i think gout has something to do with our heart, its a heart related disease, i have seen my friend who suddenly fall down because of gout he could hardly stretch his leg and can not walk immediately the best remedy is to consult your doctor

Joyce3507 - I noticed this is an older post and wondering if you ever tested Quercetin & Bromelain or the cherry caps or juice? Is this for you or for someone you know and how long has the situation been going on? I know Gout can lead to amputation, but believe there is a potential solution before that point.

My personal experience is with bioready rice and how it has helped another with gout specifically, as well as, those with severe circulatory complications. My friend had an incredibly painful and debilitating venous stasis ulcer that wound care clinics could not get closed over a period of three years. We tried the bioready rice and within days, the wound began to respond and the wound is now closed. This also happened with another friend's elderly mom, who is in a nursing home, so we know it works. The bioready rice is taken internally, but was also mixed as a paste and applied directly to the wounds.

Yes the Quercetin & BBromelain and cherry caps. seem to be working. It is for my husband he hasn't had any pain since. What is the bioready rice. I will have to try and look it up.

That's great you are getting results with what you are using!

Nowadays, doing an online search for glyconutrients and glycobiology, will bring up many entries and terms like polysaccharide peptides.

Bioready rice contains these polysaccharide peptides, or the special carbohydrates that are attached to unique proteins and amino acids. Eating a lot of rice will not produce these results.

Since rice is well-tolerated by almost all individuals, young and old, polysaccharide peptides found in the cell walls of special strains of rice, are carefully extracted to retain potency. In the form we use,spirulina is added for additional nutrition and detoxifying qualities. Each polysaccharide peptide molecule apparently forms a complete amino acid profile, complex carbohydrates, co-factors, vitamins and minerals; everything it seems the cells need to create energy and restore health.

The main problem with Gout is the build up of uric acid crystal in the joint. This is what causes the dilatory pain and swelling of the joints. Besides the bio ready rice you can try a tea of Yucca root. Yucca contains saponins which break down body waste like uric acid. Add some Stevia leaves to sweeten. This should help with the root cause of the Gout.

My husband has had gout for many years.........probably more than 20 years. He is on Allopurinol 300 mg. This is a prescription. If you find your husband needs something other than natural remedies he may want to talk to his doctor about this. It has worked very well for my husband. It is inexpensive and he doesn't seem to have any side effects from it.

Gout predominantly affects men and the disease is most likely to occur at a more advanced age. Men with ages over 50 usually develop forms of gout. In some cases, women can also develop the disease after the age of 60.

There are many factors that facilitate the development of gout, but the actual cause of the disease seems to be the body’s excessive secretion of a substance called uric acid. Uric acid is a residual product that is excreted from the body through urine. The surplus of uric acid inside the body leads to its accumulation in the form of uric crystals. These crystals deposit in different regions of the organism, causing inflammation. Gout mainly affects joints, especially those of the lower body limbs. Gout causes inflammation, swelling and intense pain of the affected areas.

Although the disease can be corrected through an appropriate gout treatment, there is no specific cure for it. Many medicines prescribed for gout usually control its symptoms, rather than the actual causes. However, some of the causes of gout can be overcome through the means of a good, healthy diet. It is very important to reduce the consumption of alcohol when suffering from gout, as it interferes with renal activity. Smoking is known to cause damage to arteries and it can also slow down the process of healing.

Gout usually involves intense pain of the joints. Pain episodes tend to become more intense during the night and sometimes people with gout have trouble sleeping. Although some medicines don’t prevent pain attacks from reoccurring, they are effective for temporarily reducing it. Common medicines prescribed in gout treatments are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (indomethacin, ketoprofen, diclofenac, ibuprofen, and naproxen). They are efficient in calming the inflammation and also ameliorate the pain. Anti-inflammatory drugs are usually well-tolerated by the body. They are administered orally, in the quantities prescribed by the doctor.

Another substance used in gout treatment is Colchicine. Although it considerably reduces pain and discomfort of the regions affected by gout, it also has a lot of side effects. Due to this fact, Colchicine is only administered to patients suffering from acute gout or to those who don’t respond well to gout treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Corticosteroids are also used in some gout treatments. They quickly relief the pain and they can usually be injected directly into the affected joint. However, they are used only in extreme cases, due to their multiple side effects.

Although proper diet and drinking larger quantities of water are a natural way of getting rid of the surplus of uric acid from the body, some medicines can also help to normalize the levels of the substance. Such medicines are usually used in chronic gout treatment. Allopurinol is an inhibitor that decreases the quantities of uric acid secreted by the body. Uricosuric Agents like probenecid and sulfinpyrazone improve the activity of the kidneys, aiding the process of excretion.

Many symptoms of gout can be ameliorated by following an appropriate gout treatment. However, when suffering from chronic forms of gout the symptoms reappear after certain periods of time and ongoing treatment is necessary.

No personal experience, but I know others who have used lots of 100% cherry juice. Good luck! Jeanie
