea-usually 2-5 pills and by that time the gout was gone- so the treatment cost under 50cents. The drug company took the old colchicine off the market, then tweaked the formula a little and got a new patent with a new name- colchris and now charge about $7 per pill. I had a neighbor that was a retired urologist and he sold me all of his unused colchicine after he went on celebrex-he never needed the colchicine after he was on celebrex. So I'm assuming celebrex treats gout also. It seems that the old colchicine was too cheap and worked too well for the drug companies to make any money. I never wanted to go on allopurinol because I don't want to take any drug on a daily basis, but a lot of people I know with gout swear by it

You are making excuses, if you wanted to do it you could. You are talking 15 mins to prep it, you could store it at a friend's house, you could even put it in a small metal can, put the top on can, and bury the can for 10 days, wouldn't hurt it at all.
