Gout Remedies

Gout results from a composition of prolonged elevation of uric acid and wide acidity in the bloodstream. Gout normally attacks the big toe (approximately 75 percent of first attacks); however, it also can sway other joints such as the ankle, heel, instep, knee, wrist, elbow, fingers, or spine.

Gout occurs when crystals of uric acid, in the form of monosodium urate, precipitate on the articular cartilage of joints, on tendons, and in the surrounding tissues. Gout may be former (including idiopathic), or secondary to (a complication of) other condition. Gout is more base in affluent societies due to a diet rich in proteins, fat, and alcohol.

Gout also can design as a co-morbidity of other diseases, along with polycythaemia, intake of cytotoxics, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, renal disorders, and hemolytic anemia. Gout is an important complication in a minority of solid organ transplant.

Gout can be triggered by the same agents that cause potassium losses such as fasting, surgery, and potassium losing diuretics. Gout is a form of arthritis that affects mostly middle-aged men and postmenopausal women. Gout is a disease that results from an overload of uric acid in the body.

Gout has the unique discrepancy of being one of the most frequently recorded medical illnesses throughout history. Gout arthritis is typically an highly painful strike with a rapid onset of joint inflammation. Population with gout are normally advised to reduce their intake of purine-rich foods.

Gout attacks can be controlled or prevented by lifestyle changes and the use of confident medications. Gouty joints show the most visibly red signs of inflammation of any of the 100 types of arthritis. Gout is a painful type of arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in and colse to the joints. Gout is caused by uric acid crystals deposited in the body's tissues which lead to recurrent attacks of joint inflammation.

Gout and pseudo gout are similar in some ways yet separate in other ways. Gout attacks can be controlled or prevented by a great diet and lifestyle changes and the use of confident medications. Gouty arthritis is the name for an strike of a metabolic disease marked by uric acid deposits in the joints. Gout was once known as "the disease of kings" and "the king of diseases".

Gout is recognized as one of the important causes of painful, disabling, continuing arthritis. Gout is recognized as one of the most painful types of arthritis. In isolation, neither elevated uric acid nor acidity is adequate to cause gout. In some cases, the condition may appear in the joints of small toes that have come to be immobile due to impact injury earlier in life; the resulting poor blood circulation can lead to gout.

Uric acid is more likely to form into crystals when there is hyperuricemia, although hyperuricemia is 10 times more base without clinical gout than with it. Gout can also occur when serum uric acid is normal, and when it is abnormally low (hypouricemia). Paradoxically, acute attacks of gout can occur together with a sudden decrease in serum uric acid, such as due to use of drugs (uricosurics, xanthine oxidase inhibitors), or total parenteral nutrition.

About 10% of Population with hyperuricemia design gout. Alcohol intake often causes acute attacks of gout and hereditary factors may lead to the elevation of uric acid. Typically, persons with gout are obese, predisposed to diabetes and hypertension, and at higher risk of heart disease.

It is not rare, however, to find gout among the poorer classes, who drink large quantities of alcohol, and whose food is insufficient in quantity and quality. This is known as "poor man's gout.

Colitis Cure - Natural Remedies That Work

Many habitancy diagnosed with ulcerative colitis have already tried prescription drugs and often surgical operation to combat their illness. In most cases, the medical treatments only work to suppress the symptoms for a while. But since they don't heal the basal causes of colitis, it is nearly impossible to effect a cure using medical methods.

