What is Gout? how we can treat it?

Gout is a condition in which uric acid builds up in the blood and crystallizes. These crystals "live" in the large joints of the body such as the knees or hips.
It can be treated with a medication called colcichine.
Also staying hydrated with water can prevent gout.

Gout is when you have too much "uretic acid" in your system...

Its a "protein overload" basically, and if you drink a lot of alcohol, it will bring it on FAST!

The best thing is to drink a LOT of water!! (But, watch out that you dont lose all your potassium, so eat lots of potatoes and use Nu-Salt potassium suppliments for salt...--->In fact, if you are a beer drinker, you should be doing this anyways, because you WILL urinate all your potassium out and that starts heart disease!).

Stay off the "red meats" or any meats because that constitute protein and it will increase the uretic acid in the body... It will take a few days to really subside, but, you really need a change of diet if your getting gout, or drop the alcohol if thats your problem...

I wish you well..
