I am qualified to hold a Gout Patients Seminar, as I had healed my own 25 yr history Gout and past medical experience to helping several others successfully.
Gout classified as rheumatism n arthritis, and was discharged this Department of SGH specialist clinic, as healed, after 25 yrs of repeatedly and painfully gout-attacked, plus 6~7 years of treatments.
There are both short-term as well as long term treatments. Short term is to relief pain, prevent further joint degeneration and damages, regain physical strength and mobility. This usually means to be able to walk instead of limping in pain. But walking ok is far from healing, long way in fact. If you just treated gout in short term, you will get another attack the next timr, you are risking gout stones going to damage kidney (think NKF) think peeing blood. You also get alot of gouty mussels, including heart mussels - meaning rheumatic cardiac. Can cause your NRIC to be hole-punched.
The overall of it, gout can be viewed as just a symptom, in the big picture of your health, your diet and living caused your body to be overly ACIDIC. Uric Acid is just one of the many acids in your body, and which triggers gout attacks.
Red Meat, bean, highly over in proteins, beer, COFFEE, are not the only matters.
There are 2 more factors, often omitted by medical experts n nutritionists:
(adequate) WATER.
Alkaline food and drinks, e. g. Fruit Veg TEA. This one is very important, it is primary offset to your acidic diet, for. BALANCE.
75% (Of my n known friends') gout attacks, occurred on HOT SWEATING DAYS. Reason is WATER.Especially men need to pee uric acid out. If you sweated away your water instead of peeing, uric acid levelin yr body shoot up sky high as you got dehydration. That acid can not be sweated out because it's molecular size is bigger than skin's filtration level.
This acid has very nasty irritation and allergic reactions, hot swelling pain, strong itches, paralysis, immobility. Really toxic. It is a waste product of degenerated protein, transformation from yellow and green purins.
It has very limited ways to get out of human body, more so for men, because women can lose them via Menstruation. Mainly is passing urine only. Or hemodialysis aka NKF.
THE BIG ISSUE of most high frequency long term gout cases is: acid level is too high, the acid crystalized into larger size than your blood cells in your blood. Now THEY ARE LOCKED INSIDE YOUR BODY, as your kidneys WON'T DUMP them out! If your kineys could dump them outthen you would be peeing blood as the same time!
In locked state, you get lots of painful stiff hard mussels and joints, lots of gout stone deposits, many joints at where skin are thin and bones ate directly below thin skin, swell into very hard bony lumps which are very sharp spiky nature. Some got bloody lump of pus with discharge.
Only way to heal is to UNLOCK by alkaline neutralization against acid. Not just to restore balance but to adjust your body chemistry kept towards higher side of mildly alkaline, so that backlog residue acid crystals can be dissolved, reduced in sizes, break up, transformed into water and tiny crystals of salts, and leave your body.
I can only write so much for now, because I got myself sleepy already.
