Natural Remedy for Gout

Gout is cyclical just like every other inflammatory condition. It originates with a "glitch" in your body's natural immune response and circulates out of control from there. In the case of gout, the culprit that causes the beginning of the disease is uric acid.

A build up of uric acid can be the result of eating high purine food sources, such as meat and fish, excessive drinking and sometimes even result from prescribed diuretics and it's more common in men than women. Once the uric acid levels in the body are elevated, it causes a drop in the natural pH of the body, which allow crystals to form around the joints.

When the crystals start to form, that's seen as a "threat" by the immune system and white blood cells are called in to clean up the mess. As the white blood cells try to attack the crystals, they are popped causing more protein in the blood stream, which results in the immune system sending more white blood cells to the area and results in inflammation and pain.

From there, the process continues to spiral out.

Relief from gout only really comes from breaking the gout cycle. Traditionally, modern medicine takes a three step approach to dealing with gout.

• Medication to deal with the pain


• Medication to reduce the Inflammation


• Medication to get rid of the excess uric acid

Do you see the common thread here?? Medication, medication, medication...
The problem with this approach is that each medication prescribed has the potential to cause damage elsewhere in the body which can then lead to more medication...

That's why it's important to seek out a natural remedy for gout as well as understand how gout occurs and how you can prevent it from returning in the future.
