How Exactly do we Define Gout?

(for other similar posts please check out my page called Gout Symptoms )

Well…how you define gout all depends on how you look at it.

How to Define Gout

A western medical doctor would say something like….”I define gout as the presence of uric acid crystals deposited inside one or more joints”.  But, The Gout Wife would say something like…”I define gout as a simple out-of-balance body condition resulting from lifestyle related choices.”  Different, huh?  Lets explore both views:

How Western Medicine would Define Gout, and treat it.

Tuhina Neogi, MD, PhD says “Gout is a type of inflammatory arthritis induced by the deposition of monosodium urate crystals in synovial fluid and other tissues.  It is associated with hyperuricemia, which is defined as a serum urate level of 6.8 mg per deciliter (404 μmol per liter) or more, the limit of urate solubility at physiologic temperature and pH. Humans lack uricase and thus cannot convert urate to soluble allantoin as the end product of purine metabolism. Hyperuricemia that is caused by the overproduction of urate or, more commonly, by renal urate underexcretion is necessary but not sufficient to cause gout.”  Now, I have to ask you:  Is that USABLE information?

And the western medical treatment: No need to learn anything…we’ll just treat your gout symptoms with pharmaceutical drugs.

How The Gout Wife would Define Gout, and treat it.

The Gout Wife says “Gout is the result of lifestyle choices, including diet, exercise, sleep habits, stress management, breathing patterns, etc.  Every body needs certain things to stay in balance, and when it doesn’t get these things problems show up.  For some people those problems show up as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease.  For others it shows up as gout.  Simple.”

And The Gout Wife treatment:  Learn about the root causes of gout, and make simple lifestyle choices that keep you gout free.

So….Which Way do YOU want to Define Gout?

If you would like to explore the common sense way of The Gout Wife….getting educated and steering clear of pharmaceuticals….then I highly recommend getting the book shown on the right side of this page:  The Gout Remedy Report.  This is the most comprehensive guide to the root causes and real cures for gout.    Get this book now and you can say bye-bye to gout for good!

Take it from one who’s been there (me, The Gout Wife)
After reading The Gout Remedy Report and applying what you learn
you’ll be able to Define Gout as “a nightmare that I USED TO HAVE” !!!

Cherry Juice for Gout

What’s the big deal about Cherry Juice for Gout?

 

Everywhere you turn seems like people are shoving black cherries down your throat as the be-all end-all of gout foods.  Is there any truth to this?

Common Sense Gout Cures

Ready for some Common Sense Gout Cures?

(For similar posts please check out my site area called Gout Cures)

Getting Rid of gout is not rocket science.

Gout Cures

Common Sense Gout Cures

You just need to know the facts…the common sense facts. Oh sure, I can bet your rheumatologist gave you lots of scientific data on uric acid levels, and then gave you a prescription for allopurinol, indomethacin, etc.  Well, guess what.  Those drugs only treat the gout symptoms!  If you want to get down to the root of it all and treat the underlying causes of gout, then you need The Gout Wife’s “Common Sense Gout Cures”.

The Gout Wife’s
“Common Sense Gout Cures”

Ok.  Lets talk turkey.  Gout is a lifestyle disease.  Just like diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure….gout is the RESULT of how your treat your body!  This is all very simple…follow me here.

The human body is something like a machine and has the following input requirements, in the following order of priority:

  1. Air (without it you are dead in a matter of minutes)
  2. Water (without it you are dead in a matter of days)
  3. Food (without it you are dead in a matter of weeks or
    maybe months if you have a lot of fat to burn)

Next, in order for the human body to be healthy it needs the following:

  1. Sleep (without it you are a basket case before long)
  2. Exercise (without it you are a beached whale before long)
  3. Stress management (without it you are unhappy in a hurry)

So, as The Gout Wife, I am hear to tell you that IF YOU ADHERE to the above virtues…and truly give your body what it needs to be healthy and happy….you will NOT have gout.  How can I say this…I watched my husband and many other gout sufferers get their lifestyle choices in line with the above, and guess what?  No more gout.

Time to Get Smart…to get the Common Sense Gout Cures

Oh yeah.  I can just hear many of you:

“I already eat well, and I still have gout.”
“I drink plenty of water, and I still get gout”
“I get enough sleep, more than a lot of people I know”

Like I said….its time to get smart…as in… get SMARTER! Problem is that we may think we are doing the right things…but too often what we think we know, just aint so.  What we have been taught about health is so ridiculaously  far from the truth…it is really more about padding the pockets of pharmaceutical companies.  Well I don’t know about you, but I got really sick of being told that my husband could not use natural gout cures to overcome the attacks.  We finally thumbed our noses at “them”…and he is now completely gout-free.

With that in mind I cordially invite you…

to TAKE BACK YOUR HEALTH, by getting some REAL knowledge.  See over there (up above and to the right)…that colorful picture with a book called The Gout Remedy Report?  This book is the bomb.  It has EVERYTHING you need to know to get rid of your gout….now and forever.  And when I say now….I’m talking 2 hours.  Yes, there is a formula of common grocery store items that will make your current gout attack go away within 2 hours.  THEN, there is a guideline of WHAT TO DO  so that you never get another gout attack.  Armed with this map, you can eliminate the root causes of gout and forget about the symptoms…which will be non-existent in a hurry!

Please, do yourself a favor…get the book now.  Then when your doctor tries to tell you that you MUST take a bunch of drugs….you can kindly say “thanks, but no thanks”.  Those are not the so-called Gout Cures that I am looking for :-)

Causes of Gout in Feet

by thegoutwife

What are the main causes of gout in feet?

causes of gout in feet

Causes of Gout in Feet

Same as the causes of gout in other locations in the body….acidity!

 

Feet are the most common place where people get gout.  Especially the big Toe.  Its bad enough that you can barely walk…but on top of that trying to figure out what are the causes of gout in feet is like trying to solve a Sherlock Holmes murder mystery!  There is so much confusing and flat-out WRONG information out there it can be maddening.  So please…allow me to boil it down for you.

 

Here are the top Causes of Gout in Feet

Poor Breathing

Poor Drinking

Poor Eating

Yes….in that order!  You see, its all about  acidity.  Remember from high-school about the pH scale?  Acid is opposite of alkaline.  A low pH number = acid….and a high pH number = alkalinity.  OK, good.  Now, remember from high-school about how our bodies need to be slightly alkaline on the pH scale in order to be healthy?  No?  Oh silly me….I forgot…they dont teach this in high school!  In fact, they really dont teach it anywhere in the USA.  But they certainly do teach it in most other developed nations.

So what does this have to do with gout?  The top 3 causes of gout in feet are directly related to acid.

1)    Breathing:  Every time you exhale…you are expelling acid waste.  When I say “waste” what I am talking about is cellular waste.   Our cells are little living organisms…they eat and poop, they breath in oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide.  THAT is the acid waste I am talking about…CO2 and cellular poop!  And when each of our cells gives of these acid waste where does it go?  Well…in a healthy person it gets “eliminated” out of the body by what are called “pathways of elimination”.  Breathing, and in particular, EXHALING is the #1 Pathway of Elimination.