Trigger Finger Surgery

Ulcerative colitis is regularly caused by one or any of the following factors combining synergistically to yield disease. If you go back over your own personal health history, I think you'll find a mix of the following damaging events, that singly or in combination have degraded the health of your gut and immune system:

Antibiotic Use - any antibiotic therapy that is not followed by full-spectrum probiotic therapy causes lasting, pervasive damage to the bacterial flora of your gastrointestinal tract (from mouth to anus), which in turn leads to increased infestation of yeast, parasites, viruses, bad bacteria and other pathogens. These pathogens degrade the mucosal lining and damage the intestinal wall (symptoms contain bloating, gas, inflammation, bleeding, etc.) which leads to Leaky Gut Syndrome, which then triggers allergic and auto-immune response. clear antibiotic drugs can cause ulcerative colitis all by themselves (like Novo Clindamycin), and the pharmaceutical facts that comes with these products even explicitly warns of this. Yet medical doctors continue to prescription them and also don't effect usage with probiotics. Environmental and Food-borne Toxins - processed foods with preservatives, monosodium glutamate (Msg), synthetic sweeteners and flavors, nitrites and other proven toxins and carcinogens, microwaved foods, toxins contained in skin care products, shampoos, cosmetics, furniture, carpets, and the air (to name a few sources) all cause cellular and systemic damage. Vaccination - childhood, adult, flu vaccines, etc. Causes direct damage to bacterial flora of the gut and long-term, immune system damage. See my article, "Should I Vaccinate My Child?" for details and scientific references. Emotional Trauma or Abuse - don't underestimate the damaging effects of abusive or traumatic emotional experiences on the body, and the gut in particular. For some of you, this may be damage from your past that was never resolved/healed, and/or ongoing emotional patterns or experiences that continue to degrade your health daily. Remember that 60% of your body's neurotransmitters are in your gut, not your brain! An exquisite book on this topic is When The Body Says No by Gabor Mate, Md. Parasites & Pathogenic Microorganisms - if your gut ecology is already weakened or imbalanced, voyage to a foreign country or ingestion of tainted food/water can be the 'straw that breaks the camel's back'. If your bacterial flora is already imbalanced with a deficit of useful bacteria, then it's very easy for parasites, yeast, molds, bad bacteria, or fungus to flourish. These pathogens then degrade the health of your intestinal mucosal lining, which can effect in ulceration, inflammation, bleeding and subsequent damage to your systemic health.
Each of these causative factors - along with lesser factors like either or not you were breastfed, your mother's health while you were in utero, hereditary/genetic weaknesses, heavy metal levels in your body, mercury amalgam fillings in your teeth, pesticide exposure, etc. - will lead in varying degrees and combinations to your particular pathology. Distinct habitancy are susceptible to Distinct factors and something that strongly affects your friend adversely, may only mildly sway you adversely. There is seldom just one factor (pathogen) in isolation that causes ulcerative colitis. However, I believe each of us is capable of identifying our own particular pathology, or the causative factors, of our own ill health and then taking the steps that will be particularly medical to each of us.

Once you've identified the basal root causes of your colitis, you can seek out potent natural remedies to heal each of those causative factors. If infection is the cause of your colitis, then your medical doctor will likely already have put you on antibiotics to wipe out the bad bacteria that are infecting your colon. However, unless this was followed by therapeutic-grade probiotics, then your colon is likely infected again, plus overrun with yeast (Candida albicans), which flourishes following antibiotic usage.

So in this case, you would need a potent natural antibiotic like wild oregano oil, followed by high dose, therapeutic-grade probiotics and a low-sugar diet to forestall relapse. You may also need targeted supplements to fix the damage done to your mucosal lining and intestinal wall - like L-glutamine, aloe vera, N-acetyl glucosamine, deglycyrrhizinated licorice, slick elm, marshmallow root, etc.

Lastly, you need to keep in mind that natural medical is not quick. Since it is medical the actual cause(s) of your colitis (which no doubt took a long time to build up in your body), this medical and balancing will take some time. You know that if you cut your finger open, for example, it will not heal immediately, but takes time to heal. In addition, your body will simultaneously be cleansing and detoxing from pathogens, drug residues, and other toxins, and this also takes time.

But if you truly want to 'cure' your colitis - not just suppress the symptoms, or contact short-term remissions - then natural, holistic medical is the pathway to success. Yes. It takes time. This is why I call it a "Healing Journey", but it is so very worth it.
